Kennywood has always been a fantastic park. It has some very unique attractions and the atmosphere of the park is great. Check out my video blog and let me know what you think.

They do.

This was our first time at Holiday World. It's an excellent park with some great rides! Check out my video blog and let me know what you think.

A great day spent at Kings Island over the summer. I always enjoy visiting this park!

I don't think Ravine Flyer II is rough by any means - it's still a great ride! From what I've learned with wooden coasters, as long as you sit in the front row of any car the ride will be minimally rough, if at all.

A fun day spent at the park. It's not a huge park with tons of coasters but that doesn't mean we can't have fun. I always enjoy visiting this park.

Here is my latest video blog entry. Be sure to check it out and let me know what ya think!

Ever wonder what it's like to walk to the top of Magnum's tallest hill? Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_vaEbICGks

Here is my video blog I put together of random shots I took from this past Cedar Point season. It consists of lift walks, associate events, and playing around in the park.

I visited Knoebels for the first time this past summer. It is such a great park. That video is awesome, Robb!

My vlog from over the summer. It was my first visit to the park. I had a rather good time. The only problem is that I wasn't able to ride Possessed. The last time I rode that coaster was when it was at Geauga Lake known as Steel Venom, originally Superman: Ultimate Escape. I was super excited to ride it again at this park only to be told that it would be closed all day. I think they said it was struck by lightning a few days prior. Nonetheless I had fun at Dorney Park. Check out my video and let me know what you think of it.

It's a toss up between Twister and Phoenix. They are both just so fun!

This was my first visit to Knoebels. I had a great time!! Check out my video as well as my other videos if you have some time.

This was filmed back in July. I had a great time as this was my second visit to the park.

I prefer to go to the Skyline up front. It's a tradition!

Thanks for the info. I'm also glad they didn't take out Skyline. I eat there every time I visit the park.

Did they take out Skyline Chili or is Starbucks past that point?

This is a random question but where did they put the Starbucks in the park?

I'm trying to think of another royalty-free song to use for my next Cedar Point video that I hope to make this summer. If you can think of any songs that might be good, I'd appreciate the suggestions. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

This is my latest video creation using shots that I acquired last season. Any feedback is appreciated. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

I've posted this video a few times but I want to get it out to the world so everyone can see it. Any comments about it are helpful too. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

With the addition of "New Mantis" as I call it, I don't think it's a good idea for the park to put in a Dive Machine because they are similar. I'm not saying floorless coasters and Dive Machines are exactly the same but they have similar features. To me, it'd be pointless to put in a Dive Machine along with Rougarou.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Dive Machines. Given that I've only been on one (Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg), after the drop it just wasn't really anything special. It lacked excitement and energy in my opinion. I hope Cedar Point doesn't get a Dive Machine. That's just my two cents.

I've worked as a ride host at the park for the past three seasons, Magnum being my main ride in 2013 and 2014 so I've gotten used to the old control panel as well as the new one. In my opinion I prefer the old panel/system. Pretty much every co-worker of mine that's had the opportunity to work on both systems have said the same thing. As far as for the switch that some have mentioned earlier about having to go out to underneath the "emergency brakes" in order to release them, they put a new switch at the ride host position at the back of the station so that a ride host doesn't have to run all the way out there every time a few years ago. After the train in the station is clear and the train right outside of the station is clear of those holding brakes, the person in the control booth has to press a button as the ride host at the back of the station simultaneously flips a switch in order to release the train outside the tunnel. It's the same way with the new system.

I thought Disneyland has a Fastpass system?
