fan of beast Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 our trip to CP was much better than our last one. raptor was a good ride. mantis was ok. magnum is one of the smoothest coasters i ever rode. gemini about killed me. it is really jerky. meanstreak is smooth for a woodie. i was too big for MF, but my daughter said it was the best coaster in the world. i'll have to take her word for it or go on a serious diet. TTD is an absolute thrill. we got on it first thing this morning. who needs coffee to wake up when you can get on a ride like that. i saved the best for last. maverick is by far my new most favorite coaster i've ridden. the only thing i could think was why don't we have something like that at KI. the ice skating show there is nowhere near the quality of endless summer at KI. as i've said before, the employee's at KI are much friendlier than CP's. i've read here about differences with maxx pass benefits at different parks. we got free parking which i didn't think was part of our benefits. we also got in early today with ert on TTD. the weekday crowds there were more like weekends at KI. we were hoping for smaller crowds being a weekday.

The Interpreter Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Maverick is awesome! If you fit Top Thrill Dragster, you should have fit at least some of the seats on Millennium Force. The seat belts are not, sad to say, the same size from seat to seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Weekdays at CP tend to be packed just like weekends in July and August. I think it is because CP is more of a tourist destination than KI where people take long term vacations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersNSich Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I'm sure many would disagree with you about Magnum... however the severe airtime coming back makes up for it! Gemini, however, I don't have problems with it like others would. It's my favorite at CP because it's just so much fun! Maverick seems to be a close, CLOSE second though.

The seat belts are not, sad to say, the same size from seat to seat. It seems like a lot of people are being denied entry on Millennium Force incorrectly. I have a bit of a middle age spread but I have always been able to get on the ride. After you fasten your seat belt they require you to pull on it until the black part is pulled 1 inch. Sometimes after it rains I find it is harder to pull on the belt because of its dampness. I have seen people who do not seem to be much thicker than myself in the waist being not allowed to ride. I agree with Interpreter that often it has nothing to do with the size of the person but a problem with the seat belt. Park Operations really needs to get involved more in this issue.
