Cedar Point's 2011 ride will target thrill seekers

yes

The Beach Entrance was once located between the Grand Pavilion and the Coral Courtyard...you would walk right beside the Grand Pavilion on your way out.

Perhaps they can re-route it through that area to gain more space on the beach front.

I was referring to Carowinds (which, it turns out, isn't open all year, either... duh). CF really should start taking into consideration our abbreviation style when naming parks & attractions. :)

Ah, I should have noticed that. They really should take us into consideration though. :)

Years ago, there was also a gate located near wher demon drops tower was. I believe it was for the tram to drop off guests.

There is one that is nearly 400' in Orlando. I think it's the tallest one out there right now.

I've been on that StarFlyer and I don't think it is even taller than 200ft.

EDIT: Looked it up, the structure is 230 ft tall so I doubt the riders get much higher than 200.

Wow. If that's true, that's a huge misrepresentation.

I don't think so Jason. Reading the paragraph, they are talking about the slingshot ride.

In fact, the only spot on that page where the Star Flyer is mentioned is that it is $7 to ride.

Yeah, I guess I didn't read it close enough. Funny thing is, I know a few different people who have all told me about the ride. That's the only reason I even knew about it. They all thought it was near 400 feet too.

That's what I get for thinking. :)

I've driven on I-Drive in Orlando past that StarFlyer multiple times. There is no way it's 400 ft. Like TrainOfSoul has said, I think 230 ft sounds like it's right.

Don't give me wrong, the 230 ft tower is tall and intimidating in the mass tourist trap jungle of buildings on I-Drive. Now the slingshot at that place is HUGE and when that thing shoots up, I have no doubt it reaches 400 ft, near pure insanity.
