CoasterExpert13 replied to Loefet's topic in Roller Coaster Games, Models, and Other Randomness
http://www.nolimitsfairground.com I was just on the site and the game looks pretty cool actually so I think i'm gonna give it go. Also in the news section (for those who might not have read lately), I read that Creator Ole Lange, stated that NoLimits 2 is 55% finished! Link: http://www.nolimitscoaster.de/ -
Guitar Hero World tour Vs. Rock Band 2
CoasterExpert13 replied to kalvin's topic in Random, Random, Random
Guitar Hero IV: World Tour because, Rock Band 2 is just a re-work of the first game, with nothing much else changed. I think the create-a-song is well overdue, i've been hoping that GHero would do something like that. I Like Rock Band but there are ceartin things that I can't stand. Like the clear fret board (messes me up sometimes when I play) and the cheap-looking clear notes. -

So, I watched the commercial and the guy's accent wasn't that bad. I could understand clearly what he was saying...and the tone of the advertisement didn't sound/look to be racist in any way to me. I think people are taking it the wrong way...but ah, thats life.

Photo TR: Fahrenheit Opening Day
CoasterExpert13 replied to natatomic's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Lovely, lovely photos! I also really enjoyed the report (yes I read it all lol). Fahrenheit looks really fun! I think Fahrenheits trains looked a bit...plain to me. You would have thought they would have added fire or something to the cars but...It's still a must ride! I thought Maverick was just awesome, no head banging at all (but maybe that's because I found myself leaning forward throughout the whole ride...) -

Cedar Point P:TR 5-23-08
CoasterExpert13 replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I rode Mean Streak in 2003 and it was alright from what I remember. I rode it again in 2004 and it was the smoothest it's ever been. Then I rode it May 2007 and I felt like I was being tossed around in a cheap whirlpool dryer. This year, it felt like a 89' Dodge Dynasty running out of gas while hitting a telephone pole! -
Cedar Point P:TR 5-23-08
CoasterExpert13 replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
I forgot, Breakers Express is on Cedar Point Dr., about 3-5 minutes from the park. Also There are a billion other hotels (some extremely worth the money) on the main stretch of road, right before you cross an over pass that has a sign above that reads "Cedar Point...Use both Lanes"....It's the main drag where Perkins, Walmart, Meijer, Max & Erma's (etc) is. -
Cedar Point P:TR 5-23-08
CoasterExpert13 replied to CoasterExpert13's topic in Photo Trip Report Archive
Thanks! I'm not to sure about the big boy seats....When I went to CP last may and rode TTD, a guy had to leave the ride because he couldn't get the seat belt to clip...but he looked way more than 260. That same day, the same thing happened to another guy on Millennium Force. As for the Hotels, We stayed at Breakers Express last May. Since we had no problems, we stayed their for this trip and when we head back in July, we'll be staying there again. It's cheap but not tacky, we paid $70 bucks last year but this year we paid about $110 because we stay during memorial day week. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable enough and they have a very nice pool area outside. Now as far as food goes, they say they have a continental breakfast...more like Krispy Creme donuts you have to pay for but they give you free coffee, so bring your own food unless your going to get breakfast elsewhere...but they do have vending machines in the hallway of every floor. Thanks to all who commented! I had so much fun that I can't even begin to describe which is why I going back July 12th! As for the "Cell Phone Incident"...There where a lot of people who wanted to smack the Verizon sense back into that girl. The girl that got hit looked something awful and I'm sure her parent will be taking legal action after that one...you should have saw her face. -

^Lol, when I go back in July, I'll be sure to try the back seats! I loved the front seat though, not just because the ride is awesome in the front but, the visuals were awesome! -

