Cedar Point 7-23-07 (Railroad Crossing Chaos)

I would just like to add that, that cplerr website is pretty interesting and a good read. I have been working alot lately so I just glance at it every night for a few minutes, but so far I am impressed. Good site :)

i went to CP that sunday, and there was a big problem with little kids line jumping on just about every ride. I was also in line for the Wicked Twister and was talking to a ride op, and she said that line jumping was a big problem this year, and i've noticed it every time i've gone this year.

And i had a problem with bugs on the raptor at about 8:30 P.M, and its the first time it's happened to me on the raptor.

If you get caught line jumping are they actually kicking you out of the park? Or are they giving you a warning?

You get kicked out of the park.

I have noticed quite a few instances of line jumping. Come on, people, just wait your turn. We're all getting onto the same ride eventually!

Hey, it's vacation. Let's act like morons and run across train tracks! Um, you don't exactly drive across them, so what makes you think that it's safe to walk? Ah, people on vacation... Will they never learn?

One thing that I don't like about the placement of the vending machines in MF's queue is that you have to get out of line to, say, get a drink. Unless whoever you're with is supposed to wait for you, you have to pretty much cut back to wherever they are to catch up. That is, at least if the queue section over there isn't in use, as was the case my last trip.

^^^^Last time I rode Raptor it was around dusk and my friend and I both got a huge mouth full of bugs. It was the worst we had ever got on any ride at any time of day. When we got back to the station our shirts were covered. I looked over at my buddy and he coughed and two bugs came out.

^I think in the case of vending machines in line it's fair game to go back to your spot. If you get to the point in the queue where they're located and you stop to get something and the line keeps moving, I just venture the 10 feet back up to my friends. However if you're far past the machines and you get out of line to go back and get something, that's a different story.

Yeah, I understand that it should be fair game (and really is). All I'm saying is that people may start accusing you of line jumping in so doing.

About those bugs, ouch. Sounds like they were hungrier than you were, but you ended up eating them instead.

The bugs are why I pretty much outright refuse to ride TTD at night. During the day, they are fine, but they can be a pain at night.

Just as a friendly note, Power Tower's....towers are Space Shot and Turbo Drop.

:)

^Yeah I'll never ride front seat on MF at night either. I went on with a white tee shirt and came off with a red polka-dot tee shirt.

gross.

Yeah, it was surprising too, because I've rode the raptor at dusk many times, and it's never been that bad... we came off the ride and saw at least 7 people with black dots (bugs) on their shirts... and the funny thing is, me and my buddy were riding with two girls who were on the left side, and me and him on the right, the girls didnt get hit with a single bug, but with us it was like Rambo was shooting bugs at us.
