Running when park opens?
Abundant? Yes, your 9 posts on this subject have been abundent. Clear? Yes, you clearly made your point in those 9 posts, especially after post 5 of 9: Perhaps you didn't read you own post? BTW- you seem to accuse many people of not reading your posts, but you don't follow your own suggestion? Intresting.... And from the person who has been here longer than most, and has seen it all: Instead of boring everyone else, perhaps you can just PM me... Thanks!

Running when park opens?
Yes it is a safety issue, and safety is certainly more of a priority in 2011 than it was in 1979. What my parents did back then, I would never consider today. I would also not be foolish enough to actually break a park rule, let alone be told more than once not break the rules, and then be even more foolish to attempt to justify rule breaking on multiple occaisons by making up a story of "discrimination" and "harrassment". Take a look at your "facts"- - disappointment of not seeing your family's faces after riding DB - calling a park employee "old" (which is most certainly discriminatory) - already being angry about the wait you had to endure prior to your self- induced encounter with the "old" guard - actually wishing to physically harm a person for doing their job - not only complianing to GS but still justifing your rule-breaking here While you have said you were wrong, why still complain? What are you trying to accomplish? Sure, GS soothed your attempt at justification by apologizing to you and told you it would be handled. That is their job. They most likely went back to the officer, heard his side of the story, listened to the GS representative and his comments on your attitude and demeanor (given your reaction to those disagreeing with you), and praised the guard for doing his job. I will never understand the "if I'm wrong, you have to be wrong too" mentality by some people. First KI security, and now myself because of something that happened over 30 years ago? Really?

Can we call the Security Guard "Slugworth" instead of "old power trip guy that should be pistol-whipped"?

^ When were you told to run?

More Vortex Trouble
A tensioner can be adjusted, but are commonly used for minor adjustments because they can only be adjusted so far.

More Vortex Trouble
The answer could easily be that the new chain is stretching out and needs to be tightened (aka removing a link). Too much slop in the chain can cause it to snap.

Running when park opens?
This is TOO funny. Someone was busted for not following the rules, and is crying about it! Discrimination? Yes, he was discriminating against running. Harrassing? I'm sure that is your perception, but you admitted to running, thus, you brought attention to yourself. Yes, you were singled out of everyone else running. Do you expect officers to equal the number of guests? First- I have a hard time believeing he was in your face. You are the one calling him old and on a power trip. "B"- Are you ****ed about how you were treated, or, the fact you were caught? I'm with "B".

What to expect from cedar points crowds the next 2 days?

Ride of Steel: Chain Breaks
Another example in a long list of why media reports should be questioned. I wonder if Ms. Strange has heard about the deaths related to crossing the street and does she still let her kids do it?

What`s next for Son of Beast?
The same prediction could be made by a optimist as well....

Vortex conked out
Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction! Not all the time, and I don't really have a percentage close at hand. Who here can vouch that there's *not* a solid gold link in there. Huh? Anyone? Without admitting innocence or trolling, I can safely say that it would be pretty hard to believe that story! I hope it was a fun read and it explains a lot. I can vouch that there is not a solid gold link on the lift hill chain for Vortex. Now what?

FUN Q2 Results
I find it intresting that Six Flags in- park cap spending increased 4% to $17.08 & CF increased 1% to $38.95. http://investors.sixflags.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=61629&p=irol-newsArticle_Print&ID=1588338&highlight

Parking Prices Changing
I am surprised that there have not been police reports of the cars being into. Even when I Googled it, nothing came up- which leads me to believe the stories are fabricated (which we all know never happens on the internet ).
-
Parking Prices Changing
I wonder if there are codes for business property as well.
-
Parking Prices Changing
^ What code would that be? I only ask because I am used to, in PA, that if a vehicle is on my business property illegally, it is my right to have the car towed w/o signs posted.

2 World Records Set At Cedar Point
Beach balls? meh.... They should have gone for the record for bouncing basketballs! That would surely get a reaction.

Counting down the hours until KI & CP opened while wishing I was at SFOG enjoying their rides for the past few weekends.

Man dies after falling of Ride of Steel at Darion Lake.
The accident is still very new. It would not surprise me if they changed their minds at a later date. An attorney on a contingency retainer promising a large payday and one that they will probably win as I believe it is partially deserved as 50% of the blame does fall on the park's shoulders.
