The 91 year old Big Dipper at the former Geauga Lake Park is now a pile of rubble. I'm both sad and mad about this. Cedar Fair could of saved this coaster in some way.

I will miss this classic.

Last ride Maverick at CP a couple weeks ago.

Ah yes, the good old WWS days. I was one of the first members and one of the first staff members as well. Is Master of Puppets or any of the others that came over from CoasterSims still around?

Any Boomerang coaster, I always get a little sick on those coasters. I avoid riding those at all costs.

Hello my fellow coaster crazies. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. It's been a long while, maybe too long since I've been a part of this site, I'm surprised I remembered my password. Lol Anyway, it's great to see coastercrazy is still here and still active. Note that I'm getting back into the coast...

I'm heading down to Dollywood mid July, I'm looking forward to riding Wild Eagle. I'm thinking of writing a full review of the ride after my trip.

Not sure if this has been posted not, but here's some odd news: Bosses at Thorpe Park say that during hot weather, the number of visitors moaning about B.O. rockets, especially on rides where people put their arms in the air. As a result they have installed "Say no to BO" signs next to the rides alo...

The Hollywood studio DreamWorks is planning to build its first theme park in the booming Persian Gulf state of Dubai. The project, which will include themed restaurants, hotels and shops, is expected to cover five million square feet and feature rides incorporating characters from the studio's anima...

Small groups of people stood in stunned silence at Conneaut Lake Park late Friday morning, watching smoke and smoldering embers from a fire that just hours before had destroyed the historic Dreamland Ballroom. The 116-year-old amusement park??????s ballroom and some nearby midway buildings fell vict...

The coasters I wish were still running are:
Big Dipper @ Geauga Lake
Raging Wolf Bobs @ Geauga Lake
Villian @ Geauga Lake
Blue Streak @ Conneaut Lake Park (after the recent ballroom fire, there's no telling when or if this park will re open)
Crystal Beach Cyclone
The Bat @ Kings Island

gouldy, the new trains, even tho that may not look as good as the old ones in your eyes, are much lighter and provide a much better ride then the old trains. I'll take safty and function over beauty any day.

Go Browns!!!

I don't like the pats, they are a bunch of cheaters, and I don't care for any of the new york teams, no matter what the sport is. However, I hate the pats more then the Gaints, so my vote went for the Gaints.

Speaking of Dollywood, I'm heading down there a week from saturday.

Anther easy idea, put your favorate tracks in your signature. ;)

I agree with Real, Holiday World is an amazing park.

I found out that the best time to go is mid sept. Keep in mind, the shorter the operating hours, the shorter the lines will be.. ;)

The best I've done at CP is walk ons for MF and everything else and 5 minute waits for dragster.

My quess is that the G forces where abit too much on that turn coming off the tunnel launch. I think they are gonna spread that turn out a little more.

Real, the crowd wasn't all that bad, early on the lines were alittle long, but later in the afternoon and evening, most of the rides had very short waits and even some walk on's. Waited 10 minutes for Skyhawk, Waited only an hour for Dragster, and when M-force did open, only waited an hour for that ...

Kinzel said an announcement for Cedar Point's new ride will likely come in August...

Cedar Fair is buying all 5 Paramount parks.

I should be able to make it to both Cedar Point and Geauga Lake, might also bring a couple friends along if that is cool.
