Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Off-topic, but Sean's was post #666 in this thread. -
See? Robb lists the Dania Beach Hurricane as 5th on his woodie list. That's saying something. But without further ado, here's my list (I've been on 37 coasters): 1. Millennium Force What can I say? There was intense airtime on two spots and floater airtime through the entire thing. It did a fairly nice job of holding its speed throughout the entire ride and the overbanks were extremely fun. 2. Montu Probably the most intense coaster I've ever been on. Nice floater air on the drop, the inversions are extremely intense, and it never lets up. 3. Incredible Hulk The launch feels a LOT faster than 40 miles per hour. I can feel my hair blowing from that launch and it's always a thrill to go through that barell roll. 4. Top Thrill Dragster I'm a sucker for the launch and the speed. 5. Batman The Ride (SFMM) This was my first invert, and it's extremely powerful. Having FastLane on a cold January morning helps as well. 6. Dania Beach Hurricane This is my favorite woodie. The ejector airtime, the slight roughness, the curves, everything. Robb rates it as his #5 woodie and I have to agree that it's extremely fun. I've ridden it 100 times. 7. Raptor Another first-tier invert. As you can tell, I'm also a sucker for inverts. This is the third on my list. I love everything about it besides the brake run. Extremely intense cobra roll. 8. Sheikra The vertical drops give great airtime, and the immelman is great. Sure, it's a short ride, but those three elements do it on this short list. 9. Revenge Of The Mummy I rode 7 times in one day and 2 times on another trip. It's a ride that you can ride over and over again without getting bored, even though the actual coaster part is so short. Whoever said that there was no airtime was COMPLETELY wrong. Unless they were STAPELD into their lapbar, I don't see how you can miss the 3 ejector spots of airtime. 10. Gemini I agree with Robb, it's much better than Magnum. Airtime, relentless speed, the racing aspect, everything. You want proof that it holds speed? Its fastest speed is on the ending helix. A few coasters that didn't make it: Kumba. It's fun but not intense. Probably #11 or #12 on my list Dueling Dragons. I just don't see what the big fuss is about. It ends way too quickly and is a bit too forceful. Still a second-tier invert for me. Goliath (SFMM). Again, what's the fuss? The positive G-s and the speed? I was STAPLED into my seat, so maybe that's why, but I do not recall a single spot of airtime.

I added a unique little element. It's a half-loop to half-corkscrew but instead of continuing on with the cobra roll it continues into a flatspin. TPR Track Tennis.nlpack Mine. -

Cool trip! Not many pictures but that's OK because I realy liked your video. -
Shoes on or off...

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I could've sworn that I saw some people toss their shoes on the side... -

I had to hold my hat on every ride. Not a big deal because I keep my hands up anyway. I probably could have buckled it to the shoulder harness... -
I lack the ability to blow bubbles so I don't have to worry about that.

Nice. Your brother sounds like my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Rausch, who was so obsessed with shoes that she'd change in the middle of class, paying no attention whatsoever to the fooling around that we did. We got a six-person poker game going, and she walked by one of us and said, "Nice hand," completely oblivious to the fact that we were playing poker in the middle of class! Ah, the memories. But yes, if you're wearing sandals you should definitely take them off. In fact, I think you're required to place them on the side. Don't leave them on the invert floor because it moves down and there's going to be another train that comes. -
I had Big Red the day before I got braces. Heaven. Dentyne Fire is awesome as well. I seem to remember having these Big League Chew things that were part gum and part fruit juice. They were amazing.

Dude, they're not going to fly off unless they're extremely loose. Trust me on that. The G-forces may make them feel like they'll fall off but I don't think it's possible. On a side note, who pays $90 for shoes??? -
I rode the back both times. I've heard the front is awesome but the back was amazing. There are only three rows, and each one is higher than the next, so you won't have any vision problems.

Here's my room. My DDR pad, bookshelf, and TV. My dresser and closet. That's a bunch of my pictures hanging up on the wall and my bed. My laptop, camcorder, Stuart's soda, desk lamp, and a bunch of random crap.

Daily, that's pretty much how I looked on TTD...

When I went, both Lion and Tiger were running. We were the only people waiting for the back row, and Gwazi took two cycles before we could get on due to horriby slow operation. Lion and Tiger never duel anymore either. Lion will get released, and when it gets to the brake run they'll release Tiger.
-
Gwazi's lines are always short but operations are poor. I don't recommend you ride both sides for anything but the credit; they're extremey rough and not too fun.

Say what now? -
Brian, that's exactly what Kumba is. It's not intense, but it's thrilling and fun. Mountu on the other hand is intense.

Wii will be on the UK trip right now, so please leave a message and Wii'll get back to you.
