This is interesting, Since I've been in Mackinac (Pronouced Mac-uh-NAW, French) City since these events started.

I personally like the videos of robb when he was only doing video editing for like 2-3 years (I.E. Coaster Season 01' & 02') Elissa's editing wasn't to shabby back then either. Wait, what am I saying? Elissa's editing HAS always been better! DUH! Sorry, Robb. Your 20-something wife is sooo better then you.

I live in the city that tested steel for MF and TTD. I saw this track without it's paint before they were on site for CP construction. When it was shipped from Intamin to the US that is. Dragster would have to be down for 1-2 months to replace track, it's opening this year. They would of said otherwise if they were replacing track, I know CP wouldn't pulls this outta their ass if it were true, with the Off season ending at 12 midnight tonight.

I'm in the process of drinking a Coffee flavored Frappuccino, from a 12 bottle variety pac which was bought from Sam's Club. Yum . Frappuccino's rule my world, ever since I tried my first one a month ago!

Well, Here's my ratings (open minded, that is): Blue Streak: B- Well, what can I say about BS? It's classic, I would've loved to ride it before it got headrests and seperate ratching bars. Cedar Creek Mine Ride: D Arrr, no thanks. Nuff' said then done. Corkscrew: C- Well, Arrow and liked it before they added Seatbelts to it! Disaster Transport: varies I have mixed thoughts on DT, no official grade, More like a G rating, Which means Credit, No grade in my school district. Gemini: C+ I have to say, this is a great airtime filled dueler, but Lightning Racer at HP is much, much better. Draggin Iron': C Well, It's the only one I've ridden, shamefully speaking Magnum: B+ This is fun, surely when the trims are off, but it's starting to kill my waist and knees. Mantis: B I had a fairly fun ride on Mantis, it's not too shabby if you ride correctly. I mean, stand to your full height. Millennium Force: C- Well, it's starting to get rough in various spots, not something I like feeling after it's been open for less then a decade. Raptor: A One of my favorite Inverts. Without a Doubt. TTD: B Well, One trick pony. Meh. Wildcat: B Show some lovin' to this Schwarzkopf Machine! Woodstock: A+ A+ only due to, EASY WHORING CREDIT!

And life sucks doesn't it? I've been to Six Flags, Kennywood, and had numerous bad experinces, right.....they say smaller is better, some cases yes and some no.....this case is that CP is a nicely run, but sometimes is overrated. I agree with you but the other parks being run better thing, I do not agree.

And what's funny about that Elissa, is that if you lose, you cannot get a contract from anyone for 2 yrs. It is esomething you sign after you get picked at the auditions by the judges. My brother is a whiz at this stuff and I pretty much believe him, all the way! I really don't watch the show, but this season seems to appeal, no doubt about it!

^well, These are difficult and serious times Lou I understand now, I was jumping to conclusions. That clears it up. Thanks. You can believe in what you all want. I 'm fine with it Chris

Well, there's 4 games. You have to play 1 and 2 first and then watch the movie again, because if you see the movie first, you will not understand it. Just a bit of advice ok? W00T! 250th POST!!!

Local 4 (WDIV) in Detroit said that you had increased chances of getting Heart Attacks after riding Dragster at CP. I think they do this to piss off Thrill Seekers. I think it's hilarious of how bad their attempts to scare us are. I did the poll in the link, will you ride the SwingShot? Me: HELL YES! so, nuff' said.

change mine to an emoticon like this: OR If that does not work, I want "The D'ni Will Consume You" A kiss for anyone knows what Game I'm referring to with the D'ni thing....It's a puzzle/logic game.

And do you realize that the war on Iraq is just for control over the Oil market and that pisses the Insurgents off? Staying there, is not the answer. IMO. Chris

I'm mantis....The ride everyone bitches about hurting their nuts and I'm probably the only one on the boards here that has had a smooth ride on the ol' Mantis EDIT: I put an "r" with Bitches to make it Bitchers....Lmao, Bitchers.... whatever....

No, don't be damn lazy, reinstall the damn game! it's that simple...

Ok, I was wandering around YouTube and I found this funny, yet very random video just in time for the Easter season..... Trust me it's funny as hell..... http://youtube.com/watch?v=KhCmfX_PQ7E :goes off and dies from laughter:

I'll check with my folks, but if I can, good. if not, Have fun.....you'll like CP.... duh....what am i saying!?! I only live 2 1/2hrs from CP, but i only go maybe, 2 or maybe 3 times at most each year and I enjoy it. I'll let you know.....

Interesting.....The guy who started the CP MySpace is appearently 101 yrs old.....

it's odd for me, I had a fairly smooth ride, it was rough in spots, minimal Banging, but mine was oddly strange and smooth.... hmmm......

ummm, WT is reliable, It's just Dragster that's a pain in the A** Every time since i've been to CP from 02' to now, it's been open every time.

UCLA I HATE YOU, GOD DAMN ALL Y'ALL SO.CAL FOLKS!!!! BOO!!!!! (yep, I'm an LSU fan) Just kidding, i don't mean it, UCLA played well, and LSU did too in the end, thanks for giving us a good fight. Good Luck to the remaining 2 and whoever wins.... Congrats and happiness to you!

Or y'all are overreacting about the possibility, let's think about Iraq and not N.Korea right now shall we? and no, KJI isn't an idiot. He's actually 2x smarter then Dubya Bush, for a communist nation that is! I'm neutral on this, no sides for me as of now.....Iraq on the other hand.....hmmm......

Surpising for me, I don't like MF as much you'd think I would since I live 2 1/2 hrs from the park. 1. Magnum 2.Raptor 3.Mantis 4.Blue Streak 5.Millennium 6.Dragster 7. Gemini and the rest are decent, beginning rides except for Meanie's Streak, however that's a complete different story.

^^ maybe because you went in Mid-winter it was bad! I went during the summer and walked on. Same with Speed, Canyon Blaster and High Roller when it operated. I dunno what to suggest. But, if you like it, that's you. I thought it was decent. I got no headbanging while riding this past summer. SPEED was much better though High Roller (Operated) Canyon Blaster: not bad IMO. nice bit of air after teh corkscrews.

Tomatos are actually classified as Fruit, since they have a sweet taste and have alot of seeds like oranges and apples do. in the medival times, Tomatoes were referred as "Love Apples".
