Patriot

...When I saw the old-fashioned hills rising over the wooded terrain here and there (And YES, I still take time to ride the Howler!), I knew whom designed this! Welcome to The Patriot @ 20 Flags over No Limits! Classic lift hill, plenty of air time afterwards, and those foliage-surrounded turns that don't reveal where they're headed until you get to them! Kudos...Kudos...Kudos! Oh, by the way - Did you hear The Beast got a bit longer this season (2022)?

Another complete park in which I played the role of patron and rode on everything - all simulated "day into the night"... The launch coaster (Fury) has some cool loops and that first top hat is reminiscent of the one on "Xcelerator" @ KBF... The six seat Woodie offers some classic thrills, and there's always lots of height and speed on the Hornet, but I really liked the tall, "Skyscraper", although you might get a few complaints about hitting that one tree! I didn't see the Zipper move during my visit, so I assume that one is only there for show...Too bad, as I would've liked to see how that Chance classic got simulated... Nice job overall, and you're right - Pitt NEEDS a second park in the vicinity... I've been to Kennywood once, and it's OK, but I think I'd go the extra couple of hundred miles to Cedar Point...

Doppel Looping

Classic Schwarzie Porta-Looper... I rode the Laser @ Dorney Park... Great re-creation, right down to the support bracing on the ground and the metal "Flares"...

Sun Scream - SS4

Got lost in the place 'til well after dark... Managed to get on everything, but I liked the old classic "Out-and-Back" Woodie the best! Excellent job on this entire seaside park!

Woww! Not an S&S like most would expect with a more modern twist/dive ride, but a SCHWARZIE, and one with classic features at that! This is a treat, as Schwartzies (both Loopers and "Jumbo Jet" types) are quickly disappearing as many of them are reaching 50, even 60 years! No offense to S&S or even RMC, but this is awesome, especially for us old timers! Kudos!

Nice! Reminds me a little bit of the "Xcelerator" @ KBF, with a huge loop here instead of the the iconic top hat after launch that the real ride features... Lots more high speed twists and turns on this one as well...

Cliff Diver

Another great job of terraforming! Love the first drop and all the additional speed and airtime...With the simplified, cost-effective support system that many hypers utilize today, this monster could actually be built! Kudos here!

Cyclone

Although the track layout and support features are a bit different, this one reminds me of the "Demon" @ SFGAm... Namely, a classic Arrow Corkscrew that is going on 50 years at its current location... The lift hill through the mature wooded area also demonstrates that...Great job here!

Gwisin day

I haven't ridden one of these for real since the long-departed "Big Bad Wolf" @ BGW in 1985, the second season it was opened, and I notice that you have quite a few downhills that mimic that famous one over the riverbank used by BBW that the current "Verbolten" also now utilizes (I think Verbolten also uses the old que as well, if I'm not mistaken)...Terraforming is top-notch and the ride is extremely smooth overall, but that often describes many Arrow-Huss Suspenders when they are new, as the action and reaction swing of the cars are exceedingly hard on the supports, track, carriage wheel assemblies, and braking systems over time, and the entire ride tends to wear out sooner than many other coasters, especially B&M inverteds... I also like the peeling paint and signs of age in the supports and track sections... Nice job here...
