Coaster capitale of the Universe.
Cedar Point has proven itself (to me) that they have not forgotten all the other thrill rides this year. They have done many updates to the rides page. Read everything for all the (thrill) rides and you will see that they are definitely targeting the thrill seekers this season. With videos of every coaster (except three, I have not watched them all yet either), and look at that ride count for Woodstock. I sent them a E-mail I thanked them for everything they have done for us (so on, so on) and asked them about the other three. They wrote me back saying that do to "updates" on those rides no video has been made yet (not exact words). I will let you find out what ones I mean. (It was a surprise to me too.) It also led me to believe that they already are getting the trains on the track for the 2000 season.
All I can say is "this year is going to rock for the coaster lovers".

I have reported in previous threads that most of the trains have been on their respective rides and have been running. I know for a fact Magnum has been running a lot the past few days as long with the other rides.

Huh, what, videos!?!?! What did I miss on the site?! I know what it is, I have the MF page in my favs, not the actual page!:)
On each of the "ride-review" there are quicktimes videos to watch.

I wish they had Real Player too, because quicktime is such a small little window, and you cant save or anything. Or at least have the files in .MPG format so we can download without loss of quality, but beggers can't be choosers, oh well.

Hey, bandwidth is expensive (trust me... this site serves about 400MB/day), so you have to make some compromises with quality. I'm OK with Real Video now. The results with my video of Kennywood's Aero360 on CoasterBuzz aren't too bad.

I think these are cool. The only problem is, is that you have to search for the videos. I've been going to that site regularly for 2 years now and the change was so subtle that I didn't notice it. They should put this under the Your Favorites column in bold letters to draw attention to it.
