Cedar Point 2016

[shoes22]

He's just the guy who sits at the rides' exits now in his Wrangler jean shorts, Hanes polo that fits a bit too tight and an aura of Pierre Cardin musk staring at the tank topped girls nodding.

As I respect that, rides are still fun. The lines just suck. Especially when you just go with your girlfriend and have to be by her side THAT long.

Since I moved down to Cbus ~6mo. ago, I have to go check out Kings Island. Never been.

King’s Island has some pretty good rides. My favorites are their main wooden coaster that I forget the name of, Diamondback, Banshee, Vortex, and the coaster that used to be X-Flight at Geauga Lake. (RIP)

This was a couple days ago. I believe they were supposed to announce the new ride today.

Sucks that a dumb shit ruined the surprise for everyone. Typical America. It sucks he died, but it was his own fault for being an idiot. They re-opened the ride. So why not just make an announcement about a totally different ride? Might as well cancel Halloweekends!

 

[Huber.]

Did they ever find out how the guy died? Like, did someone kick him in the head?

 

[Kypus]

That's what I was wondering- because your feet dangle on Raptor...my gf wondered if there are front cars (which would be solid), and I don't remember...

That was what I told her, "Did someone like kick his head off!?"

Leaked footage:

And no, the front people's legs just dangle. Nothing in front.

Pretty sure the ride was empty...either test-driving or puke cleaning...i remember reading that from one of the news outlets.

There is a portion of that ride where you are literally feet from the ground so perhaps that's where the incident occurred.

If someone kicked him in the head, we probably would be hearing about a 2nd victim... Probably not dead, but I think you'd lose your limb if it made a life-ending impact on a guy's head going that fast.

Announcement moved to 9/9. It's possible they rebranded the ride away from the trademarked "Valravn" due to it's thematic connections to death and the recent incident. We will see.

 

[Pyro]

Nah. If they did, fuck em.

Sure damn looks like a coaster haha.

And if they change the name... Why does EVERYONE have to be so paranoid about what people think? Does CP really think they will lose business because a coaster has a "historical" name of killing kids or whatever. Then please take down Maverick. Mavericks used to be rebellious and didn't listen to rules. That is offensive. Please take down Millennium Force. In my eyes, it shows how in the new millennium, men are forcing themselves onto women.

They should name the new coaster Caitlyn. B/c when you ride it you have no idea which way you are turning.

But no one has balls anymore, so that won't happen.

Caitlyn has hers still :drumhit:

If they change the name you all should boycott. If not, then u are no better than they are, just paying lip service to political correctness. This is what Trump would do.

It's now official and the rumors/leaks were all correct.

Uncaged in 2016, Valravn will be the TALLEST, FASTEST and LONGEST dive coaster in the world! Swoop 223 feet down the 90-degree drop, free falling at speeds up to 75mph through three inversions.

Previous records were 213ft. drop and 71mph.

Looks fun.

best part about it is it is just another roller coaster that will make other lines shorter.

I haven't been in a few years, so will probably head there next year.
