Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Bedholm replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I would also strongly recommend a back row ride on Maverick as well cause even though Maverick is amazing in the front the back is really good on this ride as I feel you are thrown over the first drop giving amazing airtime. -
For KK is the entire ride rough or just part of the launch cause after riding TTD 5 times at the very back or really close I didn't feel any roughness except for when the train started its upwards descent or while go through a rollback( when the train started to re-enter the launch track area) but those instances of roughness only lasted of upmost a part of a second to a full second. If the ride is rough throughout I feel like it would just fully detract from the ride experience. Unfortunately when I was at Gadv KK was closed due to Zumanjaro construction.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Bedholm replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Intamin 200 ft wooden coaster in the proposed dive coaster's spot followed by an RMCed Mean Streak would give Cedar point something un matched by an park being the possibility of having the best wooden, hybrid, and steel roller coasters all at one park. I know back to back wooden coasters would be a bit crazy but the idea of having the best coaster in those 3 categories all in 1 park would be amazing. -

What do you think of Fast Passes?
Bedholm replied to K1ngdaKa88's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I personally like fast passes but don't ever get as I see little value in them. For me and my dad we always hustle at parks with little breaks between rides and get to park typically 45min before opening which ends up saving hours. Pretty much as long as you can get ahead and stay ahead of the crowds and try to go on less crowded days you can act like a human fast pass saving a lot of money. The one time I've ever used a fast pass was at SFMM this summer and I thought it was nice since I was with people new to the park , but if I wasn't with them I probably would've gotten on more rides running like a wild man than with a fast pass. Simple thing is if your really good at hustling at parks and are good at navigating fast passes serve little to no value. Coupling that with single rider lines you're actually faster than someone using a fast pass about 75% of the time -
What is your next park?
Bedholm replied to onewheeled999's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Carowinds March 29 unless I go to Knott's over President's Day weekend Either way I'm excited -
The worst one I've ever had to deal with was Goliath(SFGaM) cause they made you use a seatbelt check that then push restraint then check making dispatches super slow

Where Are You Planning to Go in 2015?
Bedholm replied to ytterbiumanalyst's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Not official yet but pretty certain Doing road trips to as many Cedar Fairs Parks as possible Cedar point Kings Island Kings Dominion Carowinds Worlds of Fun Knott's Berry Farm Maybe: Holiday World SFMM Busch Gardens Williamsburg -
1. Stand-up Riddler's my favorite B&M so far and they all provide good airtime 2. Invert/Floorless Same concept to me just different seats waiting to go on Banshee next years 3. Flying other than the pretzel loops there's nothing to them 4. Wing Riders amazing near misses and zero g rolls but are rather tame 5. Hyper coasters I don't get all the hype for them Nitro and Raging Bull are both horrible IMO Never been on sitting or dive yet so can't judge

As I've only been to Cedar Point a bunch of Six Flags back and the Disney Parks in California I'd put SFMM and Cedar Point together adding Bizarro and El Toro into the equation with really good food so my mom would be happier then everything would be perfect. I don't really care about friendliness or how clean a park is just the rides and food

How Old Are You & What Was Your 1st Coaster?
Bedholm replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
First rollercoaster was a kiddie coaster at the small park in Mall of America I was only like 5 or 6 now I'm 15 First big rollercoaster was X and Titan when I was seven -
Having an awesome B&M standup converted to a sit-down with a lap bar would be awesome. There would be way more freedom. I just don't get all the hate about standups, if you ride them correctly you actually get a lot of nice zero g airtime moments more than I normally get on the B&M hypers I've been on.

Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
Bedholm replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Lines on 9/13/14 didn't seem too long. The line for Mantis was longest and most boring wait of all the rides. The wait for Mantis was near 90 min. while the rest were about an hour or less. Only reason to ride it is to say you've been on it. Comparing it to Riddler's Revenge and Green Lantern(SFGadv) it sucks so much head banging. I personally am a big fan of standups but Mantis sucked comares to the others I've been on.
