"Millie" always did kind of annoy me. (I know, my problem).

Enjoying the Ohio park on the shores of beautiful Lake Erie since the mid-1970s!

Always enjoyed:

Craptor = Raptor (due to the sea gull remnants)

Twisted Wicker = Wicked Twister

Gatesleeper + Gatekeeper

Val = Valraven

Blue Streak = Blue Streak (Out of respect for one of the best coasters in the park)


Sorry for the mess. Signature under construction.

So you're saying that everyone over 18 who rode her the last 18 years are in trouble?

Draggin' Iron, you mean.

Is Mantis still an acceptable name for Rougarou? I have a hard time with that one.

And I'm still using Mean Streak when I'm there with friends, at least for now.

Is there a ruling on using partial names for rides? Magnum, Millennium? Or last names? Dragster, Twister? I mean, those technically aren't the licensed names.

Are acronyms still kosh? Or is that grounds for kneecapping?

One of the ride ops on Maverick referred to the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad as "the choo choo train" during her spiel so I think everything is fair game now.

I've heard ops spiel random stats for other rides in the park, too. So much better than pre-recorded that no one listens to.

Great. Now the ride ops and the Supreme Court won't let me eat cake on Iron Dragon. Does it even have lockers?

Rougarou-Mantis will always be "Banshee".

As far as ride spiels:

Blue Streak: Welcome to Blue Streak,the world's tallest roller coaster,

(long pause) in 1964.

Raptor:We don't go as fast as Dragster,but our ride works.

Various CP Coasters:Take you up real high,drop you real low,go real fast.
