I'll do a knotts berry farm review, since I go a lot. :]
the roller coasters are put best to worst.

1. silver bullet-Ima sucker for a B&M invert. this ride is fantastic, extremely smooth and the best coaster in the park, in my opinion. there is MASSIVE airtime on the over-banked turn. the zero-g roll always goes great as well. but the real highlight is the helix at the end, because it is SO FREAKING INTENSE. its awesome. the only thing I don't like is the first drop, because it doesn't really swoop enough. it's actually more rct-style. :]
2. xcelerator-Like every other launched coaster, you get a little nervous once you step in the car about to ride. you're sitting there, a little scared, waiting for that green light to flash (its like a dragster race, it goes red red red green). all of a sudden-red. another red. red again. you're nervous and freaked out off your mind. you're having a panic attack. but then, your off! you're accelerating to 80 mph, and then all of a sudden-wait, this isn't so bad. OMFG THIS IS AWESOME! and thats xcelerator.
3. ghost rider-well, ghost rider, is, uhh, painful. its fun, but painful. the first drop is effing sweet, but then, ouhhoohhhohhhuhhhohhooooohhhhhh! AIRTI-ooouhhhohhhohh-AIRTIME!! ouch. thats basically the whole ride. It's actually pretty fun towards the end, more than the beginning. but you can't go to knotts and not do ghost rider. unless you're injured already. hehe :)
4. sierra sidewinder-now this ride is frickin' fun. I mean its so enjoyable. its just the shortest dang ride ever! its like 15 seconds! but seriously, if you're feeling good, head over towards silver bullet's cobra roll and take a quick spin on sierra sidewinder.
5. montezuma's revenge-not much to say here. when I first rode it, I never thought a backwards loop could be so trippy :p. It's a pretty fun ride.
6. pony express-this ride is not worth the wait. its a very dull ride thats only fun for a couple of seconds until its done. the only real thing thats good about this ride is the seats. they were cool.
7. boomerang-just your typical rough painful vekoma boomerang. fin.
8. jaguar-I accidently tripped my friend and he landed on the floor with a twisted ankle because the queue is SO DARK!!!!anyways, it's an ok ride, I guess. a great kiddie ride. its really long, so thats good too. but really, if you like the more extreme rides, then jaguar's not for you.
9. timberland twister-just a normal short little kiddie. :)

thats about it :]

Discovery Kingdom, Last Wednesday

Q-Bots were used. They are unequivocally and undeniably made of win. End of story.

Medusa-8.5/10 Running great as ever, and still clinging to my top 10 list!

Kong-7.9/10-Still not kicking the crap out of me, miracle of miracles! :)

Boomerang: Coast to Coaster-4.2/10-"Owch" and "Damn, I'm gonna be sick" spring to mind.
V2-8/10-Returned to full glory, ride ops were funny as ever!

ROAR-8.3/10-Joy. Pure, unequivocal joy. Pity I only rode it once.

Tony Hawk's Big Sping-6.7/10-Breaks running at 400 psi, felt like was intentionally having my stomach pumped.

Hammerhead (inverted kamikaze)-5/10-Slightly dull, the hangtime saved it!

-Bumper Cars-5,000,000/10-Having the ride op stop the thing mid ride, take a bumper car with one *******'s girlfriend, and ramming that car into his at mach one with the in-line crowd chanting "ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!" was win. As in ubarsuperomglolzwin.

-Tazmanian Devil-7/10-Spun like a beast, swung like a playground.

-Monsoon Falls-6.8/10-Eh, I like the themeing. The ride itself is rather meh.

