What is the first thing you are going to ride on opening day!??

I for one will ride it several times since I didn't get to last year. But it will be interesting to see how the line is this year for it. I think it would be quite easy to get in Windseeker, Wicked Twister, Max Air and possibly DT in less than an hour of your day.

Raptor all the way!

Not sure how ridership could get worse on Windseeker...it didn't open until June. And even then it was hit and miss. Of the half dozen times I was there, it only ran once and that was testing empty for an hour. I've yet to get a chance to ride it, so hopefully I can this season.

Millennium force is always my first stop

Probably funny to point out how many people will not be running to Windseeker this year. I wonder how much of a ridership decline it will see in its second season.

My guess is not very much, seeing as they opened real late last season. Not to mention the amount of down time it saw from being a new ride. I think ridership for Windseeker this season is going to be pretty high.

I for one love WindSeeker and will ride it every time I go.

^That's good to hear. I am anxious for my first ride but my girlfriend didn't really like it when she rode it last year. But I will make sure I find out for myself! Everything about it seems fun to me and I think it's great that it's by the water.

I rode it at Kings Island and it wasn't as good. I think the only park it's great at is Cedar Point because of the beach and the lake.

It does seem like they just plopped Windseeker down next to Racer down there at KI. Although they don't have a natural view like the lake at CP.

Won't be there opening day, but I'll be running to Disaster Transport and giving it flowers to be safe after the Wild Cat situation.

If they removed Disaster, at least there wouldn't be as much complaining about its removal since it has been echoed relentlessly on various forums. :)

I think you're underestimating the amount of complaining there will be when DT is removed. lol I'll be part of that dramatic thread. About the only coaster at CP I'd feel indifferent about losing is Mantis; I've just never really cared for it.

Ah Mantis, the ride that makes my eyes go "yes" but makes my legs and head go "NO!". :P

And I'm anxious to see if those who are "Get rid of it" change to "Ahhhhh maann! Why!" if/when DT gets the chopping block. :)

You know, I used to think these forums had some of the most extreme reactions to things CP did. Now that Facebook is around, I see that I was mistaken.

It's the same for every facet of life now. Facebook has (unfortunately) accelerated the voices, views and behaviors of some of societies worst.

Right on, Adam. I remember being 12 years old and ridiculously excited for Mantis in line, opening year...I thought it was such a cool-looking coaster, and I loved Raptor.

I'm still in debate of which was my biggest disappointment of all time...Mantis or Son of Beast. Probably Mantis, as I was particularly attached to Cedar Point growing up, and I was so upset that they had a roller coaster that I simply didn't like (leg pain, headbanging, slow/dull). It was the first coaster I'd ever ridden that I didn't like.

I was an obsessed completionist back then, so I always had to ride every coaster each trip. I remember looking at Mantis bitterly, "Okay, let's get this over!" to check it off the list. lol Now I don't care about riding it each trip, but I still ride it once each season as a check-up. I've never given up hope! :)

No kidding!! I can only ride it before we leave the park because it gives me a headache, plus my legs are numb for about 30 minutes after.

It does look cool, though :)
