Sounds like they have a good set of houses this year. Not sure how the roaming monster thing is going to work for them. I remember liking it at BGT's event, but I think for this to be successful you need a large number of groups that don't stick to anyone one area. Perhaps they'll add to the number of monster groups as they make adjustments to the event. dt

Looks like some good bouncing time in those seats! I look forward to a ride review. dt

Novact - The Rider dt

Toto - Hold The Line dt

Savatage - Power Of The Night dt

I purchased something today that I never thought I'd be able to buy: Orioles Playoff Tickets! dt

I really thought they'd do a kind of "traveling" version of DA, where they'd move it to a different park every couple of years or so. Guess they're making enough money that it makes more sense for them to put it into pretty much all of their properties. dt

^Haha! dt

And that's a bet you'd lose. I been on NTAG. I also rode the old Giant, and despite it's condition at the time, you could tell there was an interesting coaster hiding in there. Plus, you can talk to people that rode the old Giant when it was young, and they'll tell you what a great ride it was, and how it was regarded as one of the best wooden coasters around at the time. You would be hard pressed to find anyone singing the praises of Mean Streak like it was ever one of the best wooden coasters in the world at some point. Again, there really isn't anything remarkable about it, and it's really not a "signature" ride, one that people immediately think of when they think of Cedar Point, unlike Texas Giant or Rattler at their respective parks. I just don't see what they'd get out of re-doing Mean Streak vs putting the money into something new. Like a new Intamin woodie (someone has to build one at some point!). I always forget about the Georgia Cyclone. Yeah, that's a good call too. It was easily one of my favorite coasters when I rode it many years ago. Now? Not so much... dt

Why would anyone want Mean Streak to get this treatment? It doesn't have a great layout and there's nothing noteworthy about the ride. CP would be better off spending the money on a new wooden coaster. Honestly, the only two coasters that immediately come to mind for this treatment would be Ghostrider (if it would return it to how it ran when it opened) and Colossus (if restored to the original layout). dt
