Arrow built flames with chain lifts (Snake River Falls) that seem to work very reliably.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.

Not to sound like a weirdo, but It's been a month since I was last at Cedar Point. How Is Shoot the Rapids doing?

She's still in the ICU on an IV. Hoping to make a recovery by the end of the year, doc says 6-12 mo.

Probably running inconsistently like usual.

On Friday, it was running all day, and had a line. All of the water rides looked pretty busy. Im not absolutely sure, but on STR at the bottom of the 2nd drop, I think they may have added some extra water squirting things to get people more wet. They might have been there all along, and I just didn't notice them.

I'm loving where they positioned the second camera! Right in the middle of Millennium Force third hill and showing the crests of both hills for Shoot the Rapids! YAY!!

Too bad it doesn't look to be running. I love the zoomed in angles of the park way better than the distance shots.

^It's running. Just a short 5 minute delay. ;)

Here is something everyone might roll their eyes at me for. A day at Cedar Point is not complete until you ride Shoot the Rapids!

I don't like getting wet. But if you can somehow successfully talk me into going on it, maybe I'll try it for once. And doing that may be a challenge.

White Water landing was a much better ride. Getting wet is one thing, getting completely drenched, then having to pay $5 to dry off is another.

^ Yes you can! But if you wanted to dry off in less than 2 hours those family dryers just happen to be right at the exit. I'm not complaining, good for CP to put them there. I know its under the category of water rides but its just ridiculous to get that drenched on that type of ride.

To me, having a water ride that doesn't get you wet is ridiculous.

If you're spending money pumping thousands of gallons of water, and no one is getting wet, you've just built a fountain. A $10.5 million fountain.
