I havent ridden the Witches wheel, the Demon Drop ,the Twister or the Dragster.Some just dont appeal to me and some because they just plain scare me.My goal is to eventually ride all of them.

I HATE to ride the Giant Wheel. Just like any other ferris wheel, it just doesn't feel safe to me. It feels like my cabin is just going to fall at anytime.

I get the same feeling with the skyride, but I still ride it sometimes. Call me crazy but, I think that Skyride and Giant Wheel are the two scariest rides in the park.

The rough ride is my complaint, so how can you tell if its a smooth day?BTW,nothing is more painful than the Mean Streak.

Last year I was twelve and I tried to ride Jr.Gemini and the guy wouldn't let me ride I asked him what the problem was because there was a 60 or appeared to be 60 year old man and a 5 or 6 year old kid and he said I was to tall. I don"t ride flat ridesthat spin a lot because that can ruin part of my trip for me. Last year I didn't ride Mean Streak and I am really regreting in now. If you are questing getting on a ride that you think is ok get on it because you will probably regreat it later. I rode Power Tower Red and I really enjoyed it It is a good ride


Yeah new year, and finally got my license, well back in august. Im in need of a trip to the park.

I agree about the skyride,but I love it anyway.The ferris Wheel is great,but I can see that it might scare you.

For some strange reason, I wont ride ride the Space Spiral. Its just that the ride looks so fragile and being 330ft in the air on something that looks like it can barely support itself is not my idea of fun!

Manny,its not so much a "ride"as a chance to see the park in its entirety.You dont feel at all like youre in danger when youre on it.Its very solid.

I don't ride Mantis:TCFKAB. It's never been comfortable for me, and when they added the safety belt they made it darned near impossible for me to fit. So I don't bother anymore.

It just scares the hell out of me being out within what seems like jumping distance of the lake with your car swingin, lake winds, a seatbelt that I could snap with my hands, and a gate with a $1.00 hinge that was made by the lowest caste of Taiwan under-age workers making a dime an hour.

Fastball,you dont need a seatbelt.There is no AIR time,its just a gentle ,slow rotation.I have never heard of a Ferris wheel death.The thought of one of those things falling off can be scary I guess.Its not gonna happen though.We had 6 people in a car at the same time,and it was no problem.We werent lightweights either.

Chaos.

I rode it once, and it was making all these popping noises. After the MiA accident and hearing all the popping sounds, I decided Chaos and I do NOT mix.

I love the Giant Wheel on a beautiful day. Look at the lake, and the park. Listen to Wicked Twister roaring by, and all of the children in Kiddy Land giggle.

Wave Swinger. It just goes around and around and around and I start feeling dizzy (which I hate the feeling). I also will not go on Tilt A Whirl anymore. It used to be my favorite ride when I was little, but ever since I started going on roller coasters the spinning rides have been horrible.

Add me to the list of people who are afraid of the Giant Wheel. Ferris wheels have always scared me for some reason. I'll hop in the front seat of MF or TTD no problem, but kind of funny how a ferris wheel intimidates me more than those do.


Cedar Point rocks my socks.

Three rides scare the crap out of me: Sky Ride, Giant Wheel, and Space Spiral, anything else and I'm fine.

Wave Swinger was my first ever ride at the Point. There is something about it that I love.


We'll miss you MrScott and Pete
