I guess maybe it's almost time the rumor's start pouring in. Anyone have any idea if were even getting one. I'm just wondering, is worlds of fun getting something big in 2009, because they aren't getting any Geauga lake rides?

Who says WOF is or is not getting any rides for GL?

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #2 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 03:19 »

Hey i'm just talking off of rumors. I kinda meant Rollercoaster's from Geauga lake.

SuperSteve · « **Reply #3 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 05:53 »

I doubt WOF will be getting Dominator, seeing as KD seems to need it much more, and the Villan probably won't move anywhere, so I kinda doubt WOF will get any coasters from GL. That said, what flats are a possibility? It looked like the top spin was already taken, but what else did they have?

Swoosh · « **Reply #4 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 06:39 »

They had Time Warp - Double Inverter
Texas Cyclone - Top Spin
El Dorado - themed rainbow
Starfish - Wipeout
YoYo
Galleon
Haybaler - Avalanche/Toboggan/Flying Musik Express
Americana ferris wheel

Isn't Thunderhawk a Top Spin? Or am just confusing things?

michaelf · « **Reply #6 on:** Sep 23, 2007, 09:33 »

WoF T-Hawk: Huss Top Spin
GL T-Hawk: Vekoma SLC (and a pretty smooth one at that)

zztop · « **Reply #7 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 04:44 »

i wouldn't mind time warp and most of the paromont parks have one like it so who knows

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 06:33 »

Ok. Thats what I thought.

Don't forget that Dorney Park's Thunderhawk is a woodie.

Whatever we get I hope it is awesome.

Swoosh · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 08:36 »

Gawd, I sure hope the rumours that I keep hearing about Villain coming to WOF are not true. I keep hearing them from numerous people who are usually right on the money. UGH! I don't want that POS at our park.

tonyblackjack · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 10:59 »

Please No. That would mean the GCI for 2009 would be out of the question. Please No to Villain. I thought Cedar Fair loved WOF.

zztop · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 04:57 »

noooo not villian

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 05:37 »

Ugh screw dat.

Shelly · « **Reply #15 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 06:55 »

But, wouldn't an increased coaster count at WOF be a good thing?

Swoosh · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 07:37 »

Increased coaster count = good
Villain being moved to WOF = bad

Shelly · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 09:52 »

I've never been on Villain...
Is it that bad?

Swoosh · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 10:25 »

pretty much

Shelly · « **Reply #19 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 11:21 »

OK - I will take your word for it

Villain = bad

Jason · « **Reply #20 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 11:27 »

I'll agree with the Villain sentiment. It's not a good ride.

Ben · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 11:51 »

As I stated in another thread adding Villain to any park would be more like subtracting a coaster than adding one.

This thing is horrible, I couldn't believe it was that bad until I rode it for myself and boy is it bad.

I just don't see CF moving that coaster anywhere, Wooden coasters have to be the most expensive to move just do to the shear labor involved. And I don't think anyone would shed a single tear if that thing was torn down and recycled.

Heck it could be turned into cheap Chinese toys that break your finger when you play with them for all I care and it would be a better use of material.

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #22 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 01:24 »

Well I have to say, no way in heck they would really try moving this coaster. Way too much in cost. And way too much labor.

Jason · « **Reply #23 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 01:50 »

I bet that it gets moved. It's steel structure will make it an easier project than a standard wood coaster.

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #24 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 01:56 »

True. But why would they close down Geauga lake. I mean it hasn't been doing good or anything but... there is so much history there. People around the area there are angrified!!!

Swoosh · « **Reply #25 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 02:37 »

Villain will be easier to move than one would think. The steel structure is what will make it pretty easy to move.
GL got shut down (or atleast the ride side) because of poor attendance. As far as the locals being angry, not really. Most of them thought the park had closed down years ago and are actually surprised it was still open -- hence why attendance has been so low. The locals could care less, most go to Kennywood instead anyway

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #26 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 02:39 »

Well your quite right. My bad. Well, if this coaster would be coming to WoF, wouldn't we see survey markers and all starting to pop up?

Swoosh · « **Reply #27 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 02:40 »

Ahh, one would think -- but who says they are not there somewhere already?

Cardinal185 · « **Reply #28 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 02:40 »

Ahhh true. Why Mr. Hollon, where might they just be?

zztop · « **Reply #29 on:** Sep 25, 2007, 03:26 »

i watched the pov of villian on youtube it looks like a good ride just way to rickety and bumpy