-White Water Safari-7.8/10-Hooray for not hitting the waterfall this time, and a great way to blow $10 (water cannoning unsuspecting riders, in the face no less! :D)

Hope you don't mind if I give you my two trip reports for the summer. :)

Six Flags Great America (7/21)

American Eagle - It was closed until around 2 pm, but I don't know why. I waited almost an hour and a half in line and found out they were only using one of the dueling tracks. Dumb. It was still very fun. Fast with lots of airtime. The train before us had a restraint fail and the guy sitting in the seat got off before the ride stopped, but they kept it running. :D 8/10
Batman: The Ride - Always a classic. Your typical Six Flags B&M invert, Batman. It also had a short wait, maybe 10 minutes. 7/10
Dark Knight - It was a fun ride, but felt a little short. For an indoor 'dark ride' there wasn't much to see. 6/10
Demon - Kind of a short ride. Before the MCBR it's very fun, after, it gets pretty rough. 6/10
Iron Wolf - It's B&M's first and it's the first stand-up. It's fun, but has very rough transitions. 5/10
Raging Bull - One of the best coaster's I've ever ridden. Soooo fun! 10/10
Superman: Ultimate Flight - I waited and hour and a half and it broke down for 15 minutes, I'm not sure why. Very fun, especially due to the fact you can 'fly' like superman. Kind of a short ride for the wait. The pretzel loop is awesome! 9/10
Vertical Velocity - Nothing too amazing, but still enjoyable. 7/10
Viper - My favorite wooden coaster so far. It's very fast, the turns throw you to the side of the car, and you experience airtime for literally 50% of the ride! 10/10
Whizzer - Old school ride. The spiral lift is neat. It's pretty quick and it's a shorter ride, but it's very fun. 7/10

Overall, it wasn't too busy. None of the coasters were 'bad', but some of the flat rides were kind of boring.

Six Flags St. Louis (5/26)

Batman: The Ride - It is exactly the same as the above Batman: The Ride except that it is a mirror image and has more theming. 7/10
The Boss - Very tall, very long, very fast, very rough. For me, it's almost too rough to even enjoy the ride. 5/10
Evel Knievel - Second best wooden coaster I've ridden after Viper. Fast and smooth, but not alot of airtime. Plus it's GCI! 9/10
Mr. Freeze - A slightly lengthy wait, but worth it. The launch is quick, the inverted top hot is awesome and going through it backwards is CRAZY! 8/10
Ninja - Never has a line more than 10 minutes. I really like it although it's somewhat rough. When I went I rode 9 times without getting off the ride! And the ride dispatcher was a pretty girl who said, "It black and white and full of fright, but have no fear, you're out of here. Enjoy your ride on the Ninja!" Awesome! 8/10
River King Mine Train - It's a very mild ride. Very fun as a relaxing coaster. 7/10
Screamin' Eagle - It's a simple out and back woodie, pretty fast, plenty of airtime. Because it goes through the woods, we saw a deer about 10 feet from the track on the last little dip before the brake run. 7/10

We went on a crappy day, overcast some sprinkles, but no rain. There were hardly any lines. Once again, not really and 'bad' rides. Although, I think the Boss should be either replaced or retracked by another GCI. ;)

I'll do a KI one, since I go there far too often. :p

Invertigo: Fun, but kind of rough. 5/10.

Flight Deck: It's a suspended, but it actually is really fun. If there's no wait, it's worth it. 7/10.

Son of Beast: I think everyone knows my thoughts on SoB. 1/10.

Adventure Express: This is a good ride, but it'd be so much better if they actually tried to make the tunnels *not* smell like dead animals. There's been a dead bird in Lift 2 since opening day! But, since it's a good ride, 8/10.

The Racer: Why do they have trims?! It would be *so* much better without them... and if it still had recaR. 5/10.

Vortex: You *have* to sit in 5-1. Or 7-1. Or 1-1. Otherwise you need Advil. But, especially in 5-1, it's a great ride. 9/10.

Backlot Stunt Coaster: Short, but fun. 7/10.

The Beast: Besides the trims, I can't think of anything I don't like about The Beast! 10/10.

Diamondback: Airtime. Row 3. 10/10.

Rugrats Runaway Reptar: VEKOMA HANG AND BANG JR! It was horrible. 2/10.

Fairly Odd Coaster: Fun, but why are there trims on a KIDDIE COASTER? 6/10.

Six Flags New England!

