Even when Leap The Dips was operating, every time I'd go through that area it was closed on weekdays :/ Really hope it opens up again.

I drove past Altoona when I was moving from NJ to Indianapolis. Didn’t wanna take the detour on what was already a 10 hour drive just for it to not be running, and now that it’s SBNO I wish I had taken the risk.

Wow, I didn't really know how many of these I have been on. Big Dipper at Geauga Lake (RIP) was my first roller coaster. Been to Kennywood multiple times. Unfortunately, the one chance I had to ride Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake, I decided not to go and I very much regret that now.
