Actually, there was a crack in Raptor's cobra roll that developed I belive its debut year. They got people out to fix it right away and had it up and running by that night.
Even though its true, nobody believes me when i tell em gemini is steel, and they consider it a rumor
Its funny how you can explain the in the most simplistic terms to people, facts about certain coasters (ala Gemini being steel for the fact it has a STEEL track), or you can have an official from Cedar Point come and tell someone the same thing yet people are generally stupid and want to believe what they want and there's no way you can change their mind. (ala Magnum sinking...common sense would tell you if it was, it would be impossible to keep it running)...just my 2 cents

Yea, the Gemini thing is annoying.
How about the launched B&M woodie with 25 Inversions, oh yea, did I mention that I is a stand-up-inverted. It also goes into the lake, and goes 100 feet under the ground, it launches you up with rocket engines on the back of the trains.

I had a teacher dead-set on the fact that Blue Streak ran backwards. It took me almost the whole class period to convonce her otherwise. I think she was thinkin of The Racer at PKI.
If that ever happens again, you can just log onto the internet start a new topic here during class about that and say she can check it tomorrow. We'll set her straight....

I would tell people that CP is getting a new coaster. It will be EXACTLY like MF except that it will be Back to the Future themed, and the name will be "Let's see if you b******* can do 90". If you get up the courage to ride it, you will be chased by angry gangsters.

A bad day at CP is better than a good day at work.
Chris, LOL!
Jmstuckman, Sweet ass! :)
I seriously don't get this thread! You guys get pissed when people ask stupid questions like
"Is magnum sinking?"
Yet you guys say that your gonna spread lots of rumours!
If you want the stupid questions to stop, then stop spreading rumours!! its as simple as that..
(btw i heard a person tell someone that magnum got stuck upside down in its loop. I think theres a couple things wrong with that!)

This isn't a "let's spread rumors" thread. "Your" mistaken on that one. This is mearly a thread to mock the idea that the lemon chill guy is always right. It's also a QUESTION. It's "what rumor would you spread if you were the lemon chill guy, and how long would it take to get to this site?"
Please read the first post in the thread.

Well I am the LEMON CHILL guys Asst manager and i would hope he wouldn't make anything up.....but lets be real :)
I was one of those wagon kids once and it seemed we were all just information booths. They see us sitting all day and hope we know where everything is. But i usually just pointed in a direction knowing the park is just a big circle in the back and they will run into at some time..

Yes there is a difference between Smoothies and Lemon Chills. When we had Lemon chills that was basically what you got. I remember getting a few other flavors but only if they were sent by accident.
Smoothies; we carried 3 flavors last year. It is a little bit softer and creamier then a lemon chill and tends to melt faster.
There was also Luigi's Cherry Chills sold at the Nutty Bavarian wagon on the Power Tower Midway. That would be a third company that makes that type of product.
Out of the 3, Luigi's is the best...

How Bout a former Lemon Chill Girl...Magnum Chill in 95. An experience I would rather not remember...
Don't know which one is best, but I do recall that the Luigis didn't seem to sell that well...the packaging was quite...interesting I guess you could say.

Zone 34...we made the Lemon Chill/Luigis/Smoothie kids what they are today (don't forget your roots guys!)

what were magnum chills?

Magnum Chills were Lemon Chills. The Magnum part just denotes the particular Lemon Chill cart you happened to be working...i.e. Mantis Chill, Fountain Chill, Magnum Chill, Gemini Chill, Peanuts Chill.

I think that I would tell them about the new underwater coaster with the triple loop in a glass tunnel.
