Cedar Point dropping hints for 2010

What about one that's an hour fast?

It's correct during daylight savings time. ;)

It depends on when it's an hour fast. If it's an hour fast during daylight savings time, then it would still be right for half the year.

<edit>Damn... Gonch beat me to it.

It's obvious that Tony and Tyler have gone totally mad

with power. They can control the masses of the coaster fans with only a poll, a pun, or a picture of dirt.

I imagine if they really wanted to cause chaos, they would run off and start dropping the names of various coaster manufacturers. Hope the CP police can double as riot police.

Man don't those two have the the best job ever!

Nice quoting job! lol

About PWE boat stalls...The boats can't be steered when the motor isn'trunning. I've crashed into trees and onto banks many times. It'sreally funny. When a boat is "dead in the water", the wind can take itall over the lagoon until someone comes with a rescue boat.

Paddlewheel captains never go down with the ship. They are first to get rescued. ;)

I thought about this realhard, and when you were a captain, you had lighter hair, didn't you? Itotally remember talking to you a couple of times over the summer. Mywife and I used to come up every weekend, and it was never completewithout a ride on Paddlewheel.

That was probably me. I don't recognize you from your funny avatarthough. It was '06. I had light hair. Captain Travis was the name.

Cedar Point - "Ironman"

Nope...And it's not a coaster.

^^ I know, but you know what I meant.

Forgive me, but it took a couple of tries to figure out what you meant. Try a little harder next time if you care about what you have to say. ;)

I still say PWE should get the starlight treatment.

Now THAT is a cool idea.

They could keep paddle wheel as-is during daylight hours. Then at night, like they do with the trail, shut it down for a half hour, add boats. They could then lengthen the ride time, while adding music, but remove the corny spieling so you could just sit back, relax, and enjoy the sights.

Do they use the PWE during Haunt? Could they? Seems if Knotts can use the flume and Calico mine train CP could do the same (well, not with a flume of course).

No, they don't anymore. There's a bridge that goes across the lagoon for Terror Island. It renders Paddle wheel useless during Halloweekends.

Too bad. Maybe they'll use the new flume for haunt.

Is it magic mountain that dyes the water in the log ride red durring halloween?

SFGAm does that to their raft ride and the carousel pool at the entrance.

Ahh, ok.

Thank's Touchdown.

I remember that I saw some pictures somewhere, and thought it was magic mountain. It's a great idea, and I don't know why more parks don't do this.

A clock that's always one hour fast is always right, just for a different time zone.

^ Most. Timely. Post. Evah!

I have been on the SFGA water ride in october before. Lets just say it wasn't too bright of an idea to ride that in October when the high temp that day was 50.

I don't know. I think it was about 5 1/2 hours late. ;)
