Some Things I Noticed 6/14/12

I went to the park for the day, crowds weren't too bad and I got to ride nearly everything. Some things I noticed:

Dodgem is running the best ever, they felt faster and smoother. Easily the best ride I have had on them.

Diamondback's helix support is much larger now, two supports now go out to the middle of the helix.

I had a little time to waste, so my friend and I rode Flying Ace Aerial Chase. The crew running the ride at 9:40 at night was very energetic and funny. I love when they interact with the guests!

Finally, there were groups of people there that were of the, "I can do what I want," variety. When I rode my usual Beast night ride, I got off and saw a security officer talking to some 19 year olds. From what I know, one was smoking a cigarette on the ride. I could tell from what him and his group were yelling. They yelled, "FU*K SECURITY," "I'm 19, I can do whatever I want." I glanced at their picture and saw him smoking the cig and his friend showing the bird to the camera. They also were riled up at a man who was wearing a Cedar Point single rider shirt for saying he was going to call security on them, which was the complete right thing to do. When we walked out the gates, I saw these fine gentlemen, the man in the single rider shirt, and a security officer. They were obviously yelling at the security guard and the man about how they can do whatever they want. As I walked away, I saw more security approach. These are the kind of people who can make a day unenjoyable, and it dissapoints me that there are people out there that act like this. I hope that they got a proper punishment, but with their attitude, I doubt that they learned a lesson.

I thought donkeys were not allowed in the park?

I was wondering about that on Weds...looked like they had done more than just pour fresh concrete. I didn't remember what the supports were like there previously.

Oh, brand new supports were put in? Do tell.

It's sad that there are people who think this way, having what they think of a funny and great experience at the expense of everyone else's. Other than that incident, glad you had a good trip.

Earlier in the day I was surprised with crowds...45 minute wait for Flight of Fear and 45 for Firehawk!

Thanks for the report! Interesting that you say that the Dodgems are running better; I'll have to give them another try soon. Though I can't wait for these bumper cars to open up; they sound infinitely more interesting.

That place looks amazing...how come nobody has said anything about it?

I hope it does better than Krazy City.

^^Where is that?

[jcgoble3]

It's in Dayton, just south of the I-75/I-70 interchange (see their directions page). As to why nothing's been said about it, it's still under construction. They're hoping to open sometime this summer. You can take a look at their active Facebook page here.

I meant that two of the concrete supports were extended out to the center.
