Legend Rider Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 So I visited CP A LOT this summer... and that faded out... Oh Boy!! Who's ready to experience the park!? Raptor, Demon Drop, Mantis, Millennium Force, maXair, Wicked Twister, Kiddy Kingdom! The Train, Calypso, Turnpike Cars! Back up... what? Thats right, a whole lot of "what does this mean?" as some of you may know, I operated coasters and rides at CP last year, and this year as well, and things didnt work out so well... so that mini list, is my Trained at list... certified to run each fully, less the engine staff, the kiddy kingdom carrousel, krazy kars, 4x4s, and sir rub a dubs tubs. Last year it was a much larger list... Magnum, Raptor, Power Tower... Wicked Twister, the Train and Top Thrill Dragster, Mantis, Demon Drop, Midway Carrousel, Skyride, Skyhawk, Gemini, Witches Wheel, Camp Snoopy, and the Monster, maXair... Yeah, I had my fun. so this year, I was pleased with Raptor's performance until the lift died, the crew got angry, and I was forced to leave the ride... new Home... Wicked Twister, I dont know what it was, but last year's crew made me feel more at home, this year was way better organized, but it just made me so bored, the best Crew night ever had happened there, and it was themed to Mario, and purely amazing. Request for transfer tooooooooooo... MANTIS! Thats right, we flip you upside down 4 times in 4 ways, OH BOY! whos ready to ride the mantis!? "Guests waiting in line, due to the rain we will be removing the 2nd train, once again, making your 2 hour wait into a 4 hour weight. (Riot in queue line) I know ya mad." It happens, Cedar Fair imposed a new rule after Maverick Openned, stating that all roller coasters should shut down for rain, if you would carry an umbrella in it, why run it!? So yeah... 1 train operation at any ride is boring, but it happens, and you deal with it... lines get long, people moan and *****... excuse me, what? Yes, *****y people, come on, you know it happens, everyone has seen a cursing sailor amusement park patron. "EXCUSE ME, CAN SOMEONE GET ME A TOWEL!? SOMEONE HAS ****ED ON MY SEAT!!" entire crew rolls with laughter... hey, it happens. Lets see, many times did I climb the 145 feet, and decob, climb the huge set of spirals for each of the B&M Beasts, it was kinda nice, except the whole, hold a paddle to face the oncoming sandusky wind, as a train approaches you in the block of raptor, not fun, had the train come, I would have cried... the stairs rumble and shake so much! same with Mantis, but thats a different story. So many social events happened, Ride Nights, DRAMA... yeah, CP, We know drama. so on to the actual rides... My evaluations as a whole for the 2007 season... Zone1: Raptor... Great, Smooth... scratch that, its getting rough, 7/10 Blue Streak: "This ride is better than sex" where else you going to get ten humps in under 2 minutes? 8/10 Calypso: I never thought a soundtrack could get so hilarious, calypso music all day... lol 7/10 Turnpikes: my first car ride at CP, interesting roadsters... lol 5/10 Skyride: it gets you from A to B and B to A, thats about it, and it gets kinda scary... 4/10 Demon Drop: I'm scared! b*tch is acting up, always... 4/10 Wow!

The Interpreter Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 Any man who adores Magnum XL 200 more than anything else in that park is a friend of mine! And thanks for the kudos for my favorite sleeper coaster in that park, the Kitty! Cedar Downs, anyone? (Yes, the one at Rye is faster and better, but Cedar Point's is available to a LOT more people).

Dvo Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Magnum and MF pwn the crap out of everything else in that park. But I do love me some CHAOS every now and then... You better put on a helmet so it doesnt make a mess when Chaos BLOWS YOUR MIND Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better put on a helmet so it doesnt make a mess when Chaos BLOWS YOUR MIND Magnum - YES, MF and TTD... you ride 'em once, you're pretty set. Last weekend I was up there and didn't ride either, but managed to squeeze in several rides on Magnum and Maverick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I`d tend to disagree with your sentiments regarding Millenium Force. I could ride that thing all day if I had the chance! The Force is one of my favorite steel coasters I`ve been on. I do agree with your sentiments about Top Thrill Dragster however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markr Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Dragster is the ultimate rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersNSich Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 If I were only allowed to one coaster at Cedar Point, it would be Gemini. I'd like to ride Millennium Force all day, but odds are, I'd be stuck in a long line, people- and time-wise. It's great, but a bit too much on the "popular side."

raptor Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 After all these years Magnum is still constantly ranked very very high, it is awesome, I think I have to make The force my favourite but magnum is a close close second, and the line is usually pretty short. One of the really awesome things about magnum is it is a sky scraper at 200 feet tall yet it has the old chain system that pulls you really slow up that huge hill, not to mention the view of the lake, the new coasters as awesome and high as they are go up the hill too fast to really take it in, I love that slow climb and I love that 2nd hill almost as tall as the first one.

Touchdown Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 The Magnum is by far my favorite coaster at CP. The thing is just fantastic, if I were allowed to have any coaster in my backyard (assuming I have one that would fit Magnum) it would be Magnum. Looking back retropectivly, thanks to the JC night (10 rides, no trims, in a row) I believe I rode Magnum over 50 times this season (12 visits.) It also is always my last ride of the night, just a classic airtime machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
