I'm guess I could give that a try, but I'm not sure I'd even get a response in time. I thought for sure I saw people talking about the costs of the retracking on this site at one point. That's why I came here.

I'm doing a mock presentation to a CEO for a business class. I've chosen to give a recommendation for an action to improve the Mean Streak's situation at Cedar Point. There are some figures and stats that be great to know, and I know a lot of people could probably help or point me in the right...

I sometimes clap on rides when I really enjoy them. However, for me it's not the same as "applauding." Usually when I'm clapping, I'm laughing with friends, and we're on a high from the roller coaster. Something I found humorous, though. At Cedar Point people clap after ALMOST every ride...

+400 I like how the most frequent answer are +400 ft (most votes from the U.S.) and 200ft (most votes from the U.K.) It's amusing how you can infer that from the data; I guess most of the members that voted have been on the tallest available.

No. Please no more. The chances of them making another good game are way too small. I'm so...confused. What will the plot be? The only two possibilities I can come up with are that it'll either make no sense and be absolutely horrible or it'll be a groundbreaking success that takes an...

Stealth isn't anywhere near the coaster of the decade considering it's a smaller version of a design that's been done years earlier.

Some day I plan to get a glove, sit in the back seat of the Whizzer at SFGAm, and drag my hand against the ground.

This has intrigued me. What do you mean by back routes and short cuts?

Six Flags Great America is my local park and the only one I know very well. I can't say where all the food carts are (I don't normally buy from them), but I know where the lemonade ones are! :P

The personally enjoy acceleration G's the most, but seeing how that wasn't up there I voted negative.

In my opinion, beyond vertical drops do not necessarily make a ride good. However, good rides can have them. An example could be Maverick. While it's a good ride, it's not the beyond-vertical drop that makes it good. I think they are cool elements, but they just aren't good enough to hype-up...

My first of the year was the American Eagle a SF Great America.

I know it's nothing to get excited about, but was the "revamping" of the Mean Streak any more extensive than these past years? And, is it enough to notice when you ride it?

The only that really bothers me is that we call "black" people "African Americans". Unless It does sound better than black, but most African Americans are about as African as I am. (I'm white. lol)
