Mother. Of. God. Now, I'm actually excited for our trip later this month.

God, let's hope not.

^First thing I thought about, too. lol So he wasn't talking about the International Race of Champions? Sometimes it's nice just to walk around the park with your coffee. That, and you can snag one of the first few trains of the day one of the coasters that opens with the park.

Google SF, CF, i-rat, SteVen, RMC, WoF, SFFT, I-box, LSM, OTSR, FL+. There are endless acronyms and abbreviations used on this site and in this hobby that probably won't come up on Google. Sorry if I just thought this was another one of those. Sometimes it's easy to tell who has never been punched in the face.

tf is "iROC?" I get it. That's a lot more reasonable.

Lol infuriating? So you can't have just one great roller coaster at the park set up to where it's a little more even between non FL and FL? Deep breath. It's fine.

If I ever told someone I was a "thoosie" I would hope they would have enough dignity to never talk to me again.

The hell is a thoosie? No shit? This project. Still always. And forever. Hilarious to me.

It's not so much bitching about it as it is purely making fun of the park. It's just laughable at this point. One month each horse? Cool. Bring in more people to do the job. Again. This is Six Flags. Relatively no one cares about this grand carousel. At the Smithsonian, people will actually pay attention to it, because they visit to appreciate things like restoration. The juice ain't worth the squeeze at a Walmart theme park.

That's the modern standard, Steve. A church I attended when I was a child was completely refurbished in about 6 months, inside and out. It's massive. Original artwork throughout the huge insanely tall ceilings. Every pew was refinished. The stained glass was repaired. There was remodeling of areas. All of the stonework on the outside was cleaned. New concrete was added to the front. All while we used it. In half the timeline the carousel has taken to be refurbished: -Businesses from the ground up have opened in my town. -A massive park with a, splash pad, and play playground has been a behind my house. -Multiple roller coasters have been constructed -A new fire station was planned and constructed in my town. -I started a new position at work, got fully trained, left that job, started another one, and am already familiar enough with it to be training others. -I've owned four different cars -And I've had four family members die... Oh, and I just learned that the cars are on the track at Indiana Beach for a roller coaster that killed someone, was dismantled, completely refurbished, and reassembled in another country. Wasn't Kentucky Kingdom refurbished in less time, including the construction of a new roller coaster? Lastly, I can imagine the Smithsonian is going to put in a lot more work on their restoration than SFSTL is. Yet, people want to tell me that I should feel unreasonable, just because another carousel is taking a hilarious amount of time to refurbish? Nope. Don't care. Sorry. I've eaten a lot of crow in my life, but I'm not settling for this as a "gotcha" moment.

Nope. Will continue to make fun of the park. It's a Six Flags. No one will care about this. It will be trashed again in less than ten years.

Thanks for the report.

Yeah, outside of the new roller coasters where they probably put the best teams, I don't recall the urgency.

Take note that I'm really trying hard not to get banned.

Holy shit. That looks way better than expected. Well done WoF. Quality POV, as well.

Sounds like my Kennywood experience, years ago.

Actually... In the fall I remember you saying you believed anything was possible. I specifically remember it, because it wasn't like you. lol

Hard pass.

Probably, when you consider it's going to have a larger footprint. CP also wanted to spruce up their new area. Placing something that couldn't essentially fit into a square box would have been more difficult, and probably not do-able without moving a lot of things around. It most definitely would have put a damper on the open feeling they seemed like they went for. Maybe a family group of 3 doesn't want to ride with a stranger to dampen the family experience? It would be a buzz kill for us to have some grown dude wearing a Mystic Timbers shirt and sun glasses straps tagging along, with his souvenir cup full of 1000 calories hidden nearby in a bush. Or, anyone else for that matter. "Hey kids, let's go on this family ride so we have to awkwardly interact with a stranger." This ride jist ain't fer yew, bud. Thems the breaks. Hey look everyone. It's that one guy who's never done your job, but says he can do it better than you! I haven't been reading the comments on any police body camera youtube videos in a while, so I almost forgot they existed.

You've spoiled yourself, bro. Your expectations are too high. You're numb to the experience. Cedar Point wants to maintain its reputation as a destination. All of the things you aren't happy with will contribute to guests leaving more satisfied from a well rounded experience. Or, the park is trash. It's just fucking garbage. These additions are the worst ever. Close the park. Tear it down.

deleted my rant. Take note that I'm really trying hard not to get banned.

It will certainly be a plus for us when it comes to another return trip to Breakers, probably next year.

Totally valid, but all I'm saying is you don't know for sure the new food is garbage. You probably have a better chance at being right than wrong... but still. Occasionally food will surprise you. Also keep in mind, to some people convenience is worth the cost. I'm not so sure the ride will attract families as much as it may leave them with a more fulfilling experience that may bring them back.

I have no idea why in my head I pictured the trees already grown around it like the old Zambezi Zinger. I guess that didn't happen overnight.....

That's about the best list I've seen from a popular publisher for a while. There wasn't like a random Six Flags New England thrown in or anything.
