Up All Night With MarvinisaLunatic Part 2 Non Gulag Edition

[Bruiser Chong 0]

wait Marvin, how can you ride roller coasters with your condition? I remember you crying about being out of shape, and I told you to try some light yoga exercises and you were like, "I can't, my heart can't take it, etc." and yet you be on muthafucking roller coasters like they ain't nothing, but you can't even do a Yogi Push-Up??!!

 

Y U BULLSHITTIN??!!

 

Ive ridden enough roller coasters to realize that its not as big of a deal as they make it out to be, the warnings are put up just to cover their ass so they dont get sued.

Walking is also not as big of a deal as they make it out to be. Give it a shot.

Isn't Cedar Point in Ohio? And Marv is in Maryland so he'd need to pay for travel too.

 

Hotel for 4 nights = $350 (And thats probably a mid range 2 to 3 star hotel at $75 a night plus taxes booked online)

Food for 4 days = $100 ($25 a day which isn't much these days)

Admission to Cedar Point for 2 days, parking = $85

Souvenirs and food at Cedar Point = $75 (I always buy a TShirt for a Coaster I've ridden and Im probably gonna eat/drinlk another $40 worth in 2 days easy )

Orioles game ticket/food/parking = $75

Gas for the trip = $150?? (probably at least 3 fillups @ $50 each by this time next year, but who knows)

 

total = $835 (and this is just for me, no one else lol)

 

Id rather set aside $25 a week into a savings account for 48 weeks (11 months) to pay for it then to try and budget it out of my money in my checking account next summer. It should give me about $1200 which should be enough.

 

That's a lot of time, money and effort wasted on a amusement park that is hardly worth any of it.

You're joking..right?

 

Cedar Point is the Roller Coaster Capital of the World and 2nd oldest park in North America. They have 17 total roller coasters with the most in the world that top 200 feet.

It takes at least 2 days to ride every coaster, something Ive managed to do in 1 day at every other park Ive been to (Kings Dominion in VA and Carrowinds in NC, Busch Gardens in VA, Six Flags in MD/NJ* and Hershey Park)

 

Not to mention this trip also has an Orioles game planned into it as well.

 

* with the exception of Kingda Ka which wasnt open the day I went

 

Marvin's Top 5 Roller Coasters

1. El Toro - 6 Flags Great Adventure (Im not a huge fan of "woodies" but this was the best coaster Ive ever riden, didnt really feel like a wooden coaster)

2. Volcano: Blast Coaster - Kings Dominion VA (the 4 hour long wait for a 45 second ride was worth it)

3. Superman: Ride of Steel - 6 Flags America (Nice long, fast steel coaster)

4. Nitro - 6 Flags Great Adventure/ Apollo's Chariot - Busch Gardens VA (TIE) (basically the same coaster IIRC, real fast and long)

5. Batwing - 6 Flags America (the feeling of flying was nice and riding it in the pouring rain enhanced the experience)

 

with Honorable Mention to Curse of Dar Kastle (Busch Gardens) even though it was a simulator ride.

 

Worst 5 Rollercoasters

1. Loch Ness Monster - Busch Gardens VA (my shoulders were purple and black for 2 weeks after going to Busch Gardens and this ride was responsible)

2. Great American Scream Machine - 6 Flags Great Adventure (serious bruising on my shoulders and a really rough ride)

3. The Joker's Jinx - 6 Flags America (beats your head back and forth to the side on the head restraints..headache inducing)

4. Anaconda - Kings Dominion (I barely fit into the seat and this was 10 years ago)

5. Stormrunner - Hershey Park (I rode this a couple weeks ago, they should sell the ride to the WWF Niagra thing and call it Carlito's Back Cracker, I litterally heard my back crack when the thing went from 0-70 mph in 2 seconds..)

 

With honorable mention to the Spongebob Squarepants "4-D ride" at 6 Flags Great Adventure (My GF is big Spongebob fan..ugh) but I heard they took it down.

