  1. I hope the Intiman sales rep talked them into an extended warranty.
  2. If this were Twitter I would say enjoy the ratio. All woodies require more maintenance that the park’s “fiscal spending plan” will allow. (See what I did there. )
  3. Yeah that is ridiculous if they blocked off the close in spots first. I would want to hear an explanation from management before criticizing, but if they are silent, then the words would fly.
  4. I suspect that is just parking control to pack them in so there are not tons of gaps and then people driving up and down isles looking for a spot.
  5. Few things do roll off the tongue initially but given time it will. Hated the name Steel Vengeance at first and everyone was trying variations of Steve but that was even worse. It rolls off the tongue now.
  6. Interesting weather this morning. 48F in Cbus but 40F in Sandusky and Mason. Tony already tweeted rides will be a slow start up or not open at all today at CP. Maybe they should move up Winterfest.
  7. I won’t set foot near a park on Columbus Day weekend anymore because of the crush of people in the midways. Your passes should help with wait times for the mazes.
  8. I don’t personally think it is either but we have been told that insinuating budget was involved in the height decision is disrespectful. Edit: For those that seem to not follow my line of thought I leave this quote plus the previously linked article that an employee insinuates budget played a role in the design decision.
  9. It does? The only part I see that kind of explains it is when mentioning the giga price tag with gigas. Seems a bit disrespectful for an employee to say.
  10. Such a great opportunity to punk everyone with a dummy webcam feed as the fog lifts. “It’s gone and replaced with a Larson Looper!”
  11. Reminds me of Stan Checketts of S&S standing on Power Tower without a harness before it was turned over to CP, or so the story goes. Allegedly fined by OSHA for the stunt.
  12. Should have told them it doesn't matter as it is down for the day. Probably would have been right anyway.
  13. Probably building a band stage for the big Orion VIP Backstage Tour event tonight. See you there.
  14. @sixohdieselrage you flying around up there right now? Have some tissues with you?
  15. It is latin. Anno Domini (the year of our lord) In addition "After Death" makes no sense as the modern calendar starts the year Jesus was born not after his death. Though of course there is academic argument over the exact date of his birth.
  16. Wells Fargo says acquisition is “Highly Unlikely” https://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=15983749 Edit: Also Cedar Fair drops after Wells Fargo highlights merger hurdles. ( 5.44%) https://seekingalpha.com/news/3503993-cedar-fair-drops-wells-fargo-highlights-merger-hurdles
  17. He is my thing with Vortex and kids. With the old overhead restraints kids heads can get slammed around pretty bad and a few years ago it completely ruined our day at the park with my then 11 year old and we had to go home. He is now 5"9' and rode it this summer and was fine, still rough but no headbanging like last time. It is one of the coasters that is survivable if you know how to "ride it correctly". If you want to give it a go maybe make it the last ride of the day.
