Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Carnage replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I saw that comment and their responses. (only realized it was yours once you mentioned it here). Only since the construction has begun getting interesting have I started going back to PB to check out the upates. Every time I look at the forums though I realize why I stopped posting there a long time ago, and will never post again. -

What really gets me is when someone posts some random thought, only to get ripped apart by someone saying "we already disprooved that 2 weeks ago". Some people just need to unplug sometimes and get back to the real world. -
How do you actually remember things like that Robb? I'd imagine you meet so many people that it must just all be a blur?

Some of the supports/track/construction are definetly interesting. But I'm trying not to speculate at all. I'll just wait and watch, and eventually they'll announce it. Some of the arguments going on in some forums are just stupid. -
There can't possibly be more then one Joey.

Game: Other members and their special obssesions
Carnage replied to thomas2's topic in Random, Random, Random
Oh Canaba!! Though I don't make up math forumulas, I just "borrow" them. I lack the ability to do anything more then basic math. In fact some of my high school math/science marks were: Grade 10 science:39 Grade 12 Physics:27 Finite:43(final exam scrwed me) Calculus:21 Algebra:17 Go figure that I ended up as a database analyst managing chemistry data. -
Most INTENSE Coaster Moment?
Carnage replied to EuroTre's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
To be honest I didn't notice the pullout being all that intense on Oblivion. Pretzel loops would definetly be up there for me. Goliaths helix is also pretty intense. Two Face at SFA for some reason really felt intense. -

Everything in life can be stated as an equation. Even Murphy's Law(If anything can go wrong it will). ((U+C+I) x (10-S))/20 x A x 1/(1-sin(F/10)) In the calculation, five factors have to be assessed: urgency (U), complexity ©, importance (I), skill (S) and frequency (F) and each given a score between one and nine. A sixth, aggravation (A), was set at 0.7 by the experts after their poll. -

^ I think the poll was right at 20% about. So that means 100% of the straight men are obbsesed with you. -
Melted cheese and sour cream. But I barely ever eat them because I can't seem to keep sour cream from going all moldy. Kind of hard to get anything perishable when you live by yourself.

It turned out that the accused in the trial I was on jury duty for was a student of my fathers. Though I didn't realize this until after I was selected. Seems he took one of my dad's two part courses. He did the first part, and then told my dad he couldn't do the second half due to "something he had to take care of". Didn't mention that the something was a trial for child molestation. I pretty much avoided my dad during the trial as I was under a publication ban. (wasn't supposed to read newspaper articles, watch news reports,etc.).

^^ No maple syrup or lumberjacks. However there was a defense witness who testified how she took the kid out to a tim hortons to talk. Something about them trying to prove that he wasn't abused because he didn't open up to her. Because all teenagers are going to admit that they were molested while sitting in a crowded coffee shop. ^ Our process was similar. I had a mailed interview I had to do, however the questions were pretty basic. We had roughly 200+ people there for a selection of 12 jurors. Before the lawyers made a decision you could give the judge a reason why you should be excluded. Some people were let go, and some were ripped apart by the judge for even coming up with a reason.

At least they ask you questions. In the Canadian system the lawyers have a sheet that lists your name and occupation. They then look at you and say yes or no, no questions asked. It's a pretty random system. You'd figure the lawyers would actually want to know something about the people getting put on the jury. Had they asked me questions maybe I wouldn't have been put on the jury.

Flights aren't nearly as cheap in the US as in Europe, but still affordable. It sounds like you might want to start in eithe Florida or Ohio and drive between them. The midwest and east coast have ALOT of parks. You could easilly spend 2-3 weeks alone doing all of them. But there is basically nothing in between California and the midwest. California does however have a number of decent parks. So really you have alot of options, depending on time, money, and if you want to see anything other then amusement parks,etc.

It's been a long time since I've seen a line like that for Raptor. Though it's been years since I've been to CP in summer. Only spring and fall trips for me now. -

Yeah I realize it wasn't a golden ticket award. I just meant that Cedar Point always seems to have higher rankings just because of it's fanboys.
