1st clue: site talks about kids spinning in the wind. 2nd clue: link to kids dinosaur site GM John H says he doesn't think he will ride this? Skyline depends on your perspective (like if you were really short) Site is near planet snoopy. Sounds like a kids ride to me.

Clicking on the windmill takes you thislink in case you wondered or didn't notice. Probably something similar to the star flyer especially since Canada's Wonderland will also be announcing their new ride on the 24th. Cyclone's are windy too but that's wishful thinking for a B&M flyer or new...

This was posted to Canada's Wonderland facebook page so maybe Stratosoar is going there. The name was trademarked by Cedar Fair not specifically Cedar Point.

and the road to dissappointment begins... via Facebook: "loves its fans. And to prove it, you'll be the first to know about our plans for 2011. Let the game begin."

Just got an email from CP "What's New in 2011? We're finalizing our exciting plans for our 2011 season, and you can be the first to find out all the good news! We're letting the secret out on our Facebook page in the near future. So if you'd like to follow along with clues, tidbits and...

I think the box, which isn't that big really, is likely a bunch of candy and stuffed animals for kids. The 60 Anniversary of Peanuts press release says something to the effect of prizes for kids while supply lasts.

What the hell is with the whole station moving in order to transfer a train. That can't be cheaper.

The thing that is troubling me is that Dick Kinzel has now said it twice that "All thrill rides aren't coasters." I don't want another flat ride or "thrill ride" I want a new f'n coaster. The second time he added, "It's going to be something that I think the teen market is really going to like."...

"The new ride will not be built by Intaride." July 7 via Dick Kinzel interview in Sandusky Register

I'm for the cork. Just in case you find yourself without a corkscrew and are desperate for some wine (given your reasons for wine over beer it sounds like this could be you) here is how to get the cork out using your shoe. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7h8LkCC2TXg

Real and that goes for most real or fake arguments. I really enjoy going out with my soon to be wife, trudging through the snow, cutting down the tree, and tying it to the roof of my car. I don't care for religion but I really enjoy a lot of Christmas traditions, especially getting the tree...

Just soccer boots for this poll. I was curious how everyone felt about some of the modern designs that are out these days like predators and all the crazy nike styles.

I'll give the brand as an option but feel free to post the specific style and why. Do you dig the new style shoes with the asymmetrical lacing, rubbery/plastic material, or is plain old kangaroo leather still the best? I should note I'm in the market for a new pair of indoors and its been a...

Tony Clark, via Pointbuzz: "I'll save you some trouble - there's no significance to the announcement date or time. There's a reason why it's at 9:10, but it has nothing to do with the product we're announcing. It's more of a housekeeping thing. Also, there is no in-park event. It's all being...

I like hills and banked turns as much as the next guy but I kind of dig that little straight away after the second hill. I like a little low to the ground high speed goodness.
