    I was just at Coney Island's site to check out their hours of operation this summer and found this: "Check back soon for the 2103 operating calendar." I like to plan ahead, but......

Not really an error, but the SEO text at the bottom of the homepage is pretty trite:

Kings Island is the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest. And for good reason. Start with the thrill rides. The 5,282-foot, 80-mph Diamondback roller coaster. The Beast that travels across a 35-acre site at 65 mph. WindSeeker, which takes you 301 feet above the park for an unparalleled swing ride. Then theres The Vortex, where you go through two vertical loops, one corkscrew, one boomerang turn and a 360-degree helix. Those alone are probably enough to make us the largest amusement park in the Midwest. Then theres the kid-centric fun like Planet Snoopy. Theres also Dinosaurs Alive! 60 life-sized dinos spread across seven acres of Jurassic thrills. Then theres what completes our being the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest Soak City. Huge slides, wave pools and rushing rivers. Its what makes us the largest amusement park and water park in the Midwest. Kings Island. Thrills Connect.

The purpose of this text is to ensure high search result rankings, not to be read by most visitors. Considering that it's visible on the page, less awkward wording would still be nice. It reads like a grade school paper rambling on to fill up the page.

Ouch. As a web developer, I always cringe at things like that, especially with so many free tools available to track and monitor searches these days (Google Analytics, QuantCast, etc.).

Not to mention largest amusement park in the Midwest? And what is Cedar Point? An animal park? MOST mentions add the "and water park." But, one does not...not like today's Cedar Point will be complaining.

Theres a few missed apostrophes as well. :)

Those are now fixed, and some hyphenation was added. Still just as corny, but at least the grammar's right.

Well, I found an error on The Vortex page. It's done twice, on both the "thrill rides" page and Vortex's own page.

"Adventure seekers roar through two vertical loops, one corkscrew, one boomerang turn, and a 360-degree helix."

Now, can you spot the problem with the above sentence...read below if you can't:

Vortex has TWO corkscrews, not one...unless something hath changed...but they still list the ride as having 6 inversions, so I geuss no...hope Don reads this and it gets fixed.

This has been brought up in the past, and I believe the park counts the two corkscrews as one.

According to RCT3, it's two corkscrews. Actually, four "large corkscrews" to be exact. :)

A strange thing I just noticed on KI's and CP's (and probably all other CF parks) web pages, is the picture banner on the top of the tickets page. It appears to show a roller coaster that I do not believe CF owns! I mean its possible that I'm wrong and please correct me if I am, but that looks like Six Flags' Viper or Great American Scream Machine. Just thought that was a little odd.

Looks like it to me. Can anybody clear this up?

I'm almost positive that the coaster above is Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia..... But I may be wrong.... and chugh43 may be right.......

If you look at the placement of the 3 loops in this picture and then the placement of the inversions in the Cedar Fair ad, they almost look identical........

Strange that they would bother to photoshop in what appears to be Maverick on the far left.

:o - What the heck, Cedar Fair?!

Lets forget about the dozens of rides that Cedar Fair own. Lets just take a photo from a crappy Six Flags ride and put in a Cedar Fair ad.

Sure, that makes sense!

I don't know why, but this moves me.

I know... but it's not done quite right, so you can tell where they just repeated the middle section of the image.
