I'm puzzled. When they decided to remove Triple Play, they wasted no time and removed it before the next season started. Now, with The Orbit, they fence the whole area off, and the ride is still there, with 1/4 of the season over. As of right now, I don't know what to think. If anyone knows anything...

Even though Survivor can seat 40 people at once, the line still moves slow.

And I don't know what's going on with The Orbit. It's been like that since the season first started. They probably won't take it out until the end of the season.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm alomst positive that the Carousel at PGA has carpet on the bottom deck, but they have wood on the top deck. I always go on the top so I never notice the bottom.

I'm not surprised the footers are still there. It's a waste of money to get rid of them. Greased Lightnin's and some of Stealth's footers (the one's that didn't interfere with Boomerang Bay.) are all still there.

This is definately a great move for Cedar Fair and for (P)GA. Hopefully this will put a hault on this family oriented crap (for now of course :wink: ).

This was pretty funny went I went to PGA last season. My friend and I were on Invertigo facing these two little kids that were about 50 inches, and you have to be 54 inches to ride. The ride-ops did not check their height before they rode. After the ride was over, the ride-op said something so stupi...

Last season, the waterfall was red in the beginning of the season. And throught the rest of the season it faded to pink, then became clear again. This season it's clear, unless they decide to make it red later in the season. The theming hasn't changed this season. There is still the first tunnel bef...

I remember the trolley tracks were there not too long ago. And then they finally repaved the whole park.

^^The restraints were the same, just the color was different. I think it looks better yellow than purple. But I think they should paint the whole track a darker purple instead of half purple and half yellow. The contrast would look really nice.

Nothing too different besides Survivor. Just minor things such as; Vortex's restraints are now yellow instead of purple, very minor things. It wasn't that crowded at all. The longest line I waited in was Survivor (obviously), and Vortex because it was only operating one train.

Here is a video of Survivor in action. The quality is kind of poor because it's from my cell phone.

It's going to leave. :( They turned the rest of the area around it into a smoking area. There are wooden walls surrounding it. But the ride itself is just sitting there waiting to be taken away. And another thing, I have a really strong feeling that where Triple Play was is going to get a flat ride ...
