funny I went to Cedar Point for the first time ever a couple weeks ago for 2 days and thought all the rides were alot smoother than most of KI's rides. We were there 12 hours the first day and about 8 the second and other than Mean Streak and Blue Streak which were a little rough (woodies after all) everything else felt great and we rode EVERY coaster at least once, most twice and a few 3 or more times. So after 20 hours at CP I felt great whereas after about 5 at KI I usually feel a bit beat up. I still enjoy KI but I prefer CP now but I'm still glad I have a season pass to KI. I'm 43 and I had never rode a coaster untill 2003 and have been to KI far more than anyplace else but to be honest CP was better IMO. Better coasters, better staff (nicer, more on each ride and seemed more into making everything fun) and I really liked the feel of the park, plus the area is beautiful with the water and everything. Like I said I still like KI but it's kind of like have a cute sweet wife and suddenly having a hot single chick on the side....lol. I know I'm an"newbie" and I'll probally get flamed but hey, it's a newbies point of view. I still really like KI and always will but my first love (KI) has been replaced by another.....lol
