Magnum XL is a coaster at Cedar Point, which I think it's funny that they reference a coaster from Cedar Point.
It's all a part of the "Cedar Fair thematic universe."

In the bottom of this image of the photo booth at Flight of Fear's exit taken by @KIghostguy are two crates with multiple cassette tapes in them.
My question is: What do you think each cassette tape says and what does it mean? Enjoy!

unlike a certain theme park reviewer.
Are you able to name this "reviewer"?

I actually got a picture with Logan at the Orion First Riders Event.

CS and his so called GF are becoming unbearable to see anymore.
What does the GF stand for?

LOL. I still don't know the reason why they put The Shed at the END of the ride. Are all those sharp turns just you being a unexperienced truck driver and somehow get trapped inside the shed and get killed by the monster (The giant, giant snake, and the giant "scary" tree)?
Here's my honorable mentions list for my top five roller coasters at KI:
Honorable mentions:
- Mystic Timbers- It would've been number 5 on the list if it didn't have a LONG line all the time!
- Surf Dog- I know it's "Arguably a coaster", but for now I'm not going to count it as one. But that doesn't mean I don't like it. It's a great family ride!
- Woodstock Express- I've never had ANY issues with this ride. It's not very rough, and doesn't ALWAYS have a VERY LONG line (I'm looking at you Mystic Timbers!). But when it comes to my "Top Five Best coasters at KI", it just wasn't able to make the cut.
- Flying Ace Arial Chase- Why did I put this in here?

Basically, here you can make fun of or criticize any roller coaster at KI in any way you want. As long as it's appropriate and respectful to other people.
Here are a few examples of this stuff:
Anyways, enjoy! Let the criticizing begin!

Zero. It's dead, but not forgotten.

Here are my Top Five roller coasters at KI:
- Diamondback- Amazing airtime!
- Orion- Great theming, really fast, and my first roller coaster to have a debate/argument with. Is it a Giga or a Hyper?
- The Racer(s)- What kind of coaster enthusiast wouldn't wanna race their friends on a roller coaster!? I'm pretty sure I've won every single time I've ridden it! (P.S, the Blue Side is most likely to win the most because the Red Side has trims!)
- The Beast- I'm surprised this ride even made it to my Top Five list! Spectacular night-ride!
- Invertigo- If you keep your head back against the seat the whole time, you'll have a more pleasant ride!
Honorable mentions:
- Mystic Timbers- It would've been number 5 on the list if it didn't have a LONG line all the time!
- Surf Dog- I know it's "Arguably a coaster", but for now I'm not going to count it as one. But that doesn't mean I don't like it. It's a great family ride!

I'm going to have to say The Vortex for two reasons. One: The only coasters I've ridden at KI that are now defunct were Firehawk and The Vortex. Two: The Vortex helped me conquer my fear of roller coasters and made me start to enjoy riding them more.

Definitely.
It feels so empty without that ride standing there. Guess it wasn't listening to Elton John enough.

I think "Orion's theming" is anything in ride's que, station and (maybe) its soundtrack. If I were to say that Area 72 is a part of "Orion's theming", that would be the same as saying that Area 72 is a part of Flight of Fear's "theming." Does that make more sense?

Not yet. Still a little too early. Right now, we're finalizing the actual contents and layout of the book.
Within the Orion section, there's a part walking through the different storyline concepts for Orion and Area 72, and how it developed into what we ended up with.

The only rides that I KNOW have some sort of connection with the lore/backstory of Area 72 are the following: Orion(obviously), FOF(Flight of Fear), Invertigo, Vortex(R.I.P), Firehawk(R.I.P), Adventure Express, Banshee, The Beast, Mystic Timbers, and Son of Beast.
Question: Why would put the Son of Beast in the theming?
-
With the new Area 72 and the interesting lore surrounding it, I wonder if there's a way/theory that connects all rides and puts them on one single timeline. I'm asking you guys to come up with a theory that connects all the rides mentioned in the theming of Area 72 into one single timeline. Enjoy!
-
Maybe after you do the history book for KI, maybe you could do a book explaining the lore/backstory behind Area 72. It could be called, "Tales From AREA 72: And Other Extra Terrestrial Discoveries".

How about an Aquatrax
What's a Aquatrax?

Why? Was it a hot rod that got its heat shot out of it?

With the park's 50th anniversary coming up soon, I wanted to see if anyone can make some posters for the park and maybe some of its rides. I can't wait to see you come up with.

Is the book by any chance available for pre-ordering? If so, where?

That one used to be. Last year (2020) it wasn't as bad as it used to be. There was a time where I came off that ride with a headache so bad, I had to go home with an ice pack on my head.

I think there was a time where I rode it 2 times in a row and don't ever remember getting a headache. To me, I think the worst ride at Cedar Point is Magnum XL-200. I'm pretty sure that the headache I had after getting off the ride was so bad, if the ride's track length was double, I would probably have a migraine.

Same! And the line that I had to wait in for that ride was so long!

Are you saying they did not use the Stinger trains in 2020? Those are green and I thought I saw it on the ride this year too.
Sort of.

The worst coaster that I have ridden that comes to mind is Invertigo
When I rode Invertigo back in 2019, I thought I wouldn't ride it for a long time. But when I rode it last year in 2020, I actually really enjoyed it! It could possibly be because I heard that in 2019, they moved the old trains from Stinger to Invertigo, which could've been the reason why it was rough that year.

Here's a topic where you can express your opinions on what YOU think is the "worst roller coaster you've ever ridden". And of coarse, like all opinion related discussions, please be respectful of everyone's answers, no matter how negative they are, or if they're against your favorite roller coaster. Anyways, enjoy!

Backwards Racer was basically the regular ride experience, except one major difference. They had one train facing forwards while the other train, however, was facing BACKWARDS.
