Cedar Point Ride Simulator

Did Mean Streak's simulation consist of being punched in the back for a few minutes with a pop-up screen of enthusiasts yelling, "Lean forward!?"

I think you may have hit upon what was really inside Adam's 'Dark Ride'. *shudders*

;)

^^"Stupid general public doesn't know better than to sit over a simulated wheel."

lol "NOOO!!! The simulated first hill trim grabbed hard!"

For those asking why I want to know, it might rain on Sunday when I'm going with my family, and I want to find the closest thing possible to the coasters in case they close. It also might make a good "Genius!" meme picture ;)!

We have an 8 seat ride simulator! We are on the way to Cedar Point.

This is what I have seen

I guess you could call it a "simulator"...but it's just a POV video... :)

Is this what you mean?

(not my video)

Kinda, but the one I'm talking about is bigger and has 6 coasters on it.

Midway Mall in Elyria has a Gemini and Blue Streak simulator. I always wondered why. Did Cedar Fair make money licensing their footage to an arcade game maker, or was it a promotion for Cedar Point? Or both?

Does anybody remember the old Beast simulators? I wonder if any of those are still around at all.

Mike, were those the ones that also had The Raven on it?

As I recall, they were only the Beast. But I'm not 100% positive on that.

I remember seeing a Beast-only machine in a gas station in Tennessee in the early-to-mid-90s. As I recall, it looked like a small minivan, seated about 4-6 inside, and moved slightly as the simulation occurred. We were on a field trip for high school, and while I didn't "go on" it, I remember those who did were underwhelmed. Of course, it didn't help that everyone on that trip lived less than an hour from the actual Beast.

Also, am I crazy, or did there used to be a Beast (among other rides) simulator near Flight of Fear inside KI? I remember noting the irony that you could pay an upcharge to simulate something that was included with admission...

Yeah, Michigan has those Gemini and Blue Streak simulators at malls and arcades that go side to side a little bit.

I saw one down in Daytona Beach Florida this past month. It was in the mall directly across the speedway. Made me chuckle.
