Wow, just wow...
Some of you are so uptight you could be millionaires if you put a lump of coal where the sun don't shine and wait 5 minutes.
The 2 shirts that were pointed out are pretty tame and if you take offense to that, I don't see how you can watch television or even survive in the real world. Especially since picture one contains one of the most famous mud flap designs ever created and can be seen daily on American highways.. Should we write the NTSB?
I had no idea those shirts were even there, thanks for pointing them out.
Those shirts are way better than some of those K-Mart looking shirts they sell... You know with the cheesy graphics and sayings like "hold on tight" etc...
i have to agree with coastern3rd. you guys are SO uptight. those shirts are far from being offensive. they're "inside" humor, so a kid isn't going to get what it means. have you watched a cartoon recently? they're FULL of references like that. geesh.
besides, if you think a retail shop should have something for everyone in it, then what's camp snoopy or peanuts playground have for me?? exactly, it has nothing for me. and, what's TTD have for little kids?? nothing.
a good park has a BLEND of things for the family. not everything can be good for everyone. even disney, the KING of family parks has rides that not everyone can ride. they even have rides that kill people. :)

Technically, they have rides that people happen to die on. Six Flags has rides that kill people.

Hehehe,
I bought the " I like em fast" shirt on saturday.
I wore it in the park on sunday, and had about a dozen people ask me where they could buy one at.

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
I'm only 17. 18 in 21 days and i like how CP tries to accomdate people my age. I wouldn't waste the money on a CP shirt, but still its nice to see.

I also noticed they were selling pentagrams in the Pagoda. For an uppper management that seems very worried about Image, they sure are portraying a 'differen't image, thats for sure.
See crazy horse's post for the management's reasoning for selling such things. Particularly the last sentence.

*sarcasm begins* I'M IN SHOCK!!! Sexual references on a shirt!?!? Damn my pure eyes!! Now I must beg for forgiveness for seeing such filth and make sure no one else will be allowed to see it, because I'm going to file a complaint!!! For my moral beliefs must be pressed upon everybody because I know what is best for you and your family. *pause for a break in sarcasm*
Who cares!?!? Oh no, a shirt may have a little side meaning. Just because you may find something a little off color doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone else. So you don't like the type of clothing they sell...get over it. Go over to Snoopy Boutique and buy some lame wholesome crap and go on with your day.
*Begins sarcasm again* I should write to Dick Kinzel and complain about how the whole Peanuts theme offends me...the cartoon is boring and they try to press values on youth, they should just get rid of all of it since *I* find it inappropriate for the park. Or maybe I should file a complaint because Cedar Point would offer Sponge Bob items as prizes and I have my suspicions on Sponge Bob's orientation. Or maybe I should file a complaint because they have Stewie prizes and he always wants to kill his mom....We Must Shelther Society and Censor What They See and Hear!! *Ends sarcasm for now* :)
People are just so busy trying to control what everyone else sees or hears when they really should just concentrate on their own damn lives and let the rest of society be.

BoredOutOfMyMind... you're my hero.
:D Thanks...but I'm sure my post made others a little angry...maybe they'll file a complaint with Kinzel. :D
It's the way society is, speak your mind...some will agree, some will be indifferent, and others will want to burn you at the stake...which is okay, I could use a good tan before the summer kicks into full swing. :D
You all should prolly look the other way when you see me in my "I got my crabs from Dirty Dicks" t-shirt.
I'm going to wear it every time i go to the park for the rest of the year just to irritate people like this.
There are plenty of shirts from an online website that could be worn and easily offend people without breaking any of the parks rules. All by using double entendres and (not so) subtle innuendo.

T-shirts don't offend me. I work for Abercrombie and Fitch. 'Nuff said.
I just got this t-shirt the other day:

However... some of those that intend to be whitty such as "one by one the penguins steal my sanity" and the camo one that says "ha! now you can't see me" and some other variations just annoy me.

You know, I don't have a problem with what is sold there. In fact, if I could actually own some of them without my mom going insane I would get one or two. But I really think that it has no place on Cedar Point property, let alone having Cedar Point right on the shirts. They want to sell that stuff at an off-point location, then go for it. But on-point, right next to a food stand that serves stuff that little kids love is definately not the place for it. I might even be okay with it being off to the side beside Lotsapalooza, but not right on the Main Midway. If I was a parent and I had kids under 12 with me I wouldn't even let them on that side of the midway near Attitudes because kids 12 and under don't need exposed to that stuff in my opinion.I think even my little 5 year old cousin could figure out what that donkey on the one shirt is there for, and she isn't even allowed to watch movies with stuff like that. My problem is where it is, not what they sell. I think the shirts that CP has always been selling are perfectly fine for teenagers. I have more of a problem with the pentagrams and the sexual stuff more than anything. *** Edited 5/10/2006 8:27:55 PM UTC by BlueStreak64***

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

This proves my point (and Cedar Point's): the shirts sell. Enough said.

Honestly, who really cares. Its just like anything else, if you don't like it or agree don't go into the store. I personally wouldn't buy one, but its kinda funny.
Nicely said, they are shirts who cares...
