Everyone who is saying that "Cedar Point is going to rename Valravn" because of the death at the park. . . It's about to drive me insane.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
DoinItForTheFame replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
*IF* Cedar Point was going to change the name they would have had to trademark the new name. With the announcement being in 3 days we would have seen something trademarked by now, and we haven't. Just another reason I highly doubt there will be a name change. Now, moving on from the name change topic... So, back to something more exiting than all this name change talk... I just LOVE this Webcam view. -
Impact of a bad visit
DoinItForTheFame replied to JFrombaugh's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
There have been many times I have been at a park and there have been things at the park that park employees have done that annoy me to no end, however I try to just let it go, and not let it bother me. With that being said after a recent visit to Six Flags Over Texas I have vowed I would never return to the park. They could build the worlds tallest and fastest coaster and I would still have no desire to return to the park. The park operations were awful. Simply awful. There were so many times we watched ride operators at Six Flags seriously sit there and talk with each other rather than checking the restraints, to try and get the trains out of the stations. It was so bad on Mr. Freeze that they would dispatch one train, it would slide over, launch, make it back into the station, slide over back, unload, and start boarding again... and they STILL would not have even checked the restraints on the other side of the station. Meanwhile the main operator was sitting there singing into the microphone, and screaming about how much she wanted a sticker. New Texas Giant, and Titan were both almost just as bad. There were so many times the ride operators were to busy talking to each other to take time to check the restraints of the trains. Titan, Mr. Freeze, and New Texas Giant were all averaging 5-8 minute dispatches. Surprisingly Batman was the fastest crew in the park. They were getting trains out rather quickly. They were working hard, they weren't just standing around talking, they were actually doing their job. With all of that being said another thing that greatly annoyed me was the way all of the employees handled Flash Pass individuals. There were several times at Mr. Freeze when we were trying to use our Flash Pass, and the employee who was suppose to put their device up next to yours, and ensure you could ride would be all the way down at the back of the talking to a ride operator who was trying to check her restraints. We would end up waiting about 10 minutes each time for him to stop talking and come let us ride. Then on several rides the operators would ignore us, and complain that we were there using a Flash Pass. Saying things like "Ugh, why do they have to spend the money to make me work extra" to other ride ops, and even park guest. At Justice League they scanned our Flash Pass, and had us stand up against a wall to "forget" that we were even their. They just kept letting the stand by line go in front of us, and about 8-10 minutes later they would come up to us and say "Oh, I am so sorry. I forgot you were over here." Seriously this happened almost ever time we rode the ride. Same thing happened on La Vibora, and a few other rides. It was so frustrating. When you spend the money on a Flash Pass you expect to actually get to use it, and not be ignored, and talked bad about by employees. We got to the park at about 11am, and left at 2pm because we were so annoyed, and I have no desire to ever return to the park. So for me the impact of a bad visit depends on how bad the visit is. I tend to be really forgiving when it comes to things annoying me in parks, but when a lot of things are added together it makes me vow I will never return to a park. -
Weird Coaster Facts
DoinItForTheFame replied to maliboomer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I get what you're saying here... but I don't get how Wildfire is "Technically a floorless coaster." Just because the seats are up high and your feet don't touch the floor, (Even though my feet do still brush the floor while riding Wildfire) Does not make the coaster a floorless coaster. The coaster needs to actually NOT have a floor for it to be consider a floorless coaster. Otherwise every coaster on the planet would be a floorless coaster for shorter people. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
DoinItForTheFame replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Oh. My. God. This is almost enough for me to want to avoid opening this thread again until the announcement. They are not changing the name. We have already discussed this... for like 200 pages. Can't we find something new to talk about instead of continuing to beat a dead horse. -

Granted: But by doing so results in there never being another Football game on TV. Ever. I wish I could go to the top of the Freedom Tower.
