My Cedar Point Trip and a Bit of a Rant.

Some of the posters on that pointbuzz Cedar Point forum talk about coasters as if they're more important to them than their religion. Most people don't even get that upset when their religion is insulted.

shaggie,

Rollercoaster Junkies are more common than you might think.

They travel all over the country visiting amusement parks in a constant search for an even bigger and better thrill, and the adrenalin rush that goes along with it.

For some it's rollercoasters, for me the challenge is to visit every National Park in the country - to each his own.

I like your idea better.

 

I concur

Seriously though!!

I'm still surprised by the vitrolic response I got. They acted as if I said Cedar Point was the worst park on Earth and that all handicapped people should be euthanized.

I feel like I invaded a Trekkie convention with posters saying SPOCK IS ILLOGICAL.

 

Me too. Atleast my fat ass isn't banned from national parks.

 

I didn't realize until I got there that the Millenium Force was not going to be the only coaster I probably wouldn't get to ride. I was mentally prepared to be rejected from that ride.....but not the others. Some visitors weren't prepared at all for the disappointment.

They should put the test seats out near the front gate...so you can try them before deciding whether or not you want to fork over $40. Though, I DID get to ride ALL the non-coaster rides and they have like 55 flat rides that adults can get on. A few of those are just as thrilling and insane as a roller coaster. And some of the older coasters like the Wildcat, gemini, and Mean Streak were accomidating to us bigger folks.

However, I honestly don't think it would behoove a mult-billion dollar corporation to provide seatbelt extensions or allow guests to bring their own(like some enthusiasts have) granted that they fit the safety regulations.

 

If it's any comfort a fat ass is common place and perhaps (even a necessity) at The National Park of American Samoa

w00t!!

 

Agreed...it really bothered me, also, that people made such a big deal about the weight issue...they were saying it should be a crime to be "fat"...it was really disturbing, actually.

 

I know...ugh...but I'm the "insensitive one that deserves to be flamed". I never realized how many morons there are in Ohio.

That's ok....they don't realize that they are being criticized right now for being RTards. Maybe someone should go tell them. LOL.

 

I live in Michigan and go to school in Ohio...I'll be the first to tell you that I go to school with a bunch of morons

 

What school? If it's OSU or OU....then definitely. Though Wooster and Miami of Ohio also have their fair share of bimbos.

 

University of Toledo, actually.

 

Egads woman! Are the rednecks still having their infamous bonfires out there?

They'd drive their cars and trucks into a clearing in a field, keep the headlights on, lite a fire in the center, and get drunk. Yeehaw.

 

I go to school there and drive straight home to Michigan...I don't hang out there, that's for sure! But I know people around here where I live in Michigan that do that! LOL

It's weird though because their lives seem to revolve around thinking that Cedar Point and Put-in-Bay are the best things in life...

*groans* They aren't worldly at all...

 

That seems to be symptomatic with college students. They pick one or two places around their campus, dub them cool, and revolve everything around those places.

It's quite humorous.
