It really comes down to the park guests. The guest treat the employees with no respect, and then expect to get something for their troubles if an argument breaks out. On PointBuzz, someone said that an employee on Magnum wouldn’t let them ride with a bag that was like a fanny pack. Well he then got out of line and went to the back, so that employee wouldn’t see him. He then said that he flipped that employee off as they left the station. I think it comes down to the guests. If they would show the employees a little respect, the employees might treat us a little nicer. I can't count how many times a CP employee has done something nice for my family and I. We did a parent swap on TTD, and the employee that let us in through the exit, let us take the front seat, which he shouldn't have, but the entire crew was in a great mood.

That's what I mean. Thank you

Only rode it twice, and don't plan on riding it again. I was extremely upset with this ride. The only thing I found cool was the fire. The rest of the ride was a disappointment. All three launches were hardly noticeable. I would rather go down the hill on Adventure Express. The helix after the launch, was nothing, it wasn’t even fun.

I waited three hours for Millennium Force in 2000. In 2003, I waited five hours for Top Thrill Dragster. Mostly because of mechanical problems and such. It was well worth the wait.

Tenderloin Sandwich & Potato Wedges from Potato Works! La Rosa's pizza and salads are excellant as well.

If Intamin is building SFGadv's new woodie for 2006, then you can count on it being as smooth as butter. Their wooden coasters are almost as smooth as their steel coasters. You can count on Intamin to bring something amazing to the wooden coaster community. If SFGadv wants something big, Intamin will give them big.

I do feel like being thrown out of Son of Beast. Six Flags style! Six Flags: Kings Island & Hurricane Harbor That's what we all want. Isn't it?

When nobody is around, it saves time to go through the rails than to walk to the entrance.

I like the way CCMR looks at Cedar Point. It adds excitement to the ride. Also, did you realise that CCMR is sitting on a lagoon? That's mostly why it's in bad shape.

Beast - 7359' Son of Beast - 7032' Beast is not that much longer than Son of Beast.

Forget themeing, taller and faster is the way to go! You don't need themeing for a ride to be great. Some of the greatest rides aren't even themed to anything. I don't see why someone would prefer Italian Job: Stunt Track to Millennium Force.

On average, Top Thrill Dragster will push anywhere between 120 - 124 MPH. Kingda Ka has an advertised speed of 128 MPH. So I would imagine that KK will push a little over 128, unless it isn't needed. But hey, we are talking about Six Flags here!

I am a Cedar Point fan, and IJ:ST doesn't really apeal to me because it isn't a Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster. I love the whole idea of the ride and stuff, but I wouldn't want to wait no long than an hour for it. If IJ:ST loses its themeing the same way FoF did, then I don't think it would be worth even walking into the queue. It's too short as it is, and without themeing, it's an Adventure Express / Beastie.

Top Thrill Dragster has open sides as well. TTD also has lap bars, which offer a better experience compared to OTSR's. I haven't ridden KK yet, and don't plan on doing so, considering it's 8 hours from where I live. http://pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=899 http://pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=707 http://pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=705 http://pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?i=887

IJ:ST is going to suffer the same fate with its themeing.
-
The area behind Son of Beast is the same area behind Racer.

I don't themeing to enjoy a ride. I would rather wait three hours for Top Thrill Dragster and Millennium Force before I waited an hour for Italian Job: Stunt Track. I like the idea for IJ:ST, but it does nothing for me. It is way too slow, and it's a very short ride. That's just my opinion.

22/25 9.) Wasn't alive in 1986 when Skylab, Zephyr, and Dodgem opened. 20.) Who the hell is Maestro? 23.) 7th Portal... James Bond... Same thing... Right?

No, you must own a Mini Cooper to attend this event.

I rode it twice on Saturday. Got a Reservation Ticket for 4-5 PM. Waited about 15 minutes. It was an interesting ride, but it was too short and not very thrilling.

It's nice that PKI has a webcam now, but it's in a horrible spot.

There has been no confirmation of SFGadv getting a wooden coaster next year.
