Do not listen to this man. Third row, teeth clenched, prepare your thighs for the bruising of a lifetime. If this is your one shot to ride Magnum, you better do it right.

This might seriously be the best post I've ever seen on this entire forum.

Fixed. Anyways, Skinny Billy is just jealous he doesn't have my meaty thighs that allow me to enjoy the sh*t out of some Skyrush.

^ Agreed. It's really good in the front and back, though in the front it feels like its going to rip your face off. Same with Bizarro - both front and back are best, but I prefer the front as it amplifies the whole floorless thing.

Don't listen to this joker. Back row all day, specifically the far right side. It really does have a little more rip through the two left turns (after the drop and before the helix).

Must rides: El Toro, Nitro, Kingda Ka, Zumanjaro. Personally Toro and Nitro are two of my favorite rides in and out of the park. Nitro is a people eater so even if the line is long just wait, it will move. El Toro will likely blow you away and you'll want to ride it again. The magic seat is the middle row of the last car. Olé! Thank me later. Zumanjaro is great - not the most intense drop ride but the view is great, the drop is loooooooong and the ride is fun. And for whatever reason it never has a ridiculously huge line. Kingda Ka I'm not a huge fan of but many folks love it and its definitely a must ride. It is the tallest coaster on earth and all... Solid supporting cast: Batman, Bizarro, Skull Mountain, Runaway Mine Train. As you can see we've been gushing about Batman the last few pages, its running better than ever. Bizarro is hands down the best looping coaster in the park, get twisted at night with the effects (fire, lights, mist, etc) working. Best in the front of the train. Its back in the middle of nowhere so waits are usually minimal. Skull Mountain is nothing spectacular but its unique for a junior coaster and kind of cheesy but fun. Sit in the back for a really nice pop of airtime over the first drop. RMT is a really solid old school mine train. Great setting in the woods with a fantastic finale over the lake with some brief yet good moments of airtime. Choo-choo! Fun but skippable: Superman, The Dark Knight. If you haven't ridden a flying coaster do Superman, but do it early. Lines always get long and move excruciatingly slow. Dark Knight - a wild mouse in a box. Can be fun if the effects/props are all working but not worth waiting in a long line for, imo. Skip unless you enjoy headaches and being beat up: Green Lantern Will box your ears in. Some (crazy) people like the ride but I hate it. Like Superman can be a slow loader so line moves slower. The Joker I can't comment on as its not built yet and I haven't ridden its brother in Texas. It doesn't look appealing to me but I can guarantee lines will be ridculous this year as its being built right at the end of Main Street and its our big fancy new ride, and nothing like the GP around these parts has ever seen. Flats worth checking: Skyscreamer, Houdini, Skyride. Skyscreamer is fun, though the wait is typically long, the Skyride is long and offers a ton of great views not to mention a convenient shortcut across the park. Houdini is just weird and funky but interesting if you've never ridden a Vekoma madhouse. I've never ridden Twister or El Diablo.

^ Party pooper.

Batman was running exceptionally well during HITP, moving up in my rankings just from that handful of rides in January. Both smoother and faster than ever. It really is a great ride, and one of the best in the park. And since we're talking about it, I really loved Namtab more than I thought I would, and part of me wishes it could stay like that. Except for the super tingly feet thing it did to me, that was weird.

^ No times for jokes! Let's do a shot!

^ Skull Mountain was installed in 1996, and Blackbeards in 1999, FYI.

Guys, no one is going to win the fence debate. And Cedar Fair does not care about what any of us think.

^ Yeah I figured that as well once they did it. And yeah so far only one train has appeared, so it would seem that's all they are getting.

No worries.

They've been hammering away at the supports on the other side. Train remains, all wrapped up for now. I'm excited to see more track go in place.

My point was that the commercial made it look good, regardless of what coaster it actually is. Thanks for pointing that out though. It's also Shockwave in the GASM commercial.

You can have Skull Mountain if you send us Maverick, TTD's trains, and TGI Friday's. We get to keep the Skull Mountain pumpkin, though. As the founder/CEO/chairman of The Cult, I approve of this trade, minus the Friday's, but plus a Chickie & Pete's.

Thanks for posting that dubaidave, looking good.

Out of all of those I only vividly remember the Ultra Twister commercial. Made the 9 year old me want to ride that thing so bad. Out of the rest of the clips I posted I think my fave is Rolling Thunder - not because I'm a RT geek or anything I only rode it a handful of times in the 80s/90s, but it just looks so good in that commercial. Parachutes commercial is pretty good too.

We've managed to hijack the CP thread with Skull Mountain. Well done TPR. The Cult approves.

^^

That equals 9. Whats the lone manufacture? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wild_One_%28roller_coaster%29 You need Phoenix in your life. Like you have no idea... LOLOL That was from a year ago! My top 10 has changed a bunch after visiting CP. Now its 6 Intamins, 2 B&Ms, an Arrow and a Morgan (sorry Wild One - I love you but not top 10 love).

I don't think its a question of pride LOL. They made a big investment and had to market it.
