Just FYI...you can buy this on DVD from http://www.wqed.org/genl/shop/video1.shtml You can pick it up on eBay cheaper though for about $15 with shipping. The DVD has an extra hour of additional material includes old commercials, black & white movies, and stuff that didn't fit in the original show. The DVD bonus material was worth it for us! -

I understand the "no spitting or throwing rocks off the coaster" but "no missiles?" Don't they search for WMDs at the gate????? -
Ghost Lake - Conneaut Lake TR
Yeti762 replied to Philrad71's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought I read a post on a Conneaut message board that said the park is only getting fifty cents of the $15 ticket price for the haunt (?) I hope that is not true....I would've hoped the park negotiated a better deal than that. -
Hi Big Mike!!! At first I thought this was a joke, but then when I saw the video - WOW! How cool is that!!! So you seemed a little nervous - I'm sure most people would get nervous being on TV. (Although Jay was the guy who should have been nervous in the presence of Big Mike!!! Congrats on the TV appearance!!!

I also thought they would expand the water area next, but these rides are 2 nice additions to the park. -

Cool pics!!! Was this the passholder only day this past Sunday? If so, I'm really going to be kicking myself for NOT going (since the lines were so short!!!) -
If you could get rid of one thing..
Yeti762 replied to maeryk's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I second (or third, fourth, etc) the paying for parking. I think the original thought was to charge to park to pay for the lot (same as a toll road or bridge), and then get rid of the toll once it was paid for. But the amusement parks and stadiums have just taken it TOO far, I mean $12 or $15 to park for 1 day, come on!!!! I also agree with the employees standing around or texting on their phones, guests don't want to see that. -
Mark's Postcard Paradise
Yeti762 replied to thrillerman1's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
This is a great idea!!! I buy postcards at every park I can since they are cheap and easily transportable. (although this also means we have about 3-4 plastic bins full of them now!!!LOL!) -
Head Rush and Greyouts - Getting Old?
Yeti762 replied to brianwolters's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have always greyed out on any ride with a double loop (going into the 2nd loop) ever since I was a kid. Corkscrews and B&M's are fine, I just can't take Arrow or Schwartzkoff double loops. I just chalk it up to me, and that my body has a problem with that style of ride. But I'll still always ride once for the credit! -
Why are parks going for the new B&M trains?
Yeti762 replied to tigerlaw's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
From someone who has ridden Behemoth, we LOVED the new seat design!!! While we are normally "front" seat riders, we were able to ride the 2nd seat, and it gave EXACTLY the same experience as the front seat(without the long wait). Even when we hopped in a 3rd/4th seat, the open design was much more enjoyable. It does not reduce capacity by half. According to RCDB, the capacity for Behemoth is 32 riders per train, while Apollo's Chariot is 36 riders per train - a reduction of 4 riders. I think this is a small price to pay for a much better ride experience overall, IMHO. -
