Tony/Tyler Teasing Us Again...

has anyone from here ever had their comment posted? are they all fake?

Walt and I both have had our comments posted.

We just didn't have dumb things to say.

Does anyone really care anymore? I mean really,we all know what is coming next year. They must still be posting things like this for the dolts who still believe we are getting a 1000 foot coaster next year.

Ive had my comments posted twice.

To this one one I responded:

5 pipes,

6 pipes,

7 pipes,

now 8!

A screamin' swing in

Fronteir Town.

Wouldnt that be great?

For some reason they decided not to post the correct answer to the question. Despite my witty banter!

I've had one or two posted.

Ive only tried posting once, and they didnt put it up. weep, weep, weep.

I've had a few posted, but they usually edit out the relevant parts. Like I mentioned that I would guess that under the tarp is the top of a Screamin' Swing. Now if that doesn't get edited out and posted I will be very surprised, in fact, I'll be surprised if they post it at all.

Yeah I wish they would post more.

I posted a comment asking if any of those parts came from Logan, Utah and it never got posted.

I posted a comment about 12E. It was posted, with the response that I was hot. RED HOT, to be exact.

They've posted a few of mine, but not the ones I really wanted them to post.

They posted mine of asking why there is only 1 webcam now.

Some of you REALLY need to understand a few things:

"OnPoint" is NOT (not, not, NOT, in case you missed the first one) a couple of things.

FIRST, it is NOT specifically directed towards "enthusiasts." Sure, enthusiasts will enjoy many of the posts...but the blog is meant for everyone -- and guess what? The majority of guests of Cedar Point are NOT enthusiasts. So just because you think a post is silly or a "mockery," don't forget that for the "Average Joe," it's not so bad.

SECOND, it is NOT specifically designed to be an advertisement for a new ride. Not at all. A new ride coming IS certainly newsworthy, so yes it will and should be mentioned in the blog...but please understand that this thing was never intended to solely build excitement for this or any coming attraction to Cedar Point.

THIRD, and this one requires special attention -- "OnPoint" is a blog -- NOT a fanstastical entity created by superhumans. It is typed up by regular people. I think too many visitors to this website have some huge idealistic fantasy of what Cedar Point is. Any employee can tell you that Cedar Point is a business just like any other -- it's ran by people, and behind the colorful facades and cotton candy scents are just ordinary people working in an extraordinary workplace. Tony and Tyler are not mythical legends who transcend all human behavior (although Tony is borderline ;) ). They are NORMAL GUYS. Just regular, everyday Cedar Point employees doing their job. Honestly. The blog is a SMALL part of their job description. In fact, I'm sure it's not even IN their job description. They are not part of a huge conspiracy -- and they aren't making all of the responses up. Get ahold of yourselves.

So, please. . .take this for what it is. Don't forget that Cedar Point is just a place, a website is nothing more than a website, and Tony and Tyler both look bad in bathing suits. Don't believe me? Stop by Zoom Flume on any given hot day next summer.

Stop with all the hub-bub and just take a few deep breaths. Cedar Point will continue to do good things, and through the blog, we are learning more about this pretty cool company. Just be glad we get the chance!

Tony is normal? Pssshhhtt what are you smoking?

I agree with what he said except for when you said Cedar Point is just a place. Its not just a place, it's the RollerCoaster Capital Of the World. It's the Amazement Park, and it's the best park on the planet for 8 years in a row. It's more than a place, it's the best place to be.

wow. that was intense.

The blog is an advertisement. Simple as that. Although I do believe it is there for more than to advertise a new ride. More to advertise the park as a whole.

80% of the reason the blog is there is for hype for new rides. But the other 20% is for other advertisements.

80%?

He's got some insider information we don't. ;)

Too bad he didn't have insider information to tell me last night that Vick, Horn and Green were out today. Blah.

I guess it's complicated for some to see that the blog is there to recieve the attention of whomever wonders onto cedarpoint.com and catch their interest. That results in a chance to get that person to consider a trip to the park and pay CP some money.
