Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Angle O. Descent replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I found the best way to ride Magnum was to use the "rodeo" method where one hand holds the lapbar up from crushing you and the other hand is high in the air. The airtime on Magnum is insane, that's one of the reasons I think it's better than Millennium. It has been several years since I have been to CP, but I dont remember the lap bar being a problem at all on Magnum. Does it have anything to do with a person's size? I am a tiny scrawny guy, and was even more so then. I rode it in 2004. The key is to sit in the back. The airtime near the back is enjoyable versus painful in the front. Try it -
What makes a park grow?

1. Keep the GP happy. You draw their money. 2. Evolve along with the latest industry standards. This keeps the park fresh. -
Lines At Parks Compared to Cedar Point
Angle O. Descent replied to etr102's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I've been to Cedar Point nine times, and is my favourite park. Every time they've done a fine job with efficiency, especially considering their large collection of attractions. The longest lines have rarely exceeded an hour for me. I'd say you have it pretty good where you are right now. If you're looking to explore, Kennywood is 2ish hours past Cedar Point, and is a real treat if you're into small traditional parks. The longest I've had to wait for Phantom's Revenge or Sky Rocket was 45 mins if that. I recommend it. Good luck! -

Are We A Dying Breed?
Angle O. Descent replied to nhman93's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I only really started getting into roller coasters a year and a half ago... at 30 years old. I'd say that coaster enthusiasts aren't a dying breed at all -
I was on my way to Martin's Fantasy Island, and got turned around at the border for having my friend's stuff in my car. I backtracked, got a campground for a day, set up my tent, emptied my car into it, went back to the border, and got across... all for two roller coasters. Never credit whoring again!

Cedar Point, "The Roller Coaster Capital of the World", should live up to its name and add some record-breaking water coasters to Soak City -

You might be a coaster nerd if you can explain X2 to someone without confusing the living crap out of them. -

Worst Ride Name
Angle O. Descent replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Eh. I think it's a better name than "Ghoster Coaster." Awww I thought Ghoster Coaster was an awesome name when I was a kid Today, Flight of Fear sounds a bit tacky for an adult coaster. And Hurler sounds more nauseating than thrilling (although the ride was pretty good) -
