Well, MisterP, I have had the chance to ride this attraction and I side with your findings as well. For all the hype, all of the fanfare, this ride falls WAY short. Even if it wasn't hyped, it would be a third tier attraction. Some of the details are typical of Disney, and the unique animatronics are a plus. The issue comes in where the storyline is lacking combined with the lackluster overall experience. Mind you, I did not expect a HUGE thrill from the coaster, knowing it was meant for kiddos. However, even as a young family ride, this falls short. Better than Barn Stormer, but the young family winner is still Toy Story at HS. At least I got a credit and saw some dwarves.

If you agree that a commitment ceremony should be counted in the contest, please tweet @TonyClarkCP and @CedarPoint to ask for equal rights in their wedding contest. I'm not asking for a legal marriage, just to be allowed to at least be considered for the contest with a commitment ceremony. Nothing more, nothing less. Thank you for your support!

Would I love to be "legally" married in Ohio? Absolutely. But, I'm realistic and know that is not legal as of this contest. However, a commitment ceremony is certainly possible and should be eligible for this contest. Plus, Cedar Fair should rightfully stand in support of the LGBT community given how many LGBT employees they have. What does the law have to do with lifetime commitments? We could still participate without it being legally binding, because it would be binding to us. It would be our commitment made to each other for our lives, in a place that is very special to us both, which is more important than what a piece of paper says. By taking this stance, Cedar Fair is harming their image to a great deal of people as the support for same-sex marriage increases. I sincerely hope they allow Scott and I to take part in a commitment ceremony at the place we both adore so very much.

Greetings friends! Cedar Point is holding a contest (http://bit.ly/13KLWtI) for couples to be married at the park on 9/13. My fiancé Scott (@KeniScott) would love to be selected, but Tony Clark (@TonyClarkCP) has refused to accept our submission due to Ohio's stance against same-sex marriage. We both adore CP and our time shared at that magical place. Being married there (even if just a commitment ceremony) would mean the world to us. I love it so much, I even featured many photos of us at the park in a website I created as an anniversary present for Scott: LuvHubster.com | The Photo Love Story of Scott & Eric. Please tweet @TonyClarkCP and @CedarPoint to ask for equal rights in their wedding contest. My Twitter handle is @ericjmorrison. Thank you so very much!

Can anyone come up with a reasonable explanation why the Sandusky Register wouldn't publish the actual memo or engineering schematic drawings? That is the part that makes it seem like a marketing strategy by CP.

This appeared in the article... I asked the barista at Starbucks in Sandusky to text me the layout photo. She came through! So, what is the general consensus from people who have experienced these wing coasters? I hear of painful restraints, is that right? On a side note, We all witnessed something remarkable today: Cedar Point's phenomenal marketing system at work! TONS of buzz over the new coaster, way more than if it came from them in August. Why wait?
