Is this the case with the other big rides at cedar point. i.e mf, mean streak, magnum xl200, wt
I'm not picking on anybody in particular because this seems to be rampant on almost all boards and newsgroups...
Contained in the thread above is the term "queue line". Is it at all possible to stop this? It is the same as saying "queue queue" or "line line".
Jeff: This board's software finds objectionable words and changes them to *'s. Is this list tailorable by you, the owner? Would you consider adding "queue line" to the list and having it show up as "***** line" or "queue ****"?
It's like when I hear people say "hot water heater", "UPC code" and "ATM machine".
And if you want to change "DaveDzRochNY" to all *'s, be my guest. Thought I'd just beat everybody to the punch.

Anyway, I was just at CP yesterday and friday and I noticed that when TTD was running smoothly the other big rides didnt have long lines because most people were flocking to Dragster. But when it was down the other rides had long lines (i.e 2 hours + for MF)... so there you go did anyone else notice this?

"queue" is, on occassion, pain. ;)

Full agreement about "queue line" though. That one was a half-baked phrase clearly cooked up by someone in the Department of Redundancy and Repetition Department.

DaveDzRochNY, I agree with most of your examples, except I am not certain about "hot water heater." Technically, a "hot water heater" would not be a heater for making water hot, but rather a heater for making hot water hotter...there is one of those built into my dishwasher.
Maybe it's a regional thing, but when people here in upstate New York say "hot water heater" (I gag as I type it), they mean that thing in the basement that takes your cold water and makes it hot for household use. That is a WATER HEATER, plain and simple.
To keep this post on-topic: I see by the webcam that there is no line for TDDragster at Cedar Point today.
