Perimeter Rd Problem

First off, kudos goes to the a-holes that held up traffic by deciding to drive about 2 mph the entire way from the Soak City parking lot to the main tollbooth, you guys were a great bunch of losers..

Seeing as how I was one of at least 20 cars stuck behind these jerks, I called Cedar Point police. Well, they might be good in the park, but outside of the park, not so good. I was told that two cars were on their way to perimeter road to stop the truck. No such cars existed, and they were never stopped. I was told that they had someone waiting for the truck at Point Intersection, no one there either, which is funny, because by the time the truck got there, he decided to do at least 50 mph, and literally flew down the causeway, funny, thought there was someone there waiting.

After a great night of JCC ERT, this really put a dampener on the night, especially since the jerks got away with it all. I hope in the future, CP Police does a little better job at getting to the problem, especially since it caused people to make rash decisions to pass the truck on the other side of the road. Just a heads up for the rest of you.

I'll echo the ERT comment: there were very few people in the park last night (probably because of the threatening skies). Plus, they kept the dragster line open an extra 15 minutes, which gave me an extra ride, which was really really nice.

They were really jerks, but even with that it took about 15 minutes to get from the Soak City lot to the tollbooths. Since I had just gotten two dragster rides in the space of about 20 minutes, even this didn't get the smile off my face. ;)

It's not war, famine, or pestilence; it's only downtime.

At least you got a good view of the park.

ONE freeway stamp a day... ONE

Neo, I was the truck right behind the bastards! I was pissed I didn't have a cell phone on hand. I rode with my brights on and about 3ft away from them the whole way down the road. It seriously took about 20 min to travel from Mean Streak to Blue Streak.

I saw a cop in the parking lot, but then the fool turned right as the whole line of traffic was traveling just left of him. I have no idea what he was thinking.

Man, the horns were so loud, haha. That was kind of funny. But other than that I was raged. I was getting so pissed I thought about pushing the drunkards out of my way. They were screaming and yelling, one had a bottle (about 99% sure it was a beer, looked like a moleson ice bottle) in his hand... That little low rider truck they were in wouldn't have stood a chance, I would have loved to have smash in their tailgate. It wouldn't have even phased my bumper, I'm almost mad I didn't... seeing how nobody else took care of them (were the hell were the police when we needed them!?). Well, hopefully they got caught somewhere during the night, because that was surely the most pissed I've ever been behind the wheel.

If anybody saw that low riding red truck pulled over last night, I'd love to hear it, so speak up! I really hope they both got to spend the night in jail for that crap.... ruined my drive home.

Kinzel owns a low-riding red truck. I heard he did that last night to dissuade folks from abusing the Soak City parking lot.

Just kidding. Sorry to hear this. It sounds like a real cruddy thing to do (and done completely to annoy those behind the driver if they sped off once they hit the causeway).

Why not just pass them?

Well, if nothing else it's not legal. But even at 10 o'clock there was enough traffic to make it risky on that road, becuase it's so curvey and you can never see whats coming around a corner.

This is also not legal.

Tell me whats legal: a bunch of drunk a**holes on the perimeter road doing about 2 mph, causing people to pass illegally, and then speeding up so as to not allow them to pass potentially causing a major accident, and Voodoo had his brights on...tell me: what's legal? Obviously the Cedar Point Police need some training in customer relations and road safety...

I stay at Venetian Marina on first street most weekends, right next to the employee housing. Friday night, I saw a truck passing illegally on first street, going about 50 mph. A CP cop car also passed to chase the truck. I wonder if those were the people blocking traffic, and maybe the CP police got them after all.

You need to learn to relax Neo. And by the way, how did you find out they were drunk? That's just speculation on your part. You're just mad because you were in a hurry to get home and watch the Matrix for the what, 10,000 time? You're "The One" Neo aren't you? Why didn't you just fly right over them?

Seriously people, it was 15 minutes. Fifteen minutes. If you're going to get bent out of shape over every idiot driver leaving CP you might as well sit in the parking lot until 2:00 am.

I'm bent out of shape at the lack of service the police gave to this matter. I was more focused on the fact that there were beer bottles in the drivers hand and in the passengers hand, clearly marked, and that they were a potential pile up waiting to happen. Your childish insults don't belong on this forum, post somewhere else..

Being at night, there would be no way to see clearly with the glare of headlights on a back windshield what kind of bottles, or if they were bottles at all. It was an unfortunate incident, but the CP police can't be everywhere.

I am not trying to be arguementative, but if it was a pile-up you were worried about, just pull over and wait.

You sir are an idiot.

The fact is, these people we creating a dangerous situation. It shouldn't be alowed to happen.

neo: You could have gotten their pate number and reported them to Sandusky or Ohio police if they really were drinking.

I don't think that attack was really necessary... Again, I don't think the people who just live within 20-30 minutes of the park really realize what the people who live 2-3+ hours away have to do. If I've got a 3 hour drive ahead of me, I sure as heck want to get out of the park and Sandusky as soon as I can so that I can start my drive home... There is no way you can justify some moron driving that slow around perimeter road (and I wasn't even there that night). Its completely unacceptable.
