St Louis Blues- silver2005's Missouri TR and Planning (and more)

[silver2005]

I have to say, one underrated part of the CP layout is when you're circling clockwise on the loop, as you pass the Magnun station, there's that added sense of busyness after the quiet walk through Frontiertown that's underrated.

So yesterday at Cedar Point went mostly well.  Had a few snags like MF only running 2 trains all day, Siren having hiccups, Maverick being down until 5/6 pm, and an hour rain delay (didn't rain, but there was lightning in the area), but overall had a good day, especially the evening.

Today's forecast is all blah after 5, so I'm ditching CP (didn't ride any non-coasters unfortunately, was going to remedy that today), but I'm just going to chill on the lake today (my hotel is on the lakefront in Port Clinton).  Possibly wanted to do the R&RHOF again, but I'm to tired to drive to Cleveland and back.

Looks like you are having a great trip!

I might need a break from Cedar Point for a while.  I still rather like the park.  Its more about how they have rides designed to force supposed 'good' operations.  I know why Magnum and SteVe need to have faster loads and unloads, but its annoying the way the crews treat guests.  And while other rides don't have that, there's this arrogance that the staff has that's been rubbing off on me the wrong way my last few visits.  I'll probably swap in either Philly or Gatlinburg next summer instead (probably the former as I've been craving fountain ERT at Longwood, HP and Knoebels something fierce). 

I'm going to wait until July 4th to make my decision for Missouri.  At the very least, I'm planning on keeping SDC to get Thunderation before it bites the dust.  St Louis and KC are iffy depending on how gas prices go the next month (can't discuss further as it breaks KIC's TOS).  

Kentucky Kingdom will be some time before that in case I am making the push to 200 coasters ridden.
