Cedar Point Arcade Game/Simulator

I was in an outlet mall a little ago and there was a simulator game type ride with 6 of Cedar Point’s coasters. Basically there is 2 person seat with a bar to hold onto. You hop in and there is a big TV screen with the coaster simulating you riding it. As you go up, down, right and left the seat moves in accordance with the screen. It was pretty good. The coasters were Mean Streak, Magnum, Iron Dragon, Mantis, Gemini, and I think one more. I did Mean Streak and it was fun. It did seem like the ride kept going (like I’ve heard). It was that or Magnum, and I’ve “ridden” Magnum enough on all those TV shows (I’ve never actually been to CP). The ride/game cost only $2.00 (I saw it at another mall for $3.00 but that one was broken).

Has anyone else seen this, and if so, which coasters did you try?

They actually have this same machine in the arcade at CP!!!

Maybe this is CP's answer to Fast Pass... if you don't want to wait in line, pay $2 and ride the simulation...

Here is a link to the company that makes them.

Americana is opening in 2002 and needs your support as many company picnics are already schedualed for someplace else, Indivdual visits are very improtant to the parks survival.

They have two of them at Arundel Mills in Baltimore. I saw it, watched it, and kept on walking.

The word "definitely" is definitely the most misspelled word on the buzz.

I saw on at Ocean City MD and another somewhere else that I can't remember. A nice little toy, but no substitute for the real thing.

I always wanted to give one a try this summer at CP but every time I went to, they were broke or turned off, then I ussually ended up looking like a fool trying to play DDR.

I did one of these once in Pigeon Forge, only it was the Beast.

The best thing about it was it was *really* old footage, and the Bat was still there!

I dislike these sims with a passion. I really only like the real thing.
