Awesome videos! Funny stuff. Silly question (since I'm new to the site), is that Piers' real voice or is he just putting on an accent because he's drunk in Germany? I love that Ghost Train! I have a soft spot for cheesy carnival dark rides. BTW- I think Robb has a man-crush on Piers -

Great photos! Loving it! It's been a few years since I've been to Cedar Point but they do have some great coasters! As for the shirts that are "getting old", I assume you're talking about The Hangover one? If so, then I'm right there with you. If you're talking about Batman, well that's just silly. Batman is timeless.

I know it all circles the same "mountain" and all the attractions are there. I just remember all the paths intersecting and going in odd directions. I got off track more than once and had to double back. And the family tube slide (which is awesomely long) let's you off in some desolated back corner of the park. It's a small gripe, I know. I just remember getting frustrated with where the heck I was and how to get to the slide I was trying to. I'm sure it would get easier if I went a few more times. I just didn't find it as simple and intuitive as Typhoon. Still haven't done Aquatica. I do want to check it out though.

LOL!!! Nice.

Great report! I love Typhoon Lagoon. Blizzard Beach is great but, if given the choice, I always go with TL. I love the theming (it makes me feel like I'm on Castaway Cay from Disney Cruise Line) and, this sounds weird, but the layout is so much simpler and easy to get around than BB. It's a circle, so you can just pick a spot and start making your way around. There's plenty to do but not so much that you stress out trying to do everything like a checklist. Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy BB (especially the theming) but it just seems busier, crazier, and harder to navigate. And, yeah, the water in that Shark Lagoon is COLD!

I have House of 1000 Corpses sitting at home from Netflix right now so I'm going to check it out this weekend. I'm hoping that I'll like it more than Zombie's Halloween movies. I feel like I will appreciate his style more when it's an original work and not the desecration of a classic like Halloween. I remember reading a review when Zombie's Halloween came out that said something to the effect of "It's obvious that Rob Zombie would rather be remaking The Texas Chainsaw Massacre but, since that was already taken, he had to settle for Halloween." Judging from the movie, that makes perfect sense. And now hearing about House of 1000 Corpses, it seems even more appropriate. Regardless, I'm sure the maze will still be a blast. I watched the Behind the Screams video on the site and it looks cool, I'm very curious as to how they're going to integrate the 3D. I've done plenty of 3D mazes before and I've always found it more distracting than anything. I hope they've cooked up something fresh with this. 2 weeks away!!!

Totally! And some awesome details for the fans like Don't Fear the Reaper playing on the radio, The Thing From Another World on the TV, the Halloween 3 room. So well done! Oh, you don't have to tell me. I totally understand that. But in the case of the hat, I don't even think guests like it. When I used to work down there, they'd get so many complaints from guests! But they spent so much $$$ on it (and at the time planned on tearing down the Chinese Theatre) that they were stuck with the thing. Sorry to get off topic there. Anyway- now I have to rent House of 1000 Corpses so I can appreciate that house. I've been putting it off because I'm not a Rob Zombie fan. It's obvious that you work there, so where are they putting the extra house? (It does make me happy that the houses went up from 4 to 5 this year).
