DarkMeasures Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 I remember waiting to ride Mean Streak for over 2 hours back in 1998. Raptor and Mean Streak. And I remember only half the switchbacks were full in that coutyard.
niiicolaaah Posted May 25, 2007 Posted May 25, 2007 The pirate ride was still open when Raptor opened. I went to Cedar Point in 1994 (Raptor's opening year) and 1996 (Mantis' opening year). For our 1994 visit, we rode the pirate ride. In 1996, it was closed.
dandaman Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 ^^It's a really long walk even in a straight line from entrance to airgates.
griffon Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 You definitely lined up some great pictures there, thanks for putting those new ones up! Glad you had a good time at the park around the same time I did.
dandaman Posted May 27, 2007 Author Posted May 27, 2007 Hold up... how the heck did my TR (technically) make the front page? Far as I know, there's no S-curve track in sight in my pics.
robbalvey Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 ^ I made a change to the front page comment. Is that better now? I didn't exactly mean "photos of the S-curve" just meant "cool pictures of it under construction. Be happy that I found the pics interesting enough to put on the front page! And I also moved your "Part Two" photos so they are also on the first page.

Hey, I didn't know you could do that. I didn't mean to complain or anything, I was just surprised I made the front page for once. Thanks!
KingOfNynex2003 Posted May 27, 2007 Posted May 27, 2007 Looks like you had a pretty fun time at CP without having Maverick open. I wish I could go to CP and get onto the rides over there but they've made sure only skinny people can get onto all of the good rides like MF, TTD, WT, and Maverick. But at least I'm going down so maybe in a few years I'll finally be able to go there and get onto those rides.
DenDen Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Wow awsome Photo TR! These are really great pics. ^I thought a terra coaster was well.. this is how I thought it wen't (this makes me very confused). Mega= 100ft Hyper= 200ft Giga= 300ft Strata= 400ft Terra= 500ft. At least this is what I was told. Maverick is not 500 ft. Terra coaster is just one of the fake buzz words that Cedar Points hype machine comes up with. Look at the spelling kids... Terra = short for terrain Tera = Next logical step from Giga strata, etc.

Terra = short for terrain Tera = Next logical step from Giga strata, etc. THANK you. I was just going to say, I believe Terra has someting to do with ground; Maverick is basically a terrain like coaster [close to the ground and not going beyond 100 feet except the first drop.
dandaman Posted May 28, 2007 Author Posted May 28, 2007 I mentioned the spelling clear-up somewhere around here, I SWEAR I did... Nynex: Supposedly, Maverick's restraints are surprisingly accommodating. Thanks again everyone! New Photo TR coming after Saturday's visit!
KingOfNynex2003 Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I'm actually kind of surprised, because it's made by IntaRides and they're pretty much like Intamin and they look exactly like KK's restraints and there's not a single chance I could ever get onto that one at my current weight besides the main reason i would go there is to go on those record-breaking coasters like I mentioned earlier and yes I know that WT is not a record-breaker.
Carnage Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I'm actually kind of surprised, because it's made by IntaRides and they're pretty much like Intamin IntaRide = Intamin. IntaRide is just the American name that Intamin uses.
dandaman Posted May 29, 2007 Author Posted May 29, 2007 The IntaRide (factory? office?) is located in Glen Burnie, Maryland, according to the little Maverick handout from last year.
