Interesting. It looks like this is a good year for people who don't like lines. You can spend a full day at Kennywood and their collection is just as good! If CP were ever to "clean house" (right) I hope they leave the flats and remove Mantis and corkscrew. Iron Dragon and Cedar Creek could go to. The coasters at the ends of the park don't suck.

^For real.  Only if MS had less trim brakes, a smaller queue and I could sit up front all day i'd take it over Raptor. lol... Oh, that, and throw in two extra hours of Joe cool and you have yourself a deal.

Mantis, Raptor and Mean Streak are all great rides! They way you would clean house is get rid of Corkscrew, Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport!

Maybe im just one of the few that enjoyed Mantis....

Disaster Transport?!?! The nerve of you.

The only coasters I'd consider getting rid of there are Mean Streak, Corkscrew and Millennium Force.

I'm just pickled tink that no one has mentioned getting rid of the Kitty.  I sure hope Cedar Fair feels the same way, particularly with the issues it has had this summer (which may or may not have been the coaster's fault, as opposed to operational/maintenance issues).

I love wildcat!

Something makes me think the issues were more human error and they've just done a good job keeping it low key.  How could a ride like that operate successfully for so many years and then have this happen?

I like MF but that's more my kind of ride :).  I also feel that maggy sucks with its triangle humps and all.  So obviously these things are more part of personal preference :D.  Mean streak would be decent if it didn't have those insane reduce-our-cost-to-operate-because-we-are-cheap trims.
