CedarPointer

...

I don't smell a renovation. What I smell is a park trying to quietly decide a ride's fate without too much backlash. It'll go from "we haven't decided" to "it won't open in 2010" to "it won't operate for a few years" to "anyone want to buy a piece of it?". I wonder why it's still on the website...

I can certainly see how it would flood- up in Springboro/Centerville, there's tons of standing water where there shouldn't be, and the retention ponds near my house arre about 2 or 3ft higher than usual!

Hmm: so, it's an Intamin Family Coaster... with a "freefall drop" thrown in. I doubt it'll live up to the hype.

Best deal in the park? Backyard BBQ. Last year, the food was actually really good, fairly inexpensive, and there were free refills on soda. (of course, for the El Cheapo among us, I think the cheapest "real" food item in the park is Skyline's chili sandwich that's like $3 or so...)

Oooh, crap... that can't be good...

My *guess* would be that a few just love the elephant, most don't really care, and a few dislike it. However, the ones who don't really care might be happier without it.

And this is why we shouldn't have the wolves voting on whether or not to add a new fence around the sheep pasture...

I've actually been hit by a phone in that very spot. Imagine my shock! (and why I instinctively cover my head while passing that area and hearing a train coming!)

They finally announced it!

A ride need not get you absolutely soaked to be fun. I think we know why they want something there to get guests wet:

I'm fairly sure that Cedar Fair cares about the parks. We've gotten not one, but two new coasters within the few years that CF has owned the parks, let alone a new kids area theme and dark ride retheme for 2010.

The Vortex?

They probably removed them.

Looks like they are building a sign to me, but I could be wrong? Maybe it could be a big bucket of water that dumps on you. OH GOD NO.

Wow. That paint job on Linus Launcher (the name totally makes sense now!) has to be a joke... I wonder if RFYL is going to keep the peeing spitting coconuts in some fashion...

I'd love to see Kinzel do that! He'd have to go to CGA or KBF... he'd never be able to get away with it at CP or KI!

How could guests reach the decal on the back of the train?

No, really. I hope you're kidding.

Fixed! (sorry, old habits die hard. I'm kidding!)

Apple is horribly monopolistic, which is ironic considering their whining about MS's business practices. Karma is a you-know-what, Apple. R.I.P. Google Voice app... honestly, Google should sue the crap out of Apple.

It kind of reminds me of collecting powerups in Mario Kart, lol.

You're right. I can see the purpose of the first and third ones, but not the second one.

The only scene that would need major changes is the last sceen. As I recall, many of the Scooby-specific props were already shut off on 11/1/09. Since the last scene could easily be covered with black sheets and turned into some sort of generic "You did it!" room, I have a feeling that they're doing more major changes. The other problem scenes would be Scooby in bed (although that could just be shut off), and Shaggy at the organ (could be covered up or repainted to look like a different character).

I'd *love* to see a sort of GPS for it where you can put in what you're looking for (rides, merchandise, food items) and it could tell you where you could find it in the park.
