Not sure if it's 5 min, but I was just guessing the best case scenario with loading, ride cycle and unload.

That's still only 768 people per hour. For a park like cedarpoint, I could imagine that the line is gonna be long. Now something like feeltheforce posted , would work a lot better for capacity.

Even if she survives, she will probaly have some sort of health problems for the rest of her life. They may at the least, try to get compensated forall her medical bills. I am no law professor though

I found a few missing rides from Darien lake park that are not in the index. The sleigh ride sign The merry go round raging seas ride Merry go round Sleigh ride Raging seas

Sounds like a dinosaur. Not sure I like that name.

I doubt it....My daughter is only 4.

I have no issue with them working there(other than taking a job away from an american), but they should not be placed in a posistion where they need to give safety spiels. That could be a big problem if someone got hurt on the ride. The worst was a few years ago when I actually used to eat the food in the park, was going to the counter service under skyride and trying to order a burger with fries before the laser show started. I got in line, while the rest of my party scoped out a spot for the show. There was still a half hour before the show started, and only 2 people in front of me. I did not get my food until the show was half over. The guy behind the counter did not understand what a burger and fries was, but yet he worked at a stand that sold them? After finally getting someone that spoke english, I was able to place my order. The line grew from a few people in line, to about 20 deep because they were so slow and couldn't understand english.I would have just gave up and walked away, but he had already taken my money, and couldn't get the cash register open. Not only that, but this is a food stand right next to the laser show, and they had no food prepped or ready to handle all the people in the area.

The scariest ride in the world, is being in a car with my girlfriend driving . God, I hope she don't read this thread.

I gave up on this game. When my park gets big, my computer slows way down.

I also noticed that you are missing the ocean motion ride from the cedar point ride index. So here are some pictures... Ride sign

Here is the wave swinger sign at cedar point. They don't have a normal sign, just the rules based sign.

I was at the park yesterday(sunday), and the park was just crazy slammed. Shoot the rapids was down both times that we walked by. They were testing the ride with empty boats, and 1 boat with water dummies. There were a bunch of suits in the station. I was going to do a trip report, but did not take enough pictures due to me forgetting to charge my camera batteries. I will just post the pictures here. One thing we did notice, was that a lot of the employees could not speak english very well. The person working the wave swinger was giving the safety spiel, and we could not understand a word she said. This was the case on a lot of the rides. I am not sure why they have people working on the rides that can't speak english very well. I believe that is a safety issue. Anyways, on with the pictures..... Since the lines for the rides, were too long, we decided to do some shows that we have not seen yet. The snoopy ice show was the first one. I did not care for this show, as it was just boring. They kept showing cartoon clips and had snoopy just kinda skating in circles on the ice. I don't like the name of the show eather...I don't love snoopy, and most in our group did not love him eather. For the TPR sign gallery. Looks like they started working on the new haunt in the back of the park. There was also a lot of halloweekends signes up. As much as I dislike country music, I was forced to watch the show. It actualy was not too bad. The selection of songs was good, and all but 1 of the singers were great. They now have seat belts on the tilt a whirl. Why???. Have people been flying out of them as of late? This is the Helen Keller sign. Usaly when you press the button, it tells you about her....but it was broken. I thought I would get some pictures of ocean motion, since it will probaly be gone next year. It is currently for sale. Even if it is hidden in the corner of the park, it still gets a decent line. Boobs!!!! More boobs!!!! Wave swinger doing it's thing. This is the last picture I took before my battery died.

Thank's for the nice replys. I just got home from cedar point, and I am exausted, so no update today.

Can't wait to go. Are there any extra tickets? I have a friend that is interested in joining. He trid to sign up last night, but lost internet connection.

I got 6 of them.

I forgot to add this old business card from riverland amusement park that used to be in sterling heights Michigan. The park was torn down a few years ago for a strip mall that was never built. The park had a handful of rides like a merry go round, swings, many kiddie rides, a coaster like the kiddie coaster at knobles, mini golf course, ferris wheel, and several other attractions. They used to have a tilt a whirl as well. It was a park you had to rent out, but it was open to the public on select weekends during the summer as well.

A short update today. I have an employiee by-weekly newsletter from last season. Front. Back.

Actually, Amy sent our payments in last night. She sent it thru pay pal. She had to sign up for pay pal in the process. The only problem is that she is not sure if she did it right. There should be 3 of us. Any way of confirming that you received the payment Rob? Next time, I will do it myself...lol

I have not seen any report of this yet, but has anyone heard if the girl is going to be ok?

Yea, most importantly I hope the girl is going to be ok. I hope they fix the problem as well. I have always wanted to try this ride.

I get what she was saying now, I just misunderstood.

Ok...gotcha now. Not sure if that is the case with the dells version or not.

That's what leads me to believe that one of the cables holding the net must have failed.

The one in the dells has the net connected directly to the lift/elevator. The elevator is in the center of the tower unlike the Tivli version. The Tivoli elevator is on one of the towers.

If you watch this video of the tower in question, you can see that the net raises with the elevator. I am not sure how the net could fail, unless one of the cables holding the net snapped. Watch the video here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_znclcHON0