Bizarro: Pefect! A couple breakdowns in the morning but every ride evet and the soundtrack are perfect. This is going to keep its #1 this year. 10/10

Flashback: Needs the new boomerang trains so right now, it still brain bashes you. Long Lines. 4/10

Pandemonium: Longer line than Flashback. Still a good ride to cool you off from the spinning. Too short. 6/10

Cyclone: Breaks Down in morning and opens later most days. I think they are going to replace the track on that soon. But not the layout. The layout is perfect. A bit bumpy in some parts. 6/10

Mind Eraser: More Brain Bashing from a Vekoma SLC. Longer line than Batman. 4/10

Batman The Ride (Dark Knight): Perfect as always, never changed and its still smooth. Needs a new batman cardboard picture because batman has bird poop all over him. 9/10

Michigan's Adventure

Shivering Timbers: Excellent ride, great floater air all over. Pretty smooth too, wherever you sit. The helix at the end is good in the back (and probably front too) but felt unessecary in the middle. Overall a 9.5/10

Corkscrew: Not a good ride. Short, uncomfortable, boring, ugly station with water dripping from the roof. This is one of my least favorite rides now, there's not much good about it. 2/10

Wolverine Wildcat: This one actually suprised me. It isn't really rough at all, just not the most exciting coaster. It does have some good airtime in places though and some of the turns are fun. 7/10

Zach's Zoomer: Pretty much the same a standard kiddie woodie. On par with Fairly Odd Coaster, but this one has a less ugly color scheme and has no wait, so I guess it's slightly better. 6/10

Thunderhawk: Bad ride. This was my first SLC, and suprisingly there
wasn't all that much headbanging through the inversions, but it still skakes your upper body around like pretty much every other ride of its type. The ride isn't really exciting at all execpt for the first drop. However, it has a beautiful station and well landscaped queue. The ride feels pretty new overall. 3/10

Crazy Mouse (or whatever its called): Suprisingly fun. Some good air, turns were fun as always. I guess I just dig these rides. 8/10

Knoebels

Twister- Fun and has some great airtime in the back seat and is not rough at all! Its good just overshadowed by Phoenix!

Phoenix- Now its my opinion that this ride is better then El Toro, great airtime! If you sit is seat 1-3 you will get awsome airtime on those last bunny hills, and on the turnarounds (No Joke!) If you sit in the back seat, you get extreme airtime on the double up and double down, and thrown out of your seat airtime on the first drop!

Knoebels itself, this park is.... I don't know how to describe it.... Its got a kind of charm to it that puts most parks to shame and it has more flat rides then the average Six Flags park! Now the location is really nice, with a stream running in the middle of it and it being nestled in the mountains. The Flat rides are all insane with my favorite being the Downdraft and the food is great! Where else can you get a Steak, fries and texas toast for only $10! And it was quality food! It tasted like something that should cost $20! But it was only 10. Also I got a crabcake and fries for only $6!

The people who work at the park seem like they really do care about how your day is going, and one of the construction workers even went up to my mom and explained why Flying Turns was taking so long to build and how they were fixing it! (She was not complaining, the contruction worker just went up to her after she saw her looking at the ride!)

I'm off to Alton Towers so I will be sure to get some reviews :)

Wild 1

08-13-2009, 01:46 PM

Since I don't have any pictures I thought I would do one of my many Hershey Reviews here. This one is from August 12th aka yesterday.

We got to the park and the first thing we noticed... The parking lot was completely full! Now this could not be good.... Turns out there was a Blink 182 concert today and it just so happens that I could not find any info on it on hershey's site, so I had no idea that it was today!

After battleing the line to get into the park we first went to Comet and proptley avoided the ride when we saw the line. Not only were all the switchbacks filled, they had set up temporary ones in the midway and those were filled also! At least an hour wait if not more... So we did not ride it.

Then are second chance was Sooperdooperlooper and something happened that I have never seen before... The line was filled... The whole line including the switchbacks, this is a ride that I have never seen a line for out of the station on crowded days! We waited 20 minutes and got on, it was ok.

