Wow, that looks amazing. It's so nice of you to help teach the Jamaican kids. So how did you get there? Did you take a plane all the way to Jamaica?

SHOOT THE RAPIDS at Cedar Point
Brandon replied to firehawkboy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Beatle, it may be Sandusky.. but trust me, you do not want to swim in Lake Erie. Have you seen how green that water is and how much trash is in it? It also gets very hot up there during the summer.. I've been there on days where it hit almost 100 and the temps hovered in the mid 80s even after the sun went down. It seems that the northern natives are also used to the weather.. I've seen full boats of people on Snake River Falls on a 50 degree day. If you build it, they will come. The Cedar Point beach isn't that bad actually. It doesn't have much trash at all. I think it's actually very clean now, as indicated by all the bugs that have been up here all year. I actually consider it the best option if you want to go in the water at Cedar Point. As for the water inside the park, well that's a different story... -
SHOOT THE RAPIDS at Cedar Point
Brandon replied to firehawkboy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
But if they were to say you will get wet and then they came out with a coaster, would you be mad? None of the stuff they say is official, they are reporting it on Facebook and Twitter, that's really not an official press realease, it's just to get people talking. -
SHOOT THE RAPIDS at Cedar Point
Brandon replied to firehawkboy's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
It's actually funny watching some of you fight because you did not get exactly what you want. It's a new addition coming to Cedar Point, sure it's not a coaster, which almost all of us could admit that is what we truly wanted, but it's a new ride nontheless. My only complaint is that it is a soaker. I just don't see where they are trying to go with a soaker, they see the lines for Snake River Falls and Thunder Canyon. They are very low. I wish they would take out some of the drenching elements like the waterfall, and just add some more hills that don't get you drenched. -
Lightning Racer is my pick. Great turns, a lot of speed, and a great racing coaster in general. The Millennium Flyer trains only make it better, it feels like you're sitting on a sofa!

I don't think you should stop doing polls! I liked them and it was interesting seeing different people's views on the subject. Don't let a couple of people stop you from doing what you like to do.

^^&^^^ Me too, I already PMed them asking them to change it, but nothing has happened yet.

I went up to Canada's Wonderland this year, so yea I have.

Woman Getting Married to Fairground Ride
Brandon replied to goofywdw's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
She might not get jealous when other people ride it, but what if they were to say something like " I love that ride."? Would she not get mad then? Also, do you thinks she like, kisses the ride? -
How about Best SOB Topic? There are certainly plenty to choose from...

Any kind of Drop Tower ride freaks me out. No roller coaster really scares me, but as for thrilling, I think Griffon at Busch Gardens, Millennium, and Dragster give me the biggest thrill.
-
I think that Volcano is by far the best coaster there. I really enjoyed both Grizzly and Hurler too, although the rest of my family didn't, but I rode in the front seat of both and I found them to give smooth great rides. A night ride on Grizzly is a must, as it probably is the best night ride in the park.
-
Yea, Canada's Wonderland has a good coaster lineup, but only one standout coaster. The real treasures at Canada's Wonderland is the great variety of flat rides. They have many great ones, especially Sledgehammer and Shockwave.

Intresting CP Tweet
Brandon replied to PhantomTheater's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
Maverick may have ok capacity by the numbers, but it is definetly not a fast line. That line is actually one of the slowest in the park, IMO. I hate standing in it because it takes so long. -
1. Griffon 2. Millennium Force 3. Beast 4. Maverick 5. Volcano
-
I said Urgent Scare, but really any haunt would be fun to work in! I wish I could work there but I'm only 15 and it says you have to be 18 to be a monster...

It does look cool, kind of like a bigger Magnum more than Millie. Those bunny hills at the end with the tunnels really remind me of Magnum.

cedar point how to deal with bugs
Brandon replied to Mr. Coastermania's topic in Other Amusement Parks & Industry News
My advice is too sit in the front row and open your mouth wide open. You'll save some money on food that way. -
1. Manta(I don't think there's even a chance that it loses.) 2. Diamondback 3. Prowler I don't think Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit even looks good at all. Same thing with Ring Racer, it's basically Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka without the exciting huge hill. Yawn... Terminator seems too short for me, so I don't think it will win.
-
I actually think the bugs were way worse last year than this year. Last year, on one particular MF ride, my cousin's and my arms were both covered with bugs to the point where you could barely see skin. This year there is a lot less bugs, at least it seems that way to me. I don't really care about them, I think it makes the ride experience better.
-
I've been stuck on MaXair last year. A little over half way through the ride, it stopped spinning and was just going back and forth, until of course it stopped because of gravity. After the ride we just sat there for 30-45 minutes and they couldn't evacuate us because the floor wouldn't come up. That part hurt, because the restraint was so tight on me, and being a guy doesn't help! Finally, the mechanic arrived and fixed the ride. Because we got stuck, they let us go on again.
-
Honestly, I think Manta already has this thing won. I think Diamondback will come in 3rd or lower. From the people I've heard that have ridden all 3, most say that Manta is their favorite, Prowler is their 2nd, and Diamondback is 3rd. Ring Racer shouldn't even be considered. Also, has anyone heard a good thing about Dark Knight? I don't think that has a shot.
-
Looks like someone didn't study there amusement parks before doing this. Most of those are major parks and shouldn't be on the list. I mean come on Cedar Point? Voted best amusement park so many times, but underrated? Wow. The media is totally clueless about this stuff.

Mega Trip Report- Pa\rt 6-Georgia Aquarium- PHOTOS POSTED
Brandon replied to cassie_KY's topic in Trip Reports
The Georgia Aquarium is truly astounding. The whale sharks are amazing. Also, if you bring little kids, be ready to explain why the animals are "wrestling", if you know what I mean. I guess it happens when you mix male and female animals. All I know is I saw it a lot when I went. Did you happen to see those jellyfish that change colors? That was one of my favorites. -
It's going to be extremely hard to ride X4 at SFMM seems how it doesn't exist... I think you mean X2.
