The GP comments about Lightning Rod are already rolling in...

-Say bye to thunderhead I'm sure!
-Sounds a little too dangerous to me!!
-Roller coasters are fun, but the need to be faster and scarier, makes them very unsafe
-I have a feeling since it's wood and pushed to go so fast someone will die soon.
-Just a lap latch? No thanks!
-wtf? only 45? there ARE faster wooden coasters... Hades 360 in the Wisconsin Dells goes 75....it was the best I have ever been on....this one looks lame.

GPs tend to use the word "cart" instead of a proper term "car". :lol:


When they say "cart", they typically mean the whole train, not just an individual car.

Oh I see. I wonder if manufacturers not GPs, they use the word "cart". Well, I know that word appears a lot specially in physics, though.

the new dive coaster Baron 1898 at the efteling had a couple malfunctions these past months but they only had to evacuate once, I heard people say in the queue:

-I heard this ride can brake down every time, you're lucky if you make it to the end
-This ride is only open 50% of the time, they should have chosen a better ride company to build this one (its build by B&M)

I have to say, Ohio GP is way smarter then the rest of the world. Somethings I heard at the park yesterday.

-They should tear down mean streak and replace it with one of those new hybrid things.
-Come on! Why do people keep taking out their phones!(Whenever pretty much any ride stopped on the lift hill)
-I hate bluestreak but I hope they don't tear it down, its to old.
-Rougarou isn't a new ride! Its just mantis with a different train and color!
All hail your great Arrow Dynamics overlords.

^ Impressive guests! Thanks to Cedar Point, also the capital of "Coaster Education", they are amazingly intelligent! Great People not GPs!

:D

I did hear a few ridiculous comments when I was at Cedar Point and Kings Island earlier this year, but for the most part, I did find Ohio's general public to be a lot more coaster-savvy than the GP in other parts of the country.

This person ticks me off. It's after the Raptor incident at CP.

270mph?! Haha, 270 needs a dot between 7 and 0, and you put a unit "m/s". Convert that one into kph - ta-da! 97.2kph! You see those realistic figures at a downward spiral!

So this is a thing http://www.collegehumor.com/post/703213 ... ld-records, I'm not sure if they're trolling, like CH normally does, or if the actually think "birdseye" is part of the name.
What are these for?

I hate how he keeps explaining how exciting these coasters are without saying anything about 'danger'.
Filthy clickbait

Yesterday at Valleyfair while riding High Roller: "I like this ride because it doesn't have any hills." Umm... High Roller's layout is full of hills. Why are people so oblivious of their surroundings?

"I like this ride because it doesn't have any scary hills."

Their reason has to be like this. I edited by adding one word. :)

^ I can agree with these people voting "Tatsu" as the world's best coaster! I think that is one of the most refreshing coasters thoughout the world! That literally gives a vast and beautiful view of SF Magic Mountain!

One of the things that I heard the past couple weekends at SFOT were that people were complaining that they decided to purchase the flash pass platinum, and that they were cutting in front of all the people at freeze, and I was like... you can imagine what I wish I could have said
