Dragster offically 2nd Tallest

CP is so much cooler than wherever kk is at cause its surrounded by water in a lake/sea/ocean w/e u want to call it, but it has much better scenery. YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE LAKE AT TOP OF TTD!!! If you are a clevelander, most people think of lake erie as an ocean, even though it is not, you can't see across it, it's looks just like one. That's why it's so amazing to see canada from atop a roller coaster! FOR THE FIRST TIME AN OHIOAN/ONTARION CAN SEE ACROSS THE LAKE!! That's pretty cool. Challenge this if you want.

It's not a rumor at all. The press release says the motor can do 7,400 hp on Kingda Ka, while Dragster's can do 10,000 hp. On a construction tour, Monty Jasper (CP's VP of construction/maintenance) said that the motor on Xcelerator at Knott's would actually be adequate for Dragster, but they just wanted to "make sure" that they had plenty of power.

Actually, Cedar Point is not surrounded by water. That would imply it is an island, which it is not. Cedar Point is a peninsula which means it has water on only 3 sides.

Hey, Im in the State Geography bee in, and the spelling bee, im smart!!! And I can definitely tell you that cedar point is Technically at one time an island, but they added a causeway, making it part island, but in a way they put ground under the road. At one time the road arches up with water underneath for boats, officially cancelling out the posibility of it being a peninsula. But if you want to call it a peninsula, you may.

So what's the Chausee then? Is that just an imaginary attachment of land connecting the point to mainland Ohio? The causeway was added because it facilitated the flow of traffic from existing main highways onto the point.

Cedar Point still remains a peninsula.

Apparently you don't need apostrophes or capital letters to spell these days.

Apparently not Jeff....... There is land under the raod, but on that stretch of land there is a bridge to let boats pass under, therefore the land on Cedar Point does not touch mainland Ohio...

For God's sake get another hobby. I'm about ready to bounce the lot of you for making the forum too annoying for grown ups to read.

Look here and stop being stupid. Cedar Point is and always has been on a peninsula.

That picture is pretty sweet. Can see all the sandbars and whatnot in Lake Erie.

Jeff, some of us teenagers know how to use and have respect for the english language. Of course, the most important word is some. ;)

Edit: What I used is called the edit button. It can be found on top of your post. You use it to go back and edit the dumb spelling mistakes you make. It is very beneficial. If any of my fellow teenagers need help with this very complicated process, just PM (private message) me.

There houses on it.

Yeah I noticed that last season, who lives in them, does the park own them


Top Thrill Dragster....Always number one

No, the park doesn't own them.

Cedar point was an island at one time, coming close to touching the ohio mainland, but not officially touching. With two causeaway's built that let traffic to the island, that represents fire island, they built bridges to let boat traffic underneath. CP sits on a peninsula of an island, making cp surrounded by water on only 3 sides, but also sitting on an island.

I hope this clarifies some 'confusion'
