Valleyfair announces Renegade for 2007

Building a good relationship with GCI may get them hired in on refurbishing some of the other wood coasters in the Cedar Fair Chain.
You won't see Flyer trains on those, but many problems could be solved.

^You mean like Timber Wolf? ;)

I keep running the thought through my head of GCII building at WOF before Coaster Con is there in 2008.

I'm extremely happy for Valleyfair for getting such a unique addition for a CF park. The design looks fantastic. I'm pleased to see GCI pushing the envelope in terms of height. One of their tallest to date.

Good day today or what!

Anyway, looks like a well designed and thought through ride.

Have fun!

Okay, I admit it. I'm jealous. Jealous that Valleyfair! is getting this ride and not Cedar Point. I would happily trade Maverick for this beauty. I do realize that a GCI may show up at CP in a couple years, but I don't wanna wait. I want my GCI now, dammit! ;)

In any case, congrats to the Valleyfair! fans. Renegade will undoubtedly kick butter!

In two weeks I'll be using the free ticket I got from American Airlines while en route to HWN/RF to gp to Pennsylvania to attend PPP. :) If American Airlines decides to pass out some more freebies look out Minnesota, Here I Come!!!

(That's one :) for every Coaster I was able to ride because of an Overbooked Flight Compensation!)

Looks like a quality coaster, too bad I'm not likely to get there to ride it anytime soon. Hopefully we'll see more Cedar Fair parks getting rides like.

ColumbusCoaster - You were quoted in the local newspaper.

Cool, good move CF. Looks fun.

Timo - I don't see a quote from me anywhere in that article. They must have rewritten it. Too bad -- I've never been quoted in an article before! :)

I like that GCI is mixing more out-and-back elements into their designs.

Exactly. And that is why I said that, to me, this looks like it could be GCI's greatest to date. Not declaring it the number one coaster before it was built... just saying that it looks like it could be a true work of art and a truely great coaster. And hey... Mellinium Flyer Trains! Those things could jump the track, go crashing over a cliff, hitting every single rock on the way down and, while being an intense ride and brutal ride, it would still be done in comfort.

Aaron - They must have re-written because they had the following quote with your name and also a credit to Coasterbuzz.com.
"My first impression of Renegade is that it could seriously challenge Lightning Racer as the "funnest" wooden coaster I've ridden.

I think they had the entire first paragraph of his post, his screen name, and Aaron.

Impulsive-"Wow, looks great, can't wait to see it along the Lake Erie beach in '09 "

And even more excited to see it's brother at Dorney in '08 ;)

Although 850 isn't great, it certainly does the job. On the days I go, steel venom (which has a similar pph) has no more than a 20 minute wait. I have NEVER seen wild thing's whole cue used up except when if first opened. I think the PPH will be fine.

So why didn't we find Renegade on the trademark website... is there already a ride with this name at one of CF's parks?

It was a song and a TV show.

Maverick was a TV show too. Plus the name of an NBA team.

^ Can we make a *trade* and get Mark Cuban to run SFI instead? I mean, just look at the respective records of the Mavs and the 'Skins... ;)

Mark Cuban, may be a MFFL (Mavs fan for life)....but he's also a MFL (maverick for life).

Maybe it's just that CF can be the NBA league, and that SFI will stick with the NFL? It's MY time now, pro sports and parks ARE merging... :)
