Is The Beast from the future?
I think that was the idea behind seeing only the claws to begin with GYK; to not see. You can't see very much of it to this day, which may be why we have only ever seen the claws as it's a representation of The Beast itself.

Woodstock Express
Last time I was at Cedar Point and rode Cedar Creek Mine Ride, which has no leg room either, I was advised to cross my ankles and ride that way. It made for a much more comfortable ride. Not sure if that will work on Woodstock Express, but worth mentioning

Geauga Lake Protesting
Wonder if CF has been looking for potential buyers of the water park? (considering it's the only one they operate)

How much fun is the Delirium?
I love Delirium. I thought it was the same as maXair, except the aforementioned longer ride cycle on the one at Cedar Point. I am 5'11", 197 lbs and have no discomfort in riding Delirium. I've been on Delirium a few times and the ride experience was the same in different seats. The other plus for maXair is the line for it is far shorter than Delirium, or at least it was last time I went to Cedar Point.

Children Who Are or Seem to Be Afraid
I'm going to try the bribery route. Maybe offer to go to buy a souvenir if he will ride a ride. No matter what he decides, I'm sure we'll have a great day, and that's what I want to share with him.

Geauga lake.
Yes, Firehawk is the former X-Flight from GL. I rode it at Geauga Lake. I wanna say a black/bright green paint scheme

Busch Gardens Tampa: New ride watch
I think it looks to be a really cool addition for them. I'm not a huge fan of any coaster manufacturer. If it's fun, I'm in.

Four Children Injured on Carnival Ride
I don't do carnivals or any of those type places. I agree that taking apart and assembling these rides doesn't make me feel comfortable in the least, inspection or no.

Why does Joe Dirt come to mind?

Children Who Are or Seem to Be Afraid
I agree with you on Drop Tower. Good advice, folks. That was pretty cool of that supervisor to do that for that girl dtk.

Children Who Are or Seem to Be Afraid
I almost did this on my most recent visit to Camden Park. I wanted to get one lap on Big Dipper and my 6 year old son said he didn't want to ride. I started to drag him, but didn't because I wanted to do what he wanted to. Now, I'm wondering if I shouldn't have because he's been on it several times and likes it. He just isn't into night rides yet. We went on it after dark and I think the tunnel scared him. He hates the dark.

New 2016 coaster at SeaWorld to be Orlando’s tallest, fastest, longest.
I probably wouldn't trek down there just for that. I'd rather be there for what it's always been.

If you could bring back ONE ride.....
Out of those choices, I picked the Rotor. I always thought it was cool when the floor dropped out. I rode Son of Beast with and without the loop. The loop added so much more to the ride. It was really strange when the cars went through that section without the loop. I was like...booorriiinnng. I was going to mention Der Spinnin' Keggers as it was something the entire family can enjoy. Rode The Bat (original) and remember it as a pretty wild ride. Too bad the design was poor.

Kentucky Kingdom
Reminds me of "No soup for you!" This park only remotely interests me and not enough to go yet. It will probably be closed by the time I think it's time for a visit.

Surf Dog (Pleasantly Surprised)
I rode it when it was the previous Avatar ride, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I wanna get my son on it this year, if he will.

The Bat flies again at Kings Island
I like the current state of Camden, at least as far as the ownership goes. Hopefully, they will get some much needed TLC that it needs. I'd like to see them raze the bathrooms and get new ones. Those always seem to smell horrible. And some general painting could really help with the Big Dipper. And do something about the horrible smell that is in their water for the log flume and swan boats. Although, methinks that having fish in your swan boat water does not help that smell at all. I would love to take a lap on the log flume, but I don't want to deal with the smell afterwards. And something, anything, needs to go where the spider was. A fence blocking the view of what once was is not attractive at all. Flats seem to be their forte', so put something else in its' place. I give them great credit for adding the Rattler. Pretty thrilling ride and nice lighting package.

Cedar Point 2016 Talk
I saw the Today show. Savannah Guthrie rode Dragster and Rougarou while Jenna Bush Hager watched. She is pregnant, so that's why she didn't ride.

Boo Blasters on Boo Hill TLC
I would like to see Boo Blasters converted to a fun boat ride like Enchanted Voyage, but themed to Peanuts, come to think of it.

The Bat flies again at Kings Island
And it's a shame what happened to that coaster. How it was left to rot to pieces. That was a good addition for Camden because it had a small footprint and was not so an intimidating coaster that it frightened their demographic.

Things you first experienced at Kings Island
I agree Voicetek. KI has provided many great memories for me. I would say I have two separate sets. One set being from when I was a kid and enjoying HB land, many cool flat rides, being chicken of riding The Racer, catching a show, enjoying LaRosa's while just being enamored with the fountains and Eiffel Tower. I remember my grandparents going one year with us and I was too afraid to ride The Beast, which was new then, but it didn't stop my grandfather from riding. He really enjoyed it and for him, it was a record breaking experience. Then, I have great memories of teen to 30 years old. My teen years it was myself, my brother, and my two uncles who made every trip really fun. Great times riding only coasters and the more extreme flat rides. We always separated at one point because my uncles always wanted to catch a show and my brother and I wanted to get more laps in on the coasters. We would meet back after they caught a show to do some evening/night rides on The Beast, Vortex, and Racer.

For the record, Coke is better But then again, Mountain Dew is better than Mello Yello. Now, as far as choice in an amusement park, I would rather see Coke over Pepsi any day. Just my opinion

Kentucky Kingdom
Generally speaking, drop rides are popular, but I'm not sure after what happened there that they should have installed one. At least, not the timing of it. There are countless other flats that they could have chosen. I have never been to KK, and from all the negative publicity for the park via the accident plus the government involvement that is a huge mess, I have no intention of visiting there. I might go another year once the dust settles from all the political power plays.

I like Mello Yello, but it doesn't have the Dew kick

I believe Backlot's on-ride photo is on the launch out of the station.
