Me!

That's why you use PayPal to pay for things on CL. If they aren't willing to accept PayPal, then don't buy anything from that seller.

This isn't very considerate to the people who are trying to learn something. If you don't want to pay attention in lecture, don't go.

Buy park tickets on Craigslist. It takes planning and luck, but great deals in the 50% off range aren't that hard to come by.

^Is that from a Mt. Dew commercial?

I wonder who'd be crazy enough to invest in N. Korea. It would be incredibly easy for them to say "the people thank you for the building, you have 4 hours to get the hell out of our country" after the project is complete. As an aside, I actually kinda like this building. It's bizarre.

Can we please get a video of that? Minus waste products, of course.

Did you run into any US Senators in that men's room?

Slow down there ace. With as much as CF has changed their mind lately this name could change. Besides, we've got FLIGHT DECK. What else do we need?

Interesting idea. I'd definitely visit a regional Disney park. Two problems I can see with it: 1) Disney parks are extremely expensive to build. And they might not want to cheapen their image by constructing ersatz versions of their own attractions. 2) They might revisit something like Dick Kinzel's conundrum with Geauga Lake. DLR and WDW are far enough apart and different enough in focus to not eat away at each other's business. But, if you start putting more Disney parks closer to the existing ones, you just might start to cannibalize your own business. Not exactly what they're after considering the magnitude of their investments in Anaheim and Orlando. On the other hand, this could be an opportunity to go after people who either can't afford or don't want to travel to Orlando or Anaheim. It could be an underserved market.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I can't wait to buy my Drop Tower t-shirt. This can't be real. I imagine this is just a placeholder until they figure out a proper Cedar Fairesque name.

Why not? Didn't they put in an offer on Knott's?

I rather enjoy Maverick's first drop, but it's kicked up a notch by the LSMs.

A brilliant accomplishment considering that he's been dead for several years.

It's a sad day for Walter and Claude when their number 1 fan turns to the dark side.

I was thinking the same thing. And as you said, it's nothing against Mitch, or Ted, or Tom Cruise, or the Easter Bunny, or anyone else who wants to participate in the poll. So in order to save my sanity, I just thought of my 10 favorite steelies. They're simply the ones I can remember having the most fun on (this year, last year, or whenever)...nothing more, nothing less. So in the spirit of sharing with the community: (in no particular order) Space Mountain (WDW) Kumba Montu Wildcat (CP) TTD Volcano Hulk DD Nitro Maverick And if the final official poll results don't look something like this, then you're all doing it wrong. Isn't having 30% of your top 10 occupied by Intamin coasters when you're the B&M fanboy "DOING IT WRONG"?

They real good.

5/10

ThankYouVeryMuch.

Post of the year.

But paint would cost money. This is CF we're talking about here.

What about putting text boxes next to each coaster where you can just type a number? This would allow people to use the grouping method. I tried using your app this year, but had to abandon the effort because I group. I can't individually rank all those coasters.

For me it's just a gross waste of capital. Both Cedar Point and Great Adventure could have built 2 far better and more reliable coasters for what they paid for TTD and Ka respectively. Sure record breakers bring in a nice surge of guests. However, in time you won't have the record anymore, but that huge maintenance headache that goes with bleeding edge designs will remain. And in like 10 years or so it's just sad and pathetic (aka Superman: The Escape).

Heresy! Sean Connery > * Heck, Goldfinger alone is better than all the non-Sean Connery Bond films combined.
