Lol Cameron you are on crack.

If i lived closer to CP i would be buying a CP season pass instead of PKI and I would be going to CP every other weekend (at least) Everytime I go up there I have a blast. PKI is such a pile of dung compared to CP. I take an entire week and go to CP every year and come back so happy everytime.

In fact, i could spend a whole week just riding MF and TTD all day long. so Blah.

Who cares if the park is pretty or if they have things for the whole family. If they dont have big bad coasters that make you scream for more, then im not interested. Go CP.

Cedar Fair cares about profit? Wow, thanks Cameron. I was worried I had invested in a company that didn't care about profit. Whew! What a relief!

Cameron: Ghostrider is a pile of poo now??? Spoken like someone who has not been on the ride lately. I wish more woodies would become piles of poo, because the Ghost is every bit as wild and trim-free as it ever was, perhaps better.

No comment on the rest of your jibberish.

SCREAM with me... in 2003!

Shivering Timbers running bad? I thought it ran just great when i was there in July. Timbers is always pretty rough in June, it was just shut all winter. I belive your philosophy on Cedar Fair parks is very wrong.

I'd have to say that Raptor has been exceptionally good this year without the trim (until recently that is). And I wouldn't call giving Mantis a brand new shiny paint job letting it rot, but whatever. The only ride that I'd say CP has let deteriorate is DT, but it wasn't that great to begin with so nobody cares.

I rode Meanstreak in June as well and though quite boring compared to Tx Giant it wasn't that bad at all. I have been on far rougher coasters than this one. Try riding The Rattler at SFFT if you think MeanStreak is rough you will think this one is violent. But yeah i think we all disagree with Camerons statements.

What IF the whole world farted at once?!

LOL at Cameron's drivel. Of course they are in it for the money, as is any other business. And as long as they give the customers what they want, they will continue to make lots of it, to build more and bigger stuff!!

Cameron says: "All Cedar Fair cares about is profit, probably more-so than Six Flags .. they just have a better marketing company."

Of course they both care about profit. The difference is that Cedar Fair knows how to make a profit and Six Flags doesn't.

than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

Six Flags does not deserve to be compared to Cedar Fair. SF is a company that shows they have gotten to big for their britches.

Cedar Fair management analyzes every potential acquisition very closely before deciding their course of action. That way they can make sure customers are being treated right, and getting the attractions they desire.
