Given the past track record I'd again say uhmmmm.... NO

KCKC had that sweet ass station too. I loved working there.

I'd say uhmmm..... NO

I say let it rest. They're just sparks.

Well isn't that a big enough hint that they just MIGHT be accepting reservations in the campground for the 05 season?

Actually, you could see the top of Dragster from our room but we weren't worried about that. We wanted a view of the lake more than anything....And I know The Beast doesn't have any airtime Derek. That's why I said that.

Rate was around 260 a night. The rate included lodging, five wristbands for the waterpark, microwave, refridgerator, and a roll away bed for the fifth person to sleep on. Oh and our kick ass view from the balcony. Split between five people it ran us about 55 bucks a person, which isn't too bad.

Hmmmm....It's the middle of winter, its 10 frickin degrees outside, and five peeps from the Nati and Dayton are bored out of their minds. "Lets go to the indoor waterpark thingy Cedar Point just built" says me. One month later, myself, my hot ass girlfriend Sarah, my sister Brittany, Chris, and his girlfriend Rachel are in Sandusky at the brand spankin new Castaway Bay indoor waterpark resort. I will go into the hotel a tad but I will mostly talk about the waterpark. The hotel itself is the "old" Radisson Harbor Inn. Now I don't know who owned the property while it was called Radisson Harbor Inn but now the place is called "Castaway Bay" and has been Cedar Fair-ized with hanging nametags on all the employees and even the Dragster station auto spiel guy makes an appearence at the wave pool. The hotel itself is very colorful and pretty. Upon entering the hotel, you run into a giant shipwreck complete with talking parrots and a crow at the top, of all places, the crows nest. All in all, they did a very good job with the upgardes and improvements. Now, onto the waterpark.... Lets see here, there's one of those giant bucket waterplay area things, a Master blaster water coaster, three enclosed water slides, a wave pool, an activity pool,kiddy pool, and a giant hot tub that goes indoors and outdoors. Put that on top of excellent themeing, friendly staff, and the Cedar Point mentality of actually having rides that are thrilling(yes folks, even their waterslides kick ass), and you have one bad ass indoor waterpark. The giant bucket thing is quiet impressive and is great to just sit back and watch. The water coaster and the water slides were the highlight though. All I have to say is I probably pulled more G's on the yellow enclosed slide then I did on The Racer. Yeah, it's that intense. The water coaster rocks with even more airtime than The Beast. The wave pool is by no means as big KI's but it does the job and does it just right, complete with waterfalls and rocky cliffs. All is good except for one thing. I don't know if it was me but after awhile in the wave pool and hot tub, my eyes started to become very irritated. So bad to the point where I had to leave the waterpark area at times. However, not even that can make me say bad things about Castaway Bay. The place is just awesome. Myself and the gang look forward to making this trip a yearly thing. Congrats Cedar Fair, you have yet another winner on your hands. As always, here are the pics. Castaway Bay Photos Special thanks goes out to my awesome girlfriend who let me use her much nicer than mine Digital Camera seeing how I forgot mine back in Dayton.

Honestly? I think big obtrusive ride anywhere near the front or sides of the Eiffel Tower would be a horrible idea. It would take away from the beauty of International Street IMHO. When I'm standing at the front gate and looking towards the Eiffel Tower I want to see the tower and the buildings lineing(sp?) International Street, not some mechanical eye sore that wouldn't even work right to begin with...

Nah, too many lockout locks.

Are you serious?

Dude, get over it! It's $20! You paid almost that much for just one Best Buy shirt. No I'm not going to get over it. It's hard too when every year it seems like we get perks taken away from us. Any grizzeled vet can vouch for me.

Maybe they'll find a buyer who doesn't make their employees pay for their uniforms?

Egh....I like our paint scheme better...So far

They, Huss, same thing...Too bad Will's not there to fix it.

Nobody important.

Geesh...Does it really matter people?

Yeah we usually stick the questionable sends out there...And it's infield. Stupid sends.

Actually Knotts Berry Farm built one a few months ago.

You act like it's hard Tom. There's nothing Tech Services does that can't be compared to Ride Ops.

I'm not "derbeast" but I think his point was, the more rides that are made by the same company, the easier it is for our maintenance(sp?) crew...You also forgot the part where derbeast said "This is all my specualtion" and nowhere does he claim to be a spelling bee champion. So pull your underwear out of your butt crack.

To all you haters out there; it's called change, get over it...I'm sorry but there's no "history" in the campground. Oh and there's no sewer system behind SOB. Trust me, I've been back there.

What's that song by Justin Timberlake?...Cry Me a River?...Yeah that's it

05 looks to be another good year for me. You all know how I made that big trip to Pennslyvania and NYC? Well we are doing the same thing but we are going to California! Oh and we are flying. The parks we are looking to hit are SFMM, KBF, PGA, SFMW...I'm alos looking to make a trip up north to hit PCW and Martins Fantasy Island. Indiana Beach looks to be one on the map too. As for parks I've been too, Dorney is a definate due to the fact Hydra is looking to be one hell of a ride. Talon alone is worth the trip out there but now that Hydra is shaping up to rock, it just makes it that much better. GL looks to be one to go this year since CF has had time to figure things out up there. I'll also do the usual HW,SFKK,CP. Oh and PKI
