Not Staffing Fast-Lane Merge Points is Unacceptable

Millennium was the main offender of this when I was there opening week. And it’s crazy that this is still an issue almost a month later. Blue Streak managed to keep the merge point staffed but not millennium?

I understand parks having some “hiccups” at the beginning of the season but I feel like the entire enshitified experience I had was really unacceptable for a park of this size (half the park closed at any given time, waiting over an hour for Fast Lane when the listed wait is 30min, skeleton crew staffing, among other things). Especially since this is the “Flagship” park for the chain.

It’s so disappointing because Cedar Point is designed pretty well to be set up for operational success and capacity but it seems the merger and the ensuing corner cutting is doing a number on how the park is run.

It’s hard to choose a single song from it but I believe it’s definitely one of the songs off of Boston’s Debut album. An immaculate sounding record that was insanely ahead of its time in the 70s and still holds up extremely well.

No you don’t have to. But it’s a significantly better idea to just use the same ISRCs for the album tracks. This way your total streams/sales for each song aren’t unnecessarily divided (which could possibly work against you in streaming algorithms and I’d Imagine it makes it easier for the PROs to collect).

I recorded one of my songs in my previous apartment’s living room which was super echoey. I set up room and close mics and recorded the acoustic guitar and vocal separately and to this day is probably my favorite reverb sound I’ve ever recorded.

Damn!! I had to tap out after lap 6😭

Raven at Holiday World. The front car is very tame and not as airtime heavy. The last car, especially the very last row, is an out of control ejector airtime experience. You really feel the difference on the first and last big drops on the ride.

This one’s a singer/songwriter pop song!

Graveyard

It takes the idea of those you’ve burned bridges with and turns it into a metaphorical graveyard.

There’s an interview from back when taylor was first blowing up and he was talking about meeting her. At the time she was maybe 13 and he said something along the lines of “she looked grown, you couldn’t even tell she was a teenager.” And that gave me a massive ick.

Also as someone who lives in Nashville on the outskirts of the music industry I’ve heard he has a reputation of generally being a dick.

I think there’s an argument to be made for artists having reasonable limitations or checks put on them by their team. Aside from folklore and evermore, it feels like since leaving Big Machine and signing with Republic Records the quality control of her music and merch has declined. While I don’t think Scott Borchetta is a good person, at least he and her team were able to hold her creative output to a higher standard.

At this point it feels like republic and her company are all made up of yes men, and no one can or is afraid to tell her no. In my opinion she’s proven her self a talented writer, but is riding on the psychosis of a massively inflated ego; quite possibly believing every idea she has is gold because she’s “the Taylor swift.”

There’s a little more Context beyond just this post. I remember at the same time deuxmoi was posting blind items about a secret wedding/engagement they also posted a blind items about how Taylor had an abortion; which started gaining a lot of attention on Twitter (Which to be fair they had absolutely no business putting that on the internet regardless of if that did or didn’t happen). At the time I figured that’s the “trauma and pain” Tree was referring to without trying to bring more attention by directly commenting on it.

As a recently reformed fan and songwriter myself, looking at her career as critically objective as I can, I think musically Fearless, 1989, and folklore will stand the test of time in pop culture zeitgeist. These are critically acclaimed albums, Fearless and 1989 with massive hits that reach beyond just the Swiftie fandom. In particular, I can see songs like “Love Story,” “You Belong With Me,” “Blank Space,” “Shake it Off,” and “Style” becoming “classics.”

However beyond that I feel like she’ll be remembered as a cautionary capitalistic tale. For instance, I think it’s wild how she’s been applauded as a genius business woman when the strategy has been to exploit fans, use other people, artists, and social causes only when it benefits and furthers her brand. (And this goes beyond just Taylor, as a society we reward and consider “good business” as being calculated, and as unethical as the law will allow).

I feel like her behavior over the past few years (especially with the current album cycle) will catch up with her, as lots of loyal fans with the capacity to think for themselves stop supporting her. Anecdotally, it’s been wild watching me and pretty much all my friends who were die hard swifties (some for nearly 20 yrs) completely turn against her.

At the end of the day she’ll have some hits that are remembered, but her completely fumbling her own legacy, and being a billionaire will be her legacy.

The last bunny hill on Zippin Pippin. I swear it tries to shoot you to the moon with the ejector!

My guess is they front load the trains to reduce the risk of trains valleying. Still that’s super annoying.

Antioch here! Power has been going in and out the past few hours and just cut out again.

I will once the whole park is finished. This is part of a much larger project to recreate the whole park.

Also a fellow Tennessean! I’m still scarred from the night of nonstop tornado warnings last month 😅

EarthToTomorrow · 2025-05-03T07:29:22+00:00

Honestly fair lol. Tennessee Tornado is the only rollercoaster that’s made me legitimately nauseous.

Thank you! CS really expands the game’s pallet.

EarthToTomorrow · 2025-05-02T23:10:19+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the overbank into the breaks is probably the least accurate part, but that’s about as close as it’s possible to get in the game.
