Cedar Point is and always has been my favorite park, especially after todays classy announcement of the merger with Lebron!!

Merger? That word... I don't think you know what it means.

Once again, I get nitpicked over a something I said in a quick reply in an online forum? I type things so fast that I have to go back, correct grammar, text, etc etc just to calm my own OCD! LOL but cmon, in an apology to CP fans that probably don't have the same emotional tie to Geauga Lake as I do? I once again should have been clear and said PARTENERED WITH THE LBJ FOUNDATION to avoid insult! I feel bad for people that text message some of these people who grade grammar and spelling online with insults! Seriously I mean no harm!

I read and understood what you meant without having to point out the minor mistake. It's all good.

Inadequacy usually results in the need to point out other peoples "faults".

Cool story bro. LOL. I'm legit LOL'ing right now.

Laughing at me huh? Not one person in this forum would laugh at any of my comments to my face.... That is not a threat, this is a public online forum and I've publicly pointed out my mistakes from the past, which is not easy to do! But for some reason I'm being laughed at publicly for my apologies? All I was just trying to explain was, why I get bitter about very minor issues regarding CF and it's parks... Also pointing out that my bitterness is unnecessary and I need to get over that small family park named Geauga Lake, and look forward to the great future that CF is gonna bring to CP!

And this is why people quote posts right above theirs. No, that was not directed at you, but I am done. If you want to continue ranting about every little thing, please find another target. Goodbye.

Your right it is exactly why people quote posts right above their reply! You didn't make a quote to any certain reply? So I just assumed you were in reply in reference to your most recent post, which was a snobby one pointed towards me? My bad for the mix up on my last comment!

Perhaps then you should choose your words more carefully. No one here can read your mind to understand what you really mean.

"...a quick reply in an online forum..." just seems so dismissive to me, as if 'an online forum' isn't worth the minimal effort.

I actually think Maverick can dispatch and should dispatch while the next train enters the second corkscrew. The first train takes a few seconds to advance to the LSMs and another few seconds to climb the lift, at which point the next train has launched. I read that Maverick can hold two trains in the tunnel, so an unlikely rollback from the tunnel wouldn't affect launching up the lift - the trains would just stack in the tunnel. Of course, the train shouldn't be launching while the next train is dropping - the second-corkscrew timing allows the tunnel launch train to pass under the lift as the lift train is dropping, which leads to dueling as both trains go down their sections of track.

I wonder why the ride ops sit until tunnel launch to clear. Perhaps they want to avoid loose articles striking riders on the dueling train (I hate when such "injury" fears take away dueling and capacity) or maybe they are under the impression that a block set-up will result (the delay of dispatch and lift will make up,) Or maybe it's just slow ride ops. Maybe they have to do a SF-sequel visual scan before clear. Either way, there isn't much in the way of operating it AS DESIGNED and they really should try to dispatch at second corkscrew - it increases capacity and allows a dueling effect.

Jeff I'm sorry, but I apologized for my insensitive comments that I've made in the past and was nitpicked over the word MERGER? Only somebody looking for drama would reply to my comment by saying..... I don't think you understand what MERGER means? When I said merger in my comment, it was in reference to me being happy Lebron and Cedar Point were teaming up! I just happened to have said MERGER instead! That's it and he replies saying I don't know what MERGER means? It's just why would you say that? How does using the word MERGER in reference to LBJ/CP justify insult, and me needing to choose my words wisely?? I really just wanted to apologize and comment on how I was happy with today's announcement!

Yes when I'm typing comments on here, I do type fast and sometimes my grammar, spelling, word usage may be off a bit! I type fast knowing I can go back to edit my comment, but do it only to get my comment up fast! Sorry everybody was just admitting to my asshole, insensitive comments that I made about CP! I made no single derogatory comment towards any Pointbuzz user! If you look at the one user that was replying to my complaints, they were nothing but a whole slew of replies ignorantly pointing out grammar mistakes, technicalities and pretty much anything that could make me look like an idiot? I just don't understand how nothing could be said about that? I never pointed my complaint towards that user, not once!

I said I'm sorry for the comments and if people still find reasons to criticize me, then I don't know what the heck I'm supposed to do?

It's not a race. Take your time, review your post before you hit "submit". Maybe take a few deep breaths once in a while.

So Jeff, how's that user-level blocking feature coming along?

Haha yea, I feel ya man... I do get excited once in a while on here, but it's only because my love for CP man! I'm behind all of you guys a few years, and I seem to wanna cram it all in on one post! I've just never had anybody to speculate with, and have a lot to get off of my chest.. Either way, my chest is clear and I will work on the excitement factor in the future! :)

"I just happened to have said MERGER instead!" "Just happened"? How do one's fingers "just happen" to type something? You said "merger" because that's the word you chose to use.

^ Note the novel that he wrote in response to my one line pointing out that the word "merger" did not fit its usage. That is why I am not touching it..

I know, I know.... that's just something that makes me a little crazy. Well, crazier.

I really am sorry for referring to Lebron James and CP with the word Merger LOL! Seriously, what is the harm in saying merger? You all know what I meant! Accidentally doing it, purposely, typing it because your not paying attention, etc does it really matter guys? That's all I was trying to say I feel like no matter what I say, I'm in the wrong so whatever? 2 long-time Pointbuzz users on here borderline harassing me, when I've tried to apologize for insensitive comments and acknowledge a few mistakes that I made with my word usage! Word usage that was harmless and was only in referral to LJF! I just happened to have typed merger? Who cares if I said that or any other word? It's clear what you 2 are trying to instigate me into doing.

Wow... who is harassing whom? I pointed out one thing in one line and have refused to respond to your paragraph-long rants against me ever since. Leave me alone.

Please do not respond to this, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding we all had over this! Seriously it's all one big misunderstanding and in the beginning I was in the wrong with my insensitive rant on the souvenir cups! I also needed to realize that a fan forum is not the appropriate place to bring up that minor issue, or any issue for that matter!

I also want to apologize to noggin... He's just defending his park, and that's what any fan of Cedar Point should do! Sorry guys, my own personal reasons briefly got in the way of my love for favorite place on Earth, and I was wrong for my negative rant!

I don't wanna be mad at anybody, I love hearing what fellow Point fans have to say and especially the long-time Pointbuzz users! This may be my first year on, but I've followed for years and I'll bet if you get to know me, you would realize that I'm a legit contributor this forum... I just need to learn what is appropriate for this forum, and what's not appropriate! Once again sorry for the misunderstanding guys!