Next was Trailblazer, because while on Looper I saw the line for Great Bear... All the switchbacks were filled and it was spilling out into the midway, we knew it would be more then an hour wait for Great Bear, we went to the next closest coaster, Trailblazer, which had the shortest line in the park, 5 minutes! (Later that day I saw the line go into the switchbacks for the ride).

Then Sidewinder to get the credit, I have been to the park many times but I have always avoided this ride, until now. It is the worst coaster in the park hands down, I had a headache for a half an hour and not to mention that it was just terrible... When you hear GP complaining about there heads when they get off a ride you know it is a bad ride, it was even worse then Tidal Wave at OCMD, at least that was rerideable!

Then lunch, where I had a good roast beef sub down in frontier town. It was nice and good food, for park food!

Next up was Lightning Racer in the back seat, I was in Thunder. The ride is still fun, if not intense, and the line was 15 minutes! Not bad for that ride.

Then Wildcat, with a 45 minute line... After waiting 30 minutes... The line stopped.. We wondered why, but then it turned out that one of the ride ops had passed out! I waited 5 minutes extra for the front seat and it was awsome! It was running quite smooth! And fun!

Then was Storm Runner... I have never ridden this ride due to many factors, mostly the fact it is ALWAYS done when I vist. Well not this time, I waited an hour for it and the saddest thing happened... There was this little kid, no more then 8 or so, was forced on the ride by his mom! He was crying and wanted to get off, the ride ops opened his restraint and... HIS MOM FORCED IT BACK DOWN. She basicly forced him on it, and then when it came back he was still crying, people should not force kids on rides, plain and simple! It was an awsome ride though, one of the best I have ridden, though I still like Phoenix and El Toro better. It tops my top ten steel list!

Then was Bumper Cars, which were fun. Then it rained, a lot. We left because we were going to leave anyway, and we got soaked on the mad dash to the car. It was fun.

Fury of the Nile: Breaks down often, but as of late the water jets and rapids actually get you wet. 7/10

Mamba: Smooth for a Morgan hyper, loaded with airtime, slow on the bunnies due to trims 8/10

*Rates parks that you won't usually visit*

Janfusun...well, there's good and bad. The good is that there's two amazing B&M coasters! The bad news is...there's a lot of walking, stair climbing, and long escalators. I cannot explain how hilly the terrain of the park is, causing you to enter the park on ground level, going up an escalator, down a "Lombard Street" kind of path, then up more stairs to Diving Machine G5. If you want to get on the rest of the rides, you'll need to either trek down a long winding pathway, or take a set of three lengthy escalators that acraphobics would practically die on.

Since there's only two 'big' coasters, I'll just rate and review those...

Diving Machine G5 - Well, it was a...good coaster, to say the least. The lift was slow and built suspense, and the drop...it was actually built into a cliffside. So you hang over the edge of the mountains, dive down into a valley and under a tunnel, then soar back up over the mountainside to finish the ride. It's not like Oblivion - the 179 foot drop is exposed, not like Oblivion where it's enclosed for a good deal of the drop. While it's a short ride, it is easy to re-ride if there's no line, but when there is a line (usually in the mornings) then it's not really worth any wait.

Rating: 6/10

Insane Speed/Crazy Coaster - Till this date, I have absolutely no idea what the name of this coaster is supposed to be. The thing that I really like about it is that the drop is a straight drop, not a swooping one, which gives a lot of airtime in the back - almost as much as on a hyper, no kidding. The loop has a little bit of a rumble, but the swooping right past the queue path makes up for that as you're thrown into the dive loop element, which gives you a mindbending view of the awaiting riders. You'll then do two 180-degree turns, and then dive off providing more airtime in the back as you roar thru the interlocking corkscrews. Besides one little nudge after the second flatspin, those are headbanger-free. Finally, it's an intense helix (almost as intense as Silver Bullet's!) and the final brakes. Overall, it's a great ride that fits into the fairly compact space that the park was given. Good job B&M!

Rating: 9/10

This was back in 2007, but I'll do one for SFOG.