Hmm, for some reason even though you've made various statements about living in a hick town that couldn't even hook you up to DSL, I thought you lived in the Baltimore area. Oh well, guess I won't be running into you next week.

Say what? Sir, I've beeen to The Point numerous times and if you pick the right day (ie NOT THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER when it's full of kids, lines, and probably very hot) you can ride everything twice or more in a day. Last time I was there we rode the Mantis a few times in a row, only getting off to move to the front (the front and back cars being the only ones with a significant line). Labour Day weekend or around there was traidtionally when we would go and fine this good fortune of low wait times, but do have to admit this was 1998 and times may have changed. The idea was all the Ohio kids were back in school by mid August while we didn't start until after Labour Day.

 

Does your list include The Jr. Gemini?

The Anaconda rules.

 

RULES!

 

Also the best coaster in Kings Dominion was Flight of Fear. Although Volcano was awesome too... Flight of Fear!!!

[MarvinisaLunatic 0]

Since 1998 they've added 4 Coasters (Most notably Millenium Force and Top Thrill Dragster) both of which at one point held the record for tallest coaster in the world. Every review Ive read says to plan to spend at least 2 days there in order to ride all 17 coasters at least once. I seriously doubt its possible to ride all 17 in one day even if its not very busy. It took me 6 1/2 hours to ride all 10 Roller Coasters at Hershey Park, and this was a monday before schools were let out (though there were probably about 10 different school field trips going on which was probably worse) and without a wait longer than 45 minutes (for Farenheit, and might I say that Farenheit was a waste of Hershey's money, yep).

 

I wasnt very impressed with Kings Dominion when I went 10 years ago, but now that the same company that runs Cedar Point (Cedar Fair) owns all the former Paramount Parks, I might be interested in a return..maybe even this year since its not a far drive. As for flight of fear, I forgot about that one for my worst list but its essentially the same ride as Joker's Jinx except its enclosed, which gave me crazy headaches cause it beat my head back and forth constantly on the side head restraints. Now I remember that they ask women to take out their ear rings for that ride and theres a good reason for that haha.

Volcano was on his top coaster list in his book. I dont know how his fat ass got into the seat though.

 

As far as I know, Ive never had a concussion.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

Technically you could rind 14 coaster in an hour (that's using a 4 minute average and I'm pretty sure most are less) but that doesn't account for distance to each one or wait times. I'm not lying about the wait times though - the end of August near Labour Day in the 90s, the park was practically dead. Some of those old wooden coasters aren't very fun either, though the bigger ones give you a "holy shit this this is going to BREAK" (even though it won't and is perfectly safe) suspense feeling so I guess it does its job.

Al threw me in there for mentioning that the Orioles wouldnt have such a bad record if they would have won a game or two of the now 14 game sunday losing streak that they having going.

 

doesnt make any sense to me either.

 

Oh, and tonight is MOVIE NIGHT! Jumper, Be Kind Rewind and Charlie Bartlett.

[At Home 0]

No, dude, you pretty much said that if the Orioles actually won the games they lost, then they'd be in a good position.

[DrVenkman PhD 0]

If they won the games they lost they'd have an amazing perfect record, so yes, they'd probably be in a good position.

If they won the games they lost they'd have an amazing perfect record, so yes, they'd probably be in a good position.

Only a couple of them..not all 14 sunday games. See, if they only won 2 of the 14, they'd have a .500 record. Instead they have to be setting the pace to break the all time consecutive single day loss streak record that the franchise already has (1939 St Louis Browns lost 21 straight tuesday games..only 7 more to go!)

 

and stop talking about Amy Winehouse..thanks.

[Nighthawk 0]

Hey guys, I think that it would be hot to fuck Amy Winehouse in her ass, except she probably doesn't wipe properly, because, y'know, she's not always the best groomed person. She does have that nice skinny legs and flat ass crackwhore look.

[At Home 0]

She does, after all, smoke crack, so I guess it would be fitting that she looks like a crack addict.

I doubt she whores herself for it, though. She's a rock star, she can afford crack.
