I just got a message from Dainan (who is at Cedar Point), and it sounds like he's kind of disappointed with the park not living up to expectations. It got me thinking, what has been the most disappointing park you've visited? Which parks haven't lived up to the hype or your expectations?

 

For me the park that was the biggest letdown was King's Island. I had always heard it was SUCH a great park...enthusiasts gushed about it all the time. I had been to Kings Dominion several times and enjoyed it, but I always heard the KI was even better. I thought KI was generally a run down place, with only one really good coaster and a lot of crappy ones. I was not disappointed by The Beast... I thought it was as good as I had always heard, but the rest of the park just didn't do much for me. I think Kings Dominion is a MUCH better park, thought enthusiasts still seem to think KI is the better of the two.

Old post to quote but still lol

I was disappointing by .... gasp.... sfga'd when I made my only visit in 2009. Kings Island is more well rounded then sfga'd is.

I've heard TTD's launch is based off the weight of the previous train to predict the speed the next train needs to launch. Not sure if this is really what happens.

You might know that company's are know to pitch new ride ideas to amusement parks for new additions. Have you heard how the "ride" Dark Knight was most likely first designed for Paramount Parks as (Spongebobs) "Mrs Puffs Boating School"?

Does Green Lantern have a line separator like Diamondback does?

(Notice the uphill section)

Some interesting photos on here, including "Ultra Twister"

Swinging Ship

Kings Island's Vortex 2002

Great spotlight, these rides are soon becoming somewhat rare these days. I think Kings Island's Congo Falls days are numbered.

Are they removing there Enterprise flat ride?

First off great trip reports, I enjoy reading them. Good decision of skipping simpsons, it made me feel sick after riding. This is the first good comment I've heard about Sherk 4-D I thought it was terriable. I went to Universal for the first time this summer with my friends family. Staying on park property is a huge plus due to the Express Pass. 4 days of line skipping really had me spoiled. I hope they keep E.T. Adventure it was probaly my favorite ride there along with Rockit and Men in Black. Can't wait for your thoughts on IOA.

Really cool video thanks for posting^

Winterfest if only it lasted...

I was very impressed with the que line in and around the "Giant Drop" attraction at Six Flags Great America, something of this sorts would fit in the Best of the West area like you stated.

Now that I think about it, this is the only large park I can think of without a drop tower of some sorts.

"I hope I don't need to E-Stop, it might be too late when I find the button"

I'd be intrested to see some photos of this Que your talking about (Ka was closed when I visited)

Keep up the good work, I love visiting this site and seeing all the unique and different additions you guys come up with.
