Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Schotcher replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Just making sure I was clear. The airtime isn't noticeable (Mostly because you're locked in snug against the harness.) I had to test out the theory myself. The first time I rode, I thought, "Wow my arms are tired." And then I realized I was pulling myself down on the hill. My legs really hurt too, so I rode it again, but this time wasn't going to pull myself down. I eventually did because it hurt my legs so much more than when I pulled down on the harness. But anyway to get back on the track of CP, does Maverick really have a lot of air? Or only on the two airtime hills. -

Erm...airtime hill=airtime? (Airtime hill does not = tophat) It's basic physics. -

It's not floater air, or ejector air, it's just...mega air. -

The airtime hill...not the top hat. -

Maverick? Too much air? At least it's not a full 5 seconds of ejector air. Try KK. Literally, you can't even pull yourself back into the seat on the airtime hill, and even when you pull down with all your might it hurts your legs like hell. -

Still pretty fast to go through an inversion, usually a lot slower, and also when it goes through the curved hill it's picking up a load of speed. -

Doubt they just used computer programs, probably had some manually written calculations in there. If not I will never ride an Intamin ever again. (I'm fine with that anyways ). -

Intamin was an idiot to not double check their calculations before hand. -
The lines for the majority of the rides in the morning are really short. (except for mind eraser, which I'd think most coaster enthusiasts wouldn't mind if the line was long, or even if the damn thing was closed ) The most I've waited for bizarro in the morning (its always my first ride) is 10-15 minutes. Batman is also very short in the morning and even in the afternoon, 10 minutes, tops. The lines are MUCH longer by the end of the day though Yeah, Mind Eraser was 30 minutes for some good ole' brain damage (Had to, I had never ridden an SLC before) and figured out how sketchy the ride is, the side wheels on the train are a good inch away from actually touching the track, and only touch the track if you turn. (Creepy right). Batman's line was good, no longer than 20 minutes, and a good ride, best floorless I've been on. And what's up with Bizarro? As said above, Bizarro never opens on time, but it didn't open till two. I went out and asked an employee about what was going on and she said "We dunno." Idiot employees are almost worst than the GP. The GP really are idiots too, my friend (GP) brought me on ME and Flashback, and he wanted to ride them multiple times. Thank goodness the rest of the group chose not to ride it again.The GP really doesn't know how to distinguish the best ride from the worst.

Got back from Six Flags. I got christened by my first SLC and well, Vekoma coaster (it was horrible). Bizarro was, overrated to say the least. Only good coaster was really Batman: TDK. Coaster count: Pandemonium: 1 (Broke down late in the day) Batman: TDK: 2 (Wasn't working in the morning) Mind Eraser: 1 Flashback: 1 Bizarro: 1 (Overrated) Catwoman's whip: 1 (Epic win) GCG: 1 (Painful)

On SFMM's facebook talking about how Deja Vu is closing: 1 second later Looks like someone has their mind set on GL as the best ride ever. Oh and this: (Still talking about Deja Vu leaving) -

Reading the convo he's probably not. I mean, this is America we're talking about. -

The Bag-Of-Crap Giveaway Thread!
Schotcher replied to ernierocker's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
IVY, "DESIRE", STEEL, BOLT, ILLINOIS, SUBMARINE, and LOGS. Ivy is seeping through the track. The park "desired" a steel coaster but instead got a woodie. Was struck by lightning? The manufacturer also makes submarines. Weaves through log flume area. Next to a clam shack! -
What is the best floorless?
