^The video is the CDride onride video. As I said a few pages back, the sheer fact that this video was put on the internet was 99.99% likely an employee that failed to fully read the terms of conditions of his or her Non-Disclosure Agreement they signed prior to employment with the park...an employment I'm sure has since been terminated...

See DeJa Vu...

One thing that people are negleting to mention (due to it not being very severe of an issue, but important none the less) was damage the ride itself sustained. Folks. I think its done for the fest of the year at the very least.

The Article just made the 3 o'clock news. just waiting for it to get out of hand...

@Coaster Prince: I think he was trying to present the case that the park for the most part engineers high troughput in their major attractions (yet I can't for the life of me figure out why they bought a 850pph GCI) and a Megalite would go against that...but then again so did Terminator so whatev...

^With one train...trust me...it didn't.

On a completely unrelated note, the poster of this video should fear for their job. This video could not have been purchased as with a situation of this magnatude, the video should not have been able to purchase. How this video ended up on youtube is questionable, but I'm sure heads will roll for it...

Looks like it wont be open for this haunt either...

^^Who's making it an issue? No one's seemed to complain about breakdowns...we've just posted which rides have gone down while we were on them.

Every single ride I've ever operated I haved had break on me while doing a ride through... while @ SFMM: Freefall Ridler's Batman Tatsu while at KBF Xcelerator Bullet

The only ride being mentioned as closed is Dodgem

^^Pretty much your standard wooden coaster lap bar with one par attached to the side of the train.

^I agree, you REALLY have to brace yourself if you ride in row 7. Lucky number my @$$...

@Monsterfan and WFChris... You both make solid points, but in the snese that Great America (for example) has a shorter operating season, it could very well have a higher proportion of profit in corrolation to it's shorter season, verses generating more cash and having higher opertaing costs. GrAm can very well indeed be the most profitable park, yet not bring in the most moeny. This of course is speculatory, however as I previously stated is an educated guess based on actual statistics. How else can you justify corporate spending the most in capital improvements on a park that doesn't make the most money?

Again...MM has a higher per-cap revenue (highest gate admission in the chain, higest prices in park, etc), along with a much longer operating season(virtually all year), and with it being rented out for parties which guarentees a certain amount of revenue in the non-peak season while GrAm is three-feet-deep in snow, Magic Mountain brings in the most cash for the chain despite the fact that Great America and Great Adventure beat it in attendance.

They do. Magic Mountain is the highest cash generator in the chain...

Vekoma is worse. They're both rough as sh*t, but at least Arrow's are always open.

^You know what!? I've never thought of it that way! Other than park admission, you don't really get anything from your annual pass at Knott's. At least I get a news letter from Disney and a 10%discount on merch and food...

A few pictures from last nights event… Kudos on the decorations! We rode Rev first. Rough ride, but bareable… Tatsu was closed when we first got there, but was running after we came back…(around 9) Not being able to ride Tatsu, we headed to Déjà Vu. Misters were added to the station fly through for those who hadn’t noticed… Eduardo’s Grill employees were happy to give us FREE water in designated cups… Just to be a jerk, I stuck a “Thriller” pose… All in all, The Mountain gets a HUGE thumbs up from me. For management to open the park for us for 6 hours, and to open virtually every ride, was outstanding to say the least. The park really has come a long way…and it really did make me feel appreciated as a pass holder, and has made a smart return investment as I plan to continue business with the park…

I marathoned it on X. 7 rides back to back in row seven, not such a great idea. My shoulders are paying for it right now...

I'll be the guy in the brown ninja turtles shirt that says "turtlely awesome". If that's not descriptive enough, there are only like two black guys on this site...and Jarmor lives on the east coast...

Prehaps they could conceive a woodie that dwarfs El Toro...One could dream...

^ & ^^^, for the unteenth time, NO ONE IS SAYING CEDAR POINT IS A BAD PARK!. However with so many other parks that provide more than just alot of coasters that run consistantly, it's hard to say that it's the "best" park out there.

^All the mist did was create an "oh sh*t, I can't see the tunnel" feeling. The same feeling can be created by riding at night.

^Ditto.
