How do you people?!

Wow, it seems like many of you go to Cedar Point everyday. I would love that, but how do you do it? Don't you have jobs in such?

It's Dan K's fault

Not all of us go frequently, of course! I only go once each year (I used to go every other year, with family, but now I'm in FL), and I worked there for 3 seasons. I probably won't even get to the Point this year, but I'm here nearly every day! :)

I only visit once every two weeks or so. If I lived about 20 miles closer, i'd be there more.

For me,it's weekends and vacation days from work. I live 2 1/2 hrs from CP,and managed 40 days last season. If I lived as close as Dan,I'd be there everyday!!!

Yeah, Jobs. But for Most Jobs we don't work 24/7. This year I plan to work around d30 Hours A week. Guess were I'll be the other 138 ;)

2 Days a week is my goal this year, and I live 53 Miles away. Those days are not necessarily whole days either. I work In Elyria, which is somewhat close so if I'm out there it makes it seem shorter than if I were at home. Going after work For a "starlight" is always good.

Red Garter Rob on the otherhand is a Nut. He was there again today I heard! (Tue.) How he operates I have no Clue!

So far, my girlfriend and I have been going on Fridays as soon as I pick her up from school, and then again Saturday after I get off of work around 3. So 4-5 hours Friday and Saturday on the weekends isn't too bad. This past Saturday seemed to be the first big day of the year. (you know it's bad when you wait 20 minutes for ID) I plan on going 2-3 times per week once my girlfriend finally graduates from school. An hours drive to and from everyday isn't bad at all from Cleveland.

Well, I don't go EVERY day, just six days out of the week! ;) Of course, sometimes when I'm really sadistic I actually go to the park on my day off!

I go as often as I can, but it usually comes out to around 5 or 6 times in a season. Last year was slow, I only got 3 trips, but I plan to make up for it this year. It's tough with a 4 1/2 hour drive one way. Cincinnati is too far from CP. What I should do is get a job up that way and move to Sandusky. Don't think there's a huge demand for stock brokers there. Maybe in a couple years I'll try for a job in Investor Relations at CF. :) That'd be cool.

When did "people" become a verb?

"I people everyday, and twice on Sundays!"

I think the way he wrote it makes sense, but I get that every day at work. "You people screwed my account all up." "I don't know what's wrong with you people."

I only go a couple times a summer, but I am 16. Last year I went 3 times, and that's the most I've ever gone in a season.

I make it to the park about 6-8 times a year. I live about an hour away, if i lived in Sandusky i would probably go everyday, maybe even just for a half hour for a ride on Millennium Force.

Of course, you have to use it correctly!

CP fan since 68.

I was in an accident back in August of 00, and lost my (beloved) car. I didn't need one since I moved in at EMU a couple weeks later but now that I'm back I NEED MY CAR. Been borrowing the 'rents or getting dropped off ::ewww:: at the park. (ohhh god, if I get a new car, I'll know this weekend, and if I come on here screaming in excitement, excuse me..it's an awesome car) Anyways, I can't go back to work until I have the car so I'm just taking classes Tues/Thurs, and I'm free to go other times (Looking to go around 40 times this summer)

When I AM working...my boss knows full-well how I am about the park and will ASK me before he schedules me for a certain time, "Are you planning on CP that day? If so we'll put you in for another day." Yes, I know I'm lucky ;-)

It probably isn't correct, but it is used commonly
and is just slang I guess.

Being the boss ain't enough. You have to be closer than 375.4 miles away!