Goliath- Beastly ride. 200ft but feels like 250. Althought the first drop is only 170, the 2nd is 175, meaning that you are going top speed after the second hill. First turn is fast, pull a few G's. Air time hills are great. 540 helix is amazing, banked at about 75-80+ degrees, it really owns. More air-times. Over-banked horseshoe turn is fun. small hills. Overall, 9/10.

Georgia Scorcher- Put your feet to the fire! All around good ride. Kicker on top of the lift tricks you, then you hit the big drop. Loop and hammerhead are fast and fun, although you pull 5 G's. Twisty layout makes up for lack of inversions. Overall, 7/10.

Ninja- Do not ride! Feels like being attacked by a black-belt in karate. 4/10.

Deja Vu- Pwnage. 9/10. 'nuff said.

Great American Scream Machine- Rough and fun. WARNING: Do not hold fist to chin as my friend did on the first drop. 7/10. 9/10 considering age.

Mindbender- A good ride, nothing special, but flying through the trees after the 1st and before the 2nd loop is fun! 8/10.

Batman- Cloned too much. Very fun though. 9/10.

Superman- Best ride in the park! Very well worth the wait, if you don't mind constant breakdowns... 10/10.

Overall- Park is nice, hot, but what do you expect in Atlanta in June? 8/10.

Six Flags New England!

Batman The Ride (Dark Knight): Perfect as always, never changed and its still smooth. Needs a new batman cardboard picture because batman has bird poop all over him. 9/10

I'm actually shocked you gave that a 9. Thats like the worst B&M I've ridden. Its not a horrible ride but its too short to enjoy it. I'd give it a 6.5-7/10.

Six Flags Great Adventure

Kingda Ka: Down for whoever know how long. Would have been nice to ride it but.....

El Toro: There isn't enough words of praise that can be said about El Toro! I prefer the front seat, you get JUST as much airtime as the back, you get the great view of the first drop, the headchoppers are more fun and everything. Just the best air time on this. Still my number one, you can't beat it! They also shot fireworks off while we were riding which was cool. That one air time hill right before the s curve is just insane. 10/10

Nitro: Another great ride! Rode in the front seat and its just awesome, love that fast feeling you get. My vision when black on the helix before the breakrun which is always fun. I wish it had a little more ejector air though 8.5-9/10

Bizarro: AWESOME. Every piece of theming is placed so well, very wise choices on the part of six flags. The fire shooting at you through the dive loop is such an awesome idea. The auger of doom is the best headchopper ever. The cutouts actually look cool. Front row is great for this. A lot of fun at night too. Such a vast improvement from Medusa. I'd give Medusa a 7/10. Bizarro gets a 9/10.

Superman Ultimate Flight: I'm a fan of flyers, what can I say? Sat in the very back and I just love being whipped around in those inversions. Pretzel loop is awesome the way you're dragged over it in the back. 7.5/10

Runaway Mine Train: Fun but not great. Typical mine train really, although I do like how it goes over the water at the end. 6/10

Batman The Ride: God this ride is just so intense. I love inverts! Really intense ride though, you need to ride one of these clones, pretty good theming here too. 7.5/10

The Dark Knight: Okay so I like the pre show, thats cool. The queue is themed pretty well, but the ride does lack. It needs more theming inside the actual ride. Its still fun. I'll give it a 6.5/10.

Skull Mountain: Rode it in the back, and that was fun. Getting whipped over all the drops is nice when you can't see it coming. 6.5/10

Rolling Thunder: Only rode one side. WHY on earth do they run BOTH sides but DO NOT race them?! Thats the dumbest idea ever. I give it a 5/10

Great American Scream Machine: Skipped it! :p

I might have even forgot a coaster but oh well. I would really love to see this place get a Dive Machine.

