Mt. Olympus is on the short list of places to hit; tried to plan a trip there this year and just didn't make it, but Hades looks incredible. I saw it just ranked top 10 wood in the new Golden Ticket awards.
Let me know when you decide to make the trip, Mars. We try to get a group up there at least once a year. A skullbrain Cedar Point adventure day sounds pretty awesome to me! Halloweekends are coming up soon as well
Let me know too- I live in Akron, takes me a little over an hour to get to Cedar Point. Luckily my young daughter loves to be scared silly on roller coasters, although she hasn't worked herself up to the Top Thrill Dragster yet. It was so cool going on the Corkscrew with her, I remember riding it when it opened.
Lex Luthor : Drop of doom was the scariest ride I've Been on. And superman now that it is backwards is crazy!
Hey, I moved to Knoxville for work, but I can't wait to come back to Ohio! Born and raised, Tennessee just doesn't cut it. Dollywood has a couple great coasters... at $56 a ticket. Ouch. I'm going to Japan in May, and I'll probably be going to Fuji-Q high Land, and they have some truly nuts coasters there. Again though, living near Cedar Point my whole life, you get spoiled - and our local Six Flags (before it closed) had some really solid rides going (damn I miss The Villain). I hear people talk about other Six Flags and stuff, but you can't compare it to Cedar Point. You just can't. The place is unstoppable and it's nearing 16 coasters total.
so foundations have begun to be poured for the gatekeeper, don't know how it eluded me but I didn't realize disaster transport was being demolished to build this way sad to say the least disaster transport was so unique and I know in recent years they let it go down hill as far as interior aesthetics go but still an awsome ride
Present! Many a fine summer day spent at Accident Park... The wiki is a must-read, and the links at the bottom are very worth checking out... what an unbelievable, fun, extremely dangerous run that place had... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_Park
awsome share on the accident park wikipedia article, I love me some danger and excitement but would have to question the mentality of any parent that took their kid there knowing full well the parks rep, the full loop waterslide is an awsome idea but they should have known better than to build it
There was no internet then so you just went... I gotta say it was so much fun, but god damn did I come home with bruises. The big water slide you would float in the air as you went down the 80 degree ... maybe 90 degree slide. Crazy!
If anyone wants to see and read about all the dangers go here - http://weirdnj.com/stories/action-park/
Every visit there (and I probably went about 8 times), I witnessed an accident or injury. I once saw a guy driving one of those mini speedboats launch himself out of the waterway, catch air, then land (right-side-up, thank god) with a solid thud on the grass, like a giant shot put. The man then begin to let out a low bellow of pain, likely from a traumatized back. You're right on that 85-degree slide, Dril- your body barely touched the surface on the way down. Incredible. Do you remember the other slide like that, except it had rollers all the way down, and you went on your knees on a small rigid sled-type thing? Then you'd skip like a stone across the water, hopefully stopping before you hit the stairs?
Ran into this footage of Geauga Lake from a local source http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and...ke-something-straight-out-of-the-walking-dead
