Ride On_17

Or you could do what PointBuzz did for the offseason tour last year. Charge admission, but give all proceeds to Give Kids the World.

I signed up for the KICLUB texts. And now that I've thought about it, I wouldn't mind having a coaster with blue supports. If those supports turn out to be going to KI, what do you think the track color would be? I still think purple track would look cool, especially along with blue supports.

Some people may complain about them, but they should realize it's for their own safety. It's better to be safe than to run the risk of injury or worse.

^^^See, that's where classification could get interesting. I still call WT an Impulse, even though it technically is an Inverted Hyper. These classifications can get way too complicated than necessary at times, so sometimes during discussions like these I just try to slowly back away

If this new rides turns out to be and invert over 200 feet, I'll call in an Inverted Hyper. If it's an invert less than 200 feet, I'll just call it an invert. If it's not an invert but is between 200-300 feet, I'll just call it a hyper. People can call it whatever they want, but if it's a combination of an invert and a hyper, then I personally will call it an Inverted Hyper. I don't care what anyone else wants to call it or what their definition of a certain type of ride is. Everyone has their own opinion and that's what matters.

If it's over 200 feet, why not call it an inverted hyper? Might as well give the ride its own classification.

It's probably a water ride.I saw a Skelton bored on a bored hence bored to death Bored on a bored? What?

I've overcome the "guy" problem on Mantis, but I just hate it since it really gets me nauseated. Standups are the only coasters that actually come close to getting me sick. I'd ride Mean Streak any day over Mantis. It's my least favorite coaster of all time.

Basically something like Corkscrew. Not too tall, not too fast, and could be the stepping stone serving as someone's 1st looping coaster. A ride that the whole family could go on together. Granted a little kid wouldn't be able to ride, but it wouldn't have a min. heigh above 48 inches.

Yeah, I will admit MS is rougher than Corkscrew. But I still think Corkscrew is rough. I even think Gemini is starting to get rougher and bumpier, but I'd be sad if the park removes that ride any time soon. Plus now we have so many newer coasters that are as smooth as butter, so a lot of older rides probably seem rougher once you ride a smooth new coaster.

I stand corrected. I'm surprised there are that many, but I guess I've never really thought of any invert with so few inversions. Thanks for clarifying silver2005.

Oh, no, not another Corkscrew lover! I just think it's boring and is rough. The worst parts about Corkscrew are...the Corkscrews! With a new family looping coaster, the park could keep the iconic corkscrews over the midway, but give it a longer ride time, make it more exciting, and best of all, make it smoother.

Not that I know of.

^That's for sure! Sometimes it really drives me crazy, but that's alright.

Post #22: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?/topic/27849-KICentral-server-change-complete/ But you can still see who's reading what as seen in The Interpreter's link in post #21, but not while you're on a topic. I'll miss that, but it's not something that's very important. EDIT: Beat by jcgoble3

These are just my own opinions and are in no way based on any evidence, but since this thread just seems to be about our opinions, I'll fire away. This one doesn't necessarily call for the complete demolition, but I'd love for Mean Streak to get the RMC treatment. It has so much potential but is just so rough. Sometime in the near future I'd also like to see Corkscrew removed (hold on a sec, all you Corkscrew lovers--I'll expand my idea shortly), since it's just way too rough and short for me to like it. In addition to this coaster being removed, I'd also like to see Gold Dorms, Wardrobe, and Maintenance buildings razed and moved off point. There's already been talk that all the employee housing will be moved off the peninsula soon, and with the new maintenance building off site, I could easily see this happening. Imagine the large area available to use if Corkscrew, along with these neighboring buildings, would be demolished. This picture was posted on PointBuzz a little while back by Rcoaster10, and gives a good perspective of the site. Now back to those who want Corkscrew to stay. With this large space, I could see a new family looping coaster be added. I'd want it to give a nod to Corkscrew by having 2 corkscrews over the midway, but it would have a longer layout by using some of the land currently used by dorms, maintenance, etc. It would be smooth and would have an overall better ride experience. In addition to a new small family coaster, I also think this area has room for several flat rides. Maybe 1 or 2 family flats and 1 more thrilling flat. A third idea I have, and one that I know many other people have, is to build a midway connecting Celebration Plaza with the Blue Streak plaza. It would bring new life into this area, give Blue Streak a higher ridership since right now it's tucked away, and several new rides and coasters could be added. Once again, here's another photoshopped image from Rcoaster10 that shows what could fit in this area. In this pic, he has Sheikra, Goliath, and Skyhawk and Monster to show how 2 flats could also fit. I personally love this idea. Turnpike Cars and Cadillac Cars would have to be removed, but there would still be Antique Cars in the park. I never understood why the park has 3 of these types of ride. Also Perimeter road would be shifted and Cedars dorms would be demolished and moved off point.

That reminds me, I haven't seen that movie in a while. Time for a Jumanji movie night!

Too bad that same commercial was shown and modified for Cedar Point's HalloWeeekends... But it would have been cool if that was the 1st hint.

Ok that's what I thought. It just seems to happen so much. Almost once every time I go to the park, at least that I know of.

I wonder how it will be before Cedar Point announces the changes for HalloWeekends. It's been confirmed that there will be at least 1 new haunt this year.

I'm curious about what Board to Death is about. There could be many things. My first thought was that it would be pirate related, but now I'm not so sure. I could be abouyt a boarding school, carpentry, or even boarding a train or a plane. Now after I typed that I'm guessing the premise will be you will board either a train or a plane, and will encounter terrifying things while on your journey.

No, unfortunately I never got a chance to go on CP&LE railroad and didn't take any pics, but while I was in line for Millennium I saw Judy K go by and thought of you

^I've never heard that before. Then why, when the ride stops, does it take 20 minutes to get it started again? And someone has to go in the elevator up the lift to the train? I still think it's because of seat belt issues. I was told this by a park worker before. Not sure if they were joking or if this is the case. If there's anyone on here who knows for sure, please let me know.

What I find sad is how people are now associating this death at other places. For example at Cedar Point yesterday halfway up the lift on Millennium Force these girls behind me were talking about this accident, and about how they hoped they wouldn't fall out. An even worse one yesterday was when a Millennium train stopped on the lift hill (it does that a lot, and I've found it sometimes it happens if a seatbelt gets unbuckled), and some kids in line behind me kept saying that they thought it stopped since someone fell out. This accident in Texas has sparked fear everywhere.

And I forgot to mention this in the report, but I saw someone there with a shirt that said "U Mad Bro?" and couldn't help but think of you, YoungStud.