I'll do my six flags great america review

American Eagle-This ride was pretty good. I first thought it was going to be like colossus, but it was way better. loads of airtime, but a little bad with the design. the helix is so effing loud!!!! 7.5/10

Batman the ride-Just your typical batman, just like every other one. smooth, intense, and fun. 7/10

Demon-I would level corkscrew at cedar point and Demon at the same level I guess. just a bunch of head bangin fun :]6.5/10

Iron Wolf-Worst.B&M.Ever. If you're a real coaster freak, you wont skip this ride, considering its the first B&M ever built. It turns out its the worst B&M ever built. It's very rough on the groin area, as well with the head. If you like roller coasters enough to ride it do it, but if not, DONT. 4.5/10

Raging Bull-The only B&M hyper I've been on, but this is a DAMN good coaster. without a doubt the smoothest coaster I've been on, and is deliciously twisted :p amazing airtime as well. the best part of the ride is the turnaround near american eagle. you have to take the edge seat. it is an awesome experience. If this was the worst B&M hyper, imagine what the best is!! 9.5/10

Vertical velocity-I rode wicked twister before this, so I wasnt totally excited by this ride. I mean its great, the launch is exhilarating and the spike's airtime is awesome, but wicked twister is still better. It is definitely a must ride though :up: 8/10

Viper-OMFG THE BEST RIDE IN ZA PARK. this ride is sooooo freaking good. THERE IS SO MUCH AIRTIME!!!!!!!! no matter how long the line is wait!! it is smooth, fun, fast, an has a ridiculous amount of airtime. my favorite woodie of all time. 10/10

Superman the ultimate flight-This ride is pretty good, but compared to tatsu, its nothing. If its your first flyer, I guarantee you'll love it. It's a little short, but definitely smooth and enjoyable. make sure not to follow the crowd when you get there. go straight to the back of the park and do superman at the end of the day. 7/10

Went to CP this sunday.. I'll review.

Raptor - 8/10 great ride. Still very smooth, I always think the Cobra Rolls is a little rough though. Love the last helix at the end, front is the best seat! (IMO)

Blue Streak - 6/10 running great this year! Still love going on it, and how it always has a walk-on. =P

Disaster Transport - 2/10 boo. What the hell is the theme of this ride again? Jurassic Park to Alaska? :noob::p

Wicked Twister - 8/10 shortish ride, but still very fun and intense. Love the front seat, it's very cool except you don't go high at all when you're looking down. If you're more of a looking down person, I personally like the 2nd or 4th last rows. Right sides!

Iron Dragon - 3/10 yawn. Piece of crap.

Millennium Force - 8/10 love the front seat. But, went in the very last row and I thought it was awesome. I love the pull you get on every hill! Still missing that airtime. If it had it it'd probably be at least 9/10. But I love going fast on it. =P

Mantis - 5/10. Haven't really been on it this year because my friend won't go on it..

Maverick - 10/10. Still a very good, smooth ride (if you know how to ride it =P). I've only been in the front seat this year, really want to go in the back but my friend never wants to. =\

Meanstreak - 1/10 burn it! I can't hence this enough. Tried to give it another try.. 2nd car 1st row. There's no hope for it. CP, just build a nice GCI there or something!

Gemeni - 6/10 boring once you've been on it. It's smooth, I'll give it that. But after the first hill I think the ride drags on. It's also irritating how the employees will give red a head-start at the station, when I think they should start at the same time. It's irritating how Red always wins!

Magnum - 7/10 still good.. kinda rough though. We were in the last row and saw someone's cell phone fly out on the 3rd hill. :p

TTD - 8/10 bah! Haven't been on it this year either because the friend I go with won't go on it. But I'm sure it's just as good as any other year...

I think that's it.. the park is still good, 9/10. Oh, one thing I wish CP kept up with was Mavy's effects! The lights inside the tunnel are just weird, the BOOM! sound isn't there anymore, the water jet things that shoot up when you pass that lake aren't there anymore, and the thing that shoots water in your face isn't there anymore (but I'm not surprised about that one.. how long did that work out? 2 weeks? =P)

Blue Streak - 6/10 fair coaster, had some good spots and bad spots

Raptor - 9/10 Awesome inverted coaster, last turn was a little rough but I loved every other minute of it. Especially the Cobra Roll.

