Jay, I don't know about you but I consider abortion a form of murder. I do hope you mean abomination.

While Looking around wikipedia on Sarurator's page i found this
It is rumored to be closed down at the end of the 2008 season to be replaced by Geauga Lake's Head Spin.


I guess wikipedia saw the building permit too.

thankx rollernut. does anyone know if super saturator will go to a different park or in the scrap heap? i think it was a waste to paint it just to throw it away the next year.

I don't know Satie was just repainted in 2006, and the waterguns were completly rebuilt in 2006 also.

No. This coaster needs to be murdered and never seen again.

i dont see how ceder fair expects to take out satie and just put in a headache hell of a ride to get more guests for a long period of time. once the gp find out that its rougher then cyclone there will be no line after 2 years, but hopefully more gp will buy tickets to ride the "new ride" and the money could go to a shiny new B&M hyper coaster for 2010.

Being one of the few on the board who has ridden Head Spin at Geauga Lake, I'd say it's one of the smoothest Boomerangs out there. Cedar Fair has kept this coaste up very well apparently because the head banging is very minimal and the trip through the cobra roll is very smooth. The loop is a bit rough, but thats fine. Saying it's as rough as Cyclone is absolutely not true. I would say it's extremely smooth for a boomerang and will be a nice addition to the park and is NOTHING like KBF's Boomerang (those who've ridden it) and will look great in FSS's spot. Saying it should be murdered and that it's a horrible coaster is absolutely not true. At GL I'd say it was the 3rd best coaster there (Dominator,Big Dipper,Mind Eraser). So calm down guys, we're getting a well kept coaster that will look good in the park. Also, think about Cedar Fair's history with moving coasters: Firehawk,Thunderhawk,Voodoo,Dominator. THEY ALL LOOK GREAT IN THEIR NEW SPOTS. The coaster will have nice scenery, a nice new logo, a fresh coat of paint, and will be nicely advertised. If the GP goes crazy for a rough *** flyer, they'll go crazy for a coaster that GOES BACKWARDS (OMFG!!!1!1) too. You guys who've ridden Boomerangs at Six Flags parks (most haven't ridden them at all), are in for a treat. Head Spin is a good coaster, and I will enjoy riding it next year. I GUARUNTEE (sp?) THERE WILL BE ZERO (ZIPPO,ZELCH) HEADACHES ON HEAD SPIN NEXT YEAR. </endrant>
