Week V: Interesting Coaster Names
Best existing name - Rollo Coaster ( amazingly simple, but it is the only one. Compare to the many named Roller Coaster or Coaster ). Name that should exist - Headbanger.

Banshee Queue Music
Interestingly that piece of music was used in a queue of a past attraction at Kings Island. Ironicly it was the ride Mr. Linder said had nothing to do with the clip you posted.

Geauga Lake: Future May Be Decided In Election
Interesting, however the area has no need for more retail. The land next to the park has several half vacated shopping centers, this one would sure meet the same fate. As for entertainment, what is better than an 86 year old Miller.

Paddle wheel excursion.

New Carousel Music roll?
I might be more excited for this than Banshee. Well, at least close to the same level of excitement. A carousel ride is truly enhanced by a working band organ, the sound of one is quite enchanting. Now if Mr. Ouimet could get two more working in the state.

Flyover Of CP At Night In Winter With Lights On
I was in Sandusky last night for a Christmas party and saw the park all lit up from 1st street. It made me sad seeing the park all alive but yet could not visit. Now I am happy it was to bring cheer to children.

GateKeeper wins an award!
https://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/A-Little-Kudos For best footings! or is it footers? Can Banshee take it next year? In all seriousness, it is nice to see that Banshee has a sound and quality foundation, adds a little bit more of an already high safe feeling when riding.

"Centurion" name registered by Cedar Fair
At KI a centurion regularly told me to "halt", that I have "come to far" and that "visitors were not allowed within these walls". Oh how I miss him.