Top Thrill Dragster - 7/10 Yeah, I know it's really short and only goes up and down in a top hat but I give it credit because the launch felt awesome and the top of the coaster did, too.

Demon Drop - I rode this ride the most, I don't even know why, I thought it gave me a lot of heart rush! I don't really want to rate it, though, cause it's a ride.

Wicked Twister - 8.5/10 Awesome coaster! I loved the launch of it and it's queue line was actually a little enjoyable IMO.

Corkscrew - 5/10 Just like corkscrew coasters I ride, average. But it does look nice at night.

Millennium Force - 10/10 The best coaster I've ever ridden (tied w/ Maverick) in my life! Had loads of airtime and was also the smoothest coaster I've ridden, too. I loved the last turn.

Mantis - 8/10 Great coaster, I loved the twists and turns, I didn't like the trim brake on the drop though, it felt like it was slow after the drop. I give it credit, too, for being the first stand-up coaster I've ever ridden.

Mean Streak - 0/10 Crappiest wooden coaster I've ever ridden in my life (I even sat in the front seat).Here we go: Seriously, this was the most disappointing roller coaster there. When I first saw it I thought it looked awesome, I mean its an 160 ft. wooden roller coaster, even if its bumpy ill still get some heart rush, right? Well, when I rode it, I swear, I thought there were like 3 trim brakes on the first drop! And talk about bumpy, it jerks you around so much no one can even scream! And who would want to scream the first drop feels like its 30 ft. tall?

Gemini - 7.5/10 I actually found this wooden coaster to be enjoyable. When I got there the second train was closed, I was kind of sad because I wanted to clap other people's hands on the other train. But it was still good, had some airtime last part was a bit bumpy but fun.

Magnum XL-200 - 9/10 Superb coaster, but I take 1 point off of it because some of the seats were very uncomfortable, and I kept on hitting my knees on the them. Try to sit in the front because it is a bit better. Had loads of airtime and an awesome turnaround.

Iron Dragon - 6/10 Had really good scenery, it was kind of boring though. I loved the ending.

So to sum it up Cedar Point is a pretty good park, it's got some amazing coasters and it has some terrible coasters, too.

Went back to SFDK yesterday. It was very hot, and the crowds would have been excruciating if not for the Flashpasses!

-Coasters-
Tony Hawk-7.5/10-It's not a bad ride, but it had the space to be just as awesome as the other Tony Hawk clones...so why was it shortened so much? Also, the brakes are still WAY to high pressure; the whiplash is ridiculous! One of the most redeeming qualities is that the ride op crew keeps things fairly fluid, although an extra loading stall would really help capacity.

Roar-CLOSED-Apparently, it's undergoing maintenance. I really hope that means retracking. It would make that ride SOO much better! :D

V2-8/10-I really do wish it was like the the other Impulse coasters with two vertical towers and vertical brakes...but whatever, it's still one of the best coasters I've ever been on!

Boomerang-N/A-The ride messes with my stomach, and I already got the credit.

Kong-0/10-What the hell happened? It used to be ridiculously awesome! Now it only runs one train, at least 2 mins per dispatch, and it's rough as hell again...Grr...damn you Six Flags.

Medusa-9/10-Wow. I tried the backseat, and HOLY HELL, I GOT AIRTIME! I mean, it was better than Goliath's air. And the G's were insane. I mean, the frontseat rides were awesome too, but damn, this was AMAZING! Easily #3 on my top 10 now!

However...

WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE TEAM OPERATING THIS RIDE? I mean, really, a dispatch time worse than X2? That's really sad! :(

-Flatrides-
Hammerhead-6/10-Fairly standard floorless looping ride. Fun, except our restraints weren't unlocked for five minutes after the ride while the op chatted away about "last night".

Voodoo-(-10)/10-How NOT to run a Huss Top-Spin. It squeaked like an anorexic mouse, the ride area looked like the Los Angeles wash, the ride cycle was pathetically short, and the restraints felt like they were made out of ceramic...

-Lunch-
Jonny Rockets-4/10-Good food...until the grease catches up with you. Ugh.
