Best View From A Lift Hill
takeariisk replied to bubala's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I worked Magnum one summer. It was awesome starting every day with that view from the top of the lift. However, my favorite is Ravine Flyer II. The water looks so blue from the top. -

How would anyone compare it to the airtime pain and pain while sitting on the brake run of Maverick. Is there more defensive riding required or less? -

Kinda disappointed that the ride sounds painful . Looking at the layout, it reminded me a lot of Maverick, but without the defensive riding. It seems that this is not the case. Having to ride defensively really takes away from a ride. -

With the slower lift speed, does anyone think the drop will be better than El Toro? -

Is it just me or does the lift seem slower than it does in the first testing videos? -

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Cedar Point is removing Wildcat before opening day. The reasons were " the expansion to Celebration Plaza, coupled with the low ridership and increased maintenance costs". LINK -
The Rumor / Crazy Idea Superthread
takeariisk replied to Wes's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
The chances of SFMM getting the tallest coaster in the world is about a billion to one. Though I'd love to be proved wrong. I'd bet against those odds in a heartbeat. -

Was it pricey compared to the rest of the food at CF parks, or pricey for fast food hot dogs? -

Here is a photo of the new Pink's under construction. Looks a little bare right now, but the renderings looked great. What is the Pink's like at Knotts? Also, are the prices reasonable like they are at the LA location? -
B&M vs Intamin
takeariisk replied to alpengeistdude321's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I have only been on a few B&Ms (Nitro, B:TR, B:TDK, and Bizarro) but for the most part, (even Nitro), they all bore me. Even Nitro feels like it has no airtime to me. Intamins are way more thrilling, and I love the airtime which i can't find on B&Ms. -
Bizarro's last airtime hills. AMAZING. or El Toro's leap over RT.

How much Faster/Taller can we get?
takeariisk replied to Sir Coaster's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
G-Forces is not a problem at all! if you just make a gentle accelleration, the G-Forces will not be that extreme. I think the problem is in the launching system, they will need to be more durable and strong. Also the tracks needs to be stronger as well as the train and the trainwheels! And i think we are gonna break both the speed, - and height record some day! That's what I meant, because the ride would need to be much larger and gentle because of the G-forces, it would make the rides extremely expensive and impractical. -

The height and speed isn't the problem, it's the G-Forces. Sure they can go taller and faster, but these rides would be much larger and much more expensive. -
A friend and I are thinking about making a trip to Cedar Point during the last week in August. We Plan on leaving Sunday morning, making the 10 hour drive from CT, and going to the park Sunday night, Monday, Tuesday, and then leaving on Wednesday. I have a few questions. 1. Is it worth the drive? 2. Is the breakers express a good deal at 450 for 3 nights and tickets to the park? Or would you recommend staying somewhere else? 3. How will crowds be that week? 4. I am only 19, is there any chance I will trouble getting the hotel room? Thanks
