You say it’s the worst of the Morgan hypers, but remember that it is the very first Morgan hyper and made history for it.
I remember being underwhelmed by it some days and really loving it other days.
Fun fact, it was also my first hyper I went on.
@@InsomniacBroz same!
True, but why ride a Morgan hyper when your only a few minutes from Mako!
Also I love wild thing not only riding it but it is so easy to operate
Valleyfair associate here,
Some things that caught my attention:
4:39 - that's the road to the back of the park for deliveries and the associate parking lot
9:59 - I work for the panda express at the park and I never knew that other cedar fair parks didn't give out lids and straws for the paper refill cups.
Glad you enjoyed the park. If you ever come back in the future, check out the waterpark too! We got a pretty solid water park that was upgraded a few years ago. Also, one thing you have to experience is the holding brake on steel venom (it's fixed!). Hope you can come back soon!
Any Idea if VF Is getting a new ride soon?
Renegade looks like a great GCI. I haven’t done it, but it looks excellent.
Agreed.
I rode it the other day, the pacing is fantastic and there are plenty of moments of floater and laterals. It's easily the best coaster in the state. Also that S-shaped drop is so much fun in the back
Its probably the best GCI in the states
@@thenuccichannel5742 Goldstriker, Mystic Timbers, and Prowler are better
@@shchorss i can see Gold Striker being better i assume those two are close. Im riding Mystic in 2-3 weeks but most ppl i usually agree with have it as an averagd GCI, and Prowler looks like a top 5 GCI in the states but i think Renegade looks superior
Delirious is an obvious reference to prince, with it’s purple color and it being in Minneapolis area. :)
Valleyfair is such a good home park, wish they’d add though! Back in the early 2000’s they actually did have a mild thing which was quite fun for a kiddy coaster haha! Renegade was actually my first ever coaster! I was a tall 5 year old that had no fear!
I feel like this park just needs one new stand out coaster, and it can be a top park with Kings Island Carowinds and Cedarpoint. My home park is dorney and this just looks like a better Dorney.
It is a great park fr
Hey Taylor, again, it was a pleasure meeting you, Sara and Scott. Im glad you had a good time. Couple of notes, Steel Venom has its holding brake on the back spike working again. Also, High Roller has had several trim brakes added that have slowed its pace. The last little air time hill before the final brake run used to be its best! Anyway, plan to come back when we get our next coaster addition.
The reason for the trim brakes if I remember correctly or I have heard is because when Excalibor first opened there was a hill between the first drop and the turnaround but the hill was too intense so they had to remove it and that is why you have that flat section there and thus the trim brakes at the top of the first drop. Also I completely agree that VF needs another major attraction. It has been well over a decade. That is one criticism of being owned by CP is they put all their money into their main park and ignore their smaller parks. I know the local management of VF is not happy with CP and takes shot at the parent company all the time on their twitter for the lack of anything new.
Yes it would be so nice to have a new coaster and let’s say most of the management are pretty mad with the higher ups
all of the smaller cedar fair parks desperately need new coasters
They would really benefit from a Vekoma Spacewarp.
Will you rank every single Cedar Fair park?
That’s would be a good video! Number one will be no surprise though hahh
Definitely Michigan’s Adventure
@@JamesonThomas24 imagine if it was a surprise and everybody went nuts. That said, it’s unlikely Cedar Point will lose its crown.
yes
@@CoasterStudios awesome! Your rankings are your best videos.
Valley fair and Michigan’s adventure: running one train on the wild mouse
California’s great America: having like 6 go at a time
nope still bad ops at ca great America waited too long for that wild mouse
@@jaxsonzatech7527 I think its a cedarfair thing
Every time I've been to CaGA that stupid wild mouse has the longest wait in the park. It's the only ride I skip.
Cedar Fair really needs to do something more with this park it looks like it is a really neat little park
I mean we’ve been getting new rides, like North Star and delirious but a new coaster would be nice
Thanks for visiting my home park. It never gets invested in like it deserves bc it’s a “regional” park. I call bs on that statement. MOA is a tourist destination, so VF could/should become one. Then maybe, just maybe we might get a coaster or three that we deserve…..instead of a Larson Loop with a Prince theme.
Love the channel!!
Went here a month or so back. My first Cedar Fair park. I loved Wild Thing. I was impressed at how smooth Corkscrew and High Roller were. What impressed me most was the laid back feel the place has.
It's really funny how you were referring to Wild Thing because there actually used to be a kiddie coaster here (before Planet Snoopy opened) called Mild Thing. I rode it once or twice but barely remember it.
