Muffleheads @ 120mph

Do those things actually work? I heard they were kind of like "snake oil" and really didn't do anything. Perhaps there are expensive, professional ones that are good unlike the kind at Rite-Aid :)

I don't think there's any *legitimate* reason for you to not keep your glasses on Xcelerator (with straps, of course). TTD will even have less exceleration, but MORE exhiliration....KBF is just anal as all get-out....I was allowed to keep them on for H:XLC, and that is a MUCH more powerful launch...

As for the muffleheads, I assume that they'll be TWICE as tasty on TTD at 120 mph as they were on Gemini at 60....;)

Twice as tasty? Heck, at that speed you wont have a chance to swallow them. :)

Inhaling them would be more appropriate. :)

Heh. Tell me about it! ;-)

I see a new CP delicacy coming up since they seem *so* popular. Want cheese with that?

Tina, I was *trying* to be as polite as possible...I know quite a few of the SoCal contingent, and didn't want to totally *gut* their park...saying that KBF has a LONG ways to go in the PR dept. is as far as I'm willing to go "here in public". There is some info I have come across, though...;)

As far as TTD is concerned, I don't for a second believe that what passes at KBF could EVER happen at CP....not even once, woudn't even try it...thank goodness for DK...:)

Hey Jeff, good news for us geeks. I'm telling ya, they should turn the tower into a giant zapper. Then again, we don't want to attract bugs to the area. How about the world's largest mosquito net???

"Know thyself!"

It has already been pointed out, but this comes straight from the CP Website:

LOOSE ARTICLES
Corkscrew, Demon Drop, Mantis, Millennium Force, Power Tower, Raptor, Top Thrill Dragster and Wicked Twister: Glasses must be secured. These rides cannot accommodate any loose articles including cellular phones, pagers, hats, cameras, stuffed animals, purses, backpacks, umbrellas, drink bottles, etc. Items must be safely secured in a cargo pocket or waist pack or left in a locker or with a non-rider.

It's kind of wierd, on my at least 50 rides on MF, or any ride at CP for that, I haven't gotten more than 2 muffleheads! Though, torrential rain does feel like little arrows, I believe that TTD will not run much into rainfall, due to the high speeds, though it would be a nice, painfull cooling on a hot summer day. :)

"Or waist pack". Thank you Cedar Point for clearly spelling that out. So many parks are very inconsistent on that -- "Yes, you can wear that." "No, you can't wear that." "Oh, whoops, I didn't see that, you weren't supposed to wear that, ESTOP..."

Even if I leave the camera and cellphone in the car, I need to carry a glucose meter and emergency candy with me at all times. These things can NOT be left in a locker. In cooler weather I can wear my eVest, and I have cargo pants, but there are times a waist pack really is the best solution...

Good; now if we could just get CP to explain the Umbrella Rule to all the crews in Area 1...

(canes, crutches, and umbrellas are the three specific items that can be carried to the platform and left there, but cannot be taken on the ride. This is because canes and crutches are necessary for ambulation, and umbrellas do not fit into any lockers)

GregLeg, I have a hard enough time finding my wallet in my cargo pants. I just checked out that eVest. Holy Sandusky! You'd better believe a waisted pack would be better. I could see myself taking off my clothes just to find my wallet...and nobody would want that. ;)

Thanks dawn....a great thread to bring to our attention. How did that even stay open...you CPGers are *nuts*...not like Coconuts, either...;)

That eVest has 16 (yes, SIXTEEN) pockets...."I know my season pass is in here SOMEWHERE"...;)

ApolloAndy -

"Douse" and "douche" mean the same thing - obviously even from the same root word. It's not the English language's fault that Massengill has given the latter a "new" meaning. ;)

What sound does it make when a water truck crashes into a vinegar truck? Douche!

Wow, never heard that one before. (sarcasm)

A pirate walks into a bar with a steering wheel in his pants. He orders a drink, and the bartender asks, "Hey, what's with the steering wheel in your pants?"

The pirate says, "Argh... she's driving me nuts!"
