Well this may sound really dumb but The Voyage "was" planned to have a corkscrew. It was in a article written In German and I translated it to English. In this article here: http://www.coastersa...ge/voyage.shtml

Have you ever looked at it close from AZ? I did the other day I was like wow looks like it was made from tooth picks..lol Kinda like a card house , breathe the wrong way and it topples. I'm not even gonna bother commenting on that

I won a pack of Silly Bandz playing that game!

It just bugs me when people say things like this when they don't know that.

I want to know how you know that. Please tell me.

Uh how do you it won't be operating in the 2011 season?

Nice report! I love front seat on the red side but not the blue it usually staples me. The floater air is amazing my butt doesn't even touch the seat.

No roller coaster should feel as if your chest was imploding. No coaster should ever make it feel like your head is going to explode. Son of Beasts problem was never roughness...it was forces. It was both the roughness and the forces. Son of Beast only pulled 4.5 G's there are a lot of steel coasters that pull almost 6 G's. Son of Beasts problems was how the rose bowl shaped, the previous premier trains weighed A LOT, the "newer" trains were modified big time to fit it's larger track gauge and that both just destroyed up the track. Not so sure if I remember but that rose bowl pulled almost no lats (not saying it didn't) turns with no lats do tear up the track. The roughness came from both the track and the forces. Again, when I'm trying to have a conversation, you turn it into a debate. Not new. And you come in and start complaining about what he said and that makes the problem grow so either ignore it or PM him and talk about it there.

Are we all gonna take pictures of dirt? lol

There both in the woods lol but The Beast has no airtime.

Goals: Raise funds to proceed with restoration Replace timbers, realign track, restore trains Reopen coaster Support local economy by attracting more visitors to the area.

Oh I was pretty sure they were family owned. Oops

We should start a new poll on favorite posts. This post is in the # 1 slot for me. Why would this this be a favorite? I really wasn't suprised at all to find someone commented on my thoughts on Cedar Point's rides (even though I haven't been but I really don't care). There are lots other parks I would choose over CP. Sorry but I don't give a crap about a 17 second ride that launches you up and down a hill that is 400 feet tall or other record breaking rides that are there to break records. As for the rest of the park it doesn't look that special. There are many more unique rides out there. The park looks mediocore in my opinion. I rather spend my time on more unique rides and a park that's clean and not over populated. Rides like these look interesting: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rides like these are over rated: See how drawn out this is? Launch up then down your done? Cedar Point does look like a good park but it is WAY over hyped. They do have some sweet lookin rides but most of them are over rated. Much rather visit family owned parks like Holiday world, Kennywood, and Lake Compounce.

They all look like over rated rides to be honest. Except Maverick and Raptor but what do I know I haven't been.

I don't think they are used for that. They were no bigger then a tie on the track.

Ride capacity for Firehawk is really bad... Taking your bags across the train would lower it even more. As for Flight of Fear where would they take your bags?

Do you mean semi-pro

Paintball is a waste of money IMO. You shoot thousands of balls and hit your target a few times but it is fun though and it doesn't hurt that bad.

I was on the Eiffel Tower today and I used one of the of things to zoom into things at the park (forget what there caled lol) and I noticed there were red pieces of metal from ledger to ledger on the track. I'm guessing if they are actually there they are used to keep the track at the width it's supposed to be at. So they are probably keeping care of it and checking on it every now and then.

I saw Delirium start testing around 4 today. Incase your wondering.

Why spend almost 15 million dollars on the Iron horse track when you don't know if it's going to work? I honestly don't get it... I wonder how many structure problems Texas Giant problems will have
