I agree with you 100% on the line cutting topic. I have never line cut and I hate when people come up with that excuse of "Oh, my friend is up there." You wanna know what I said once. I said "Oh you have friends, well thats surprising because I wouldn't think people would be friends with line cutters." I know that was a little rude but it kept them from cutting. Sometimes people just try to push by me and my brother but then we just barricade the queue and block them. One time at Cedar Point a group of people cut us while we weren't paying attention and we noticed and told a ride operator and they took the people out of the park. I was so happy that one park actually enforced their rules. I find that only Cedar Fair Parks do anything about line cutting and they still don't do as much as they should. By the Way: Thanks for all these great updates. It really keeps me on top of all amusement park news.

I added TPS, DOD3, and screamscape to my favorites list.

Roller Coaster Philosophy is pretty good, if you like really in depth reviews. They might be a little too long though. Plus he takes a while to update, which is why you'll always be my favorite CC!

Remind cutters that they are agreeing to the no cutting rules by buying a ticket! Most maps/tickets say that you can not move through the line to meet with friends or even to use the bathroom! Remind them of this! Also I have seen it enforced at Cedar Point. A man tried meeting up with people and was sheepish enough to duck through people when security was called. We pointed him out though!

I tend to travel to parks accompanied by 2 young adults with autism who LOVE to ride anything and everything. A while back, I started to make a book (binder) for them with maps and photos downloaded from the internet of all of the parks, coasters, rides and waterpark features we had experienced. The idea was to have a book they could reference prior to visiting a park in order to remember what was there, so that places like King's Island and King's Dominion wouldn't be confused. I got a little lax about adding parks this year, so my resolution is to get back to work and get things updated before we start to ride again in March. Carowinds, here we come!

I'm going to try to start a site! I'll have it on a link soon enough.

Sound like a great idea! I'm going to make a point to learn about more parks worldwide & the different coaster companies.

You created Syndicate yourself!

You're right, though. We need to be more civilized here. The "Name Wars"(as I like to call it) a while back could have ended with a real fight if we were talking directly to one another. I don't want to be kicked off the site, so I know I'll behave.

P.S. I will be expanding my site soon. I plan to go around to Cedar Fair parks and actually start reviewing them. Maybe my reviews can help you on the ones you missed.

Theme Park Syndicate is way better than CoasterPortal, IMO.
