Dramamine has not been working for me so well lately, but I'm giving bonine a try next time. It's a curse to love rides but have motion sickness.

Zyrtec works for me and does not make me drowsy. I've also found peppermint mints to help. Like you most spinning rides make me sick but Screamweaver and Dollywood's Barnstormer do not. I used to love the Tilt-a-Whirl at the fair when I was young but now I can't even stand to watch it.

I've never heard of Zyrtec (cetirizine) doing anything for nausea. Everything I've read says it has no effect. I already use it for allergies anyway and it definitely hasn't helped.

The biggest factor is probably the fact that I'm always going to these ACE events and the buffet lunch is always some mixture of hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, ribs, and ice cream with soda.

Most of my non-Coaster Enthusiast friends think Night Hawk's the best. Its very popular with the GP.

BTW I think we are faaaaarrrrr from "good" on flats. We need several more, and not kiddie rides, intense grown-up flats.

[Jonathan]

I'd like to see more classic flats. A ferris wheel. A real wave swinger, not that yo-yo that doesn't even yo-yo. We should steal our wave swinger back from Great America.

I agree Jonathan! Sounds like a good expansion for the County Fair or if there was room, the boardwalk.

[Jonathan]

County Fair is an area that has needed some lovin' for a long, long time. Put a new ride in there and the rest could be done fairly cheap. Spruce it up with a lot of paint, add string lights everywhere, and add more lights to all of the rides and game structures.

^it works well for me since I have motion sickness issues. I have to keep it as a last resort, though, as it makes me very tired.

It is possible for a second coaster to fit in the budget for the three year expansion. A coaster like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaHCyahkiAY - for example, costed around 7 million to build. Of course, something like this would be a bit more preferable - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WEgV_Acn6E

My wish is that they bring the shark back to the boardwalk somewhere. I miss this guy.

I ride Nighthawk once every few years, to remind myself why I ride Nighthawk once every few years.

^^ISpeed at Mirabilandia costs just more than 20 million so I don't think that will fit in the budget for 2016

[Jonathan]

I think anyone who thinks there is going to be a coaster in 2016 needs to calm down, slow down, and look forward to the coaster that is coming next year. There won't be two coasters in a row.

I love Nighthawk. There really just aren't many rides like it, and the experience is unique. That's why people rave about it. If it weren't popular, then people wouldn't wait 90+ minutes for it.

It's unique if you ignore the fact that there are two almost exact clones of it a couple states away (Firehawk, Batwing). Can the whole GP just go ride Tatsu or Manta so they will stop treating Nighthawk likes it one of a kind? Can we just give CGA Nighthawk/Borg/Stealth back in exchange for Goldstriker and their top spin?

^Thank you.

I actually prefer Superman at SFOG. Unlike its two clones, this one is good because it makes good use of the terrain.

[Tawny71]

Those of you that struggle with motion sickness...have you tried Sea Bands? I know several people that get car sick who have found them to be really helpful.

S:UF<Nighthawk<Manta...IMO
I actually rode them in that order. I thought S:UF was awesome when I rode it. Then I was actually blown away by Nighthawk in comparison. Then when Manta came out it made those 2 feel like kiddie rides.
