Why does this website do this to people's posts. I'd actually like to know what was meant to be said. I don't find it funny. I find it immature. I have a sense of humor for things that are actually funny. But fluffy fluffy bunnies and goo are the same things as potty humor. You grow out of that in junior high... Or you should have....

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
rollercoasterbuff replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
It's so funny that I literally came on the site tonight to post about Mean Streak getting an RMC makeover and the last post before this one was also about wicked twister getting an RMC makeover. From what I understand, six flags and RMC are in a 5 year contract? In my opinion, one coaster that could not only use an RMC makeover, but would be absolutely incredible, is Mean Streak. It is a good coaster, it just is so rough its almost hard to enjoy. I remember one of my last rides on it, a woman a few rows ahead of us had a seizure during the ride. When we returned to the station, she was still seizing. Luckily my buddy was a medic and helped them out until the workers on duty showed up. It is just too rough of a ride. RMC I know would work wonders on that coaster, and Cedar Point has such an incredible coaster line up, I doubt they would pass up an opportunity from this new company to transform one of their classics are market it once again as a new and amazing ride! -
Will B&M ever top the charts?
rollercoasterbuff replied to Password121's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I definitely love a good Intamin. And I second what some are saying about skipping over batman clones lol. I do have to say though, I love Banshee. Absolutely love it. It was one of the best coasters I've been on, period. I think B&M hit the nail on the head with that one. I'd like to see more coasters like that from them in the future. -
Name This Theme Park

Santa Cruz beach Boardwalk?! -
I have plans to move to central Florida eventually to be near those parks.... But at the same time, so cal has some great parks and rides, too. I guess it just depends. For example, when Diagonal Alley opened I wanted to get down there, but now that twisted colossus is coming, I want to go there. My choice really just depends on the experience I'm looking to have at that time. There really isn't one destination I would ultimately choose over another.

Sorry to jump off topic for a second, but I wascurious if anyone who has gone to Halloweekends knows about the fright lane and fast lane? Is there a combo available for rides and haunts? And does the platinum pass get you into Halloweekends or do even pass holders have to buy tickets for Halloweekends? -
Ok, So I just saw this thread finally and when I saw the first photo was of the Frank Lloyd Wright house, I got really excited! I live an hour from there. Just went for my first time on Thursday! It is a very cool place. I guess it is in the Smithsonian's list of one of the top 28 places to visit before you die? It's number 27. Well worth it. You've done a really great job constructing something that completely follows the essence of his architecture. Really great job!

If you are with AT&T you should be upgrade eligible now with AT&T next. Next is honestly a much much cheaper way to get your phone and it allows you to upgrade every year of every 18 months. If you can avoid signing a two year contract, I would highly recommend not doing that. Two year contracts are such scams. You end up paying out the @$$ for your phone and service.

If you go to any store that sells the Galaxy Note 3, that's the size of the 6 Plus
-
I didn't want to bring this up, you're right. I know they make women's pockets a lot smaller.

I can understand liking the size of the iPhone 5 and previous versions, the fact is though, consumers want larger phones. Though it may not appeal to some to go bigger, the masses are looking for bigger, bigger, bigger. With the amount of activity people do on their phones, the larger screens do make it easier to navigate different pages and apps. More and more is getting done on mobile devices. Even stores are leaving desktops and laptops alone these days and using mobile POS machines. iPads, iPod touch, etc. The 6 will be still small enough to fit in your pocket, it's the 6 Plus that is going to be harder to fit in a pocket. I think the company made the right move to make two sizes, and both larger. Definitely glad to see NFC capability as well. It will be nice to start using that. Going out will be a lot easier once the payment system is implemented in more places. Grab your ID and your phone and that's all you need. Also will make traveling around theme parks easier, very happy to see they partnered with Disney and will implement the ApplePay system into WDW here soon. As far as the watch goes... I'll buy it. I had the galaxy gear and loved it. I think some of the functions of the watch are unnecessary but also a lot of fun. It has a great look to it, and with so many variations, individuals are bound to find a style that fits them well! The only part of this whole announcement I was disappointed with, was the lack of camera upgrade. I know it has more functions now, but to stay at only 8mp seems a little redundant to me. The picture quality is nice, yes, but if they took that quality, and bumped up the megapixels in the cameras, there would be no competition as far as picture quality goes. The phones clearly have enough space to handle it all! Can't believe the size options are 16GB, 64GB, and 128GB. That is awesome. Still shocked they got rid of the 32GB option. You'd think at this point they'd get away from a 16GB phone and start the introductory level at 32GB the way the phones are lined up now. Cyrus

I'm a little late here, but holy sh*t! This looks amazing. After getting to ride Iron Rattler and New Texas Giant, these RMC creations have snuck up as a favorite. I think what they've collaborated on here is a perfect execution! Now it seems that the layout is shortened a little bit? I don't see as much wood as I remember in the video. Can't wait to check this out next year!

It amazes me for the fact we are all here for our common love of theme parks and roller coasters, yet people don't respect other's opinions, and not to mention the amount of condescending ass holes that live here just when there is a difference in opinion. Just goes to show that in this world, there really will never be a day where people, even with common interests, can coexist without all the drama. What is so hard to grasp that this ride just doesn't do it for some people? My God... And then to be torn down over your opinion!? Do you realize how freaking ignorant you sound!? That's literally the same thing as getting upset that the person in front of you at subway ordered something you don't like. -

If I ever got to the point where I would consider a 325 ft 81 degree 95 mph drop "stale and overdone" and "not packing much of a punch," I would just stop riding roller coasters altogether because I clearly have become the most joyless person on the planet. You guys have to realize the difference between an OPINION and a complaint. Just because there are a lot of people that do complain doesn't immediately mean what I'm saying is a complaint. Don't just assume everyone is in the same category. Not to mention, how dare you then insult me just because we don't share the same opinion. Grow up. -

You're right, however, this just doesn't seem to pack much of a punch. I'm judging the ride as a whole. Nothing about this pops out to me. Just seems stale and over done. -

When I saw the name and stats, I really hoped that I would see an Intamin. Of course it wasn't. In my opinion, this looks fairly disappointing, and after counting only 3 airtime hills... I can't. It seems fun, but i305 still looks a lot better to me.
