As a Raider fan, yes, I know it IS tough, all I can say is Ouch. So hard to be a Raider fan, yet I will remain faithful.

atem122, very funny!

2+2 = donkey....???

Things that freak me out... - Kids running around with suckers in their mouths. - Spiders - My daughter getting hurt, sometimes this leads me to be way way way over protective.

So THAT is how that is done! Wow, learned a lot. Thanks. I never got a chance to see this, so I found it very interesting to how this was done.

How about a Kidtums compilation video? And maybe for Big Mike a Elissa's Mom compilation.

Do not disagree with this, but I thought the bigger change( for the negative) was when Paramount took over Kings Island. So each unit holder gets 11.50 per, but how many trash cans would this equate to?

Will be sending a card this week, along with a treat for Lucky Dog, who by the way you do not post nearly enough photos of! Got all 3 bases covered then! Hope you and all on TPR have a blessed Christmas.

Method 2 AND 3 for me!

Awww, now you made me blush.... My fave part of the TR is when you used the word "cockles", not sure what this means, but it sounds dirty, which is to say funny.

Probably when I tried to explain how you can tell who built a coaster to non coaster nerd friends of mine.

Thanks, this was very cool. Oh how I miss the days when CP was 'An educational wonderland..." I wish the sky ride still went all the way back to where it used to go.

Hey now, why the Ohio hate????? In that case: Roll Tide! I have gone to this the last several years, and thought the Sat night line up listed today was kind of weak, although I will marathon WT. The behind the scenes stuff looks good, as well as the 2 hours of ERT on MF, will be able to get a lot of rides on that. Sometimes they add a coaster to the list, would make a LOT more sense to have Raptor open for ERT on Sat with Maxair, WT, etc.... And what is with the ERT on Mantis??? No thanks, I like my brain and spine aligned they way both are now....I do not see a big rush for this. At least they are grouping the ERT, would suck to have ERT of like WT, Maverick and Magnum, all walking, little riding. . Of course in my opinion CP needs to have ERT with every coaster open. Last year Friday night did suck, there were shorter lines BEFORE ERT started. But will say one thing, for Cedar Fair, the food at the Friday night thing did not suck, was decent. Having said that, the lunch at Coastermania usually comes with extras, usually a ton of muffleheads in your food. I was trying to eat, after moving from one table to the next about three times, tried to take a bite of potato salad and there was a big un right there. Almost had a reverse gastrointestinal event...

Love this trip report. Your captions are the best. My thinking is that you would be forgiven for the blasphemous statement made about that most wonderful malty, hopsy, barley-y, frosty, alcoholy beverage...whew almost needed some alone time there for a second.. Well anyway, you would be forgiven because you are just so funny and cute. I do agree with someone earlier, whenever posting a photo TR, send the photos to Nat and have her do the captions, even though she will have NO idea what is going on, will still be better than most. over weight coaster dork here, but now I am an OLD overweight coaster dork.......

Info on Coastermania 2010 is up. New this year is "behind the scenes" tours of Maverick and MF on Sat. morning, and 2 hours of ERT on MF, which will be nice. Hopefully will be a warm morning as ERT on Shoot the Rapids is also scheduled for Sat. morning, and for some odd reason, ERT on Mantis on Friday night. Hopefully Big Mike can make it in 2010! http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm

Colts/Saints Super Bowl with both teams would be great. I am SO tired of hearing from the '72 Dolphins.

These are neat to see. Brings back memories of rides at CP and KI that are no longer there. I have such vivid memories of riding the "drunken barrell ride" ( I forgot what KI called it) I have two older brothers so it was always a game of "Lets see if we can make Ken puke" Good times. Right near that was KI's flying Dutchmen.

Daniel Craig

Uconn is undefeated against ND!!! LOL, goodbye charlie.

I must have read the score of the Stanford/USC game. The website I was looking at had the score 55-21 with Stanford winning? Oh and ND, lost, again. I am sure the BCS will still give them a shot at a BCS bowl game. Oh and for the rest of the season, a first down for notre dame will only require 7 yards and the irish will be given 5 or 6 downs to get those 7 yards. Can not really crack on usc too much, the trojans did beat the Bucks. However, one of these two teams is going to the Rose Bowl.

Great trip report. Hopefully you get to go a little farther east next time you visit the US. Come to Ohio and CP and KI!

Oops, thanks for the correction.

To be or not to be? If the world was to suddenly stop spinning, would we all fly forward and hit the windshield?

YES!!! Two years in a row now that the Midshipmen have beaten the hated NOTre dame losing irish!!!! No BCS this year for nd!!!!!! Unless of course the rules change.

What really caught my eye in the article is what was torn down: A TPR trip to this park would have had the BEST trip report. Mmmmm the rides at this park would have been great and just think what the prizes could have been with the games. The food... the uniforms for the staff, the 4D movies, etc. I hate when innovation is stifled like this.
