Wow, pro wrestlers and Camp Snoopy! Of course! What a....um....natural combo! Will these guys even fit in the coaster???

 

STAMFORD, Conn.--March 2, 2005--World Wrestling Entertainment®, Inc. (WWE) Superstars Al Snow® and Scotty Too Hotty will be at Mall of America's Camp Snoopy on Saturday, March 5, to raise money for the Minnesota Chapter of Make-A-Wish Foundation® as part of the WWE®'s "Road to WrestleMania® 21 Tour."

 

The Superstars will ride the Timberland Twister Roller Coaster as part of the fundraising efforts. Anyone may join the Superstars on the ride from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for a $10 donation.

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.

[robbalvey]

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!

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? :?

[CoasterCrazy]

^It's going to the Minnesota chapter of make a wish foundation.

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.

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.

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.

LUCKY I LOVE WRESTLING. WWE ALL THE WAY!

[Wes]

I wonder if they'll fake being scared.

[cfc]

Too bad they don't use OSRs on Timberline Twister--these guys are used to banging heads.

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.

[thunder001]

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

[DenDen]

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.

I wounder if their weight would make the car spin really good.

That is true. I have seen him at Great Adventure a couple of times, and I'm sure that a few other people have too. He is a huge fan of coasters.

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.
