Valleyfair 2015 - Soak City Expansion

[Coasterkidmwm]

That system is stupid. If I recall CP's system, one of the kiddie coasters was like a 3/5.

Yeah Cedar Fair's thrill ranking system is bunk.

Oh wait I found it. Woodstock's Express is rated a 4/5 on their thrill scale (Wilderness Run/Jr. Gemini is the only ride rated below 4).

Just found out this isn't the only news in Minnesota... A new coaster will open at Como Town in St. Paul sometime mid-May!

That playground is looking like a raggedy piece of s*** right now... I don't know how much bigger it's going to get lol. The dump bucket is already in place. That is seriously embarrassing haha but it's a good thing I don't care about that portion of this expansion at all.

It's still better than the old one

I unfortunately have to agree with you. Nowadays, large tipping bucket play areas seem to be the norm for most decent sized waterparks, but this looks like something you'd find at a local city waterpark.

It looks like it came from a box at Home Depot

So long, old Valleyfair sign...

First look at the new one.

What are they doing with the old sign? I'll take it if the're just tossing it

Classic Cedar Fair font. I knew the flag would be over the I.

Maybe there's a chance it could go to some museum, but otherwise it's probably headed to the junkyard.

NICE!!! I was really worried about that sign for my VF recreation. The new sign is MUCH easier to make. Thanks Cedar Fair!

Wow, that was fast.

Brand new sign, indeed!

NOOOOOOO... THAT SIGN HAD SO MUCH CLASS =((

I guess Soak City probably won't be getting a new entrance after all (that had been discussed before the rollback) because it looks like they're putting in some landscaping near that corner (circled below), and I don't think a waterpark entrance would work out there.

That's not where the new entrance would be. And in your picture, the tarp is blocking it. And I posted the promotional cartoon, because it looks like the entrances match up, with the landscape you're talking about forming the alley.

Those are some pretty steep drops...

Those look like a lot of fun!

I jizzed on every square inch of my bedroom.

The slides have begun testing...
