And so far I'd say we're enjoying him being retired just as much as he is.

Plus Demon Drop is a whole hell of a lot more unique in the way it operates as opposed to today's drop towers.
Re: Cedar Point | Gemini Midway Update | Disco & Flying Scoo
Let me stop you right there. Any structure that is so tall that it requires guy wires because it can't support itself, shouldn't be dropping people off the side of it.

So let me get this straight. You're saying that we should remove Power Tower, a ride that is 240 feet tall with a 60 foot dome (300 feet total), and for a 300 foot tower.
Re: Cedar Point | Gemini Midway Update | Disco & Flying Scoo
Wait wait wait wait. Did you just say a "very large drop tower"?
Power Tower. That is all.
I downloaded everything and checked it all out.
Lazers cool. The element is really, really neat. I took the liberty of attempting to fix things up, but I think it'd be best if you ran this idea through Newton.
Juggernaut is awesome. The support structure is very impressive; I think you...
What he said.
I guess watching the live stream of the Banshee announcement was pretty cool. It's awesome that we can all get so giddy over something so novel.
The first time I had ever ridden TTD was pretty terrifying. It was the tallest and fastest roller coaster in the WORLD at the time, and it launches with incredible force. I didn't know what to expect. Considering its still one of the only rides that can give me a hint of anxiousness, I say it's...
First drop tower was Power Tower at Cedar Point. My first time ever there, my first time ever at an amusement park. To this day I'm still afraid of heights and drop towers don't help, so imagine little 10 yr old me doing this for the first time.
Worst names? Look up "Cedar Fair"
Possessed.
Flight Deck... You do realize that a flight deck is literally just a runway on a boat? Right CF?
Drop Tower. Drop Zone was renamed to simply this
Time Warp
Surf Dog.
Backlot Stunt Coaster
Mantis... So you name a massive stand-up coaster after a...
^You didn't sit in the ejector seat on Magnum. 1st car, 3rd row. Maximum ejection. Granted, it's super painful ejection. Those old school lap bars are stiff and narrow and fall right into your mid-thigh. It's not for me anymore, my days of enjoying a roller coaster beatdown are over.
I did a small PowerPoint on the history way way back in I wanna say 9th grade. Of course I missed a lot of crucial milestones in coaster development, like up-stop wheels, but I hit most of the other stuff.
You can probably just use Wikipedia, I'm pretty sure there's a roller coaster history...
I've got to add Mean Streak to this, although, I did have a very decent ride earlier this year. It felt like the trims on the first drop were only half as hard as normal, and we soared through the first giant turn, where it normally crawls.
Also, I may have to add Blue Streak to this too...
Re: Cedar Point | Gemini Midway Update | Disco & Flying Scoo
I really like that more in the area is being absorbed into Camp Snoopy, with Jr Gemini and the Frog Hopper being renamed. A "lets not half-ass this" mentality, and I really commend that. The pic of the flyer in front of Gemini looks...
