2008 Watch

^I don't think tacky is the word I'd use...

Rather, I might suggest one of the following:

Repulsive
Sickening
Bland
Horrifying
Nauseating

;)

You guys are MEAN!!! :)

its a roller coaster maybe actually it is an ugly metal and rotting wood structure

I could care less about the lamp posts on the midway. Let's give TTD and MF some new paint!! It would be so nice to see them nice and shiny again.

Most people would care less, I just have a creative mind with landscaping and such. I wonder if they've started on the new kids area yet?

I just wish they would announce it officially from Cedar Point themselves so we know what rides are coming and for sure if we are getting the Beaver Ride from Geauga Lake.

In the Kinzel article, it mentioned all the rides are from Geauga Lake. That disappoints me because I counted three kids rides that are exactly the same as the ones in Camp Snopy/Gemini kids area. Why are duplciates needed, besided pushing the ride count up? I'm hoping for the kids they move the Foam Factory, but not sure if it is economically feasible to move?

You say that Kinzel said all the rides that CP is installing are from GL, right? Well, that doesn't mean that CP is getting all of the rides from GL, just that the ones being put in are only from GL. In other words, some of the rides from GL could be sold, sent to other parks, or otherwise disposed of. Right?

Consider the phrasing though. There's a difference between:
1.) All of the rides will be from Geauga Lake.
2.) They're all the rides that were at Geauga Lake.

Edit: Josh beat me to it... :)

By a whole 40 seconds, I did steal your thunder. :)

Consider the thunder stolen.

Though I am a LITTLE surprised.. I knew CP was getting some of the GL rides, but I figured they would come out with a brand new kiddie ride too, just to keep up with their moniker (sp?) of debuting innovative rides. But then again I guess this is a whole "new" children's area.

Rather, the proper phrase CP should be using is:

New for 2008! "Like New" Childrens Area!

Certified used. Hopefully they got the 100-point inspection. :)

The only kiddie ride we saw from GL was the train. The rest of the rides could be brand new.

The article in the Toledo Blade said "...seven children’s rides will be moved from Geauga Lake to Cedar Point..." and the Cedar Fair press release said the new children's area will "feature seven new rides". So, that pretty much says that ALL the rides are from Geauga Lake.

Kiddie/family rides CP should get from GL:

Beaver Land Mine Ride
Rocket Sled Ride
Happy Harbor Nets
Gotcha Games Foam Factory
Road Rally
Mad Whirl
Thriller Bees

What it actually will get:

BLMR
The Tea Party
Road Rally
Rocket Relay
June Bug
Dippy Divers
Hot Air Express

Halltd is correct. Half Pint Railway is on site by Disaster Transport. Why they need a train when they already have one is beyond me. And what's the purpose of Hot Air Express when the same exact ride is in Camp Snoopy...send it to another park that does not have it. Come to think of it, doesn't CP have it's own version of Road Rally in Kiddie Kingdom?

Personally, I hope Starfish is moved to CP...would look great next to Troika or Chaos.

I guess Rock, Spin, & Turn, Space Age, Police Cars, Old Timers, Mustangs, Hot Rods, and Dune Buggies aren't the same.

The thing is, kids don't care, if it goes in circles makes some kind of buzzing/annoying noise and is painted in bright "fun" colors, it's great.

And 99% of the people who will see the new area won't know it's comprised of hand-me-downs.

Umm, doesn't Kings Dominion need these supports first?

And what's with Thunderhawk's lift still standing?

Boy their taking forever ;)
