Valravn...I can't be the only one who thinks this name looks suspicious.

Wait a minute! When you remove the a's, the l, the n, and the last v you get:

He's taking pictures of generic souvenirs lol.

Whatever the queue line secret is it can't be that great because it has to be idiot proof and idiot proof things are not great.

Cedar Point has significantly less idiots then a SF park. Not Disney level, but they can get away with a lot more. Like being able to get so close to gatekeepers dive loop(seriously it'd be very easy to grab someones foot.)
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

Maybe the queue will have a splash pool since the coaster is sorely missing that element
X2 ??? Intimidator 305 ??? Millennium Force ??? Iron Rattler ??? El Toro ??? Fury 325 ??? Maverick ??? Skyrush ??? Twisted Timbers ??? Voyage
