Lots of Cedar Point news on this week's "In the Loop" podcast

You were talking about the midway and the corkscrews, not the bunny hill. Make up your mind.

You could probably get thrown on the corkscrews too...we do find loose articles in the one lockout area we have on the midway. I'm not one to test it, but I'm sure it's possible...it isn't perfect centripetal force, there's a tad bit of hangtime and laterals on the ride.

Why would anyone have a cinder block with them on Corkscrew?

I didn't want to pay for a locker for my cinder block.

Took the dimensions from my phone (nexus 6) and he said it basically would be like getting hit with a cinder block at speed.

I'm not a math guy, I can see if he can write it down, he did it on paper in class the other day, but I'm sure there's online calculators somewhere..

Well, I can understand those not wanting to pay for a locker simply to place a cinder block in, however I still do not think it is a great idea to bring one on Corkscrew with you. If a small phone is like getting hit with a cinder block then just imagine what getting hit with a cinder block would feel like.

That doesn't mean anything. Momentum is mass times velocity. A block of concrete going 25 mph does not have the same momentum as a phone going 25 mph (unless it's an insanely heavy phone).

But the bins haven't been removed from Corkscrew...yet, so you can put your cinder blocks in there.

My cinder block goes everywhere with me :-)

If you've never had a cinder block, you wouldn't understand...

We've had this discussion a million times. If you absolutely must have your cinder block with you, just put it in the pocket of your cargo shorts.

I'd love to see what he wrote down.

There's no room in my cargo shorts. They're already full with my sunglasses, wallet, phone, GPS, bottle of water, a half eaten sandwich, three marbles and a frog.

Pretty sure you've got one too many marbles.

Yes, but is it a talking/singing frog?

Yes, but only when he's standing on the cinder block.

And really, if we have to explain it, you just don't understand.

I love it when humor from one thread bleeds into another.

Even if it wasn't meant for us.

I may have taken it over to Coaster Buzz...
