Go to Universal Studios in Orlando and you'll find a lot of state-of-the-art rides like Men in Black: Alien Attack, Revenge of the Mummy and the Earthquake ride. This water ride is fine but Cedar Point needs to stick with the awe factor more.

Again, they don't plan on "Soaking" riders, but they do have that option, just like Holiday World. • Wow Factor rides are incredibly expensive. The Mummy cost Universal well over $40 Million to build. (and that's why the gate price there is nearly $70.00) Cedar Fair will most likely NEVER do another dark ride due to the cost, vandalism (which led to the closure of Pirate Ride), and capacity. • Lesser expensive rides like Magnum and Raptor still give guests the "awe factor" even after 20 years.

BTW- look at the line for the original STR.  Ouch! _________________ http://rayp.smugmug.com

I think I am beginning to like it more than at first since I understand you don't get as drenched as I had originally thought. BTW - who made the original STR at CP? Was it an in house design? _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed. In the end the truth will come out as it always does.

You build something for the enthusiasts, everyone else bitches; you build for family, enthusiasts bi***. Like I said on another site, the enthusiasts are really putting the a** in enthusiass. _________________ I don't like a certain company so everything they do MUST be wrong, even if it's right.  And that makes me look like a bigger fool.

The theme is very cool. I think the waterfall is pointless too. I think we need to remember the animation for Maverick. Some of the water effects shown in the video were not brought to life. Let's hope the same for the waterfall. I can't wait to ride! It should be a blast. _________________ Cedar Point: The BEST amusement park on the planet for 12 years in a row! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1jeYY0yEo
