SO far I haven't visited a park that was TOO bad but the new Nickelodeon Universe is my least favorate. They expect you to pay 250 for an annual pass where you can spend 80 for Valleyfairs 15minutes down the road with better rides. And the themeing clashes so badly. First theres a nicely themed Pepsi Orange streak then across the midway theres a sponge bob themed coaster. And the park operations are bad too. Theres a full switchback thing and absoluply nobody waiting for the rows. It just doesn't make sence. There were two workers there, somebody could have let the people in!

That would be best. The two rides you need at Knott's are Xcl8tr and Ghostrider.. the others should be only if you have time.

Looks kinda like a cedar fair park minus all the fun of a cedar fair park...

Yes many times Have you ever been to a Gameworks?

I went to Moa recently and the construction is not a new coaster... its yet another store... And how come nobody likes Excalibur, its actually kinda fun and if you sit in the back you get airtime on the last hill!

No dont know what that is... have you rode a ride in the last 24 hours?

No never been there its just notorious for that.

A malfunction on a Vekoma model? No wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

No. Do you play Wii often?

Im not new to TPR but I am rather new to the forum... I live in Northern Michigan and I was born in Denver so I guess my home park would be Elitches but the nearest park to me is Miadvenutre... yea im abused. I've Been on a whoppin 55 coasters!!!!!!!! I hope to travel when I get older and expand that...

Thats an awfuly big parking lot. SFKK needs to invest and buy some land and build a floorless coaster! Great TR

Well considering you chose the two parks notorious for their bad operations, I would say know.

How did you guys do that? I demand to know!

Well, for we both have full time jobs. Two, we really don't spend any money on ANYTHING else but doing our trips. Seriously, almost all of our 'disposable' income gets put into the savings account and put towards our trips. People think we bathe in money, but really we are your typical average family living off 'middle management' salaries. It's how we spend, or rather don't spend our money that allows us to do these trips. Think about it, we live in a small one bedroom apartment and we don't: - drink - smoke - buy many DVDs - buy many video games - have a home theater system - go to the movies - go to concerts - go to sporting events - have monthly subscriptions to anything - have credit card debt - eat out (in restaurants) much - go over our cell phone minutes - have premium cable/satellite TV channels - don't celebrate holiday's in the traditional fashion (instead of buying b-day, anniversary and xmas gifts for each other, we agree to put that money towards trips) - buy new computers (all our computers were bought used or refurb) - don't have a car payment (If we can't pay cash for a car, we don't buy it) Elissa doesn't: - get her nails done - get hair done - buy jewelry - buy purses - what else am I leaving out that "normal" people do? As much as we would like to do some of those things, we pick and choose things we want to do and trips almost always win out. Our spending budget is very tight and very limited which allows us to do these crazy trips more often. For example, we haven't seen a movie in the movie theater since Shrek 2 and before that is was the original Spider-Man. We assume the average couple sees one movie per month, which for us would be conservatively around $30 for two tickets, drinks, snacks, gas, parking. Cutting out going to the movies saves us about $400 per year which is about equal to a week's worth of hotel stay on a Florida trip. So we have to figure "would we rather sit in a dark room and watch a movie for a couple hours once a month, or spend a week in Florida?" If you see TWO movies a month, then that's airfare to Japan! The only thing we spend any kind of money on, which ties into our trips, is video equipment and the website which the DVD sales help cover the costs, but they don't ever cover all of it. So really, the answer to "where do you get all that money" is simple - we don't spend it on other things. The trips we do are not THAT expensive, especially when you consider that we usually share hotel & car rental costs with other people, look for the cheapest airfare as possible, and we hardly ever buy any souvenirs. (I think I bought ONE T-shirt on the entire Europe trip!) Our goal with the group trips is to make trips that would normally seem "far fetched" to some people as affordable as possible. It may take some savings to do one our group trips, yes, but not as much as I think some people would expect and we hope people get as much value out of them as we do! --Robb "Wishes he had as much money as people seem to think we do!" Alvey With KidTums here, how is all that going to change?

I visited Cedar during august at this time and the crowds weren't bad at all. We visited on a thursday and friday. The longest line posted was 45 for maverick. And even when the lines are long they move pretty fast. I have never been to cedar point and seen them slacking with the lines

Hmmm... I hate it when adults keep telling minors like me how much life is going to suck and how we need to get our act together blahblahblah... Sorry but one day, ONE DAY we will be adults too and we will have to deal with all the crap that you guys do. Shouldnt we get to enjoy our free teenager lifestyle while we still can.

wow thats where the six hour line for gemini found its place

wow that was clever...

Its likely the GCI for worlds of fun as people keep stating but isn't Six Flags Magic Mountain getting a wooden one?

Read his beginning description. It says that the park was dead. I do believe that would mean no...

Well those were the Paramount days, Cedar Fair clearly has different plans for the park. Paramount would have never added Dominater the way CF did.

I know that was my biggest complaint. I don't know what they were thinking but hopefuly by next year everyone will realize that the ride sucks and nobody will want to ride it.

I always thought that this ride kinda defeats the purpous of its existance. Aparently its more of a family oriented coaster but the pre-show would be scary for a young child and a two hour wait for a mouse isn't acceptable. I dunno... good theming, to me, doesn't make up for a lousy ride.

I went there last saturday and the whole queue was full and pouring out into the midway. I waited until you got the the room with the slanted queue and then we left
