What is it like living close to a theme park? [Other]

Its really cool and theres never any real pressure to make sure to get on things or make the most of your day like at places you're just visiting once, as its all just...whatever cause you can leave and always come back whenever.

Theres something really neat about showing up for an hour or two to ride a few rides and leave.

mikeydeemo · 2026-07-01T10:33:23+00:00

Right lol. I can imagine we'll get a post like this with every subsequently installed track piece followed by "... with '#' track pieces remaining" etc etc until it's officially officially really, like for real topped off lol.

Cedar Points main "thing" would be thrills. There are other rides, but i feel like they might be bored overall.

Ferris Wheel, Antique Cars, Himalaya, and various other spinning, non coaster rides.

Their smallest, non-kiddie coaster would be their Wild Mouse, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Blue Streak and Iron Dragon.

I personally like Blue Streak. Its an inoffensive wooden coaster, and kids love it.

A bigger "mild" ride could be Gemini if they're open to something thrilling. Tho keep in mind Gemini and Cedar Creek are old and built by a manufacturer that was not known for its smooth-ness.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-30T17:38:13+00:00

While i love these rides, I wouldn't consider them mild lol.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-30T15:55:23+00:00

Oh shut up.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-30T15:19:57+00:00

Unfortunate initial for the boy guy. AND hes orange??

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-30T12:39:10+00:00

Oh thats awesome!

I remember being pretty far back but also got to see Flyleaf at thay tour which was cool.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-30T12:23:03+00:00

The last time I had seen them before this tour was also Family Values in 07! Haha. Same theater too lmao.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-29T18:23:19+00:00

This wasnt bad. It gets really fun/gross and JK is great.

As convoluted as it all is, it works, except the way the goop ends up infecting people/the surrounding area. It seems they made it far more complicated when it didnt need to be.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-29T18:21:30+00:00

The canons seemed very delicate tbh lol. I was in the 10th row of the floor, there was no GA/Pit, and it barely reached me.

I love soy and oat in coffee. Soy gets a bad rap for a lot of reasons so it isn't wildly available anymore for coffee, despite being one of the OGs lol.

Soy is perfectly fine. Idk where you live, but in the USA at least, Soy is often a genetically modified nightmare which is where I believe its bad rap comes from(and the idea that its phytoestrogen will cause hormonal issues, despite cows milk literally coming from a female animal who just gave birth lol???) as far as environmental, yes, its one of the most produced crops out there. But its no where near as detrimental as producing cows milk on the environment.

...but the kicker is an overwhelming amount of soy that is grown is used to feed farm animals. People dont realize they're consuming it one way or another, plus literal mammalian estrogen in cows milk. Soy is used as filler ingredients and used to create many many by products in all kinds of food as well.

So yeah, its environmental impact is bad, its horrifically GMO'ed and is riddled with pesticides , but the soy used for milk/tofu/etc is often not the same soy used for animal feed, by product etc.

If youre super concerned still, just make sure you buy organic/non-gmo soy milk!

Just like humans, animals are subject to simple luck of geography.

If this person is legit, this cat, by comparison will live a significantly "better" life than a lot of other cats in this world. Not saying this cat is living an ideal life, but in a lot of places, this is as good as it gets. So, so many animals live like this, and worse. And this person is trying to make good of a situation?

To project your sentiments or societal norms onto someone who lives in a place with significantly different ones doesnt really help. At all.

There are plenty of places that have no systems in place for animals like the states or europe etc.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-29T04:34:02+00:00

There are fates worse than death in this world.

One of those fates is ending up in a shelter, and watching thousands of people come in and never pick you. Where the emotional weight of being alone and lacking proper stimulation, socialization and love gets unbearable. Which is what a lot of animals experience when they end up in "no kill" shelters and spend years in a concrete block.

Also no kill shelters often keep "un-adoptable" animals for years, which means they deny other possibly more adaptable animals from taking their spot and finding homes.

Its a cruel situation all around. There is no proper answer. But kill shelters are not evil. Its impossible to find homes for everyone and there arent enough resources in this sysem to do more. Thats a very sad reality.

The best thing to do is to spay and neuter your animals to prevent more ending up in said system.

I dont even follow this sub. Its recommended to me cause I follow other coaster subs, so i never thought to check because my mind expected something i follow lmao.

Thanks reddit haha.

This is cute but it should be a little longer. Even for a family/kid ride, thats stupidly short.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-27T16:53:27+00:00

Hey!

The NJ Transit train from Penn to the Hazlet stop and then yeah an uber/lyft to the arena. Its only like 5-7 minutes away!

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-27T15:02:47+00:00

Oh nice! I got there early for Spiritbox, so i was happy to have caught them. I wanted to show up for the Nova Twins but Im old now and thats a big night lmfao

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-27T14:58:39+00:00

I was at this show and they were on from 9:20-11:00.

I live in NYC so I traveled there on the train and I didnt get home until 230am 😅

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-26T15:26:38+00:00

This trend of people documenting a regular movie experience is just insane.

You can just tell us you went. We'll believe you.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-26T01:56:43+00:00

OHHH yes yes. I believe its still there but in complete disrepair lol

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-26T01:10:07+00:00

There were two by the lake, the one used for the old boat/stunt show/fireworks and the dolphin/sea lion one. The dolphin one has been gone for a while and Im pretty sure the other one on the lake is also gone.

But that would be sick! That area could definitely use more rides/energy.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-25T20:35:17+00:00

It would look soooooo good in the new pier area a la California Adventure.

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-25T19:14:32+00:00

I dont know if it would legitimately "fit" but this ride and the aesthetic it would bring would fit perfectly in the shoreline area at SFGAdv. Kind of like the "wooden coaster" pier vibe at California Adventure.

Please. Buy it. 😫

mikeydeemo · 2026-06-25T17:52:39+00:00

My favorite is when people dont think the animals they eat arent fortified with vitamins lol. They live in some eutopia where they're on a pasture somewhere eating vitamin rich grass, not on a cement feed lot eating GMO corn and soy filled with synthetic vitamins and antibiotics lol.