Awesome pictures! I have to head back over to KBF one of these summers! -
My best friends and I went to Cedar Point to escape Pittsburgh for a day (not that there's anything wrong with Pittsburgh!) I would have to say that this trip to Cedar Point was the most fun I've had out off all my visits (Probably because all my friends didn't chicken out this time and actually came lol). Out of the 6 of us, 3 of my friends never been to Cedar Point...so I was really amped! But... First off...Not So Good Things That Happened: While waiting in the "Maverick" lines for some 40 minutes we finally reach the stairs leading onto the station platform. We all noticed that the lines had stopped moving for at least 10 minutes. We then happened to look and noticed that all the coaster trains that were on the brakes (either 3-4 or more....can't remember) were empty and the ride ops were closing the restraints and clipping the seat belts. Everyone initially thought that the ride broken down....but that was far from the case. About another 10 minutes later, we found out that while the coaster train was navigating it's course, so dumb chick took out her cell phone and called someone. While she was talking, it flew out of her hands and hit the girl behind her right in the face. OHHH my lord the girl's face was leaking blood...They bandaged her whole head...all you could see was her mouth. She couldn't even walk out the station, she was weak and crying. They had to carry her down to the exit. The girl who did it was expressionless. Who knows what's going to happen to her. I was pissed for the victim! I mean seriously, I've heard and seen many dumb things in my life, but talking on a cell-phone while riding high speed Roller Coaster takes the cake! I hope they super-glue the cell phone to her ear and make her listen to CP's automated message about park policy for 8 hours straight...Then banned her from the park for however long they choose to and possibly some legal action! Earlier I rolled over to "The Dragon's Inn" for a bite to eat. After spending $11.00+ for a Hot dog, fries and a small Pepsi, I went to put ketchup on my food when some butt wipe knocked over my drink and just walked away. However, the nice guy at the register gave me a large Pepsi for free. There was a lot of line jumping but The CPPD (Cedar Point Police Department...not sure if that's the real name) was not going for it. I have never seen so many people ejected from a park in one day (Majority were kids on high school field trips). Other than the above, I had a blast at CP! Let me tell you, Maverick+front seat= by far the best ride in the whole park to me! I had no idea that little coaster (compared to the big guns of the park) packed such a forceful punch! It was fast, smooth but it had parts that threw me out of my seat. The launch under the station is insane! I loved it, and I can see why they removed the 3rd and final inversion! We rode it mid-day about 5:30pm, though the lines were extremely long, they were moving pretty fast, we originally waited less than an hour but then the "Cell Phone" incident happened. The rest of the coaster lines weren't bad either except TTD...we skipped it because the wait was past 2 Hours. I like the park staff a lot, they were really nice and helpful! I talked to a lot of park staff because they would say "Oh, you're apart of Theme Park Review, Awesome!" The guy at "Calypso" (whose name was also Dave) was really cool, he said that he was from "CoasterForce.com". Also, it was extremely clean at CP and I'm not surprised as it always is. We pretty much hit all the coasters/rides except: MaxAir: All my friends were scared of it...and I didn't want to ride it by myself. Skyhawk: We have one at Kennywood (Sling Shot) although not as tall...that was the reason my friends past this one up. Magnum: Rode it last May..It wasn't bad, just a bit boring for me. Cedar Creek Mine Jr. Gemini- we didn't ride this because.....well, yeah. Woodstock Express Wildcat: For some reason it was closed all day. Top Thrill Dragster: The lines for this speed demon were extremely long all day. When we finally got around to riding it, the wait was more that 2 hours. My friends didn't feel like waiting that long. As much as I love TTD, I didn't feel like waiting that long either. After we left the park, we stayed at Breakers Express before heading home the next day. Nice, clean little place...but what pissed me off was that there was a sign that said the Pool closes at 11pm. Well I guess no one cared because a group ranging from about 15-20 people (Kids/Adults/Teenagers/some looked like college kids) were splashing around and making noise in that damn pool until almost 3am. My window just happen to be by the pool. Ah, but I had a great time at CP and we'll be going back July 12th, the day before my 22nd birthday. Thanks for reading, if you did! lol Enjoy the pictures! The End! Goodbye Cedar Point, see you in July! Everybody seemed to be leaving around 8pm. The park closed at 10pm. Raptor as it began to get dark out. Took a shot of the beach while in line for Wicked Twister! A little bit closer now.... How I always seem to miss this ride, is beyond me! Next Stop: Wicked Twister! Bill & Ocean Motion! The ride op looked pissed as we got