Carnage

Personally I just get the cheapest room I can find. Though as long as it's a name brand hotel like Comfort Inn, Travelodge, Super 8,etc etc. Most of the time all you're doing is sleeping, and then hitting the road, so no sense paying for a better room. As long as you're not booking some motel in the middle of nowhere you'll probably be fine. Just try and look up each hotel to check if there's any serious complaints about it.

Hey it was a crime of passion. Easiest 5 years I ever did.

Is Wild Water Kingdom open yet? If so you could go there for some water park action. And you'd skip the crazy crowds at CW. Personally I wouldn't go to CW Victoria Day weekend. Though mostly because I'm always in Cedar Point.

Um you do realize this is reffering to theme park related rumors right? Not rumors about specific people.

Personally an S-bend sounds better then a high speed roll.

^ There's some nice houses, that's about it. To be honest the area goes to hell right as you get away from Cedar Point. Sandusky is a total dive of a city. Whenever I go I'll go into Sandusky to eat, but other then that I stay in my hotel room.

^ Scanned at the turnstiles just like a normal season pass. Looks like Cedar Fair at least did one thing right.

I've tried it. It's too big and I hit half the keys at once. You must not have that problem.

^ Hah! You assume that Dragster will actually be running. But seriously. Ride the rides in whatever order you feel like. Cedar Point is laid out in a straight line. So basically just hit rides in the order you come to them.

Enter in the main gates. 1.Mean Streak 2. Raptor 3. Magnum 4.Wicked Twister 5. Mine Ride 6.Blue Streak 7.Millenium Force 8.Gemini 9.Wild Cat 10.Corkscrew Repeat.

I use my psychic powers.

Nice TR Matt. I look forward to going to IB in August.

Funny, I don't mind DL, but I despised SFSTL. SFSTL probably ranks as one of, if not the worst park I've ever been to. Terrible staff, rude guests, dirty park. Maybe I caught it on a really, really bad day. But I don't really plan on going back to find out.

Looks that way doesn't it? There's two seperate tunnels for each direction of travel. So the traffic going the other way is in a different tunnel. Yeah, too bad I missed you Eric. Some other time hopefully. It was cool to have someone to show me around Chuck. Sure beats being sad and pathetic. Hypersonic would have been a pretty decent ride if not for the tight transitions into the top hat. Would have been much better with a more gradual pull out.

Really? I put Predator in the "please tear it down" category. That ride is just pure pain.

The cost of the media is not what the price of games are based off of. Games cost that much because of the cost that it takes to make the game. Most blockbuster video games take as long, and cost as much to make as a major movie. So that's why you're paying $70 for the game.

First weekend in May means my first chance to make use of my Canada's Wonderland Maxx pass. Though it wouldn't be at Wonderland. I was heading down to West Virginia for Ted's wedding, so the enthusiast in me had to figure out what new parks I could hit on the way. KD was the obvious choice with my Maxx pass and all. ("on the way" loosely includes any park in a six hour radius) It meant ALOT of driving, but well worth it. Even fit in some culture credits in DC. Enough with the quick overview, here's the pics. Finally a light at the end of the tunnel. No time to even think about museums. Maybe next time. Ahh, I see. That's quite alot of firepower. Wonder what it's defending? 40 minutes, 1.3 miles, and two tired feet later ... Why does it seem like it's getting farther away? Again, distance fools me. Figured that doesn't LOOK like a long walk. Wow, a real life protest. I've got that weird feeling that I'm being watched. Distance in DC seemed to be an optical illusion. Seeing all the names in person was kind of chilling. Sure sunk in as I walked by countless names. Nice view. I didn't have much time, but I'm glad I at least spend a bit of time in DC. Lincoln memorial. Washington monument. I love subways. DC's stations were probably the coolest I've ever seen. Being so close to DC, figured I'd take the Metro into DC before driving home on Monday. Even 200+ feet up I can hear those damn breaks. Required photo op. Credit whoring time. Not nearly as painful as my last ride on this type. Fun ride. But I prefer the non-ball buster versions. Canaba in the lead!! No Shockwave today. Closed due to the accident in Japan. Grizzly was good. Better then it's cousin Wild Beast. Rebel Yell. Forwards was decent. Backwards was awesome. Windy day = awesome ride on the flyers. Hurler was alright. Not great, but not bad either. And the loudest break run I've ever heard. Maybe if it wasn't covered in rust ... EXTREME airtime. Maybe too extreme. Don't remember much after the head splitting whiplash on the top hat though. Great forceful launch. I wouldn't be sad if they tore this POS out. Cedar Fair hasn't found any suckers ... I mean buyers yet to take it. Got my Hypersonic credit before it's gone. No drop zone today due to high winds. My helpful tour guide Chuck says I caught it on a good day. Not a single head bang. Even in one of the "what was Arrow thinking?" elements. Surprise of the day was Anaconda being smooth. 3 for 3 on Italian Job. Fun rides, but nothing special IMHO. 2 for 2 on the FoFs now. Really fun ride with no wait. The rest of it though seemed kind of pointless to me though. Good couple launches, followed by an awesome climb. First up was Volcano. It's noon and I'm finally at a totally empty Kings Dominion. Watching the sun rise as I drive. Only 5 more hours of driving to go. I'll just fly to Richmond. I get my first look at wherever the hell I am. Even the moon is still out. Though I was happy to be able to see it, unlike the previous nights fog of death. Ugh, checked in at 1am, checked out at 6am to start driving. Got a head start on the drive to KD. Blue = my hotel, green=where my directions were to,red=where I thought I was going to die in the fog. Photo POV. I really don't like bridges. Especially when they have steel grating for a road deck. The happy couple and plenty of bubbles. I never did figure out how to get the child proof top off the bubbles though. See, coaster geeks can clean up nice. Got skunked from there on out though. #3 was money in the bank for me. Won on my first bet. 4 hours to kill between checkout and the wedding. Only one way to kill some time. 6 hours in, first stop is Wheeling,WV. Borrowed my dad's laptop to prevent boredom. Only a couple hours in and I've managed to hit every bug in PA.

Wanting the park to get better doesn't mean that rumor is true. It's still a business, and right now a $25 million roller coaster is not going to make a difference. This is a rumor that won't go away. Just like that stupid "Wonderland is moving to Woodstock" rumor that I hear about over and over again. I'm just not getting my hopes up, as I'm very doubtful that this rumor has any truth to it.

Plus I wouldn't put much stock in what employees say. They don't know anything more than the average guest.

This rumour is actually quite a few years old. It popped up right around the time Italian Job was built. Italian Job was probably the launched coaster that this rumor centered around. Plus, CW getting more attendance is not what would make Cedar Fair build a big coaster. The park already is the highest attended seasonal park, so it's not like they need an incentive like this to increase attendance.

Didn't look like there was enough people there to make a mess.

The system on TTD is fail safe. The default position is up, they need to apply force to pull the brakes down. So if the ride loses power, the brake fins will always return to the up position.

^^ My parents used to live in Bloomington. I still have family in Indianapolis.

Who's talking about long term testing? We're talking about a small amount of testing. They could probably even test it non-stop for the next few weeks without a problem.