I wish CedarFair would invest massive money into ValleyFair!! The park deserves a lot more love! I think they could develop all the neighbouring land that is after Excalibur!!!!
It's our home park. It's a great small clean park. It's pretty much perfect for us since we have a kiddo. So it has a really good mix for us. Plus the included water park is really good. They did free season passes for kids 5 this season. Something else that you touched on is that there's a really good energy there.
This park has special meaning for me as I spent my first visit in 2013 with my brother, my dad and my dad’s father (my grandfather) before he passed away from Alzheimer’s a few years later... it was pretty awesome.
ValleyFair does an amazing job maintaining that holding brake on Steel Venom
My home park! So happy you finally made it out here.
Good to see some bigger enthusiasts shine some light on this park
Very satisfying to see you enjoyed what is currently my hometown park enough to say at the end you'd be back if they added something new. It's a lovely regional park that has been shown lots of love even without very many capital investments. Now if only Cedar Fair would open their eyes and recognize it as well.
Valleyfair half the Cedar Fair name half the Cedar Fair Quality
Lol
They were gonna make it better but someone said “what’s the Point?”
The half quality we got is not in maintenance department
Valleyfair really is the biggest victim of the Paramount Parks purchase.
Before it, it was a top park for CF right behind Point and Knotts.
Afterwards, it is in the same priority as Michigan's Adventure.
nahhh best park
You can easily tell which parks Cedar Fair cares more about. That being said, their less popular parks could be so much better with a new coaster and some good operations.
We are so short of staff we can’t run most rides at full train capacity send help
Taylor, thank you for putting out good, appropriate content. I love watching your videos I've been watching for quite awhile and will always continue to watch.
My home park! So glad to see y’all enjoyed it, but VF definitely in need of upgrades 🙃
This was my home park for a while and I wish they could add in more here. This park could really use literally anything from cedar point.
If they put in a new rollercoaster that’d bring in so much energy into the park and spike attendance. I intentionally haven’t gone for years because I told myself I wouldn’t go until a new coaster comes.
I’m glad that you guys enjoyed my home park! I hope Valleyfair will get a new Roller Coaster in the near future!
If only they invested into this park
They are possibly getting a gravity group wooden coaster in 2022
@@meverything2216 niice
@@meverything2216 is this a joke lol
@@tyler1783 no it’s a rumor that I’ve heard going around
@@tyler1783 oops I got is confused Will Dorney Park
You gotta love the sound when the impulse’s launch!
Renegade is excellent; definitely has the best first drop on a GCI. I agree High Roller has better airtime than what people give it for, but I still say Renegade has the best air in the park
Thanks for finally visiting my home park, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for sooooo long just waiting for this video game I come out.
What’s your thoughts on a new coaster there? Keep up the work :)
Valleyfair is also my home park and I can say they definitely need a new coaster soon. Iowa has a new theme park coming in called lost Island with a vekoma invert and intamin launch. Then there's Adventure Land not to far away from there that has just gotten 3 new Coasters within the past 5 years, most recently being a sms free spin. On top of that there were/ still are plans to build a rmc Raptor at a Waterpark in Sioux Falls. I hope Cedarfair management notices that the competition is growing up in the Midwest.
I do care about this park. Haven’t been since it re opened but I love it. They used to have a kiddie coaster called Mild Thing.I also love the hiiiiiggggghhhhh rollerrrr!
I remember back before Steel Venom and the Larson loop was there, there were two 18 hole mini golf courses, go karts, and the bumper boats attached to an arcade. You could enter that section of the park without paying the entrance fee there and that's why its in such an odd spot.
Love watching your videos! You and Sarah always seem to be having so much fun. Love your energy, keep up the good work
If only you were there when steel Venom holding break was on 😭😭
Wait… they removed that?!
@@essaym7509 no it was just down for a month or 2
@@donovanerickson1977 I was thinking the same thing. That's what makes Steel Venom so great.
I still enjoy wild thing, first 2 hills are fun and the bunny hills are decent at the end. My biggest issue is the middle of the ride loses intensity. And I have been to cedar point. I hope cedar fair will invest more money into valleyfair, it has great potential!
This is like one of the only vlogs on earth that isn’t annoying
Probably the most neglected park in cedar fair. Sad because it's been apart of the company since the beggining.
*Michigan's Adventure
They bought out the competition to the north and are siphoning whatever money is left in this park for the ‘coaster Mecca’ Cedar Point.
We’re hanging in there
AYYY! MY HOME PARK!! Thanks for finally stopping by :D
Renegade review? I told you Renegade was best in the back row!
