Nice trip report, the Beach really seems to be a nice water park, much nicer than Soak City than from what I red. Also, who manages the park now?

I'm glad. For some reason I like to see roller coasters/ rides restored, that makes for one less depressing video on youtube.

Alrighty then. Burn it, burn it with fire... anyway.

Wait so you can see into the future? Witchcraft, burn it, burn it with fire.

Great! The Pictures are awesome.

And the answer is…. No...

I did not know that was at Kings Island. Learn something new everyday. The Dominator is at Kings Dominion.

So your sick of US bashing Intamin?!? Okay I will give you that it has been going back in forth, a little but you or Intamin aren't the victim here. There has been a lot of B&M bashing.

You can take the train over to Soak City, get off there, but Kings Island isn't arranged like Cedar Point, they pretty much have the one big parking lot in the front. No separate Entrances either other than the Soak City connection. So I would say just follow the signs to the Soak City Parking lot, take the train to Kings Island, do your stuff, take it back leave through Soak City, and have a wonderful day at Kings Island. Hope you have fun the advice given above is truly what you should try and do, we really know what we are talking about, even if that didn't make the sigh test bit sense to you.

I think if this ride decreases in ridership, I think they might do a mass removal of Invertigo, Congo Falls, Timber Wolf, and sadly Flight Deck. But I can definitely see a very nice ride streching across that area in the front of the park. But the majority of it is a straight line.

One of things about that ride is that it literally looms over guests as the walk through the entrance, just in that sense that it hypes people up before going is a big reason to keep it for me.

B&M doesn't have a wikipedia (sub)article about there incidents, because they are so minute if they are any at all. Intamin on the other hand…. Intamin Safety Records B&M's Incidents

Ow. I'm dead now.

Well than it couldn't be WindSeeker anymore, maybe "Oil Striker".

B&M designs/builds the roller coaster for a large sum of cash, doubt they care what the name is.

I think this has been said like at least a hundred times, but here it goes once more. Why can't you be happy with the 24 million dollar testament to human will, and you "died inside" because some statistic says it isn't better than some other ride.

Great report thanks for sharing.

And possibly something else...

Yeah, These incidents are definitely bringing on the: Intamin 20% off all Amusement Park Rides

The Amusement Park Industry. I Guess...

How many rides have they done investigations on because of these incidents?

So how does this riding 3 time consecutively on the brown train work? Teach me.

Hopefully Intamin will look at what happened to Arrow, and try and avoid a similar mistake. Competition is good, monopolies aren't.

I suppose I will be updating the "The Fan's Guide to Cedar Point" soon.

No, I don't think she NEEDS a Fastlane ticket, if she has 75-90 bucks to spare then go right ahead, but here is my guide to Cedar Point for help. Here is what I have to say. Basically follow everything these guys have to say. From what I observed rides that don't have super long lines: Wicked Twister: It usually a walk on, so if you passing by to Gatekeeper or something just take a peak at what the lines are like, I really like it, and I think it could help get you ready for the Dragster, but don't like ride this first cause I said that, I would still try and hit the big three first. Get the ones your nervous about out of the way so you don't have them looming over you all day. Gemini: Gemini is a must ride in my opinion, personally, though many will disagree, Gemini is one of, if not the best ride in the park. It ties Maverick for best ride in the park for me. It is normally a walk on. And it is a ride you can marathon if it is like normal. Mean Streak: I'm not sure about this but I feel like Mean Streak has rather short lines most of the time. Cedar Creek Mine Ride: If you enjoy Arrow Mine Trains, which judging by your profile photo you do, this might be worth checking out it is a pretty nice ride and not normally a long line. Shoot the Rapids: The line can get long on hot days but it is an awesome ride to cool off on. (People Dryers don't work) Blue Streak: Fun ride, very shaky though. As for the big ones you should check them all out. ​Millennium Force: The amusement todays best roller coaster in the world, that automatically should get you on it, but in my opinion is a little over rated, but it certainly is great ride and is defiantly worth riding. It can be intimidating, but deep down, as with every roller coaster (with some exceptions cough sonny) you know you are absolutely safe, and you know you'll love once on it, so push your self. You should probably ride this first IMO, enter through the marina entrance and just hop on, should be a some what short line if you do so. And as I have previously stated just do it, if you do it and the Dragster you can handle, everything else. Top Thrill Dragster: It's Fast, Tall and steep, that might be all what you hate but I promise you, you will love it. Standing there in line you can read signs that brag about how much Cedar Fair spent on the ride and how impressive it is(like North Korean Propaganda). But more importantly this an AWESOME ride and you can't miss it, unless it is down the entire three your there, sorry went off cause that is what happened the first time I went to Cedar Point, but coming back I rode it. I'm not going to lie it is pretty scary to sit there and wait for the launch but just "Keep you arms down, head back, and hold on", and then watch the lights so you know when it going to happen. Maverick: This is probably the best ride in the park. I really don't have anything else to say about it, other than to warn you ( you probably already know) when it enters the launch tunnel, it launches. It is just an all around great ride. Magnum: I personally wouldn't wait more than ten minutes for the ride, but you this being your first time, should probably hit it up and decide on your own what you think about it. I would follow all of the advise everyone else has given you, and you probably shouldn't sit in the back if you don't like having the crap beaten out of you. I'm not trying to scare you off (well maybe a little), you should ride, and see what you think about it. Gatekeeper: Cedar Point's newest attraction, very fun. I would suggest the left side over the right side (ridden both). From what I observed the lines are reasonably shorter in the evening. Everyone rushes to it after rope drop for some reason. It isn't super intense or anything but it does have some lovely elements that may catch you off guard. Really suggest trying to get to it at some point(not pun intended) in your day. Mantis: Never actually rode it, it doesn't seem like my kind of ride, but you might like it. Raptor: Fun ride, long lines. Me, personally, I'm not a huge fan of Inverts, but this a ride worth checking out lot of positive Gs if you like that, lots of inversions, and GREEN. So you should probably check it out later in the day if you don't want to waste your time wait in a huge line. Some other things to hit up. Cedar Downs: I personally love "the racing horses" they are quite fun and don't usually have a line. If you got some spare time it is worth checking out. Antique Cars, Cadillac Cars, Turnpike Cars: They are all pretty fun and relaxing and can some great views of certain rides. The Big Wheel: I've never been to Cedar Point with out a ride on the big wheel. It is relaxing and you can some great views and it is really just fun. The All Wheels Extreme Sports Show: The all wheel extreme show might be worth checking out, it is pretty cool. Skyhawk: I have always want to try Skyhawk, but I've never been able to catch it open, so if you see it running please ride it, for me. MaxAir: MaxAirs is pretty much like Delirium but spins a lot more. I think that is about it.
