Mantis at Cedar Point
Wouldn't surprise me. That area does get work every now and then, especially the bearing there

Mantis at Cedar Point
Probably just new paint. I wouldn't hold my breath..Maybe a floorless but that rumor is ancient

Coaster Campout
It's about the only place open in Dusky at that point unfortunately

There is a control box with LEDs on it for the seats..tells if they are locked or not by that point. Watch from the station or after leaving the gift shop and you can see it in the middle of the row

Band organ back and operating at Grand Carousel
Indeed. Hopefully this is the start to sprucing up the area next to it, this is fantastic news and well worth the wait

Current wait times
^^the beauty of what happens when the park announces stuff that's big..bet that drove a bit of the GP away. Plus this week's temps and weather play a bit of a contribution

Band organ back and operating at Grand Carousel
I will probably be going to the park tonight now just to take pictures and videos of this to share. A twelve second clip is fantastic to listen to, but I could listen to this for hours. THIS is what an amusement park sounds like. Beautiful old nostalgic noise

#Jonathan visits Cedar Point
The Top Fuel Dragster has been missing from the Top Thrill Dragster winners circle for quite some time..So I guess that it is unreliable considering it hasn't shown up. However Top Thrill Dragster has been running quite well other than the big issue towards the beginning of the season.

Cedar Point to name ride after LeBron James upon return to CLE?
Wish you remembered if it was that crew, and who on it decided to do that... Sigh.. Can't top the 2011 crew

"Cirque Imagine" at Kings Island!
It's because it is like Skeleton Crew..even some of the same acrobats from the same company went from there to Cirque

Cedar Point 7/15/14
Yes do squats..for some reason thicker thighs and quads no problem with the bar Trust me..Corkscrew delivers Coming from one who practically was on the ride almost every day of a full operating season

Cedar Point 7/15/14
Good CP trip, nice numbers CCMR gets a bad rep, but for the time it was a really fantastic ride, it honestly just needs alot of TLC and love. Where was your favorite on GK? Do more squats and reride Maggie, I attribute most injuries to small legs as I have no issues and love the hell out of that ride. Corkscrew..forgettable...fighting words..21-22 feet on wall, hands ontop of car, relax until before corkscrews, press your shoulders up into the OTSR, no pain or banging, but fantastic ride. Corkscrew gives about as much airtime as Maverick comparing bunny/camelback hills..true story

IGE..Immunoglobulin E=Antibody found in the cascade leading to allergic reactions..Bunch of these everywhere, guess what, your body produces a crap ton of histamine, and then Anaphlaxis.. Albuterol=Short Acting Bronchodialator..Common Combivent=Same thing, but long lasting AutoEpi=Epinephrine Auto Injector..Here's a fun vid..Reverses allergic reaction/shock/etc. great drug Xolair=Long lasting (three weeks), expensive (almost 1k/injection), but bonds to IGE..When it bonds, prevents IGE from bonding to allergens to start the bodies process of going through an allergic reaction. Duoneb=Nebulizer of Albuterol & Ipratropium..Lots of bronchodialator effects, works better than just one or the other solo Allegra=Anti Histamine, same as Benadryl, just target different receptors/etc. Anaphalaxis=Your bodies way of saying screw you allergen. Heart rate goes crazy, airways shut out completely, body dilates blood vessels, blood pressure drops, body goes into shock, leads to death..All these things to help fight an allergen (basically your body reacting to an infection), but ends up actually harming itself.

I'll have to show you what someone with an IGE level of 800+ what happens if they dust their house.. Sometimes even Albuterol/Combivent/AutoEpi doesn't even do the trick. Had one guy w/ a ridiculously high IGE, on Xolair, Albuterol PRN, Duoneb PRN, and Allegra..Encountered a trigger just weed eating the yard, took AutoEpi and Benadryl prn q4hr and still was in Anaphylaxis the next afternoon (24 hours) But no..If someone vapes, it's totally the Asthmatics fault...
-
KI Pet Peeves
So I should tell my COPD patients or Asthmatics with high IGE levels that them getting exposed to triggers is their fault. Right.. Have fun dealing with SOB/wheezing/Anaphalaxis then

Next New Ride?
I'll take one like @ CP..just not the less awesome cycle they have this year, but it's warranted considering it's status last season.

Great Wolf Lodge 7/14/2014 through 7/15/2014
Glad you had fun, and agree on all points. The pizza is a quick good deal though if you want to stay in swimwear, etc. Plus while we were there last year it was a buy one, get one half off, which was a steal. I do wish they would upgrade however I don't see it happening unfortunately. I wish they would take that lesson from Kalahari up north, their expansion and new things every so often, but I see that park lacking expansions, and the Sandusky one which is older which also lacks upgrades since it's build. But that water coaster though, fantastic. I spoke very highly of it during my trip there. Hope to see you and others there later this year

^^It does, it's glorified sterile Super Glue.. However a cut from Saturday thats already in stages of healing could have just been hit today with Povidone, apply a Steri Strip, cover with a bandaid, done. The cut was from a good knife so the would already had good approximation, and honestly was only superficial tissue. Not worth $200..but ah well
