i knew the flying scooters would be a problem for Cedar Point.The park just gets too many people.Its one of my favorite rides to ride at any park,But its not good for large amounts of people.No snapping whats the point? -

Ok I was harsh,(I'm bitter because)We had one day together as a family(We get to do it one time a year) It cost them a lot of money to do it.Time,gas,time off work. It was a very hot day! One train,Long wait. I talked them into KD.I was embarrassed at the way they performed! One of the worst days at a park I've EVER had!(Been to SFA) To hear that it is a rule that they only run one train during the week lets me know they are small minded,When they should be reaching for the stars!!!! Still to much Paramount in this Cedar Fair park! For the record I would pour water,peeing is rude! They could be better than they choose to be. My bad it looks like next year Hershey park .I'm no longer allowed to vote.Sorry to my family who spent a lot of money to have a bad day!KD you could be better and you should be! -

This is why KD will always be on the porch.They had a chance to run with the big dogs they chose not to.I was not there last year for the TPR event when people booed,But I would have! Not for the trims on 305,But for the AWFUL service they provide! They make a lot of money to suck as bad as they suck!!!!!You build the third giga coaster in the world,And you still get beat by BGE? I hope Matt Ouimet comes in and fires all of them! OK park ,management I would not pee on them if they were on fire!!!They suck when it comes to service,I can't understand how they still have jobs. -

Go to each park with a kid that is 42" tall,And you will have more fun at BGW. Go with a kid 54" you will have more fun at KD. -

Oh I forgot Va discovered it has a beach! lol When we went to BG Sunday It reminded me a lot of what KD used to be!Look at what KD had before 1995 ,It wasn't off the charts,But it was all about family! All about stuff for family's to do together!My Mom does not like rides,But she enjoyed the shows and the safari,The train ride,Oh and good food! KD has not sniffed any of those things in years. I could get my Mom to BG,But she is done with KD:( -

If Paramount had never owned KD this would not be a debate! Under Taft KD offered a lot more for family's.Paramount stole that,And it will take a long time to get it back.BG did not beat KD in attendance until 1995. BG has never looked back since! -

If I'm going with my friends(or alone),I'm going to Kings Dominion! If I'm going with my family,We are going to Bush Gardens! We were blown out of the water when we went Sunday and realized how many good,intense rides my 42" nephew could do with us! Cedar Point was our favorite place to go each summer.We could not afford it this year,Turns out it was a blessing in disguise. Cedar Fair is good for thrills,But what about family? Of course once my nephew gets to be 54",Peace out Bush!!!!! -

Your Dream Park
cpmill1 replied to coastermaniac's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Millennium Force Big Red 305 (Intimidator) Tpp Thrill Dragster (With a drop like MFand305 along with a much longer layout) El Toro (SFGA) B&M hyper for the kids with a 42" hight requirement. And I would have alot of kiddie rides close to all the coasters,So if anyone in the group needs to watch young ones they dont have to walk too far away. Park name..Suredropsalot! -

Replace chew with like/vote for. Big Red would have been a much better name for 305. Carowinds has Thunder Road (moon shining/Nascar) Intimidatator is a perfect fit. Kings Dominion had a triple crown winning horse grow up within spitting distance of where the park is now . I think VA should honer it's own! No disrespect to "Earnhart"(As if that hard right turn that has been a major problem from the beginning wasn't enough,But he died making a hard right turn!!!! ) But Secretariat grew up in our backyard! -

Thank you. But Id really like to thank CF. In the short time they have owned the park they have made it a park to travel to. Its my home park and I cant say how happy they have made me. I went to Cedar Point right before they bought the PP,And they have more than lived up to what I could have hoped for. -
