  1. What has happened in our society we have amalgamated what is right for kids with what is right for children. If u need baby bottles and diapers and u have all of this stuff, then u should be in an area that is little children friendly, but if ur daughter has a cup and she is in line for a coaster that has a high capacity, then u tell her she has to throw it away and she can't bring certain things with her in line. I havent read anywhere, that the other rides have this rule. It is only the major coaster with high volume who have this rule, so I still stand with my original statement, if u have small children where you need a lot of stuff that is gonna hold up the line because you have to go over to the other side and put stuff in bins and get caught up in the hustle and hold up my time at the park then stay off of certain rides with this rule. I was at Universal Studios a couple of years ago and no park like SF has the crowd that they do and the lines moved continously and when I got to the loading station they were telling people to step quickly to the otherside and sit down. This was on Jurassic Park and the line was so long that I got on in 1 hr but if it were a coaster at SF then the same amount of people would have taken twice as long because people with all this stuff have to walk through the train and secure their items. there is no reason why a train cant almost be ready dispatch by the time the other train has reached the top of the lift. I have seen it done at Cedar Point.

  2. The person that is directly above the comment stated that they got an all day locker when they went to SFMM. Not to be critical but you discussed that you brought things with you besides your camera, keys and wallet that you took with you personally. What else could you have needed besides that? I dont understand why anyone would need anything past the things that you state you had. Now as far as people with little children have no business in live for X or Riddler anyway so that argument there is squashed. If people with toddlers want to ride they need to pick a day and get a baby sitter to keep the kiddies while they have an ADULT day at the parks.

  3. I went to both parks in 2005. I actually was more impressed with Kings Island than CP. The reason being is I wasnt impressed at all with the coasters. I know that I am going to be blasted but it wasnt all of that to me. It is a big piece of concrete with steel. It all depends on what u r looking for. I like themeing. Kings Island is more of a well rounded park. I am going this year to ride S OF THE BEAST. Now I know that everyone says it terrible but it is something i want to do before it is torn down. None of the coasters at KI are gonna make u jump up and shout but u will have a better time if u are like me. I liked Alphengeist much better than Raptor and Maverick does look like something i would ride but i am not a big inversion person. I like hills and airtime more than going upside down.

     

    From Columbus u can darn near walk to KI but it is almost 4 hrs to CP. If Maverick is that important to u then go there by all means but if it isnt then KI would be ok. Now I am not the impressed with KI either but I had a better time there.

  4. For some reason I have never wanted to visit this park. I was in atlanta on business and I never even considered going there because they didnt have enough hypercoasters, but it is really a beautiful park from what I can see. Goliath really looks good but it is hard for me to go to a park for one ride. The other coasters looks like a clone from some ride at another park I have been to. Like the Georgia Cyclone is a replica of the Texas Cyclone, The Standup coaster looks like the stand up and Astroworld, the Ninja looks like the viper at SFMM only smaller, the superman is the the same as Great Adventure, Batman is just the SAME, but it does look like a very beautiful park, acutally the most beautiful one in the SF chain.

  5. I dont see a problem. There is too much time spent on people trying to leave their belongings on the other side and come and re enter the train. this will speed things up if they go ahead and open the gates as soon as people exit. sit down in the train immeidiatley and RUN and check the bars and dispatch. This should take no longer than 80 secs. So the removal of people going to the other side to secure items is a good idea no matter if it is about money ro not.
