Cedar point beach, what would you do?

And you need to stop being a know it all smart a$$.:)

I wouldn't like him any other way.

It's part of my charm. :)

If he got rid of that attitude, you'd complain that his new found niceness wasn't reliable, didn't open on time, and not nearly as good as the old DJ.

Let's not even mention him not fitting the flumes.

With the way I've been eating since the wedding, the flume prediction might actually come true. ;)

Lawsuits for anything and everything. I guess you can remove common sense from the american language.

If people only knew about what kind of attractions parks around the world have, that they can still have today because people use common sense...you would be amazed.

And it's all because of common sense and self responsability. Everyone want's to point a finger at someone besides themself anymore.

I was just at Disney last week and was on a ride where you use guns to shoot targets on the walls throughout the ride and as I was getting off a mother was yelling at the ride operators that someone shot and she had the laser hit her in the eye, now to describe it it's just a tiny red dot that doesn't even last a second, and she was complaining how now her eye hurt and she had a splitting headache from it and that she was going to sue because now her sight is damaged. It was the dumbest conversation I have ever heard. It is ridiculous the dumb things people will try to do to find someway to make money. Needless to say security escorted her off the ride and hearty laughs were had by all.

That's crazy.

On her way home, she probaly stopped by burger king to spill hot coffee on herself.

I always thought the CP beach was roped off so small because there was a steep drop off. I may be thinking about a different lake though.

Soak City's wavepool is miserable! I scraped the heck out of my legs when I was in it. There's a wave pool a few miles from where I live, and the bottom isn't nearly as rough and the water is deeper.

Lake Erie, at least along the CP beach, is pretty shallow for quite a ways out. There may indeed be a steep drop off, I don't know, but I know it stays shallow for a while. Sandusky Bay is also incredibly shallow in most places.

hahaha right when I saw this I immediately knew you were talking about djDaemon! Is that sad or what!

OK, OK, folks, lets rest at ease here, lets all act like adults and talk about the main topic. I am speaking for everyone, I dont take sides.

If the shoreline is so shallow by CP, then the lawyers should allow CP to expand wayyyyyy out more to swim. At least let kids wade in the shallow areas and walk to the sand bars that pop up every now and then.

The no fun beach? :)

Well as someone who grew up with that beach, swimming there, watching small amphibious planes give rides off it and old World War Two army dukw's run rides into the lake off it and they even rented fairly large government surplus life rafts to play in out in the water, working as an attendant in the 60's in the old bath house about where that double acting coaster is by the Giant Wheel, renting umbrella's and rafts to visitors, and later as a life guard myself on that beach before I became a ride operator, (it was leased out to an outfit from Tennessee back then I think) we had quite a beach. Two actually, the Hotel beach was kept seperate from the main beach, and they made money off both.

We had Red Cross certified life guards and WSI's (Water Safety Instructors), real ones, not water park safety people. We spent time in guard chairs watching people in the water playing ball, splashing and more. Even when the weather was cool and windy, I can remember being in that chair in sweats wrapped in a blanket wondering how I was going to keep from breaking my neck getting to someone if the got into trouble. The refreshment stand that was next to the bath house is where I learned to drink coffee, (lots of cream and sugar back then) trying to stay warm. We ran the beach cleaning gear and all, it was great work for college atheletes.

But you have to understand, now they have parasail and jet ski stuff there, and a busy, deep beach would be a problem. Its also an amusement park that happens to be on the lake. They make money selling tickets for rides, not the beach. It wouldn't be too difficult to bring that beach back. Move the float lines into deeper water, hire real life guards, and keep them open water trained. Great place for future military rescue swimmers to start.

Or maybe for some some promising young quarterback to invent the forward pass... ;)

But you can't play football on the beach.:)

I'd rather watch the girls playing volleyball, anyway. ;)

Nice Knute Rockne reference

They have a beach volleyball court in Soak City, Mike. :)

I know. :)

That's become my new favorite spot on hot crowded days. :)
