Christ almighty I had a pathetic 2010 season

Bosco sticks, are you 'effing me? I used to devour those things daily.

Wish I could ride that puppy

Found a new vid on youtube of the offride footage.
Holy crap at 0:49.

This doesn't really involve Rapids but i think that CP's next ride will most likely be a vekoma boomerang.
Ehhh, I would put that chances of this at 0.

everything I have seen, it looks like a big improvement. Don't understand all the hate its getting, IOA needed something new very badly.

see the CP discussion thread

I don't mind getting really wet (though I don't love it either)
My last trip I made to Cedar Point with the rest of my family in 2007 the younger members really wished there was some sort of log ride, because many of the coasters were still a little too intimidating for them at that time.

Very nice - hold the Pg down button and watch the rides in motion

Patriot was smooth, sure, and certainly nice and pleasant and fun. I did not, unfortunately sit in the front, I prefer to take the back than to wait, so maybe I did miss out, I don't know. Nothing bad about it, I just thought it was not as forceful as others.
Timberwolf is not the world's worst coaster. That's not what I'm saying. It just didn't cater to my interests. I thought it was rough to the point of painful, had awkward pacing as in there were flat spots, like those turns, and that one part where it had to be chained up one of the hills. I thought it was too long, too meandering, and overall, nothing to take note of when there is a brand new GCI woodie just a short walk away.
^ And thanks, haha, I'm glad you caught that. It's wonderful to be able to say that in a place where people understand exactly what I'm talking about.
Pretty much agreed on both of these points. Patriot is ok, nothing to write home about. Timberwolf is bad, but not quite god awful.

Haven't been to CP since Maverick's opening and I am going soon. Can someone help me with the best day to go, as far as crowds and wait-times.
I always figure middle of the week but many of you would know better than me.
This might help: http://www.thepointol.com/crowds.html
have fun!
According to that you are basically screwed. (line wise)

Montu when trimless, now THATS an intense B&M!
The Batwing, I would have to agree.

Did not play any games at WoF this year. I can't even remember the last time I played games at an amusement park. Maybe when I was little @ the Adventure Dome in las vegas
What the hell am I supposed to do with a gigantic monkey or a basketball ? Bounce it around and annoy the hell out of people?
Or maybe I am just a cheap ass who doesn't know how to have real fun, dunno.

Thats hilarious, would love to go.

Just called my family, they are going to Dollywood tomorrow. Sucks, I haven't been there since before Thunderhead/M. Mine were built. Really really really wish I could have gotten off of work.

Thanks for the report. I have to admit that Riddlers Revenge was my favorite coaster at MM. It really is a great ride. I also think Viper is underrated.
Agreed on Riddler's, my favorite at MM, but Viper sucks.

100. Manhattan Express
200. Powder Keg
211. Prowler (most recent)

B:TR clones (can I count that as one ride ? )
-
Shockwave cannot hold Mindbender's jock strap.
-
As long as El Toro is open, I'd still go. KK is probably 3-4th best ride in the park IMO

Great Trip Report!
If I may ask a question when did you go? That looked like a rather huge crowd for so early in the season but that may have been for all the downtime you experienced. I'm rather scared I may not get on everything now if the coaster downtime is that bad when I get there. I'll only be there about 2 and a half days and I hope to ride everything at least once and my favorites twice or more. I guess I should just prepare myself for the worst and hope for the best at this point.
Also what are the address's for the Toft's outside the park so I can put them in my GPS and take a visit while I'm there, I love ice cream too!
Again though great trip report, I worry for my poor boyfriend at this point in riding Maverick, I sure hope he survives(joking mostly but we plan on hitting it first and if it's that bad wow what a terrible first coaster but I won't know till I ride it of course) I should be fine but who knows.
2.5 days is plenty of time assuming rides are running the majority of the time. If things are going good @ the park, even on a busy day you can get on most rides. First day Maverick opened in 2007 I still got on pretty much ever ride except 3 coasters (Woodstock, Disaster Transport, Wicked Twister). 2nd day I was there hit everything else, and as you said hit the best rides again.

I have small case of OCD when it comes to locking doors, so if I ever had a job as a ride op I would probably say "check" to myself even if it wasn't required
Woodstock Express has had those stupid seatbelts for a few years now, annoying, but once you get the credit not exactly worth riding again.

I am way late to this discussion - but something like that happening is one of my worst nightmares. (Seriously, I have dreams about that stuff happening all the time, I am a little sick in the head)