Time to rank all of them
Valleyfair is built next to a floodplain that is why it sits on higher ground that runs along the highway.
Cedar Fair needs to give some serious love to their outlier parks. It's been too long, and something has to give
I really really want to ride Excalibur. One of coolest concepts Arrow ever did. I just think its nuts they could have invented RMC's decades before if they had gathered more interest.
I’ll be there for my first time in two weeks, can’t wait for renegade
Renegade is my favorite wooden coaster I’ve been on… love it!
El toro is typing…
Question - At a cedar fair park, is a Larsen loop a credit?
I’m kidding cough six flags cough
Lmao at least SF is fixing that issue and removing their larson loopers even though they only like 3 years old
@@MoneyMakeOnlineEasy and shipping them to la ronde…
Doesn’t cedar point count pipe scream as a coaster. Never mess with this magic mountain fanboy
It's a debit
Lmao the “du du du du cHArgE” on Excalibur
This is sadly my home park… we’re just sooo desperate to get a new coaster… like a B&M invert, some sort of RMC, or just anything big that would stand out in the park…
A B&M invert is my dream here, honestly
Tbh I got excited once I heard they were removing Dinosaurs Alive at the front of the park. Is anything occupying that space currently?
@@essaym7509 unfortunately no. It is currently empty.
But we really do need to get rid of Corkscrew and Excalibur. A B&M invert would be perfect in Corkscrews spot. But B&M flying coasters are my fav. Cedar Fair just needs to put more money into Valleyfair. Too bad we won’t even get a new coaster for years to come… probably even after we die Valleyfair still won’t have a new coaster…
Where is this park?
Home Park!!! Wild Thing has air time on the returning hills if you sit car 6 row 1. Steel Venom's hold brake is fixed as of writing this comment.
Both times ive been to valleyfair ,Excalibur has been closed which sucks,especially because it wouldve been my 450th rollercoaster today.
Darn was hoping to say hi when yall visited the park. Oh well, love your videos. Watch for next year's announcements later in the season
Airtime thrills seeing renegade 👁👄👁 “if you know you know”
I'm happy you guys made it to my home park, and I appreciate the positive feedback. Though, I'm not gonna lie, the park is pretty mediocre, but it has good atmosphere. They have some good rides, too. Renegade is my favorite out of them, though Power Tower, Steel Venom, and Xtreme Swing are cool, too. Still, it gets pretty boring going on the same rides over and over. Also, I don't get why Renegade is only rated 4 when some of the lamest rides are rated 5, that doesn't make sense. And yeah, I agree, they need a new roller coaster. It's been far too long.
welcome to minnesota !
This is my hometown park so I’m obviously a little salty since our newest rollercoaster was Renegade in 2007. So I’ve been riding the same rollercoasters since I was 13. Cedarfair does not care about this park as each year the budget is getting smaller and smaller. Literally the announcements for the 2021 season was bathroom renovations, and a new corn stand 😑
The pandemic obviously hampered what they'd add for 2021. I expect something big in the next few years.
Steel venom is my favorite impulse coaster,because of its holding brake.
Thanks
The reason for the trims on Excalibur’s first drop is because Arrow designed the final helix too intense and if there were no trims, it would pull 5 G’s
I’ve been to Gilroy gardens so I’ve really been to all cedar fair parks 😎
I'm finally early to a Coaster Studios video, only took me like 5 months
Now we just need a ranking video on all of the cedar fair parks
Taylor you guys missed it but the hold brake on steel venom was being used a few weeks after you guys left the park
I was thinking the same thing. Sad because that's what makes Steel Venom so great.
VALLEYFAIR!!! YAYY!!!
renegade slaps! one of my favorite gci's.
Hi reelcoasters, u have a good yt channel (BTW i'm subscribed)
I last went to Valleyfair! 14 years ago and they have not gotten anything notable since. It was Renegade's opening year and 14 years later there is literally no reason to go back, its not a good enough park to go back to with nothing new. VF, WOF, MIA, and Dorney have been totally neglected for 10+ years. Get your act together Cedar Fair!
Thank you
I’ve waited years for this video big fan!!!
Excalibur looks like the world's biggest backyard coaster.
that would go to the beast tbh
one big science project
I used to go there all the time when I lived in MN! Great park
Wild Thing you make my heart sing!
CONGRATS! CEDAR FAIR ✔️
If you go through a dive loop forwards then backwards is it now an immelmann?
I think it would technically be a Immelmann but it would feel like a sidewinder maybe
Basically
If B&M ever creates a launched floorless coaster, Valleyfair would be a great place to debut it. Excalibur is (shockingly) the park's 3rd tallest coaster, and the park desperately needs a good family thrill coaster just over 100 ft tall.
