ASK WALDAMEER A QUESTIONThis is a forum exclusive!You have the chance to ask the president of Waldameer a question in an upcoming interview we will be conducting! Post your question(s) and I will select the best to be featured in the interview. Please try to keep it semi-focused on the coasters. Park questions are okay but realize that most of the questions that I pick will have to be about the Ravine Flyer II. Here's Ravine Flyer II on RCDB: rcdb.com/id3917.htmand go!

Wow! Coaster101 gets so many exclusive things...
I have one for him:
Do you have a goal on how much there is to get done in a day or do you construct until it's dark or the weather is too harsh?

Why did you go with the two-bench PTCs instead of the single-benches?
Why did you go with the Gravity Group for RF2 as opposed to another wooden coaster designer?
What kind of challenges had to be overcome to allow RF2 to travel over the highway?
Why did you go with a 90 degree bank on RF2? Many enthusiasts have considered these to be pointless and to put excessive wear on the track and trains, was this a concern?
Will the tunnels be above-ground tunnels or do you plan on making them underground?
Ill have more later.

This is really cool! Especially with Ravine Flyer II opening this year!
Here is my only question:
What made you consider the Gravity Group as the creator of the Ravine Flyer II? Why not go with another company with more expierence such as Great Coasters International? .

Some enthusiasts are afraid of this being a "$6,000,000 coaster with a $4,000,000 bridge." How much was the bridge in comparison to the total product?
Was an under-the-highway tunnel ever considered for the coaster? Or was the focus always on the highway crossover?

These are all great questions! Keep them coming! I'll be picking around 8.

I have two more, less RF2 focused this time.
How do you expect RF2 to affect your attendance?
Is this the start of a multi-phase expansion plan for the park?

With the new coaster opening up, dose Waldameer have any plans to host and enthusiast event in the near future?
