Weekend trip a little over the top? Never go on a trip with Bubba then. ;)

I meant by money, but Bubba is nuts going to Houston and back in a day.

^those rides are not mediocre!

Ok. Magnum, Maverick and Blue Streak are above average... ;)


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

...and Wildcat...Don't forget Wildcat!

GADVwow, who thinks that is, by far, the second best coaster at Cedar Point

wildcat is a joy. But that ending is harsh.

We don't do lines so we won't be waiting an hour for anything.   ;)  My faves are Wicked Twister (first time they're having night ERT on it, I believe), TTD, and MF.  Can't stand Maverick due to the horrible OTSR's!

They should seem familiar, being as they are the same ones as found on the big green thing in New Jersey.

Oh, I know, which is way I also dislike KK.  The difference between KK and TTD is like night and day.

^^ I haven't had the chance to ride KK yet, but the thing that makes the OTSR bad on maverick for me is the harsh side to side banked turns. I would have to think on KK they would play less of a role. Any truth to this theory?

We'll have to wait for an answer from those who those restraints bother.  Meanwhile, the back seats of each car on Ka are much more vibratey than the fronts.  Must be all that extra structural support Ka has that TTD does not.  Gotta love New Jersey....

^The downward spiral is pretty harsh with the OTSRs.

I could see that. They bother me on Maverick. I can't say I notice them on Storm Runner, but I'm guessing it's cuz it's so insane I don't notice.

I'm trying hard to go to this event
well I got till May 5th to see
but airfare is always better to get early

just a quick look on Southwest
Early Fri 7am  - depart Monday
shows $89 each way into Louisville, KY    http://tinyurl.com/yf9rrwu

other on Farcomare and Kayak show $212 and up

FYI Columbus is $64  but about 190 mile from Louisville, KY
I flown into Columbus when it was $39 a few years back then hit Kings Island
but it was a long drive
