Shadowforce Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Isn't Camp Snoopy a kids park? I do not doubt that some kids find wrestling interesting, but it doesn't really go too well together, 'least not in my book. And why pay 10$ for a ride when you can get double the space for 10 percent of it? Just kiddin' ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, I didn't mean my comments to sound negative...I just thought it was a funny combo! Wrestlers and roller coasters....kind of like tires and bananas! --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowforce Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Tires and bananas... *yum* It didn't sound negative at all, I just asked a geniune question. It doesn't seem logical to have wrestlers go around and promote a charity campaign like this at a childrens theme park. What are the money going to anyway? :?

Red Benny Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 That's hilarious, but not a bad idea. My girlfriend has an onride photo of her and Mankind (a wrestler) riding the Comet at Great Escape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder001 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Don't ask how I know this, but there is a group within the WWE of Roller Coaster nuts. The group consists of Edge, Scotty 2 Hottie, Mankind, Christian, Matt and Jeff Hardy and Al Snow. While I know a few of the names are no longer with the company, if you visit a theme park and there is a show on near-by, the guys have been known to slip down to the park for a coaster credit before the show.

Wildcatjoe31 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 You would be suprised how many of them actually come visit cedar point in their free time. Atleast once a year a group of them will show up to cedar point for the day to come ride so I guess I dont see it as being odd at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Mick Foley ["Mankind"]'s second book [he has quite a few, all of which have been bestsellers and many of which were critically acclaimed], he actually has top ten lists of favourite coasters, parks, non-coaster rides, and waterparks. He's a huge coaster nut. And WOW, WRESTLING IS "FAKE"? I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED. THANK YOU FOR ENLIGHTENING ME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thunder001 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 I know some guys on the Gold Coast that would be glad to show anyone exactly how fake it can be.....not the right words to use around them, trust me on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 During my Kennywood days, (Back when the WWE was WWF) wrestlers were at the park all the time. Heck, I raced a few of them on the Racer once.

TheGreatOne Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 There are quite a few WWE people who travel to parks while on the road. I met Mick Foley at Stark Raven Mad in 02 or 03, he was a really nice guy. I also ran into Al Snow at PKI's opening day back in 2003. -Bryan "really hasn't watched wrestling since the days of Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior" Wood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
