I hope no coasters are removed...but if one had to be removed. Remove Vortex...Yes I know that's a silly suggestion...But for a B&M fan, I for one hate their stand up coasters. The only one I ever rode that was tolerable is SFOG's Scorcher.

Maverick is a torture device. I want a ride I can hold my hands up and feel free. Not one that I have to hold on or get a neck injury. Now if they gave Maverick I-305's modified restraints, then I might agree.

Well I must be a huge f**cking moron cause I just don't see it...and that's okay. But, I've rode Intamin and I've rode B&M...and I just prefer B&M. B&M rides are just more comfortable. Every time I see Millennium Force ranked number one, I laugh. Millennium Force isn't all that. Hell, imo...the best coaster in Ohio is Diamondback...which is a B&M. And to mention, Six Flags has Nitro and Goliath (SFOG) and they're always up in the top ten coasters which are B&M. Now I haven't rode every coaster in the world like Robb has, so I must bow to his superior knowledge. But to this point in my life, from what I have rode...I can say I enjoy B&M better. I look forward to B&M's next 300+ coaster and you never know, Leviathan could have just been practice...Carowinds giga coaster might be the best ever built. One can dream.

I don't blame Cedar Fair for going with B&M, they are more reliable coasters than Intamin. Plus B&M are just better coasters period imo. Since CW has a Giga and Hyper, and Carowinds has a hyper and getting a Giga, watch for Kings Dominion to get a Hyper in 2016.

I remember them sending out a survey about a waterpark expansion and I made sure I told them it was an idiotic thing to do. White Water is an awesome water park...why want another water park? But of course they probably threw my survey in the trash because it didn't agree with what they wanted to do. This is my home park, they need to leave the venue and trash Ninja...seriously. Worst coaster ever!

Excited for Kings Island...My favorite Cedar Fair Park! I also love B&M coasters...They are smooth and offer the best ride. I wonder what the next B&M coasters will be at Cedar Fair parks? 2010 - hyper coaster - Carowinds 2012 - giga coaster - Canada's Wonderland 2013 - wing coaster - Cedar Point 2014 - inverted coaster - Kings Island 2015 - hyper coaster - Kings Dominion??? 2016 - giga coaster - Knott's??? 2017 - wing coaster - Carowinds??? who knows?

It's very sad to hear this news. But what makes it worse is hearing news report stuff that isn't true. It just feeds into peoples phobias about coasters because they make them sound like a death trap. Yeah, a person died, and it's horrible...but what about the thousands of other riders that rode it safely? If it was a heavy/large woman that was thrown out because her restraint wasn't secure then they need to make a change and stop letting heavy/large people on these rides. I've seen multiple people take the walk of shame because they couldn't squeeze into the restraint correctly and that's after the operators struggled to fasten them in. I say to hell with that. If you got to struggle, send them walking and don't even try to let them ride cause it may just save their life.

Yeah, looking at the map it's previous obvious Ragin Cajun's spot would be perfect for a new skyscreamer...and SFGAm is due for one. Ragin Cajun is headed to SFA. http://www.sixflags.com/greatAmerica/info/parkMap.aspx

This is my first time posting in here but I just wanted to say I went to Cedar Point for the first time last week and spent five days there. First off let me say I enjoyed Cedar Point but with that said, I was a little disappointed too. I went Memorial Day through Friday and the weather pretty much sucked. Cedar Point is a bunch of nazis when it comes to weather...they shut everything down with the slightest breeze...it's ridiculous! I was also disappointed to see Skyhawk shutdown. I hadn't seen it reported on any website so I sent an email to screamscape to let people know. So it's a good thing I stayed so many days, it gave me a chance to ride everything around all the bad weather spells along with checking out the water park and challenge park too. About the water park, I expected a little more...it was rather small...but still fun. But Cedar Point isn't known for their water park, it's known for rollercoasters...And driving up to the park for the first time was an impressive sight. It was coasters galore. Here's my review of them all.... Started with Gatekeeper first of course...a long walk back to the right for it to be at the gate too...lol. Now I have rode both X-Flight at SFGAm and Wild Eagle at Dollywood and Gatekeeper pretty much combines the two with a little extra...it's a good ride. And all this talk about the restraints, let me say I loved them. I'm 6 '4 and 250 pounds and they fit me like a glove. I wished more coasters had restraints like this...especially Maverick...because the restraints on that thing sucks! Next would be Wicked Twister making my way around the circle and this coaster is fun. I didn't even think about this coaster being the fourth coaster at Cedar Point over 200 feet until some fun trivia at Millennium Force. But still, it's pretty much the same ride as other coasters like it. Next would be Corkscrew and let me say that these are the worst coasters...not quite as bad as Ninja at SFOG but it still sucks. Regardless if it's a Arrow or Vekoma, they all hurt. Ouch! TTD was next on my radar and it definitely lived up to the hype...By far my favorite coaster at the park. It was an incredible experience...but the weather can shut this puppy down in a heart beat which makes it suck if you're in line waiting to ride. Magnum XL 200 is a joke. I was expecting a good ride, but ended up with bruised legs instead. The restraints on this ride not so nice. Cedar Fair needs to move this to another park, one without a hyper like Michigan's Adventure, and build another hyper here, something like diamondback at Kings Island. Gemini was a cool coaster, I really enjoyed it. Didn't get to ride Jr. Gemini though...too big. However I did ride Woodstock Express...Kind of cool for a kiddie coaster. Mean Streak was next...It was one large ass wooden coaster, but tame as hell. The front was smooth but slow as a snail...too much brakes. The back was too rough. All in all, this coaster just sucked. Rocky Mountain Construction could make this an incredible coaster if Cedar Fair would let them rebuild it. As for Maverick, let me say this...it's a cool ride. But it's not "The best ride in the park" like people kept saying it was. Now it could be, but it despartely needs new restraints. It's a tortue device for your head during the "TWISTY" parts. The only way to enjoy this ride is brace yourself...and in my opinion, coasters are so much more fun when you can let go and not worry about a beating. Cedar Creek Mine Ride was a good mine train...a lot better than others I have ridden. Most adjust your spine...but this one was alright. The only one I've rode that was better was the one at Carowinds. Next was the one I was most looking forward too...Millennium Force. The one they claim is the best coaster on the planet. I disagree. Maybe in the top ten, but not the best. Really only a few moments of air time, it's really just about the speed...which is cool and Iike it...but I could think of a few other coasters better than it. Mantis was pretty much like all other stand up coasters...suckage. I just don't like that B&M design. Iron dragon was a cool ride...liked it a lot. Blue Streak was the best wooden coaster in the park...nice old ride. And last but not least...Raptor. My favorite inverted coaster I've rode so far. Montu has always been my fav...but Raptor is now the reigning champ. As for flat rides, nice collection. I liked them all. MaxAir was lots of fun. I wished Skyhawk was open but no dice. Overall, a cool park. But I'd still have to say Kings Island is my favorite Cedar Fair park. It's hard to beat a one two punch from Diamondback and Beast. Not to mention they have a better water park too. But I'd visit Cedar Point again.
