I hope you have better things on your bucket list than CP.
Way to put down someones opinion You only make yourself look like an a$$. I personally love Cedar Point. After spending most of my life in Southern California, I have learned to love CP and the friendly(unlike SMM) atmosphere provided. Not to mention the amazing coaster collection. It sits in a beautiful setting on Lake Erie and is located in an area where there is so much more to do outside its confines. There is nothing wrong with an enthusiast having CP on their bucket list. Just like there is nothing wrong with "anyone" having "any park" on their list. It personal preference and I think he will love his time at CP. Hopefully he will bless us with a trip report to give us "his" opinion.
Nice picture by the way. You look like a person that would make the sort of post that you did.

After way too much thought!, I would say this is my top5 +1, in no particular order: Millennium Force, Tatsu, Black Mamba, Magnum XL 200, The Beast, and El Toro.
-
I like anything not named Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, or other superhero name that SF will use in the future.

I agree about the park needing new lighting. But I have to disagree with you on thrillseekers only being a small percentage. I doubt that people go to cedarpoint for just the food or shows. The coasters are what put the park on the map.
Take the thrilling coasters out of the park, and I doubt that they would pull much of a crowd.
At least CP would have other thrilling and family attractions to offer if their coaster collection disappeared. Imagine SFMM without their coasters! There would be nothing left! Talk about one-dimensional.

I'm going to have to go with Phoenix at Knoebels! While it has a height of 78ft
Please read the title of this thread. It says, "The Best Woodie under 75 feet Tall." Now read your post lol

I guess it's just me, but I can't understand all the excitement over lightning. I guess I'm just an adrenaline junkie, but yet another year with out a new coaster. HO Hum....
I couldn't agree more. I mean Im glad CP doesn't build short, weak, inexpensive coasters, simply for a record like other parks, but it would be nice to see something new in terms of a coaster.

I am worried about the wheels not fitting between the bolts on the track.
Awesome!!!!

Im thinking the front right side will be far superior to any other seat. Basing this off the first drop.

One of my friend saw this manikin thing reported on CNN yesterday and he freaked out, and asked if I was going to "Rick my life" and ride it.... I spent two hours trying to convince him it was all a stunt for publicity...he still thinks the ride will kill me if I ride it. And he doesn't understand why a company would post this type of thing about their own product if it want true.
Your friend sounds like a sissy Tell him to grow a pair.

thanks for the pics:)

^You know...I actually enjoy a long slow ride up the lift hill. To me its one of the more relaxing/exciting moments at a park. Sometimes I wish MF's lift hill was slower. You get such a great view on the way up. Same could be said for so many other large coasters.
-
WOW! That is some beefy a$$ lift hill truss!
I'll show you a beefy a$$ lift hill.

I would say Mantis when trims are off. If they are on then I'll say RR. Mantis definitely gets too much hate!! I love when people talk about tearing it down! There's always a decent wait for it. A must ride when ever I get a chance to visit CP.
-
I've always found the name Millennium Force to be the coolest. It just seems epic to me.
Couldn't agree more!

^ ^^What these guys said.

^You just supported my point. Kinzel is portrayed, by some including the kid i was responding to, as someone who did bad things in the industry. Not sure why people are celebrating his departure from the business. He did great things and as a thrill ride enthusiast, Im grateful for all he has done for CP and the amusement community.
-
^Sounds like a childish argument. How did Kinzel start anything? He simply wanted to build record breaking coasters and so he did. How other parks, chains, CEO's react has nothing to do with Kinzel. In fact I would say that Kinzel is pure genius because it was his mindset that put CP on the map. Prior to 1989 Im not sure the park was that relevant.

I like the ones at SFMM. Oh wait, they dont have flats!!!

I just want to say that I spent and hour and a half reading through this thread today! What a great read! It's been done numerous times throughout, but I have to say I'm impressed by the material you have provided all of us Shane. If I had to rate TPR's threads, this would be #1 in my book. (Big Mike, I love yours too!)
Robb must be so proud to display your work on his site. Keep it up Shane!

I have never been to Dollywood, but based on reviews, pictures, and videos, it seems like it might be America's Crown Jewel of Amusement Parks. Simply, looks like the perfect park:)
Can't wait for Wild Eagle's finished product! Looking great!
-
There are so many interesting new rides this year. I can't just pic one. I would even throw SFMM's Lex Luther:Drop of Doom into the mix. I could've cared less about Green Lantern, but this will be one thrilling drop ride.
-
I hope this coaster is a winner. SFGAm is a great park that deserves a great new coaster. I look forward to observing the progress of construction.

I'd wait more than 5hrs for Mantis.

^ Fair enough. I apologize. I love TPR and I believe every park should be celebrated, not denigrated.
