Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I've had a stapleage incident on Gemini, but other than that, they have a fantastic crew. The same with Raptor. -
Quassy - FujiQ Of The West
CorkscrewFoley replied to megamatt's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I can remember going to Cedar point back in '97 with my cousin Len and my brother. The weather called for rain, and when we got there, it began to rain. We went in anyways, rode Raptor, Mantis (busted my stand up cherry on it), Blue Streak, and did the sinny (cinema) while we were there. That was all we did before the park closed because of the rain, and I believe I heard tornado warning. But while we were there, we had a great time, thus making the most of it. So to the poster, make the most of it, no matter what, as well as what Robb said. -
Better Theming or More Track
CorkscrewFoley replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I thought at first this was a dig at Cedar Point, would have been some great cheek. Anyways, after Disney, more than ever, I'm going to happily roost on the fence and say both. -

Maybe a Mintamin Lego Mite with a reverser track? lol -
Photo TR: A Jiggidy Mid-America Adventure
CorkscrewFoley replied to Erik Johnson's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Erik, what a fantastic TR/pics of all the parks, the City Museum, and the Arch. The slides remind me of a museum a friend of mine went to when she was still living in Newcastle. They had these enormous slides you could go down. The attraction is gone now, but I'm hoping someone from the Brit Crew knows what I'm talking about. -
What Do You Think Of Morgan
CorkscrewFoley replied to coasterfreaksrttd's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
^What Chris said. Phantom is my only Morgan, and I think now more than ever can be considered a Morgan since the last of the Arrow track is gone, or at least with the swooping drop to the apex of the second hill. -
Coolest station you've seen
CorkscrewFoley replied to Eric_Smith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The one I really liked was Black Hole at Alton. It had the whole Jules Verne/Tardis thing going on. http://www.rcdb.com/ig799.htm?picture=3 -
I had had planned to make Everest my 50th, as firehawk, erm...X Flight at the time was my 25th, and I wanted the quarter mark to be Vekoma...don't ask me why. Well, the summer before the trip to Florida, i trolled around Essex county with a friend of mine going for credits, so Everest could be the 50th when the time came. the plan worked, except I forgot on my second ride on Space mountain that it was two creds (I count gemini as two as well), and SM ended up being my 50th. I got a bonus credit too at KW for riding Lil' Phantom with another enthusiast, and not needing a kid to ride.

Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
CorkscrewFoley replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I think they would listen AND read if all the signs and facts were written in texting 'English' and I use that word 'looosely.' -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said
CorkscrewFoley replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Yeah, I have heard this before too. I once was at a telemarketing job, and my boss asked all of us what we were into, and I said roller coasters. He asked me what was the best park I have been to, and I told him that I love Kennywood--thus going on about Phantom. However, because Cedar Point's coaster count nearly tripled KW, he said he would rather go there instead of KW. I get that mentality alot here with Cedar Point being so close. -

Kings Dominion (KD) Discussion Thread
CorkscrewFoley replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
You have to remember though that things have changed in regards to Millie's construction and KD's. I'd imagine the new giga's footers might be different. -
