I can only imagine being on Windseeker during all that fog!
Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't wanna live there.

Am I allowed to eat donkey during lent?

You may have to wait awhile to ride windseeker, screamscape is reporting that there may be a wire problem with the ride. Sounds like it's more than just a weather related problem perhaps.

But yea, riding it in the fog would be crazy if they "can" operate it in the fog.

The Single Rider in the above photos. That is Single Rider Bob (Bob Urmanic). He is a fixture at CP and a very nice - and determined - guy. I first met him in 2008 when he rode Millennium Force over 1200 times that season. On some occaisons family members will come with him dressed in similar attire. If you see him and get a chance to chat with do, he is fun to talk to. Many people think he would be great in an advertising campaign for CP.

I've ridden trimless Meanstreak, it actually has a few moments of airtime! Nice TR, and glad to see that some of the more worn down rides are getting some love.

It is a "better" ride without the trims, however it still has a bland layout.

To this day, I still find blue streak much more exciting and it's only 1/10 the size of mean streak.

I was at the point yesterday. Boy what a disappointment the park has become to me. I used to love going. But as I get older, the thrill rides are no longer "thrilling". But I knew that going in. I was just amazed at how disgusting the place is becoming. The bathrooms were like roadside gas station bathrooms. The place was in need of a lot of paint. This park just opened, yet railings had chipped paint, that looked to be neglected for more than just one year.

For thrill seekers, this park still has all the great rides, most of the best, but for families it is not so great. There is not much for the in betweeners. If you don't want the kiddy rides, or the thrill rides, not much left in between. The kiddy rides are very babyish in my opinion. My 6 year old wanted nothing to do with most of them. Luckily she was tall enough for the bigger rides. Shes not a thrill seeker though, so that limited us to smaller coasters (and the paddle boat 3 times LOL Her favorite of everything :?r )
I did try to take a lot of pictures. I will post them in my own thread in a few days or so.

I think that it is a cedarfair thing as far as height requirements go.

Most cedarfair parks we have been to, have higher height restrictions for rides that should be family rides. Mine ride at cedarpoint is a perfect example(need to be 48"). If we go to a six flags park, my daughter can ride a LOT more than she can at a cedarfair park due to the height restrictions. I still can't understand how she can ride american eagle at sfog, and demon at sfga, but can't ride mine ride at cp.

I do have to agree that cedarpoint seem to be lacking in a lot of departments this year.
