What are you riding first at CP this year?

It's only a dull ache in my calf muscles... it's odd... I guess if I rode it more, I could get used to it. I'm just not a big fan of the ride.

I have rode other B&M stand-ups and not had the problem (Georgia Scorcher)... which by the way I prefered the layout and ride on the Scorcher much more than Mantis.

about the stomach issue it really depends on your other body parts such as sholders and height

your legs will be fine if you give yourself enough room

Thanks dakota, my height and shoulders have never been an issue on other rides. Looks like Mantis might be my first ride of the year then.

I'm so jealous of all of you that live close enough to go to cedar point a few times a year. I will be riding what ever ride I'm closest to when I enter the park first. What is rollback?

A rollback is where a launched ride does not clear its first element and rolls back to the launch point.

So, on TTD, that would mean not clearing the top of the tower, and rolling back to the launch. Basically, you get 2 launches for the price of 1.

I probably don't get hurt because I play hockey goalie and have good leg strength

You give us goalies a bad name. Learn English.

JuggaLotus: Rollback sounds awesome! I hope I get to experiance that :)

I haven't gotten one on Dragster yet, but I've had good luck on Wicked Twister.

Failing to get a rollback on Wicked Twister... now that would be an experience... That is one tower you don't want to clear... Unless you want to end up severely injured on the beach....

what are you talking about I won States as an only goalie

Congratulations! Learn English.

Maverick all the way.

I didn't get to go last year, and I really wanted too, but honestly it wasnt possible.

So the first thing I'm going to ride is DEFINATELY Maverick.

first ....magnum, yeah baby. last ride magnum.

i am happy to say that this year we have 4 full days at CP. so i think i can ride till my bones are ready to crack!

I'm jealous too. Everyone that lives close to CP, all probably going for opening day. :(

Bring picz!

(A Rollback is probably reffereing to TTD rolling back or failing to go over the hump-thing)

My first ride: Top Thrill Dragster, baby!

My first ride was Top Thrill Dragster. First train of the season, complete with rollback! :) Fully expected to wait until 10am for it to open since it's not an early entry ride, but was pleasantly surprised when they let us in at about 9:10.

^
Do they usually open a non early entry ride during early entry?

It happens occasionally if the ride is finished testing.

First ride was Dragster as well, with my first rollback!

Amazing!

I think the first and fourth trains were rollbacks. I was on the third... No rollback but realllly slow at the top. :)
