What a Waste of Money (A dark ride would have been better)

Cedar Point is trying to appeal to everyone, particularly families at this point. That is why they built something somewhat family friendly.

I'm not one of the people still whining about the ride, but if this were so, why would Cedar Point announce during the 2010 season that they are building a ride for Thrill Seekers in 2011, if their intention was to please families?

Are you suggesting that CP should be marketing WindSeeker as a ride that isn't very thrilling?

I think Windseeker is going to be scary. I'm not good with heights when I'm that open.. but scary is not the same as thrilling! I will ride Windseeker at least once just to face my fear... but I don't see it as being thrilling enough to keep me riding often, but that's just me.

I will also ride it once. I'm not afraid of heights, but I am not good at spinning. I'm hoping the people below me don't get a "free sample of the parks corndogs" as Daniel Tosh would say. If it doesn't make me sick, I'll be shocked.

I just want to see it get finished my the OPENING DAY!!. I've been on all the Rides in Las Vegas. The Best it the BIG SHOT & the Ride that we fly and swing over the Casino; which looks like a HAND Opening Out.

That RIDE IS called Insanity, and it's ON top OF Stratosphere.

That's not even close to what I was suggesting actually. Go back and re-read what I quoted and commented on ;)

Hence why I said "somewhat family friendly". Duh.

That's fine, but regardless, Windseeker was advertised as a ride for Thrill Seekers, NOT family oriented...DUH!

Most new rides at CP are marketed as "thrilling" because CP is a "thrill park". It's pretty difficult to successfully market a new ride by calling it not very exciting:

New for 2011 - A totally mediocre ride that is basically just for families, and isn't very exciting at all!

With the exception of kids' areas, the marketing of a ride doesn't necessarily hold true to the thrill level of the ride, nor should it.

I actually don't remember saying that at all to tell you the truth. When we have open minds and actually read what is being typed, it does wonders and actually makes more sense that way! If you can show me where I said Windseeker should be advertised as a mediocre family ride, then I'd be more than glad to admit I am wrong. Thanks ;)

If you haven't noticed it seems that they only build a thrill ride or coaster every few years. So just be patient and you will get your 500footer looping wooden coaster.

Until then ride the 17 or so other coasters that CP has to offer, or try another park. Trust me, it's not the end of the world.

Because I didn't get the memo that family oriented rides are actually directed towards thrill seekers, (without the intentions of an argument) I quoted him and said:

I wonder where my comment saying, "2011's new ride should be advertised as mediocre and not thrilling", is at. Anybody?

Adding a "winky" to your posts doesn't make your douchiness more palatable.

Says the guy who baits an argument in every thread he shows up in with comments like these. Give me a break man!

It's really going to be ok TW. We all know that you just have your panties in a bunch because you wrote your screen name backwards.

Does anyone posses the ability to let things go?

That's it Jesz, you got me. Youtube is always available if you're really looking for an internet fight *rolls eyes*

Guess that answers my question......

lmao Yeah that is what I want. Bring it. hahaha. We really do need a sarcasm font on here don't we? It was a joke. I could care less if you like the new addition to CP or not.

Anybody else hear spaghetti western music playing?

You feelin lucky.......punk?
