There are ya happy?

I ride it for that thrill it gives going down the first hill and roaring out of the tunnel topping 65. Also the great rush going into the twin covered helixes. feels like you are going to go out of control and die. Sorry if that sounded violent but hey thats how i feel about my Number 1 Coaster!!

Six Flags having courtesy? Its a sign of the Apocolypse.

i guess if you really think about it it is not such a bad deal but when you first look at it it looks horrible. 350$? Thats a lot but you save a whole bunch of money if you include the ride photos which are about 14$ a pop.

When i was at Cedar Point las summer they did not charge money for the Spee Pass.

DANG!!! Why did you fail me Anheiser Busch?!?!? Why!?!?
-
Oh yes i saw all of those shows. I also rode The Great Movie Ride, and Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3d. The best show i think was probably Lights, Motors, Action. Nemo i was not trying to point anything out but yes i can see where you can get scared because there were some little kids on the ride with us and they were like are we really going to outer space and they got really timid when the ride started. But overall they thought it was neat.

Unfortuately i have to go to school and i cannot get away from it. But if i didnt have school then i would most likely be there.

If PKI had a system like Disney i believe that it would change all of the ride queve times. But one thing i noticed at Disney was that most people did not take advantage of it.
-
I hope they dont because i would like to see Anheiser Busch buy them. If thats how you spell it.
-
I believe that they should have a speed pass system because i think that it would save the congestion of all the ride queves and generate more customer happiness. Dont get me wrong there is still a lot of happiness.

After my return from Disney PKI has a lot better employees. Down there in Disney they are real a-holes. I am glad PKI's are not like that.

Rear Fest can sometimes get quite crowded but it can also be a blast. I usually make a couple of trips in the summer and 1 or 2 in the fall.

Cedar Fair doesnt have as many parks to run and pay the cost of upkeep either. Plus paramount parks are a big company adn they need all the revenue they can get.
-
I am planning to save my money and get a season pass. Only like 98 more dollars to go!!!
-
Sounds like some great weather. hope everybody has fun as i will be in school unfortunately.
-
Oh man i cannot wait to pass through those parking gates. I am in denial i guess.
-
I also got a Speed Pass and rode Star Tours. i am glad we didnt wait becuz it was not one of my more preffered motion simulators. Disney & MGM= Great Park!!
-
I bet at least half of their profit comes from parking.
-
That coaster looks pretty awesome. I might i have to try and make a trip over there some time.

But that is a good thing because they must guarntee the safety of the employees and paying customers. -
No we only had one day to go and we just went to Disney & MGM.

What's Your Favorite Cedar Point Rollercoaster?

Hmmm....... Where are all the Top Thrill Dragster votes? -
I have just returned from Spring Break and while i was on Spring Break i just decided out of the blue to go to Disney & MGM Studios. Well when we arrived we first went to The Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror. The wait time said 20 minutes so we went to get in line and when we did some nice lady came up to us and gave us to Speed Passes. For those of you who do not know what a speed pass is, it is a systerm in which you put in your park ticket into a machine and out comes a ticket that says what time to return to the ride and get into a faster line. But there is one catch and that is that you can only have 1 speed pass on your ticket at one time. But on your speed pass ticket it gives you a time you can get another. Any ways we got into the speed pass line and hopped right on the ride which shows a cool movie of The Twilight Zone and the episode of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. The story is that 5 people get on the elevator and lighting strikes it and sends the 5 people into..... The Twilight Zone. Well now these same doors are opening on a maintenence elevator and you are the guests. When you board the elevator it takes you up and it shows you a movie of the Twilight Zone and then the elevator carriage moves out and goes towards the facade of the building and then the windows open and youa re looking over the park and you drop about 20 feet and then up again and then down and everywhere. It was a blast becuase you never know what is going to happen. And i will always remember these famous words, "So next time before you check into a hotel in the deserted area of Hollywood just think about what type of vacancy you are filling." Quoted by Rob Sterling. So after we got off of that thrilling ride we headed over to The Rock N' Roller Coaster featuring Aerosmith. We walked right up and got a speed pass. I believe that PKi should go to this system because it is much more efficient and it could save the crowding issues. Well after we did that we went off and rode some of the other great and i mean great movie rides that disney & MGM Studios has to offer and came backa bout the time our speed pass was due and got in line. The Speed Pass line was backed up pretty far but they had a strange system of letting prople on. They would let a few out of both lines go and then wait for it to cool down and then let some more go so actually we didnt have to wait but about 5 minutes. after they let us go we walked up the ramp and into The G-Force recording studio. We watched a little video with Aerosmith in the recording studio and they had to get to their concert but they wouldnt leave us behind so they gave us backstage passes and sent a super stretch to come and get us. We walked out into and alley way to board our super stretch limo. We had over the shoulder restarints and they did not check hem good by the way. We rolled out to a stop light and they came on about a guy at the concert doing a live report and you heard the fans countdown from 5 and then when they hit 0 the light turned green and we shot out like a rocket into total darkness with the sounds of our screams and Aerosmith playing in the background. The layout was similar to Outer Limits but the launch track was longer and not as many inversions and slower. After the ride braked and was over we ended up backstage at the concert and got our red carpet treatment. The ride itself was a lot of fun dodging billboards while jamming to, "Dude Looks Like A Lady!" Then to make a long story short we got 2 more speed passes for each ride and rode them again. So overall my experience at Disney & MGM Studios was awesome. We got to see some great shows and ride some great rides.

Cedar Point is my favorite park besides PKI.
