^for sure. I think in a few years Cedar Fair will be doing a lot better.

Maverick pwns!

^lol that pain really is no joke. ow.

Burn it to the ground!

^Mantis was built in '96. Raptor opened in '94. Mantis's original name was also Banshee but they changed it because the public thought that Banshee had bad connotations.

^word. Now that that's settled, when are we rippin TRTR out and putting KCKC back in?

^But waiting in line for it and sitting down on it while it's in operation does require a PhD? I'm not saying that I like Tomb Raider, but I'm also sure as hell not going to say that I know more about it than a 2-yr supervisor of the ride.

That's the one they're talking about.

That's an awesome page! Yikes!

Well....... I'm originally from Oakley. It's 17 miles from there, about 18 mins to get there. But I got a job in Chicago and moved up here.... So now it's about 300 miles, about 5 hrs (without traffic!).

haha yeah there's nothing like a good pwning. even if you're on the receiving side...

You know, now that I think about it, TRTR really does resemble a scantily clad woman.... extremely high-maintenance

There's a lot of banter about things that people don't like. What's the absolute worst? I'm picking Chili Vision because after seeing the same music video 50 times in the same day I just want to blow my brains out.

^now that's definitely a waste of cheese.

Seems like a waste of cheese to me... but sure?

Christmas stuff might not come out right after Labor Day, but I'm sure that for some stores it's not much longer... Back to FearFest. Any news on the new building by TG and XSF?

^^ hahaha I'm trying to picture this.. A man walks down Rivertown while KCKC is still there, and he sees the entire ride. A tall, exciting yet peaceful flume ride that winds around the treetops, and has a very short line. Another man walks down the Rivertown path now, and he sees a Jeep, a line of people going into a cave, and a big warehouse-looking building. The ride is named after a game/movie about a scantily clad woman shooting guns. I think I'd rather see KCKC.

Don't get me wrong, I'm with you all the way. But wooden coaster wheels still ride on steel plates.

Well let's see.. Maverick has water bombs inside the turn around the lake, but they don't spray the ride. Very rarely, they have mist inside the launch tunnel. They probably installed that and second-guessed it when they thought about the corrosion that might take place. Other than that, the theming on Maverick doesn't do any damage to the ride, so I'm willing to bet that the theming in 5 years is.... well... exactly the same.

Tomb Raider is nothing without the 400 ft drop and the heartline roll...

To answer your question: Cedar Point also had it last year, and that was discontinued this season. Sorry. No $0.25 cotton candy. Again back on topic: I think that Halloween stuff really kicks in right after Labor Day. Sadly, I think some stores also start stocking for CHRISTMAS right after Labor Day. Yuck.

Well last year it was closed because of the track modification. Also note that Firehawk is not listed to be open during FF.

There's a fine line between getting some rainclouds a few times a month, and spraying your ride with water and keeping its environment very moist for 12 hours per day.

Oooh I see. Maybe I'll email them and tell it to come by my house

^lol. I think you missed the point. Gemini is a Steel coaster with a wooden structure. Nonetheless it is definitely a steel coaster, and I don't know of any educated coaster fan who would say otherwise. Seems to me that kind of logic should go both ways... Voyage is a woodie.
