There's a big difference between overrated and getting tired of riding it. Any time you visit a park really frequently, all of the coasters and rides will start to get boring to you because you've been on them so many times. Don't go for a year or two and this should help. The Beast is not overrated. It is still considered one of the best in the world and I believe it's an ACE coaster classic.

Count me in as one of the p*ssed people if Racer is removed. However, others have posted the two main reasons it won't. Ace coaster classic and singlehandedly re-starting the coaster revolution. Let's not forget the other wild rumor that someone had their arm ripped off in the final tunnel/helix at the end of The Beast. Jennifer, you must be the resident PKIC hottie. I don't know how many guys have been typing GO BLACKHAWKS!!!! as the last thing they say when they probably don't know who the Blackhawks are.

I was not aware of this until I read it at Coasterbuzz, but, SOB's track is wider than most other woodies. That and the loop are two of the main reasons that SOB needs special trains. Also, I don't really notice Mean Streak shuffling back and forth, whereas Sonny does.

I haven't been either and was wondering what the big Hollywood makeover was.

It's not the track that needs fixing, it's those horrible trains. That's why you get that "jackhammering" effect. If you ever get the chance while riding, pay close attention to the train itself and watch how it shuffles back and forth. You don't get that on any other coaster. Another reason you may have had a smoother ride is due to the wheels. Since it's still the beginning of the season, I would say that they are new. This can greatly increas the smoothness of the ride.

Usually, rcdb.com has a ton of coasters, current and defunct. I was just trying to find a pic of Bavarian Beetle, but rcdb seems to be having a problem right now. I just went back to rcdb and they don't have any pics. I also tried Coasterbuzz, but no luck there either.

I don't know about the train stopping, but there were cowboys and indians fighting eachother.

Yeah, you're right. Although, I belong to Pointbuzz and Coasterbuzz and the height difference has been mentioned, but no one is really harping on it as a record or anything.

There's really no way to tell what the crowds will be like. Although, I haven't consulted the magic 8 ball yet. It's the same at any park. The weekdays are ususally slower than weekends.

"Oh, the Cedar Point people will use that 2 feet to their advantage in some way or another." If Cedar Point marketing was going to do that, it would have already been done. The alleged two feet hasn't even been mentioned. There's nothing wrong with saying it's the best spin cycle on the planet. It's really creative advertising. Look at their home page, there are several best _____ on the planet. It's nothing more than clever advertising.

Why not just use Mozilla Firefox web browser? Are you talking real pop-ups or placed ads on the front page? Firefox has a pop-up blocker and seems to be the best browser I have found.

Snapperhead, don't tell me to shut up. I was pointing out that you can't compare MF to Volcano because they are not even the same style coaster. Compare an invert to an invert or sit down to sit down. That makes sense. That's like saying The Beast kicked King Kobra's @ss. That's a really stupid comparison, the same as what you're doing. I do want to ride Volcano, however, I have found that most people's opinion of that ride is that it's boring and way too short. Millennium Force is not even my favorite coaster, it's Raptor.

I would love to ride Volcano. However, you are comparing two completely different styles of coasters. Now, compare Volcano to Raptor and you've got something there to compare.

Calm down, Kenban. If you look at some similar threads around here, you'll see that Paramount is just thinking of breaking that division of their company off from the rest. It's likely that nothing will change.

"6. Grown men riding any attraction ascribed to Scooby Doo (without their offspring); " No offense, but I grew up on Scooby Doo. Granted, I am 33, but there's nothing wrong with liking the Doo. Although, I've still yet to ride SDATHC. But, I'm planning on it this year. I have been on the Ghoster Coaster, but it was with my niece and I probably wouldn't have if it had been just me. Now SDATHC on the other hand, I would ride alone or with my coaster buddy.

I wouldn't put all of my faith into what something screamscape has to say. They might be right about this one, but there are better sources for rumors.

No, it has great speed and the overbanked turns are insane!

Nudges Snapper. Intamin made Volcano. Not only that, I serously doubt it could kick MF's butt!

"Even Universal stopped plans for a Van Helsig ride after that movie did not perform well last summer." That really sucks then. I thought Van Helsing was an awesome movie.

I like the Addams Family coaster idea. However, like holeinone said, I wouldn't mind seeing that tilt coaster from the survey as well.

A B&M dive machine would be entirely too wide to pull off the Addams Family coaster.

^Good call. "The soundtrack provides nostalgia for a generation that can't ride the thing anymore, perhaps?" Perhaps, but I doubt it. I'm not anywhere near not being able to ride any ride and TG was popular when I was a teen.

Yeah, but King Kobra had problems which have nothing to do with age. Neither TG or Vortex have any problems like KC did. That's why KC was removed. And, that's why the're here to stay.

"I can't believe how many Huss engineers post to this board. ..matt" You don't have to be a Huss engineer to know about the ride parking faster and the floor moving faster. Especially since it's been testing and those two facts are all over the net.

"the fish tailing sucks then. SoB fishtails more." Man, you are really clueless, aren't you. SOB fishtails more? The lesson learned here people is Drugs are Bad!
