What does it matter? It's 2005. I don't think anyone gives a crap when Magnum was built.

I'm not saying the general public won't see similarities. I'm saying 99.9% won't give it anything but a passing thought. Enthusiasts are the only ones who nitpick.

It matters because, at present, it appears that CP is added two very similar rides in consecutive years.

The argument about choosing between similar rides can go both ways, though. While one may go on MF before Magnum because MF is bigger, alternatively, I will go on "Maggie" before MF simply because the line IS too long on MF. In fact, being the impatient "cityslicker" that I am, I will always opt for a ride with a line that isn't so long and I would imagine others dothe same. I will have fun on any ride I choose to go on. Maybe it won't be my favorite, but it will still be fun...AND....I don't waste the limited time I have to spend there standing in line.

Where is this idea coming from about less people at the park? I don't understand that there is a strong relationship to having a screaming swing and getting less people in the park.

I'm not saying that there WILL be less people in the park.

What I am questioning is if adding 2 similar rides in consecutive years will help CP's sagging attendance as of late.

And what I'm saying is that you'll find very few people who will notice that and choose to stay home because of it.

A new attraction isn't going to necessarily solve attendance problems. There are other issues at hand.

CP's been having attendance problems? That surprises me. I had alot of difficulty getting reservations this past summer. Of course, I was limiting my search to Camper Village.

Camper Village has been reduced significantly from what it was 15-20 years ago. That could have something to do with it.

MaXair was advertised as the "Greatest Spin Cycle on the Planet", they emphasized spinning while becoming weightless at the top.

The Screaming Swing will probably emphasize the launch and extreme swinging action.

Two different ride experiences, even though they may look similar on the surface.

DJ,

Sent the plans today to the follwoing address:

12345 Stick It Lane, Dinkleberry, MI 45679

Look for them soon.

Thanks!

Camper Village may have lost a few sites, but many have been added...along with cottages and cabins.

I don't see $ lost there...they probably have been added.

I was referring to MHW's post where he mentioned difficulty getting a reservation at CV.

Well, that clears things up, dj...

I think a swing would be a terrible decision by CP. Unless they put something else in as well.

Would you like some cheese with that whine? Seriously, I don't get how this is a bad thing.

Some people need to just be happy with what they've got. Personally, I think I'd rather ride this screaming swing which will have minimal waits (i'm guessing) than wait in line for Dragster which may or may not break down.

DJ,

You do know this is all in fun, right? No hard feelings!!

Have any of you riden a Screaming Swing? Is it cool or not?

Of course I don't. I am the most serious person you will ever not meet. ;)
