Steel Curtain testing video

I did not realize the seats on the trains were made to look like footballs until now. They look really odd and take the theming a little too far in my opinion, brown seats with gold and black...blech.

The view on the lift hill climb is one of the best and most interesting I can think of on any coaster.

I think inverting that many times might make me queasy.

I don't think it will. It's difficult to explain, but it doesn't ride like something that has 9 inversions. It all flows so well, nothing seems forced or squeezed in there. I've found it to be very re-rideable, and I don't think I feel that way about any other ride with multiple inversions.

Whatever. You get paid to say that.

Gotta be a Ride Centerline thing - I find the inversions on the RMC rides to be so, I guess, natural feeling. I'll have to give it a go - it looks pretty fun.

I'm not sure I could ride this one at this point in my life but it is fun to watch. And, I'll say this: They did an awful lot in a relatively small footprint. I'm going to smack the next person who says "Cedar Point is running out of space" and then point them to this.

This. The ride just flows so well. I rode in the front left and back right. The front has an amazing view (think the view you used to get from Pittfall, only the entire park AND river at once) and is a great ride.

I would have liked the back better (more forceful, better air) BUT it also had a vibration that I didn't like, so I think I'll be aiming for the middle or front most of the time, which is unusual for me (not unheard of thanks to Phoenix and Magnum, but unusual).
