I was thinking about wearing Banshee shirt to Carowinds and CP shirt to KD since I'm anxious to finally compare I305 to MF!

Okay, so I have not been to Carowinds or KD, but I will be at each this week. However, I have 3 CP shirts, 3 or 4 KI shirts, and a few SFOG shirts... are there unspoken rules that many prefer to follow? Of course, I will probably not take SFOG shirts with me since I will not be at a Six Flags...

So, I have only been stuck on a ride twice, and both occasions happened within the past year. August 2013 - In my first trip back to Cedar Point (and first time Elaine ever went there), all was well... until we got on Mantis! I do like Mantis (since it was my first stand-up coaster), but we...

We went to the Season Pass / Discover Card Sunday ERT event in June, and it was nice. They started to pass out wristbands at a specified spot in the park (actually in the section of the park where the two coasters ERTs were being held at) about 2 hours before close. Since SFOG closes at 8pm on...

I wonder how long Windseeker stayed up there - surely, those riders got some front of the line passes for a few rides (CP does that)!

I heard that happened... crazy stuff these days. We are glad nothing serious really happened!

That would be a weird order for a park to take, but, if all of the other (east of the Mississippi) CF parks are to get a hyper and maybe an eventual giga, KD would certainly have to get one at some point... maybe a hyper inverted or winged coaster? LoL!

I saw that too! This makes me wonder whether Cedar Fair will pull a switch-a-roo of sorts with Kings Dominion, potentially naming a future/upcoming hyper that they may build Fury and have the giga (at Carowinds) called Fury 325 in the same fashion that they have Intimidator at Carowinds ad I305...

We've been curious about that specific speed quote. Personally, I assume that the council members would not like to find out that they were initially told the ride would be 65mph only to find out later that it was about 30mph FASTER! Let's hope they are all coaster riders and demanding that...

That would be a bad feeling! Be sure to let me know how that all turns out!

It is definitely not 10 per day. I heard that it sold out on a few occasions during peak weekends, but they rarely do sell out. Here are some things to consider. First, how close are you to the park and when will you get a chance to go back? If it rains, will you go a different day? To save...

More Coasterthon Thoughts? As I mentioned before, we are riding Mindbender for 10 hours on June 13th, but it made me wonder which type of person would most easily complete any coaster marathon.... Is it more ideal to be a little heavier with some fat on you so that you might retain more water...

Great stuff!!

I am big into marathons and anything coasters. I have done a few already and know what I do to get ready, but I am always anxious to learn from others and implement accordingly. Currently, I am getting ready for the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Coasterthon - 9 to 10 hours on the...

Yeah... that sounds about right... I guess Elaine and I will have to rock that out too... did they recommend any order? I think I remember seeing that on Bert's show as well. Since Fast Lane is not on Wicked Twister, we will probably start there. However, [not that it matters - yet my OCD kicks...

That could have been it too! Do you recall if this was completely unofficial, or was it somehow embraced by CP in some official capacity?

Back when I was going to Cedar Point every summer and before Fast Lane (back when they just offered two quick line wrist stamps per person), I recall that CP had either an informal or somewhat formal challenge. I think you had to ride Wicked Twister, MF, and Top Thrill all within 1 hour...

Re: Old Cedar Point (Patriotic) Firework Evening Shows (Name I do recall that they added those pyro towers shortly after those videos... when I came back from Iraq in late spring of 2003, I recall going to CP and enjoying this show, but we did not get up close (I think we were riding some rides...

Re: Old Cedar Point (Patriotic) Firework Evening Shows (Name Hyde, I appreciate that and the links! I do know that all CF parks start with the National Anthem, but I think CP does it MUCH better than KI - CP does it before early entrance into the park and before ANYBODY goes into the park to...

Opening Day at Kings Island this year was crazy busy. The line to the newly-opened Banshee was already 4 hours merely 20 minutes after the gold and platinum season pass holders were permitted in. Now, that makes me wonder how crazy it was for GateKeeper Opening Day at CP and especially...
