The Brits are really good at marketing. However, some stunts they pulled in the past may have been too much (I.e. The Swarm). -
Weirdest Things The 'GP' Have Said

People said that for 2010 Holiday World was supposed to get Valentines Day as well as a Heartbreaker steel roller coaster. And then the next year they thought they were gonna get Easter too! -
Unique Coaster Elements

The Voyage's underground triple down is unique. It also happens to be my favorite part of the ride -

Are you sure? I'm willing to bet that Mondail cut them a VERY good deal to take a chance on building something like that, and buying FOUR of them in one go. I am absolutely CERTAIN though, if Cedar Fair wasn't happy with the product, they would NOT have purchased the other two. While the ride doesn't do much for me, to be honest, I do know people who are either so terrified by the height of it, they won't get on it, and I also know others who freaked out so much on the ride, they literally cried! (sorry, "wept") I see what you mean. Im sure they got a buy one get three deal The ride is sort of a bipolar reaction ride. On one hand you have the people who are deathly terrified the entire time, while on the other you have the people saying "biggest waste of 5 million ever." -

Not sure if you'll be able to see through the Mayflies either -

I vote for a 500 ft tall 150 mph ultra coaster for 2014! -

If you do get the chance, head to CP. Best location since it's right next to the water. -

It's pretty pathetic that all of them (except Kings Island) have had major problems. It wasn't exactly a bright corporate move to build 4 prototypes of a ride never used before, all of them delayed, and then proceed to build two more. I'm just saying Funtime was the better choice then Monodial (which I had never heard of before they announced Windseeker). Sometimes prototypes can be a flop :/ -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

What do you expect, it's not an Intamin. So it is actually going to be a thing called "open". It's nothing to do with down time, it just has an astronomically higher capacity. That's why there's never a line. Operations are very smooth and quick on Magnum. Plus many days, Millie only runs two trains. -

I was anticipating the 400 ft star flyer that was originally in the plans till they suddenly switched to Monodial. Disappointed that it got dropped down to 300 instead :/ Like I said, it's a low thrill ride and isn't anything else. That being said, I never go on Windseeker if it's not a walk-on. -

Gatekeeper will, no doubt have a longer line than MF and TTD, but I'm just wondering what happens in 2014 and beyond. -

That's what is concerning me. People went to Knotts recently and hardly any activity was going on. Hopefully they are ready for Feb. 1 -

Sounds like it. I would take it as a sign. -

I honestly find the ride butter-smooth. Other than the final helix, it's a very enjoyable ride.
