CoasterXtreme Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks for looking at my PTR See you on the MidWay! Quote
Tom76257 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Very nice pictures. I especially like how you caught Raptor going through its loop and Blue Streak going up its lift hill in the same shot. The one with all of Mantis's twisted steel is also an eye catcher. Quote
indianapolisman Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 I take it your the silent type Great pictures, I can see Maverick, and Wicked Twister have people on board. What about Millie, was it running at all? Quote

Well the reason I got blue streak in the picture was because it went down and they had to do a walk down. My favorite picture I got was Maxair with Raptor behind it! Quote

paperg Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 hmmm, there's room somewhere for KI to get that ride.... Maybe the next ride they get???? I like the looks of that.... Quote
PhantomTheater Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 If anyone has seen a giant ball fountain, please return it to CP's main midway. Quote
DaveStroem Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 must be mantis twisted steel, thats going straight up, then down, I suppose??? I have never been to CP & probly never will.

The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 If anyone has seen a giant ball fountain, please return it to CP's main midway. It won't be returning. GREAT pictures! Makes even me want to head north for a great adventure at a Cedar Fair park! Quote

It is heavily trimmed to the point of being boring..... Quote
The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 And painful. That thing is not good for the legs, and the restraint system is among the worst ever designed, comfort-wise, in my humble opinion.... Quote

Makes even me want to head north for a great adventure at a Cedar Fair park! Please do we have a lot of debt to pay down! Visit often and spend mad money! I know I have been doing my part as I have been two CP Twice and they only opened a week ago and I will be at the Island on Tuesday for my first visit of the season. Quote
dare-to-fly Posted May 24, 2009 Posted May 24, 2009 Well, what do you know! We were there on the same day! I'm hoping to get a TR posted soon, but it's not looking very promising. Tuesday's downtime was obscene, but it was still a fun day. I didn't notice that they had to have an evac on Blue Streak, though I did pick up on the fact that they seem to have screwed up the electrical system on Blue. I'd pay big bucks to trade places and get to walk down the lift hill. An evac of any ride is very appealing to me, though I'd prefer the top of lift 2 on The Beast. I had no fewer than 3 of KI's managers/supervisors mention to me that they had seen me at Cedar Point. If any of you see me at any point in any park for any reason - say something! I don't bite!

Yes there were things going down, but they did get them back up....It was far better than Saturday when I was in the park! We left at 3:00pm due the park getting full and all the down time on all the bigger coasters made wait time way to long at the other coasters that were open. Over all it was a pretty day, so it gave me a chance to get some really Great Photos! I have an evac of Maverick in 2007 when the power we off in the back of the park. Had to climb down a 12ft ladder in the tunnel! That was a lot of fun, we sat in the tunnel for about 30 mins before they started to let us get off!, So I am one of the few that can say they have ridden Maverick 42.5 times! LOL Quote
kittenpooh Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 I love your pictures. I hope to make it up there some time this year! Quote
