LOL, funny that you were thinking of my pigeon problem:)
But on a serious note......
I could take a position over the large E and drape myself with a white sheet. Add a 4power scope to my crossman and I could bring large amounts of pain to the bird population there. What state is that in BTW, I saw water.

I used to know an old lady that paid for services like that KBarr, could be some nice pocket cash for ya... though you'd have to kill the bloodthirsty 10-12 year olds she usually hires first. You'd actually be doing the world a favor on top of it!

Cedar Pointe is badass, I went there w/ the family when I was in 6th grade. Although I think the only rides that you listed that were there at the time was Magnum and the Raptor..at the time Magnum was the tallest coaster in the world, probably not anymore though ;p

How bad was the wait on Top Thrill Dragster? Was 3.5 hours for us because it was shut down every 5 cars it seemed.
Raptor will always be my favorite, and I'm through with Mantis. It's without a doubt the roughest ride you'll ever get on a coaster. It leaves marks in your shoulders, boxes your ears, and crushes your balls.

dragster didnt shut down all day when i was there, but 4 hour wait said the little sign. so i didnt wait for it. it was 4 hours from the gate point. and there was a line outside the gate part back to the grandstand part. so probably 5 hour wait. crazy. i'll have to go back and do it on a day when like noone else is there. tuesday or something.
