I had to make an emergency trip to charlotte to pick up a friend so I thought, since I still have this 9.99 bring a friend I might as well use it. Now, he has NEVER been to a theme park and has only ridden coasters at the state fair lol lol. It was funny seeing the reaction of a coaster virgin...especially after I started talking about roller coaster accidents that have happen while going up the lift :clap: :lol: . When we got to the brakes his legs were visibly shaking hahahaha. Needless to say he didn't want to get back on it. I wish I could be inexperienced again. He was even terrified on drop tower...

Read a rumor over at kicentral. That maybe Cedar Fair will be closing Wildwater Kingdom in Aurora OH. And the liquid lightning , Thunder Falls and splash landing would be shipped down to Carowinds . All three would be a great fit to our collection.

I don't have the online link, but I've been using VLC media player to look at both webcams. Not as good quality as the original site, but it's good enough.

Yesterday I rode Afterburn and I must say that I experienced more head-banging than I expected, I hit my head less on Cyclone. Is there a certain way to ride Afterburn so that you don't hit your head?

^ On the last corkscrew, lean to the right of your harness and you should be able to avoid headbanging. If you have these problems on the batwings, lean into the turn.

I find the red train to be more of a headbanger.
