Thank goodness no one was hurt! But the Kinzel nickels thing was mean, they almost died and you're thinking about nickels!

^Why would they do 80's THEN 70's? All kidding aside, Michael Jackson was an important part of the 80s, and just because he *supposedly* (am i allowed to say the r word on here) some kids years later, doesn't mean his picture is not allowed to be at a local amusement park's newest show!

It was not the Raven, I think it was Shockwave @ Kings Dominion, but I could be wrong because i just heard it somewhere.

Can't we all just get along?! Dare-to-Fly and Brownttgr: This fighting is annoying, and in the end there will be no winner. And I really do not enjoy scrolling through dozens of posts, where the only point to it is to condradict the others opinions. Please, either stop or take it to PMs. Moderators: This entire topic has become a constant argument between someone and someone else, and really nothing is being proved or discussed with meaning. The first page and a half was imformative on trim brakes, why they were there and how they worked, but it has gotten to the point where the second is being fought over to no end, and verbal insults have resulted. Please, do something.

Reminds me of so many suits filed over rediculouris things, they're nothing more than a good laugh. I remember hearing once about a teen on a roller coaster, who was dared to climb out of the restraints, he did. He died. And the familly sued the park for faulty restraints!

"Now, be a good boy and say you're sorry." To quote many famous mothers.

It's still crowded enough to make a 1.2 day trip not enough. (Grrr )

Well I went to CP on Tuesday, and it seemed plenty corwded to me. Maverick had a 1.7ish hour wait, and Millennium Force had a 1.3 hour wait, TTD had a 1.5 hour wait, and Blue Streak had a 15 minute wait. Now, if Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the World, is having trouble getting people through the gates this year, mainly becuase of Gas prices, imagine how they will do next year, or the Year After. Just something to ponder. . .

Where's the fun in that? Keep a coaster but don't let it operate? BOO!

Bummer. So is the Big Dipper going to operate again, or is it not?

At Least some rides will be saved. I wish I could say the same for 2 of my favs, *Cough*Villain and Double Loop*Cough*

Renagade is a GCI twister, and after my experience on the Kentucky Rumbler I'd have High expectations for it. . .

Interesting. Can't say I agree with one side or the other, which is something that happens rarely.

Impressive. That's all I can say.

I didn't know that they had a trim on Firehawk? Maybe you can only feel them when you're sitting down, not laying down.

^Ugh. Please, think about what you're saying.

Congrats! If you don't have a spine of steel, skip SoB. Besides that, enjoy!

Well, Interp, then who do you think would buy them?

Lines were pretty average, I guess. Most rides were walk-ons or 5-10 minute waits, except for Maverick (1.5 hours). Millennium (1.3 hours), TTD (1.8 hours), Raptor (.6 hours), and Mantis (45 min.).

Kudos to CoastersRZ for brushing up on his history!

Great Article. But I agree with Woofer, Dubai buying the Busch parks? What a hoot. I don't see Cedar Fair buying these 10 parks, cause they just spent 1.24 BILLION on just 5 parks, and they still have a debt to pay off. And Six Flags? Ha. Ha. Ha ha. They are in an unbelievabe debt, and they want to invest into buying 10 more parks, especially parks with High expectations for there next owner.

I agree.

. . . Which is such a crying shame. . . .

Yea, I've heard some rave reviews from that ride. I beleive the Mighty Canadian Minebuster was molded after the Shooting Star.

Ahhh, there was a great Country show in International Showplace where they did a medly: With Waylan, Willie and the Boys... This Successful Life I'm Livin's Got Me Feuding like the Hatfield's and McCoy's. Hey, you have you're music tastes, I have mine. *chough*alternative*cough*
