your biggest regret

at CP?

Mine was never making time for the Pirate Ride when I was there. After reviewing the park map, me and my brother decided to make it a priority for the next year's trip (1997).
I was soooooo mad when we found an arcade in its place!!!
So I never got to ride it :(

Another regret was never taking pics while I was there of different things that are now changed.
Riding Blue Streak the year after the new seats, belts,head rests and lap bars went in.

MF 2000 - 269 laps
MF 2001 - 89 laps as of (6/26/01)
June 11th, 2001 - Gemini 100
I agree with not taking pictures from year to year. We have started to do that with the kids but I wish I had some from many moons ago:)
My biggest regret would have to be not hopping on Magnum more than once last year back in August. The wait was the shortest of the day, 10 minutes even beating out Cedar Creek Mine Ride which we waited 15 minutes for. That time could have been wisely used for another ride on Magnum...
Chickening out on Mantis & Power Tower my first year.

Waiting so long to ride Wildcat.

Biggest regret? Close to Tim's. It's not saving all the park maps, brochures and souvenirs from the trips we took in the early-mid 70's. Mom has a bunch of them, but I never kept any. She's not sure where exactly they are, but I'm going to make a point to find them next time I visit.

I need a vacation to recuperate from my vacation!
Not taking more pictures, and not being sure if I still have all the maps... I have I think 11 different years, but I'm almost sure I'm missing an even older one. Also -- probably my biggest -- not thinking to take those "behind the scenes" pictures when I was an employee!

Not keeping my eyes open in 1990 when I rode DT, therefore missing every special effect in the ride that was missing the following year.

I stay crunchy...even in milk!
this is an easy one....

Not being tall enough or brave enough to ride Jumbo Jet & Bayern Kurve....Every year my parents would ride these when I younger, then several years past without trips to CP - maybe a decade. Traveling Rock Musician....Then returning and they were gone....Seldom does anytime go by that I dont lament the fact I never got to ride these icons of my childhood...Jumbo Jet was marketed as 60mph and that was huge in its day - just once I would like to get a ride on one.....
not taking the front seat on MF on my first ride of the year!

Mine would be not saving brochures, maps, and taking more pictures in the past.

Not riding Gemini with my dad when I was younger. Now that I'm older and into coasters he is not able to ride. That would have to be my biggest regret.

Not riding Jumbo Jets or Blue Streak pre-seat dividers!! I am sure I was tall enough for the Jumbo Jets during their last year or so but was much too scared :(
Jumbo Jets pre-seat dividers would not have made any difference as the trains were single-file and the whole thing was gone before the seat dividers anyway.

What a cool ride that was (at the time). I loved going up the hill in a spiral and seeing the radar spin around on top. I often wonder how it would stack up today now that we have real monsters and I am much older.

If you ever want to do something but are afraid to, do it. Because you may never get a second chance.
