I'm one proud Dad!

Scotsman, why'd you wife be a wet blanked about Maggie & Mille? Two of the best coasters I have ridden.

I'm not about to get into an argument at an amusement park and ruin what is supposed to be a fun day. It just boggles my mind that RFII, Twister and Phoenix are, to me at least, way more intense than either Maggie or Millie but she had no problem letting her ride those. We'll see what happens on the 27th and 28th of this month, we will be at Dorney and Laser and Steel Force are on the new to her list. I can see Laser not being a problem because she has been upside down on Corkscrew and Superdooperlooper, but SF is very similar to Magnum...

Scotsman, Laser has been removed to make way for Vooodooo.

Um, no? It's still on Dorney's website:

RCDB has it listed as running:

and check the trip reports forum, there are several Dorney reports all mentioning the fact that laser is in fact STILL there.

Laser is still very much alive and runing at Dorney.

It is however for sale...and sale or not, this is most likely its last season.

I love posts like these because they always take me back to my son's first trip to Cedar Point when he was 4 and rode everything available (Magnum and Mean Streak were the two largest at the time).

Sometimes I wish he were 4 again. Instead, he's getting married next year. Time flies. Enjoy it now.

Laser is still there and still operating. (video from three weeks ago :) )

....at Dorney. Like most every other Anton, it'll likely end up in Mexico or points even further South... ;)

It's called a tripod, Gonch. It's this thing with three legs, and when you put a camera on it, it doesn't shake all over the place. ;)

Sincerelly.
CONGRATS!

Chuck, wheres my Cigar?Nungester!

Dude, you're the one who wants to make films. You're not familiar with the handheld camera techinque? I'm going for the grittier, you-are-there feel. ;)

You're so punk rock.

I'm all indy, mofo!

Somebody get that man a Steadicam, pronto!

Yeah. a Steadycam a 300:1 zoom lens! Heck, let's hima chopper so he can film car chases and areal shots too !

My mistake. I've been misinformed. I could have swore Voodoo was going inplace of Laser. Sorry for the false information.

No problem, I believe Voodoo is now in the place formerly occupied by the Skyscraper, which went to Valleyfair and is now at Cedar Point. It's right next to where Laser is though.

Tom

For karma to work out, doesn't that mean that Cedar Point now has to send its trampolines to Wild Water Kingdom?

congrats crash my son just turned 3 loves spinny rides scrambler tiltawhile. hes been on kiddie coasters he loves to watch the coasters and laughts at em.he wants to go on them he gets upset if i go on them and leave him with daddy for a few lol.his bday was

What??!! No coasters?? I'm not sure from your post if you were stating that he IS 36 inches or not YET 36 inches. If he IS 36 inches then Jr. Gemini and Woodstock Express were available for him to ride.
