KIBeast Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Yeah, except there are no random programs for TR:TR. It's the same thing over and over. And, it's not that exciting to begin with. Wicked Twister was definitely the better ride. At least it works consistently. It's said that CP is not kid friendly? Have you ever spent any time near any of the kids' areas? They are nearly always packed. I'm not saying that CP's is as good as PKI, but they are definitely kid friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleHenry Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 This topic was started by stupid people just so stupid people would feel smart. Please close this topic, because it is just making them seem even more stupid. Just because Wicked Twister is the biggest doesn't mean it is the best. Same with TTD, and it isn't the biggest anymore. And DON'T JUDGE A RIDE THAT HASN'T OPENED YET!!! GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 And, Uncle Henry makes an @ss of himself, again. How may times can Uncle Henry repeat himself with the same stupid picture? It remains to be seen. Not one person in this thread has put down IJ:ST. I have been on two impulses and thought WT was the better. TTD is awesome with the 120mph launch and 420ft drop. My only complaint with TTD is the ride duration, but I can look over that. Have you even been on TTD or WT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncleHenry Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 1. That's the first time I've ever used that picture. 2. People putting down IJST 3. No, I have not been on WT or TTD, but I have not once said that they suck. I have just said that there are rides exactly like them at other parks. I have ridden Xcelerator at KBF which is like TTD, and I enjoyed it, but that does not deny the fact that Kingda Ka is EXACTLY like TTD just with a air time hill. 4. WT Clone #1 WT Clone #2 WT Clone #3 WT Clone #4 WT Clone #5 WT Clone #6 Just because it's bigger and has a second twist (big whoop) doesn't make it better than all of these.

KIBeast Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Well, then someone else has used that picture and it wasn't funny the first time. Anyway, I was stating my opinion that WT is a better impulse than the others. Certainly better than sub-par raider, I don't care how original it is. It's plain boring.

Stop sayin IJ:ST is gonna suck so what CP has coasters and this may be a shock there are better parks out there with better attractions Iam not saying CP sucks but just because they have big coasters doesnt mean they are the best.

discodude Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 OK there is NO way that Son of Beast is better then Millennium Force. I like Son of Beast, but come on. That is a very narrow minded statement. Millennium Force is fast and actually very smooth, set on the side of a beautiful lake, and generally has an excellent capacity. Son of Beast is fun and tall, but not at all re rideable. Look at the line for Son of Beast since it debuted in 2000. Not counting BAFFD, what's the last time the line has been over 2 hrs? Millennium Force gets 2 hr lines all the time and is one of if not the most popular coaster at Cedar Point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker8388 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 That's my main complaint with MF though is the line length( besides the need of some more air time) but the last three times I've been to CP the line always is over 2 hours. I mean I always wait because it's my favorite steel, but in all honesty I would rather wait the 15 to 20 minutes for SOB and get to ride it 6 times instead of the one trip on MF. I don't know why your saying line length makes MF better, I personally hate lines and if I could would buy a theme park just for myself and friends so I wouldn't have to wait.

docdude316 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Cedar Point WILL, AT LEAST FOR AWHILE, DESTROY Kings Island IN ANY AND EVERY ASPECT!!!!!!! I'm just going to say one more thing about this quote. Until CP gets even a children's area that's not total crap it will never beat PKI in each and every aspect. Now I think that both places are great parks, but they both have their strengths and weaknesses. As someone already said CP is the place to go for coasters. PKI is the place to go for a more well rounded experience, and it's probably the closest we'll get to a Orlando style amusement park in this area. I don't think it needs to be one vs the other. They both compliment each other well and really pull from different demographics. In fact I'd say that PKI's main competitor is probably Six flags Kentucky Kingdom not CP.

KIBeast Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 At least when you're waiting in line at CP, the lines constantly move. AT PKI you get stuck in one place for the longest time. That's why they get voted best capacity every year. All of their lines are almost always moving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvesterofyoursorrow Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Uncle Henry, I belive the WT at CP is the final product. The other were prototypes making sure that the design worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Snapper Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 2000: SOB vs MF - TIE 2001: RR:RR vs nothing - PKI 2002: TR:TR vs Wicked Twister - CP 2003: Delirium/SDATHC vs TTD - Probably CP 2004: CD:BB vs nothing - PKI 2005: IJ:ST vs MaxAir - PKI Wicked Twister is no way near better than TR:TR. I even sat in the very back seat which is supposed to be the most intense seat on the ride and I just felt like I was floating which would just get old for repeat riders. TR:TR on the other hand won't get old to repeat riders because of the endless programing possiblites( a random program would be nice). IJ:ST vs MaxAir how do you know even that IJST will be better than MaxAir since IJ:ST isnt even open yet? Get a life WT kicks TRTR rides as$! At least WT is up most of the time unlike your fav ride.

I went to CP 5 times this year and it was only operating once, the other days I have no clue why it wasn't working but it never was, heck TTD seemed to operate more. Plus if you rode WT the first year you know that it dosen't operate to its full potential any more. The launch speed has been reduced because the towers shoke to much.

discodude Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 The line length is a reflection of the ride's popularity and quality. (assuming it is getting optimal capacity) Also, if you have ever ridden Wicked Twister in the last few rows, it is obvious that it is so much better then TRTR. TRTR CAN switch its program, but when is the last time that was done? It has been running the same program for the past two years. Reliablility has also always been an issue with TRTR.

KIBeast Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 " The line length is a reflection of the ride's popularity and quality." Most of the time, that's the case. Unless it just breaks down often...cough...TR:TR...or...TTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Punk Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 BULL CRAP! Some rides just have bad capacity and always have long lines like TR:TR and Face Off. But next years coaster will follow that rule, at least the length of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechtoid_2.0 Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Nick Central needs an Expansion PKI has held on the the golden ticket for some time now and they are not gonna let that go I wouldnt look for a big coaster until 2007 or 2008.That area (behind FOF)your talking about has been rumored to be the grounds of a new dark ride themed to the addams family so please dont get your hopes up for coaster because after IJ:ST it will be a while. hey you never know but the next big coaster isn't going behind FOF trust me i Know for a fact that it isn't.

According to the most recent Fortune 500 Viacom is 64th on the list with annual earnings of $26.585 billion dollars, Cedar Fair dosen't even make the list.

familyman Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 I know I have said this before but CP is lad locked. It is a huge challenge to add a new attraction up there. On the other hand PKI has plenty of room. The sad truth for those CP fans is it’s only a matter of time before PKI has more coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterXtreme Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hello I just have one thing to say on this topic and that is this..........Jeff Seibert said in his speech a couple of things 1. Being that the better the park does the better we do by getting bigger and better things. The way the park is going with attendance I would say bigger and better things are on the way for us! Who really know what they are going to do from minute to another. Parks have put coasters in back to back many times there is no rules for park or trends! Parks like PKI set the trends I think PKI will keep us guess every year to come. It start back in 1972 and continue today........ 2. There is something else they have not told us.....Another announcement coming. Thank Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