Hoping Excalibur will be removed for water park relocation and parking expansion so CGA's Flight Deck can be squeezed in behind Mild Thing. And if CP closes its Corkscrew and ships spares to Shakopee, then a Raptor wouldn't be the best fit for the Dinos Alive plot. A launched floorless coaster there could replicate Excalibur's giant figure 8, add a zero-g roll in the middle, and basically finish off as B&M's take on a mine train. Crossing my fingers that CGA's closure means VF might be able to average a new coaster every decade.
Fun Fact Steel Venom is the only one left with the hold break. Also Excalibur maybe on the chopping block. It's been theorized that it get removed due to them possibly wanting to expand the water park.
The kid in yellow at 0:37 🤣
Sarah’s happy dance. 😎
Loved watching your video! ☺ so glad you enjoyed our park ❤ I work in admissions there so it was funny to see my coworker in the video 😅😅😅 definitely giving you a sub!!!
“Whoopdi doopdi doo, enjoy your ride on the corkkscrew, woohhhoo!”
9:06 wow they look so happy
praying they add an rmc
I actually lost it at the dispatch operator on renegade, he sounded so done with the slogan he was given
You mean excalibur? They always sound like that. It's part of that ride's meme status honestly - nobody really cares about it, nobody is excited to ride it, but it's there. They usually sound even more bored
I’m really happy you enjoyed Valleyfair! I’m hoping to go back there sometime this summer.
TAYLOR IT DOESNT COUNT IF YOY HAVENT BEEN TO GILROY GARDENS!!! It’s the best park in the world fr
That one slide looks like so much fun
Home park! It’s a good park for Minnesota when our other close option is Mt. Olympus lol. Did you try wild thing in the middle? That’s where you get the most air time on that one. I wish we would get something new! Glad you enjoyed the park ☺️
If you ever go back make sure to ride renegade at night because they turn off the lights in that area.
I have never had a bad experience at Michigans adventure, but last time I went I was 12 and I went there 8 times in my life. Probably because I was a kid.
I wonder what park will be next. Any revisits near by. Have your friends been to Adventureland yet.
Ride Wild Thing in the back. OMG IT IS THE BEST I rode it In the back and you got A LOT OF AIRTIME. I’ve only been to Valley Fair 1 time and so far Wild Thing is indeed my favorite ride there.
We just got home from Carowinds about an hour ago and they run their wild mouse the same way - only one car on the track at a time. If I had noticed that before we had already gotten about 1/3rd of the way into the line, I probably would of skipped it (and damn the credit). I think it might be a Cedar Fair thing (just like the seatbelts on their B&Ms).
My memories of Wild Thing are great...it was one of my favorites back in the early 2000s. IDK if they're trimming it now, or if it's just that the bar has been raised so high now with newer, more extreme rides.
Anyway, Vallyfair is a nice park. It's not a destination park, but I always try to hit it when I'm in Minneapolis (I'm in Milwaukee, so it's not too far).
my home park!!!!
Didn't realize you were visiting the park, it's too bad you didn't come during grand carnivale. I'm currently working in the front near where the parade route is and it's looking like an exciting event. Appears as though you may have missed the holding break on Venom working unfortunately. Glad to hear that you enjoyed Renegade. You'll have to plan a visit again once we get that new coaster... lol jk despite having dinos removed recently they still haven't announced anything.🤞
Was the holding brake running on SteelVenom when this was filmed? They just got it operational again for the first time this season last week.
it was not unfortunately
I literally waited 40 mins for that Mad Mouse Credit 😭✋
Congrats man! 😎🎢👏🏻
U should go back to Michigans adventure shivering timbers is open again
Its here!!!!!!!!!!!
That moment when a coaster enthusiast skips an arrow wild mouse when they have the best wild mouse coasters 🤣. But yeah awful ops I don't blame Taylor
We. Don’t. Have. Enough. Operators.
@@carlsmith2641 can y'all take some of us at dorney lol we have too much
So what is your coaster credits up to now after visiting Valley Fair?
around 780
This one is definitely on my to-do list, however, I haven't been able to visit a single amusement park in 2 years and I doubt I'll have the opportunity to visit one any time soon, if ever again. There's just nobody left here for me to go on road trips with.
meanwhile I'm more focused on Sugar We're goin' down before the outro. XD
If you go to Knoebels at some point this year, just letting you know that Phoenix seems to really warm up over time. My early morning rides were way slower than my evening rides
