I think Jeff was referring to a maXimum height restriction.

Would you like to eXplain eXactly what you're trying to tell us?

For all of you tall people....odds are, you should be able to fit. The floot does drop a bit so that there is enough room so your legs will stay attatched;-)

Yeah those floots can sure be rough when they don't drop. Nothing like a stationary floot to ruin your day.

Will any rides in Kiddie-Kingdom be re-located? If so, where?

.....how would we know?

I think Sir Rub-A-Dub's Tubs will be removed. Not sure if they are going to relocate them though.

The strongest RUMOR that I heard at the end of last season was that *no* rides would be removed. By this time, just about everything about maXair had been confirmed except for the name and color scheme. Looking around Kiddy Kingdom at the end of last season, I noticed that a lot of utilities were marked in among the rides and around the refreshment stand; I also noticed what poor condition the decking is in around Rub-A-Dub's.

Based on my observations and a healthy dose of, "if I were the King," I reached the following conclusions:

a) The refreshment stand stays.

b) The asphalt in Kiddy Kingdom goes, replaced with concrete or pattern-stamped concrete. This includes the seating area for the refreshment stand and the paving between the rides, but not the circular concrete pads that most of the rides are sitting on.

c) The deck surrounding the end of Rub-A-Dub's gets repaired, replaced, or removed and redesigned.

Note that this is an educated guess on my part, backed up only by observation (I have no "inside sources" up there). We'll see in six months if i was even close. :)

What do you mean about everything has been confirmed except the name and color scheme? Are you meaning in October that we didn't know the name or color scheme? It was kind of unclear.

How much higher and faster is maXair than Delerium ?

Does anyone else think it is possible that cedar point may announce another flat ride? Maybe they with catch us off guard by announding a second flat ride before the 2005 season. This prably wont happen, but its just a thaught.

If were lucky, a new Lemon Chill cart!!

Why can't we just be happy with what we've got?

It's human nature to bitch and complain whenever we get a chance.

Sean, if you look back to page 2 on this topic you will see the comparison. Just to make it a little easier for you i'll copy and paste it here.

maXair
Speed: 70 MPH
Ride Capacity: 1,000 Riders Per Hour
Ride Time: 2 Minutes & 30 Seconds

Delirium
Speed: 76 MPH
Ride Capacity: 660 Riders Per Hour
Ride Time: 1 Minute & 40 Seconds

Hope that answers your question.

This will be Cedar Point's 68th ride as said on their website. I'm not sure weather we had 67 or 69 rides before (memory block) so I can't answer the removal question.

If memory serves me right it was 67.

So no rides are being taken out.

I have my Getaway Guide here from last year and it says they had 67 rides last year. So no nothing is comming out this year.

Doesn’t mean that there not going to remove a ride just to relocate it. They could still take out one or two KK flats to make room. Then just put them elsewhere in the park.

Yeah, they could relocate something. That's not outta the question. I'm just saying they won't be removing something for good.
