Had Cinnamon bread at 100% of HFE properties that offer it. 100% of B&M dive coasters in the Americas. 100% of wing coasters in North America (until Thunderbird.) 100% of Giga Coasters in North America (until next year.)

MARCEL! I'll have to visit you again before you head back across the pond! I'm running out of time. Hope you have enjoyed your summer in the states so far! -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
DougMJr replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Maybe they didn't need to do anything about it because ridership couldn't justify changing it... Maybe B&M wouldn't accommodate the change until recently... Maybe, just maybe, CP was too busy adding other capital investments, and it didn't make financial sense to add it until this year... So, yes. You can say they listened and did something about it. -

I can't tell if your complaining about the groping, or not... I'm going to go with not! -
1) Iron Rattler (missed out after NTAG ejection) 2) NTAG (same as above). 3) Helix (I'm on the wrong Continent) 4) Olympia Looping (same as above)

I think it is quite ok to take realistic guesses about what future investment could be made to the land vacated by Cuda Falls, as long as it does not dominate the entirety of this thread. It looks like Wallenda will be doing his next televised walk for Discovery Channel in Chicago in the fall after his residency at Darien Lake. I for one am looking forward to his show as I really enjoyed the Cirque show a few years back.

My thoughts are with the victim and the family, here's hoping for a full recovery. It was only a matter of time before something happened at this park. Don't get me wrong, we managed to have a great time while we were there, but it was apparent that their safety efforts were lacking. Hopefully that this man, and his family, will be appropriately compensated. Maybe we will see some safety improvements for this upcoming season.

My only stand-up credits have been Mantis and Shockwave, both I found OK. Shockwave was rough, but tolerable. Mantis actually seemed like a lot of fun! In fact, I would choose Mantis over GateKeeper, believe it or not.

Ok, here is my humble $0.02. Fast Lane is a luxury, a luxury I often choose to buy. When I choose not to purchase it, and consequently wait in lines, do I get angry with those who did purchase fast lane? Of course not! I get mad at MYSELF for not forking up the money! Fast Lane, Fast Pass, Quick Queue, ect are great products, plus they are money makers for the parks. I hope I'm not surprising anyone with the fact that businesses exist to make a profit. Feel free to disagree with me, but I love Fast Lane and similar products. -

I can't wait to get back to Las Vegas to try this out. Chances are it will be my first El Loco. -
What type of enthusiast are you?

I would say I am a mix between a Coaster Rider and a Coaster Whore who dabbles in Coaster Creation. -

Put me in the camp that thinks the "LOL" was a nice touch. Nothing wrong with the park having a little fun! -

Photo TR: Andy's Texas/Midwest TPR Tour
DougMJr replied to The Great Zo's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Once again amazing job on the Trip Report Andy! Makes me really sad that I am not doing a TPR tour this year. I'm so glad you were there to document what has easily been the best 12 days of my life.
