Why is this not a possibility?

Thanks guys for bringing some humor back to this post. :)

Coasterfury,

Dude, I'm at work. And no one's whining; I just get tired of people taking all of this stuff so seriously that they argue with each other- even to the point of including my whole post in their reply! LOL

It's just hilarious!

I can take criticism, but you pretty much told me to NOT have an opinion. How can I take things personally on here when we're talking about roller coasters? Give me a break!

What my definition of a roller coaster is and what yours is are obviously totally different. Why couldn't you just be happy with that?

Leslie,

From the words I see in the post, Fury NEVER told you your idea was wrong, you weren't allowed to have an opinion, or the like. He simply was pointing out that following your logic excludes both JG and WE from being considered coasters. I would think it is obvious that he disagrees with that theory but he has not once tried to encroach on your rights to free speech, free thought, or free posting.

I'm neither taking sides nor being subjective. This post's intent is to simply try to clear the clouded water so we can all be happy CPers and talk about the new ride in harmony :)

Whew, after all that talking I could go for a Cobra Zero about now ;)

Who's arguing now? Give it a rest already. And if you expect people to respect your opinion, why don't you try practicing that yourself, and respect theirs.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program.....Project 2007!

That doesn't mean Fury's assumption wasn't asinine.

I didn't attempt to acquit him of that charge, lol ;)

He told me that he thinks that I should "rethink my definition of a coaster." And, to me, that's telling me that I can't have an opinion.

He could've kept that to himself.

I think a lot of ideas on here are extremely overdone or silly, but I do respect people's opinions. It's the fun of it all. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be about?????

I never once told someone to rethink their definition of something....and I'm on here for the fun of it. I just felt like he wanted something pissy to say to someone and I was the target. Let me have my little fun!

Any response of mine to the Leslie/Fury thing from this point would just be hypocritical of me so I'm bowing out.

I hope we're cool and all ride P2007 a lot.

First things first...lets hope the ride is reliable and fully operational come opening day....it is an Intamin after all.

Jugga,

Great point! We can only hope :)

Although, now that I think about it, opening DAY doesn't seem to be too bad from my experience... opening MONTH is usually the kicker.

I rode TTD 4 times on opening day, WT 7 times on opening day, and MF 3 times. From then on, I heard about problem after problem after problem and only got one or two rides per visit.

It'll be fun! It's still Cedar Point & they don't settle for less than fun- no matter how long or short the ride is!

Man, I have to get season tickets for next year. I always end up going about 3 times a year and never get season tickets.

I am looking forward to P2007 and coincidentally, did anyone see a fake article about the new coaster at CP? It was on Point Extreme. I'll just post what it said and not the direct link to the site.

This is exactly what I was saying. You read whatever tone you wanted to insert in there. You just assumed that I was angry or wanted to cut you down. I was just asking for a clarification since you were confusing me with your definitions of roller coasters. *** Edited 7/25/2006 8:58:35 PM UTC by Coasterfury***

Kinzel may stick around longer than originally anticipated, in order to help see through the acquisition of the Paramount parks.

Let me start off by saying that I know that was fake, but I dont think that there will ever be a Mini rocket coaster for kids I was looking at all of the acidents that are on roller coasters and 70 percent were young kids and old people.

dont think it will happen check out the article

Yeah. it amazes me that Roller Coasters dont kill people. Stupid rollercoaster riders kill people.

<sarcasm>Cmon Fury, you should know by now that pointing out flawed logic is considered suppression of opinion. So even if you use their logic to counterpoint their point you are evil scum because you're telling them that having their opinion is wrong. Its a vicious cycle that never works because those being "wronged" just whine until the rest of us shut up about it.</sarcasm>

<upset> Hey! You stole my sarcasm HTML tag idea! You owe me the licensing fee, $25,000,000 wired to my international bank account immediately! </upset>

Yay! Due to this obviously <ahem> BS </ahem> lawsuit I'll be able to afford that new TTD in my back yard!

You've been here less than a week...that sarcasm tag has been part of GPL for at least 3 years. Therefore I will counter-sue for defamation and libel. I'm asking for 25,000,000 plus emotional compensation. ;)

Sorry about that. I found it posted as it was on another site. I never looked for the source, but had heard about where it came from.

I'm just messin' wid ya, I thought of that before coming here but I didn't really mean that, hence the obvious sarcasm in my post. AFAIK no one ones rights to that. Ain't HTML fun? ;)
