Well, I know what I'm doing this summer now. Hopefully no one throws up on me.

Did this replace the Orient Express?

Post by **Brad** » Wed Apr 12, 2006 2:00 am

no spinning dragons replaced the Orient Express from what I heard.

That's correct Brad.

So where's this new Patriot rollercoaster? I bet if you made everyone recite the star spangled banner to get on there would be a very short line!

This is a ride that should have been added about 5 years ago...not exactly "cutting edge" by any means. I wonder if it's been recycled from another park?

WoF is relatively small compared to some of the larger amusement parks. They don't have the money to throw around like, lets say, Six Flags. At least WoF is still growing, adding, improving, and investing a lot in the park. I'd say they are putting themselves in position to become a major regional attraction (more so than it already is).

WOF is owned by Cedar Fair L.P., the owners of Cedar Point, Knotts Berry Farm, and Valleyfair among others. You'd think they would invest in these types of rides as they are fresh. I did notice Valley Fair didn't have a ride like this either. Cedar Point is probably the most renowned park in the world, it's just kind of surprising to me. I guess I got spoiled while being in Chicago and having Six Flaggs (which is KICK |expletive|!). At least WOF is way ahead of Adventureland! LOL
