Why Do People Rave Over CCI?

I love CCI because every CCI that I have been on has a ton of airtime.

-----------------
Cedar Point vs. SFMM-like 15 isnt enough?

If your riding Ghosty, you could hit the front first and you may be dissapointed from the hype. After go in the back. Mmm gravy.

R.I.P CCI 7/18/02 So long and thanks for all the thrills via Chris Segura who says come celebrate the life by riding the ghost with the most.

Hey, every major coaster company has some coasters a lot of people don't like. But, you can't really judge a company with two rides on some older coasters. Cornball Express, Raven, and Legend are incredibly amazing, and Hoosier Hurricane is no slouch either.

Hi, I'm here to talk about coasters, if you are not, shut up and leave.

Why in the hell would you want to ride a smooth wooden coaster? they are supposed to be a little rough. If you want smooth then just ride steel.

#1 wooden: Shivering Timbers

People rave over CCI because they made the best new woodies. I rode Roar West, but that GCI didn't compare to any of the CCI's I have ridden, not even Hoosier Hurricane. Sure, not every coaster of their's was a huge hit, but they don't have any bad coasters. Hoosier Hurricane may not have much air, but it is still fun. I don't know what you are talking about, calling CCI's rough. That is how woodies are supposed to be. CCI's were smooth, for being woodies. I don't know that their place will ever be filled. GCI can't do it, they specialize more in twisters. Intamin can't do it, their wooden coaster is too smooth. Granted, I haven't ridden it, but reports say it is smooth as steel, and that, IMO ruins the experience of a wood coaster. RCCA? I don't think so. Vekoma? Doubtful. Nope, CCI will never be replaced, unless the employees form a new company. They will be greatly missed. :(

You know...it's odd you say that, because Raven was opened one year before Great White. And a ride built in 2000 isn't exactly old...

I got news, If he don't like Villain, Chances are he isn't going to like many CCI's except maybe Sky Princess and HH and maybe Great white, The milder CCI's.

CCI dishes out the goods in odells and just keeps em comming.

They arn't for the WEAK!

Chuck, still crying and thinking about camping in the CCI parking lot till they re-open :(
