"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!

Screamscape is right about 50% of the time. The news is usually old. I find out info quicker by going to coasterbuzz. Then, about two days later, Screamscape posts the news that coasterbuzz already had.

"I think Top Gun's days are numbered and I look to see it gone by 08, if not sooner." Vortex is older than Top Gun, so it would be removed before TG. And, Vortex isn't going anywhere any time soon.

That was the point. There was no voting for anyone else.

Yeah, I did misunderstand what you were saying. SF failed miserably at trying to take on CP.

"Mod edit: I decided the Cuban election process wouldn't work on this one. Made yes and no options." You mean the last Iraq election before we invaded. If you remember it was between Saddam and not Saddam.

"Yeah--it certainly worked great for Six Flags taking on Cedar Point by buying Geauga Lake, huh?" First off, Cedar Fair bought Geauga Lake, not Cedar Point. CP is one park in the chain, the flagship park. You can't gauge what's going on with GL yet because they had one month to get GL ready last season, so, really this is their first full operating season. Not only that, they have to erase years of negative publicity and bad word of mouth that Six Flags created over how ever many years that they were in control of it. Not even the almighty Paramount Parks could have completely turned GL around after such a short time.

^Uhhh, two miles an hour is not going to make any significant difference. For the record, Delirium and maXair are the exact same ride. The only difference is one spins clockwise while the other counterclockwise.

^It is the only Giant Top Spin in the world. And, probably the last too if Huss doesn't figure out how to keep them going with less problems and better programming. On the other hand, Texas Twister is not a Giant Top Spin, just a regular Top Spin.

"Anyway I don't care what PKD is getting because I know I will never go there." So, why waste everyone's time with your useless post? We don't care what park you aren't going to visit.
