Seattle ... it's exciting in many other ways, but clearly a downgrade in coaster-ness from near CP or near SFOG.

Took the words right out of my mouth...well said ;)

Yeah, moving far away from any good coaster parks :(. On the other hand, I'll have a job, so that's good. At the moment, Great America, Carowinds, and King's Dominion are ones that I'm going to specifically make an effort to get to...we'll see what happens about any others. If CP6 has a spare...

Personally, I didn't find Prowler's position particularly surprising...I am kind of surprised El Toro is still beating T-express. I certainly agree with anyone else who doesn't think Diamondback is really a top-10 coaster, certainly not when Behemoth is nowhere to be found...no question in my...

^ But you do for drinking fountains. [Disclaimer: this post is trolling]

LftL: I don't think the loop was taken out because of injuries. I'm pretty sure it was because they wanted to put in lighter (i.e. Gerstlaurer) trains that weren't equipped to handle the loop.

Ah; this brings back memories from my early days here...at that time Oblivion was in the poll as well and we got to have a nice argue about that... Anyhow, I've now been on Sheikra, and I have to say, I prefer it to Griffon. And there was definitely a noticeable difference for me at least...

Yeah, so I hate line cutters, but it really got rubbed in yesterday when line cutters made the line long enough that I didn't get a ride on Flying Eagles @ Great America... Stupid jerks.

Well, now CP's fueling the speculation. Aquatrax would make a lot of business sense...CP hasn't had a new water ride in a while, but people also want a coaster. On the other hand, compared to what KD seems to have coming, it's almost disappointing.

It's an Aquatrax? http://twitter.com/cedarpoint

Alright; I'm feeling a bit silly, and furie's complaining about a lack of good topics, so here goes: Do you think it would be more fun to ride a mediocre Vekoma (ex: Ninja @ SFOG, any SLC except Hangman @ Wild Adv., etc) or get hit by a car going say 30-40mph while you're in a Sumo Suit (pic...

I'm only hearing the lift motor and the anti-rollback. If they are making a sound, it's not the loud clanks that I was talking about.

^ That's what I was trying to do, but someone (^^) wasn't playing along. Awesome tractor beats lawn.

^^ Nerd beaten by hot chick.

^ I'd be really surprised if it's perfectly synchronized to the rollback and also somehow managing not to produce a distinct enough sound that you can tell two different objects are making the noise.

^Right back 'atcha, bud...except reversed...er, yeah. :D

It wasn't when I was there... You can actually see it if you sit in the right place.

^ They are NOT literally the same thing, and you should not be using IMO to follow up a "literally". <rant>

Soon, BBW. :cry:

OK; going to buck the trend here. I very much enjoyed X:/ when we went on it. Granted, I haven't been subjected to all the hype or attempt at theming, so I really had no idea what to expect. I definitely enjoyed it more than a lot of Vekomas. To put it in perspective, the guy I was with...
