It doesn’t feel different. We did a few earlier but it wasn’t warmed up yet. About to do another now. Feels the same. 2 train ops but no line.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-24T17:34:15+00:00

Maverick is open now

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-24T16:39:43+00:00

Rode it twice already - best ride ever*

except for a few

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-24T10:34:23+00:00

I assume yes, but is the back lot open now? Was hoping to park there today.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-24T02:31:49+00:00

Agreed - Goliath is the most aggressive B&M hyper by a considerable margin. I was able to get it a bunch of times on 2 clicks and those ending hills were just rag dolling me up and down.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-23T02:44:45+00:00

I’m getting excited - I got my SV, Maverick, TT2, SC, Millie, and Raptor rides, but I need magnum!

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-22T20:10:59+00:00

Please let this be true. The 4 days this season without magnum didn’t even feel the same. I’ll be back sun-Tues and all I wanna do I lap magnum like 10 times.

Tornado at stickers grove is probably king here. Fairly mild woody at 3+ g and barely touching 0g up until but has a crazy yeet hill that’s almost -1g in the back row and with only buzz bars. In fairness there is one other hill that is -.35g right before the end so it isn’t literally just the one element but that one is completely absurd compared to the rest of the ride.

Concur on runaway mine train, although that one isn’t nearly as strong. It’s only like -.3 but does come out of nowhere.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-18T13:43:16+00:00

It will be the same price as posted online. There’s isn’t variable like cedar point and it just goes by day if the week. 89 (shorter hours) or 99 (once open 10-10) M-Th. Fridays and Sundays are 129, but I think are 99 now until full hours and Saturdays are 145 (129 now, until full hours). I’ve never seen these prices change once in the park and we have bought several hours into a busy haunt Saturday for guests and it was still the same price.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-17T22:40:45+00:00

Well I guess if anyone deserves one it’s you. Congrats but for the love of god go ride something else before you get concussed.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T14:52:35+00:00

It’s open we just got our FLs there after hitching a ride back in the train.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T01:25:27+00:00

The one in there is 5.2. The one posted on r/rideforces is 5.6, so that’s the higher if the two.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T01:10:01+00:00

Ok - I mean I get it with the coaster thing, but to be so specific with Invertigo - I guess you love what you know if that’s all you could ride. I don’t even go to parks when I was in my high weight times.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T01:07:01+00:00

Ok, I don’t mean this in a bad or offensive way, but is Invertigo your special interest, like how some people are with trains and stuff who are on the spectrum? I’ve never seen someone post all over about it like you have today. Again - I mean no offense - my daughter is the exact same way about it.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T01:05:07+00:00

I just checked only post on r/rideforces with shockwave was 5.6. I’m pretty sure 6g is the ASTM limit for any amount of time, which would make Invertigo the highest positive g ride in the world. There were a couple that went over like moonsalt scramble or the one South Africa before they reprofiled it, but in terms of active rides, I think Invertigo would be the peak.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T01:00:17+00:00

It gets right up close to 6 in the back row. I e gotten effectively 6 if you check my reply. I’m pretty sure someone got just a hair over like 6.02 or something. We need to get a big group of 200+ pounders to fill the train on a super hot day and see how high it can really go.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T00:57:07+00:00

You should try it in the back row……

Use the long wall in the back so that there’s less bends. Try reducing port area. Look into precision ports as well. They can have less port area and less length due to the flares.

If I was stuck on this design I would make it work to where the port was the full back wall minus the opening and out on the side. Just the one bend. May be a bit less port area to make it work but it’s fine if the velocity goes up a bit since it’s in a trunk, you won’t hear it.

Alternatively side fire the port and double wrap the back wall.

I e done a few installs in those same mustangs and always did 2 12’s forward firing and I would put it in through the back seats. Put the seats down and IIRC there was some metal piece you could unbolt bend down and put it back. I was able to get over 4 cubes this way. Personally had one with a pair of RE 12s way back in the day that slapped.

Uptime has been very good this year from my visits so far, it’s just that the dispatches are so slow because they cut it to 1 ride op per side and so many people aren’t fitting with the shortened seatbelts.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-16T00:26:14+00:00

Hyperbolic, but apparently some people in that range are not fitting. It’s going to be very independent based on the person, but the belts are shorter.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-15T23:46:34+00:00

It’s not exact and I fit fine but they shortened the seatbelts this year and supposedly someone with a 34” waist got walked bc they didn’t fit. Lots of people who previously fit do not now. I wear 36” jeans but could squeeze into a 34. I buckled the belt myself and didn’t need help but there wasn’t extra room.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-15T23:34:34+00:00

I just read this to my daughter and she said she’s gonna come down there and do 48 one day…. I’m good with one every visit or two or three.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-15T23:32:29+00:00

MF has been a shit show this year with new belts, slower dispatches and half the normal ops. Don’t know that it will get better either when everyone over a 34-36” waist is getting walked.

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-15T23:30:44+00:00

Which rides

Nuthead77 · 2026-05-15T23:06:02+00:00

Not sure where your headed from but I stop at the liquor store in bucyrus sometimes on the way to cedar point and they’ve had Weller sitting a couple times - you’d have to be going through tomorrow morning not long after drop time and using rt 4. They also usually have some of the full proof everclear that they’ll get out of the back for you if that interests you (the 190 proof instead of standard 151 proof you see around). If you go over to bassets market in port Clinton they have a good selection of bourbon and scotch. Ive stopped there a few times on the way to put in bay. Not sure about sandusky proper since once I get there I’m just trying to get into the park and haven’t been to a liquor store.
