Anyone can ride GEC.  You might look creepy as an adult riding without a kid, but that's a choice you'll have to make.

Also, anyone can put a bucket on his/her head and have someone beat on it with a crowbar.  That's another option, but really it has about the same effect.

I take it you speak from experience.  I know the Joplin School District is rough but I didn't realize they abused the teachers to that extent.   ;D

Just because an adult can ride a kiddie coaster doesn't make it a family coaster. In my opinion, a family coaster is a ride that everyone, no matter their age, can ride the coaster and have fun. Really anyone over ten probably won't have fun on the GEC.

You should try riding it with me and my friends then. We took it over and had a great time.

I'll say this:  if it weren't for the kids teaching would be easy.

Actually, they frown on handling the kids in these parts.  No wonder you have trouble with their parents!  8)



Actually the kids don't bother me, and neither do the parents; after 27 years, the worst part is the government.

The kiddie coaster in Grand Expo is a kiddie coaster. Sure some adults can fit in those cars  and ride with lil' boogereater but that does not make it a family coaster just like no wacky worm coaster  is a family coaster.

Another reason I am enjoying my move to a private.

Does it really matter?   Are we all seriously arguing something from a laroy post?

Get ready for an August announcement for the 2018 expansion! Unfortunately...it'll be August 2017 before they officially announce the new "attraction".

The most recent survey being shopped won't be for anything arriving at SDC in 2017 or 2018. That ship sailed long ago.

RMC knocked it out of the park with OR and I'm sure HFEC and SDC feel like they couldn't have gotten more value for the money. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see them put their faith in RMC's innovation prowess once again with either the first or one of the first T-Rex installations.

Forget the spinning business. A T-Rex would be another game changer sure to put SDC on the map once again.

This would be exciting and something to look forward too.

And then you have the issues that Lightning Run is having

I guess it all depends on how busy RMC is this off season.  I know they have at least 4 S&S Free-Fly coasters going through the shop right now (they manufacture the track for this particular coaster for S&S) and who knows if there will be more (we should know after next Thursday's SF mass park expansion announcement).
