Here is the link: http://www.proslide.com/rides_05_inst.php it also states the SFKK has one too in one of the pictures you can see the one at sfkk, you can see chang setting in the background, and yea gwl has one, the lady at the off season blues party was telling us about it when we were at the windows looking into the waterpark from the second level.

Riders stranded for hours after Invertigo breaks down at Great America
this makes me wonder, why on earth did they not design these with platforms so that if something like this does happen the riders can be easily removed?

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
title of story:'Son of Beast' To Remain Closed, Possibly For Good so channel five bent the truth, they said that the ride could be closed for good, but the park said it will be closed the rest of the season, and maybe into next season, that doesn't mean forever

Cedar Point Thrill Checker
if i worked at an amusment park, this is the job that i would want to have, i think it would be so much fun getting to climb to the top of top thrill dragster everyday. quick question, when they inspect wicked twister, do they just climb in the middle of the track, using it as if it's a ladder?

KIC: What Happened?
i agree with this comment 100%, not because i'm trying to make Diamondbacklover mad, but because i know it's true, just look at some of my first post, and even now i post some things and then wish that there was a way that i myself could go back and remove one of my comments and erase one of the many arguements that i had/have/and most likely will have created. and with the creation of this thread it makes me want to say i'm sorry for any argument that i have started.

Ride count on Diamondback?
i'm at 10, i wish i had more rides on it, but i never got to get to the park on one of the days where the line ended at the bottom of the stairs.

Action Zone
um... i might be wrong but that area of the park was never Action Zone until Son of Beast construction had started, did't it become paramount's Action Zone when they opened Invertigo and Drop Tower to the public and didn't they have Son of Beast partially constructed that year?

Guests Say The Darnest Things
guy in line for Flight of Fear: "this ride doesn't go upside down" girl with him: "how do you know?" guy: "it doesn't have those big bulky harnesses that go over your shoulders" girl: "what does that have to do with going upside down?" guy: "for insurance reasons, just look at Son of Beast, it only had the lap belt and the insurance companies told Cedar Point that they needed to either remove the loop or put on the shoulder harness, so Cedar Point just took out the loop."

The Son of Beast Discussion Thread
jackson, i don't believe that your reason for us Son of Beast lovers being lighter is true. insted the reason, or at least mine, is because it doesn't mater what we say some (not all) Son of Beast haters take it and go on a giant rampage like the tazmanian devil and tear a thread apart with all of the "Son of Beast isn't safe" and "Son of Beast needs to be burned down", sometimes when we say something about Son of Beast some Son of Beast haters act just like those same park guest that we all get annoyed with in the park that no mater how hard you try to tell them something they just reject it and feel the need to keep on pointing a "fact" out even though you know that it isn't, but it doesn't matter what you know, it's what the people hear (i.e. the press that are taking quotes from here saying they are fact) that they believe. coaster_junky, who still doesn't understand how he can have so many enjoyable rides on Son of Beast, and haters come off feeling like they have been trampled by an elephant. [/confusing rant]

Where did the Thrill go?
for me, the only rides that give me a true thrill are drop rides and launched coasters (except maverick), expecially the drop rides, i love it when you know how long you stay at the top and the feeling you get when you count at the top too fast and your like, "oh god how are they going to get us down from here now", but maybe i'm the only one like that.

Your Single Best/Epic Coaster Ride
i could have had a night ride on Diamondback durning the fireworks, but the crew stopped the ride and sent through and empty train, but it was kinda neat seeing the reflection of the fireworks in the splashdown pool.

Euclid Beach Boys keep memories of Euclid Beach Park alive