on. He only let the ship do 3 funky swings and then stopped the ride (no joke)! This is why I don't let people take pictures with my camera lol! Bill didn't even wait for us to get into position. Jeff wasn't even paying attention, while I'm caught doing some weird kick lol. My peeps, Justin, Kristen, Jeff, Chrissy & Bill as the day was winding down. As we made our way back to the front of the park, I saw some construction going on. Everybody in our group looked at each other, then Power Tower, then each other again and just shook our heads lol...words didn't need to be exchanged! A train just reaching the top...It almost didn't make it! I think this is a weird but cool picture...I was trying to catch the train during the descent but this is what I got! TTD through the trees! Random shot of TTD, snoopy and some birds! The girl in the blue shirt, second row was screaming her head off and that was way before the launch! Same shot just a bit closer! TTD with a hint of Mantis in the background! Chrissy & Bill stop for a quick pose in front of Gemini! Gemini & Octopus! Next Stop: Gemini! Another Highlight of the day, smooth and enjoyable as usual! Maybe this is the reason they opted out! Skyhawk...I so wanted to ride this but none of my friends felt up to it after being banged up on Mean Streak... We survived it though (some of us left with bruises)...Nice looking coaster though! We only rode it at the insistence of Justin (Right). He claims that he feels safer on wooden coaster...Yea, well not after this one! And yet...we are heading over to ride it lol! The ride looks nice, but It feels like you're being tossed around in an old barrel. Parts of Maverick and the Garbage compactor that is Mean Streak. I snapped this before I sat front seat! The ride was insane! A cool shot of Maverick from inside the station! This was taken right when we found out about the "Cell Phone" incident. Kristen & Bill were pissed because we had to wait a bit longer...Jeff (middle) was trying to keep from laughing at their facial expressions! Bill, wondering if waiting in Maverick's lines is worth it (he later confirmed it was)! Random Maverick shot! My humps! My humps...my humps...my humps! Train heading back into the station! Jeff, Kristen & Bill doing the Cedar Point version of the Captain Morgan pose! Kristen, Jeff & myself doing our best line dance! One of the best parts of the ride! Next Stop: Maverick, Finally! The top highlight of the day! Found these in some log-themed gift shop. Just thought that there were cool. Myself, after the extraordinary ride that is Millennium Force! The stuff dog was the work of "Guess My Weight". The guy thought I was 195 Lbs...Psshh, 174 Lbs. pimpin', thanks for the dog! Almost time! Kristen entertaining us with her best touch-down dance! Bill, Kristen and Jeff ready for their ride on MF! This was Bill's first ride on MF and although you can't tell, he was scared sh#tless! A very colorful display of MF, Mantis & TTD...taken in MF's lines! I think I got this same shot last year... Bill, Justin & Jeff's heads can be seen below as they admire MF! Actually they were trying to talk Justin into riding (but he held his ground)! Millennium Force from afar! The 2nd and 3rd drops through the trees! Looks like an upside down Nike check! I love this picture! The huge over-banked curve trough the trees! Next Stop: Millennium Force! One of the days many highlights! The back half of Mantis! Here you can somewhat get the idea of how crowded the park was! Many people complain that it's rough or that it hurts "The gonads"..but I've never had an uncomfortable ride on Mantis! Next Stop: Mantis! One of my favorite rides in the whole park! This Hot-Dog basket cost $7.69 and with the Pepsi, came to a total of $11.28...and I thought Six Flags was high. This small Pepsi (which looks rather big) was $3.59...Took this picture right before some butt wipe knocked it over, looked at me and then walked away. There was a pretty nice crowd getting food from here. The Dragon's Inn...finally some food! Wildcat for some reason was closed all day...I like this compact little ride! Bill wondering how the ride is gonna feel. Random Iron Dragon shot! TTD, Power Tower & Iron Dragon posed, as always for a picture! Random corkscrew shot with random folks! In fact, NO ONE rode it lol! Crowded midway and Corkscrew. Not to many people rode this lawn ornament! Calypso was a fun ride and the ride op Dave (not pictured) from Coasterforce.com was really cool! Blue Streak! I always manage to pass this up. but we rode it this time. Very enjoyable ride! (Group photo #2) same peeps with Justin on the end! (Group photo #1) Before we rode Raptor. Peeps in order: Chrissy, Bill, Jeff, Kristen & myself (Notice I'm the token Black Guy lol j/k) Random shot! Cobra Roll Goodness! Another shot of Raptor...some of the shops have changed since last year. A shot of Raptor's mid-course! First stop: Raptor! Ahh...I can smell the green paint from here! My friends Chrissy & Bill pose before we smack up rides! Jeff, My friend Kristin and myself (in the middle of saying something!) My Best Buds: Bill, Justin & Jeff (It was Bill & Justin's fist time at CP) Millennium Force seen as we are approaching the park...and some random Ford Focus. Just arriving!
