Geauga Lake Discussion Thread
BarryH replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Actually, they have raised $1,351 since starting their fundraiser in February (on my birthday, no less). So in 9 months, they earned an average of $150 per month. So I calculate they will reach their goal in about 11,000 years! -

Great report! When I had a Sea World AP, you could get a plastic pass for $5. -
Breaking news! The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad show at Islands of Adventure is set to close on September 15, 2018. No word yet on its replacement. I think the time has come for this show to close. It has been getting long in the tooth over the past few years. Check this out: http://themeparkuniversity.com/universal/breaking-eighth-voyage-of-sinbad-closing-at-islands-of-adventure-sep-15-2018/

Geauga Lake Discussion Thread

I would like to see him go on "Shark Tank" to pitch this idea. It would be fun to see the sharks rip him apart. -
Geauga Lake Discussion Thread

I think they should use whatever money they get on a nice documentary film about Geauga Lake. -
With all the roller coasters we ride, I would assume there are some that we have gotten sick or vomited on. I almost vomited when I rode Dueling Dragons once. That morning, my group was staying at the Hard Rock Hotel. We had an idea to go to Dueling Dragons upon rope drop and ride the front row as many times as many times in a row until the crowds came. Before heading to rope drop, we ate at the buffet breakfast. The plates were pretty huge -- they were as big as my head. All of us had at least 3 plates full of food. After eating, we headed to Dueling Dragons and rode the front row as many times as we could. After the 5th or 6th ride, we all felt a little sick. After unloading from Ice Dragon, we all collapsed on the baby swap bench. If we had rode one more time, one of us would have surely vomited. So have any roller coasters made you vomit or made you sick?

If you want to be the first EVER rider, you have to be famous or rich. Parks usually have charity auctions where you can bid to be one of the first riders. Otherwise, if you are going to be with the GP, be sure to be hit by lightning so you can turn into the Flash and run really fast on opening day.

Golden Ticket Awards 2017
BarryH replied to A.J.'s topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The Golden Ticket Awards seem to have similar winners year after year. You could just copy and paste the results from last year and they would be close to this year's. -
"Tiny Planet" - Like them or not?

I find the pictures kind of disorienting. Stick with a tegular lens. -
Favorite attraction never made?
BarryH replied to Themonerd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Westcot The rumored Spaceship Earth: Time Racers was a neat idea, but I know some Disney fans would have cried blasphemy for putting a roller coster into a treasured ride. -

Great photos of all these Japanese parks! I'm surprised Acrobat wasn't called "Flying Coaster." -
Favorite On-Ride and Background Music?
BarryH replied to gerstlaueringvar's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The music for Soarin'. I always seem to hum it as I exit the ride and it sticks in your head all day.
