yes it was. Those Nickelodeon parade's were horrible. I worked a 36 hour shift back in highschool striking one of those.

They still have those parades

6/11/2008 12:04:10 PM

ahhh!!!

i just feel bad for the people that have to get in those big foam suits. They said they had to alternate every 30 minutes or else people would start passing out from the heat.

We've actually decided to go Friday instead to beat the crowds.

Carowinds blew big time. Nobody EVER go there.

Universal Studios ftw

6/16/2008 8:09:54 AM

^^ haha I warned you

Why'd it suck? I can only imagine it's worse from when I was last there.

6/16/2008 10:01:45 AM

Haha. Yeah, Carowinds is definitely in a transitional stage right now. Give it a few years and hopefully Cedar Fair will start putting in some good rides and making it a little nicer. Not next year though...

Kings Dominion, on the other hand (also purchased by Cedar Fair), is coming around nicely. I was pretty impressed when I went Saturday; the coaster they relocated there from Ohio fits in real nice.

Last time I flew into Charlotte we went over Carowinds. From the air it looks small as shit, I was surprised.

6/16/2008 5:29:01 PM

It's pretty large...

6/16/2008 5:32:28 PM

So does Dominator count for a new credit since it's in a different park? Man, I'm starting to sound like Wes.

6/16/2008 6:05:01 PM

But it does look a lot nicer and even rides a little better than it did at Geauga

Might as well make it two days. At least that way it will be worth it in the $OPEC you'll be dropping in gas to get to and from there. Might as well be so bored you won't want to go back for another forever.

6/16/2008 6:42:24 PM

the dominator is a good coaster.

6/16/2008 6:50:19 PM

The worst part was seeing one of my students and her making me feel old. I seriously think the Carolina Cyclone gave me a concussion it was so rickety. Reptar ended up being our favorite ride...but it was kinda prone to give head problems too.

6/16/2008 8:30:54 PM

^^^^ I was wondering if it was from Geauga. It's kind of sad what happened to that park.

6/16/2008 8:48:51 PM

where can you get the best ticket discount these days?

6/18/2008 11:50:09 PM

i remember one time after riding Wayne's World (on which we were hitting the one-hitter) the photo they take during the ride had me holding the dugout with the bat sticking out over my head

6/18/2008 11:55:15 PM

^^We got a $10 off one from BB&T. But it still wasn't worth it...

6/19/2008 9:32:53 AM

What didn't you like about Carowinds?
