Lone Wanderer

The woodies at Kennywood, never had I hurt so much!

Loving those semi-goofy swamp creatures!

Perhaps I should've named the thread differently.

But on Thunderhead I didn't feel unsafe or like I was unsecured. Gemini which is older than Magnum and has similar trains to Magnum felt much more secure.

Z-Force and Mean Streak, two of most notoriously rough rides for coaster in the modern era!

^I don't trust 1920's to 1950's level engineering for safety.

The seat I sat in on Magnum XL had a large diamond plate box ramming my left foot up. Was it for wheels or something?

I went to Cedar Point two days ago and I have a question about the restraints/seats, am I supposed to be nearly standing up on Blue Streak and Magnum XL when I drop down the hills? I've never had these problems at other parks! Mean Streak tried to knock me out, but at least it wasn't throwing me off like the previously mentioned rides! The only thing I can think of for the problem is I sat in a shitty car with less legroom than normal, or the rides need new restraints.

I was in line for Mantis two days ago and apparently a train was launched with malfunctioning restraints or people who couldn't get in properly. They stopped it halfway up the lift and had employees walk up, a little girl behind me said "they wear gonna fly out because they didn't buckle their seatbelts!" A teenage couple apparently were debating over whether or not to remove the the girlfriends rather sharp earrings, but the girl left them in!

Is it typical for Gemini, Magnum XL-200 and Corkscrew to have less than 10 minute lines around 3:00 to 5:00. Also does anybody know what the problems were with Raptor and Mantis on Aug. 7th?

They need to fix the uncomfortable trains/seats first before building new ones. That being said, Mantis is the only decent stand-up I've ridden. Shockwave and King Cobra were crap...

Would Expedition Everest with all effects working be considered a credit?

Corkscrew at Cedar Point, getting my father onto the ride was an ordeal!

Wilderness Lodge stayed there on my first trip to DisneyWorld in 1995. Also it's the only "official" Disney hotel I've stayed at in all of my 6 trips.

I missed Distaster Transport by 6 days...so bummed, I only rode it once in 2007. RIP you funky, malfunctioning masterpiece!

Had my first "denial" two days ago at Cedar Point on Wicked Twister , I'm a bit short and trying to get up into the seats without pinching the hell out of my nuts is hard. I got in and put the shoulder-restraints down and was trying to reach the seatbelt when a employee comes up and says, "you won't be able to ride". She barely even made an attempt to buckle the belt, I waited less than 10 minutes to ride so I just bailed without arguing.
