AMEN. As much as I love Cedar Point, I only truly enjoy 7 of their 17 coasters. More is not always better.. it's kind of like people who think that because Dragster is CP's tallest, it has to be CP's best. I'll take a ride on Magnum XL-200, Blue Streak, Raptor, or Maverick over TTD any day. IMO, more coasters don't always equal a better park, and taller coasters don't always mean a better coaster.

I was sad, but not too surprised, when I found this out. I count myself as one of the few I know who enjoyed that park. I pray that they relocate Greezed Lightnin.. I will seriously shed tears if they scrap it. The 3 times I went last year, the employees were always friendly, and the park was extremely clean. I will miss the park.

I love how some publishers are just like, "OK. I'm not exactly sure about this information, so instead of using Google like an intelligent human being, I'm going to just take a wild, uneducated guess at this." It certainly adds to the humor aspect, but I'm not sure they are aware that they aren't exactly gaining credibility.

You might be a KI addict if you are sitting at home on a day off while it's pouring down rain, and you get nonstop texts from your friends on KIC telling you to come down because there's no line for Diamondback.. next thing you know, I'm turning into the toll gates with my platinum pass in my hand.. haha.. love you guys

I don't mind riding up front unless it's Wicked Twister. I'm a back seat or ejector seat rider.. I like my G FORCES and AIRTIME! I know when a coaster is in my top 10 when I get strong Gs and ejector air even in the front seat. I remember when my friend Cameron asked me "Which seat is ejector seat on Voyage?"

That six-park trip you mentioned is basically a big if. I know that's not feasible unless I have quite a bit of time off, not to mention quite a bit of money. The two I want to visit most are SFGAdv and Hershey. The other four are options along the way.. who knows which option is best, I have no idea. I just want to go to Lakemont to ride Leap The Dips.

Negative-G are some awesome people. I met quite a few of them at Six Flags St Louis. SF STL wouldn't be a new park for me, but it will be for Tom. By the way, Nick, my possible trips are posted in my signature. I'm all for clean parks with enthusiastic employees.. to me, it doesn't matter how awesome your rides are if your park is filthy and your employees are rude/couldn't care less about their jobs.

The trips I have planned are going to be epic. I've talked to several other people who are very much interested in going with me, or I with them, on these trips I have listed. A few of these were trips I had planned to make last year, but did not get to make. The words "rather large trip" scare me. I don't exactly have a money tree in my back yard. We will see when the time comes, but until this trip you speak of comes to life, I'm going to stick with my original plans. I have a full time job that requires a 2 week advance notice of any days off, and I'm a college student. I can't just randomly get up and go on some gigantic trip.

Please read my signature for park trips I am hoping to make. Feel free to suggest any places to eat (no seafood please), amusement parks I shouldn't miss, places worth going to, zoos/aquariums, historic monuments, odd things to see, anything you think that may be of interest to me (I'm really up for anything. I love to do new things and travel to new places!). Also feel free to expand on what to eat, see, and do at one or more of the parks I have listed. I really would love to make the most of my trips this year. I know that many on here are well traveled and can help me make my trips something that will never be forgotten. Thanks in advance. <3

I am just now seeing this trip report. I also thought the crickets were spiders too *shudders* I didn't know that they use their antennae for surroundings or that they can't see. I'm fascinated by nature, I love learning these things. Awesome PTR, looks like you had a great time.

I love traveling as well.. not just to amusement parks, but I'm also a history nerd. I have a fascination with any place or landmark that has history. Anyone who read my STL trip report or heard me talk about it knows that the Gateway Arch was my favorite part of the trip, yes, even over Six Flags.. I welcome any invitation to a drag race strip or car show.. I make my own jewelry.. I am an animal and nature lover, and I enjoy zoos, nature preserves, state parks and aquariums as much as I enjoy amusement parks.. and with over 1100 songs on my iPod, I will say that I am a music lover too.. I also enjoy sampling new and interesting foods from different countries, cultures, and cities.. I also enjoy new activities and learning to do new things.. there is so much that I am enthusiastic about, it would take me all day to tell you..

I'd say I'm an enthusiast, when I could tell just by listening to a coaster for the first time that it had PTC trains, without even looking at the trains.. I also immediately identified a GCI without knowing that it was one.. I had 3 season passes and a coaster club membership card in my wallet last year.. and when I saw Ninja at Six Flags STL for the first time, I immediately said "that looks like a cross between a Vekoma and an Arrow" without knowing that it indeed is.. I've sacrificed sleep many times to go to amusement parks.. RCDB is in my drop down menu of most visited websites.. I could go on and on..

I'm not sure what I'll do first. Probably run for DB. I miss it.

I had a CP employee tell me in 2008 that CP was getting an Intamin Aquatrax coaster for 2009. Don't believe everything you hear.

I've waited 3 hours for Maverick at Cedar Point. TOTALLY worth it. I absolutely LOVE Maverick.

I had a chocolate vanilla swirl custard at CP last year (I got it somewhere in the back of the park, I can't remember the name of the place).. I agree, it was amazing. Far better than any ice cream I've ever had.

65 miles. I live north of Dayton in the Troy area. Takes me a little over an hour.

Those were Kat (violakat03)'s exact words last year! And "Why do they have no music on the carousel, but they play the carousel music up front by the entrance?" Seriously.. why do they have no music on the carousel, but they play the carousel music up front by the entrance?..

I've met so many amazing people from this website, from other websites, from KI and from other amusement parks, traveled to so many new parks and experienced so many different things in the world of amusement parks, from rides to events to random things to tears, laughter, photos, inside jokes, road trips, and music.. I don't even know where to begin with my biggest moment. I can't even begin to thank every one of you that made my 2009 trips worth talking about, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart.

That's where I first met Kat (violakat03), who is now one of my best friends.

What is the difference (pricing, benefits, etc.)? I plan to visit at least 3 Six Flags parks in 2010, and I am really not sure which one is the best buy. I don't plan to add parking to a pass, because I will likely be traveling with a few others who have parking on theirs. Thanks in advance.
