And they make sense and EVERYONE can vote on them. And no making guesses as to what would be good. Mine are tallied fair, one point per vote. Mine are just for fun and more accurate then GT's HEHEHE _________________ Katie

While on the lift hill she stood up, took off her seat belt and tucked it into the seat. At 90 pounds she got so much airtime on the fifth drop she flew right out and hit the track. Making a mistake and trying to give herself a rush like that took her life. That's all it took was a stupid mistake. _________________ Katie Last edited by Katie on Thu Sep 10, 2009 11:15 pm; edited 1 time in total

So obviously the coaster didn't kill the enthusiast, the enthusiast did, well with some help from some brain dead ride ops (hahha - you think didn't know the story). Sounds like a good reason to boycott a park to me. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed. In the end the truth will come out as it always does.

It was a specific poll asking people which park they felt was the best out there. People chose CP overwhelmingly. People find CP the best in general. If they are the best PARK, they don't have to be the best with everything. Anyways, 12 years in a row baby! I just love though how the threads that get the most replies have to do with CP. You all really do get worked up when CP does something great. CP is a very hot topic here I can tell. _________________ Cedar Point: The BEST amusement park on the planet for 12 years in a row! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1jeYY0yEo

SO, what exactly are we saying is the best?  As GM said, it's a f**king poll that means as much as my Workplace Poll did, in other words absolutely NOTHING.   And on that note, congratulations to Kennywood for being named Best Park in my non-fixed Workplace Poll, where people were asked which park they felt was the best out there.  People chose Kennywood overwhelmingly.  Those people find Kennywood the best in general. _________________ http://rayp.smugmug.com

PS to troll #1 - your post doest count in answering why this fake award was bestowed upon a park that should not be rated the way it has. And yes, we are still interested in hearing how you think it should be. I want to hear why certain trolls think that CP is the best, I need a real answer - no one else here seems to be able to give it to me, I figured I'd ask an expert. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.

Well congrats to them!   Why is CP the best? Well, let me tell you. CP has 17 coasters that are very diverse and give great rides. Not all of the coasters are the best, but each one is great in their own way. I love the classics like Magnum, CCMR, Blue Streak, etc. I really enjoy the atmosphere at CP. The music is great, the beachfront is awesome, it has an awesome skyline, and it gives a great day. CP offers things for everyone. They have family rides, kiddie rides, and thrill rides. I love the huge coasters. That's what makes CP great. They have more than coasters though. They have tranquil rides, water rides, shops, restaurants, a beach, etc. CP has been a tradition for me. I have been going since I was a little boy. I LOVE going there. It's a great place to spend the day. It's so much fun riding the rides all day. It's an awesome place to bond with friends and family. I think CP is the best park in the world, because it doesn't look like a run down fair. Kennywood and Waldameer provide rides that you can ride at your local fair. Sadly, they look like them too, which is not a good thing. Those parks have at least 1 good coaster, but can't compare to anything at CP. One of the best things about CP for me though, is that it's a tradition. _________________ Cedar Point: The BEST amusement park on the planet for 12 years in a row! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dm1jeYY0yEo

Many other parks have a diverse selection. Of the 17 coasters only 5 are really worth the trip, I mean really do you go to CP to ride Jr. Gemini? CP does have a nice location but again there are many other parks that can boast this. AmusementFan123 wrote: CP offers things for everyone. They have family rides, kiddie rides, and thrill rides.

They have tranquil rides, water rides, shops, restaurants, a beach, etc. I don't remember CP winning any awards for their kiddie rides, water rides, restaurants, food, etc. Other much better parks have huge coasters. If it really was great CP's versions should have been ranked higher - they were not. AmusementFan123 wrote: CP has been a tradition for me. I have been going since I was a little boy.

Conneaut, Geauga Lake, Chippewa, Myers Lake, Kennywood, Euclid Bach - this is not a reason to be number one AmusementFan123 wrote: I think CP is the best park in the world, because it doesn't look like a run down fair.

Until this troll goes to them I consider this satement worthless. KW will have a more diverse selection of coasters than CP after next year. Waldameer has one of the top rated woodies in the world - I don't see any top 10 woodies at CP. AmusementFan123 wrote: One of the best things about CP for me though, is that it's a tradition. Ummm yeah - no response. So there you ahve it, again useless information from Troll #1. I still want to know why CP is better. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed.

I give CD so many reasons and he is still looking for some. Pathetic. Kennywood having a more diverse selection of coasters than CP??? And Ray, you're a total douchebag. People who voice their opinions are "f***ing douchebags" because they don't agree with you?
