Is it even legal to have a coaster that bad?!? My back hurts just looking at those transitions

I think I'm going to have to go with Cedar Point solely because the main draw for me at amusement/theme parks are rollercoasters, the theming is just a bonus if the ride has it.

I think I'm going to have to go with Cedar Fair for this one. I have been to Canada's Wonderland and Cedar Point and I really liked the overall feel of the parks. Six Flags seems to be putting in more thrills but the parks don't appear to be on par with Cedar Fair from what I have heard. I also think that Matt Ouimet will make the chain better overall, in both rides, theming, upkeep and management.

Never got the chance to ride it but I'm not sure if I would have enjoyed it.

This is one of the few boardwalk coasters that I want to ride. This looks like it is a lot of fun!

Wooden Intamin goodness

No Limits 2 is getting me more excited than Christmas I'm not sure which version I'm going to get though.

If someone says Full Throttle and you think YOLO coaster If you see a rollercoaster in a book and you spend 10+ minutes trying to identify it

Leviathan works the same way as Getekeeper, the chain speeds up once the whole train is engaged and moving up the lift.

B&M 4D (unrealistic dream)

^^^I've had No Limits for almost 3 years and I'm still learning new bits of information about the simulator and editor every week. It will take quite a bit of time to learn.

Today I had multiple people at school say that Japan was currently building the worlds tallest roller coaster

Cheetah Hunt- 2011 Verbolten- 2012 Gatekeeper- 2013 If this was counting home parks, Leviathan would also be on the list.

My most in one day was 27 on Leviathan. I hope to increase this number soon.

The capacity issues that the park currently has is mostly due to low capacity coasters (ie. Time Warp/Tomb Raider, SkyRider, Flight Deck, etc.). Leviathan and Behemoth are really the only constant high capacity (1400+/hour) coasters in the park.

On Thursday I visited Cedar Point for the first time. These are my ride reviews (please not that this is all my personal opinion) Maverick- My first ride of the day and I was lucky enough to get front row on the first train of the day thanks to early entry. The first drop gave more airtime than I had anticipated and it pleasantly surprised me. The turns were quick and forceful and the airtime was intense. Later on in the day I had multiple rides in the back row and it seemed to be running faster which greatly improved the ride experience. The ride ops were great also. They made waiting in the station enjoyable. My new #1 coaster! Millennium Force- I actually enjoyed Millennium Force a lot more than I thought I would except I was a bit disappointed with the fist drop. I think the first drop on Leviathan is better but Millennium Force is the better overall ride. It never let up it's speed even into the brakes unlike Leviathan which goes quite slow at some points. I was only able to get 1 ride but it was a good one. Top Thrill Dragster- A short but awesome ride. I wasn't expecting the launch to be as forceful as it was. I did notice that it seemed to slow down slightly near the end (there might be trim brakes there but I'm not sure). I didn’t really notice being up 400+ feet in the air but the view that I did get a glimpse of was amazing. There really isn't much to this coaster but the launch makes up for it. Corkscrew- I didn't really enjoy this ride. The hill right after the lift gave me some of the most uncomfortable airtime I have ever experienced and the transition into the first corkscrew was painful. Raptor- It was much smoother than I had anticipated, I experienced no head banging at all. It was a good, forceful, old-school B&M invert. I enjoyed it much more than Alpengeist and just slightly more than Montu. Blue Streak- This was a pleasant surprise. It was a small but fun coaster with multiple pops of airtime. Defiantly one of the better family coasters that I've been on. Gatekeeper- After reading all of the reviews online, I was curious to see what the ride experience would be like for me. I must say that I was still a bit disappointed with the ride. There was very little force throughout the ride and little airtime on the airtime hill. I noticed that the outside seats rattled a bit and the inside were considerably smoother. I also experienced the tightening of the vest while riding and it was painful but didn't leave bruises partially because I only rode it 3 times. I think it could have been a better ride but I do think that it was a good addition for the park. Magnum XL 200- I thought that this was a decent ride despite the ejector airtime and slightly rough ride. The airtime hills were very different than the smooth B&M hills that I am used to at Canada's Wonderland and were more intense. Woodstock Express: I just wanted the credit but it was a decent ride for younger children. Gemini: I was really disappointed with this coaster. Only the blue side was running but it was a very painful ride, much more painful than I was anticipating. One ride was enough for me. Cedar Creek Mine Train: I was very surprised with this mine ride. I found it to be smooth enough to be fun but with a few bumps to give it a mine train feel. The station theming also improved the ride experience for me. It was a wonderful family ride and I wish I had done one more ride on it. Mean Streak- I had the lowest of expectations going into this one and I came off thinking that it wasn't the worst coaster ever but could be improved. The first drop was rough but I was leaning forward for the rest of the ride and had no problems. There is so much potential for this coaster if it does get an Iron Horse treatment. Mantis- Roughest B&M I've been on. The quick transitions before the mid-course brake run and after the corkscrew don't work well with the standup trains. I didn't really experience any head banging but it was a bumpy ride. Iron Dragon- Smooth ride but it didn't really stand out to me. I think Vortex is better by far. Wicked Twister- I enjoyed this ride. It had forceful launches, quick transitions up the spikes and was a smooth ride. Overall, I enjoyed my day at the park. The employee's were friendly, the food was great and the park was clean. There were also a few breakdowns during the day and it was nice to see the crew at TTD having fun with people in the station when this occurred. Most of the ride crews were very enthusiastic (Maverick, Millennium Force, Gatekeeper) and made the rides have a fun atmosphere. As I was leaving Friday morning, I stopped at the front entrance to take pictures of Gatekeeper. A security guard invited me over to the bottom of Gatekeeper's drop and allowed me to go through the security gate to take more pictures of the ride. It was a nice opportunity and we had a good chat about Gatekeeper and Raptor. I can't wait until I have another chance to come back as it was a wonderful park! Final Ride Count (with FastLane+) : Maverick x5 Millennium Force x1 Top Thrill Dragster x1 Corkscrew x1 Raptor x1 Blue Streak x1 Gatekeeper x3 Magnum XL 200 x1 Woodstock Express x1 Gemini x1 Cedar Creek Mine Train x1 Mean Streak x1 Mantis x1 Iron Dragon x1 Wicked Twister x1 Pictures:

Random question: Does Gemini count as 2 credits or 1?

The only issue i encountered was when I previewed my post. All of the pictures were in reverse order but when I submitted the pictures, they went back in order. Other than that, it was flawless and made uploading pictures easier.

They are missing a wacky worm!

This wasn't a GP comment but a ride op. When I was lining up for Behemoth tonight at Wonderland, the op with the microphone stated: "...We'll see you back here in 6 minutes and 20 seconds. Enjoy your 720 ft drop!" how does this happen?

I'm about 50 minutes away from Canada's Wonderland.

I predict a strata, 19 inversion, 9000 foot long, 148mph wacky worm.

Was there any mention about there being an on-ride photo?
