malem Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Because you have pictures of yourself on this forum, thus allowing me to recognize you, do you feel I am I required to introduce myself to you while I am on my personal excursion? Of course not. I have recognized people from photos at Kings Island, on many occasions. I generally don't introduce myself unless I'm reasonably certain that the individual would like me to. (Or if it's at an enthusiast event.) If you do see me again, feel free to say "Hi". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Back VII Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 They didn't list Gilroy Gardens! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 ^Gilroy Gardens is a different animal. It is (if I'm not mistaken) a non-profit organization owned by the city of Gilroy, CA but operated by Cedar Fair under contract. A Platinum Pass will NOT (to my knowledge) gain you admission to Gilroy Gardens. Now that that's out of the way, I have only been to two Cedar Fair parks outside Ohio, and only one that is outside Ohio and in the United States. However, with the parks I've visited in the chain, my favorite besides Kings Island has a roller coaster that shares a name with a song from an artist who was very popular in the early 1980s. Though I enjoyed it, this roller coaster did not make me cry "more, more more". Figure that one out. For what it's worth, if Cedar Point were introduced into the poll options, my answer would not change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VekomaRulz Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 From the choices listed I have been to King's Dominion, Canada's Wonderland and Dorney Park. Dorney Park is my favorite of the 3 with a really nice water park, short lines on the ride side and some fun coasters such as Talon and Steel Force. I haven't been to King's Dominion in years and my last 2 trips to the park were not good with bad operations, long lines and some rude employees. I need to give the park another chance espeically since I haven't ridden Intimidator 305 yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMC01 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It was between KD and Carowinds for me (since I've only been to Michigan's Adventure, KD and Carowinds- in addition to KI and Cedar Point of course! ) and I chose Carowinds as I've been there twice (I only went to MI and KD once) and I remember it being fun. That being said, I would love to go back to KD (as I enjoyed myself there) to ride Dominator and The Crypt. I've also never been to Canada's Wonderland and would love to go there someday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DontWantToWait42mar0 Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Kings Island is the only Cedar Fair park I have been inside of. I drove by Cedar Point once years ago, which is why it would have been my second choice. I did get a Platinum Pass this season so maybe I'll visit a different CF park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that's why just like it. Also, when going into the turn, hyperventilate so you don't black out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Also, when going into the turn, hyperventilate so you don't black out. That should not be required on ANY ride in this day and age. If one must take a specific action at a specific time to avoid G-LOC (hi Devan and Terpy ), then the coaster is poorly designed. And in this day and age of computer modeling and designs, there is no excuse for that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banshee Back VII Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 That's exactly what I think too. I think it is a tad better than Kings Island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride On_17 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Considering the only Cedar Fair parks I've been to are Cedar Point, Kings Island, and Dorney (and 2 of those aren't options), I'd go with Dorney. 2 words: Steel Force. Probably THE smoothest coaster I've ever been on. Combine this with lots of airtime, and it's simply amazing. Plus there's Demon Drop... It may seem like a small, boring park, but it has a nice collection of rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 ...and fantastic pizza! And a Whip! And Talon and a Platinum Passholder from the District of Columbia! It also has a hill.... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
