Thanks for the reply, CPboy.  Unfortunately, I asked about what made you think of the park as dirty or run down and this was the only one of your points that addressed my questions.  I'll give you it, too, as that did look like a piece of trash on the right hand side.  It may have been a drain cover, but I don't think so. Other than that, the park is very clean and the rides are very well kept, which is what made me question your run-down comment.  In my experience, your assessment is way off. I personally loved the video, especially the Whacky Shack stuff.  Just great and I thank the poster for taking the time to complete it and make it available to all of us. - Jeff Last edited by Coaster 3:16 on Wed May 28, 2008 9:30 am; edited 1 time in total

Here's another one of those things that "some people" do just to piss others off and rile them up.  "I've never been to park x, but it sucks because the pictures and/or video I have seen suck too."  Based on that logic, Carowinds, California's Great America, Valleyfair, and the California Soak City parks all suck balls because I have never been there, but the pictures make them all look crappy.  Not to mention no one has said anything good about CGA's Grizzly, so I guess it really must be a P.O.S. But Jeff has a novel concept.  Making educated comments abut a park that one has actually visited rather than just making assumptions like "certain people" on these boards.  Unfortunately, I doubt this way of doing things will ever catch on.  "Some people" just like to get a rise out of others.   Ray P. _________________ "I'm a good-hearted, honest man... yet you all continue to boo me.  How DARE you treat me like that?"- Chris Jericho

As I was going through the video though I just had to bash the rides. And you people call yourselves coaster enthusiasts?? You want to be a coaster enthusiast, go to Coastermania. So let's go through all of Waldameer's coasters. So we got that wooden one (not Ravine Flyer). It just looked OK, I mean it could be fun but looked more of a boring one. Probably the same intensity of BS. Ravine Flyer is the most intense. In my opinion it looks boring. I would take a ride on TTD, Maverick, or MF any day. The one car ride that spins and goes down the hills. Looks like WildCat. I would never ride this ride because I would get sick from all the spinning. Does not look enjoyable AT ALL! And then that kiddie coaster. Well obviously that will be a zzzzz. So is that all??? _________________ Cedar Point-The best park on the planet! RIDE ON!

My question, which you already answered, was about the cleanliness and upkeep of the park that you challenged.  That is more of an objective statement that you made and you were not able to back up the statement.  That's all I was getting at. Anyway, great video.  I've watched it several times. - Jeff

They won't build a ride for CP. They know they won't take care of the ride as it should be. _________________ Katie http://groups.myspace.com/againstCedarFair www.cnajunkies.com/board

Thanks for the comments everyone, glad you enjoyed my video. The Whacky Shack was the surprise of the trip. It was so quirky and fun that I'd say it is my second favorite ride in the park. Being two weeks late I'm not sure if anyone still cares but I have my pictures uploaded with comments. http://picasaweb.google.com/vgplay/WaldameerPark51708?pli=1 I'll try and be more timely with my report and pictures for my trip to Hersheypark next week. I'm excited about it (the trip, not being more timely. )

I haven't been to Waldameer in a long time. I have to go back in August with my group and ride Ravine Flyer 2. It looks really fun from the pictures I've seen of it. I like the tunnels also. The blue tunnel over the road are they going to enclose it with a wood tunnel eventually? I saw pictures on RCDB and it looks like a fun coaster.
