What's new

Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

I'm in the exact same spot @llCoasterN3rdll , so I know how busy your schedule can be. Obviously you can't go on these massive road trips all the time, but you can try to work amusement parks into your pre-existing trips. The trick I used is that I convinced my family to take me to a park that's near a College I want to visit. So when I went to Iowa State, I hit up Adventureland on the way. When I went to Purdue, I went to Holiday World and Kentucky Kingdom. It's not too hard to convince them and only adds a day to your trip, if not just a few hours. Once we get out of school, then we'd be able to have much more freedom. :)

By the way, good luck with Cross Country and the ACT!
Thank you. I'm actually in the midst of track season right now. Usually if I do well in the 800m or get first, my dad will surprise me with a trip to Cedar Point (we have a platinum pass so we basically go every week when it is open during the school year). The nice thing is, because we get there pretty late (4/5PM) when he takes me after a XC or Track meet, he buys the Fast Lane Plus every time we go (which is around 9-10 times a year)
 
A few years ago when I was doing college visits my parents gave me one theme park in exchange for each college visit I did. We did Duke and UNC (which I now attend) for KD and Carowinds and BGW for William and Mary.

My family isn't big into themeparks so they don't like going. It's much better now that I have a job and can go on my own as I can finally get to the parks I've been wanting to go to for a long time.
 
New blog post from Tony about his ride!

I can't really travel because I am still in high school and I don't have parents like Taylor Bybee's who literally take him all around the country to ride roller coasters. They have the money to but they don't want to. I'm not like you where you're 30 with a paying job and able to go on roller coaster trips in or outside the United States at your will.
Watch it buddy. I’m good friends with him and have actually done several trips with him and I can assure you that isn’t the case. Don’t talk **** when you don’t know **** bro.

Wow! That's cool! Have you ever appeared in one of his videos, out of interest? I'm a huge fan of Taylor's channel!

Anyway, about Tony Clark's blog post, it's very encouraging to see him give it that level of praise. I know that he can't really slag it off, as it's his ride, but his review seemed very honest and very technical, with lots of comparisons to other rides, so his review has instilled me with great faith that Steel Vengeance will be fantastic!
 
Whelp..........that doesnt look to lose its pace at all.

August needs to hurry up and get here.

This thing will only get faster! Hopefully reassuring of anyone left with pacing concern.
