Cedar Fair owns both parks and more than 10 others in the States. I agree with you on Paramount. In the 12 years they owned the park they only put in one truly great ride: Top Gun. Thank god Cedar Fair bought the park from them :D
Paramount also had some sort of speed-limiters on their coasters too. The year I went after Paramount sold the park, I immediately noticed an increase in speed on the Vortex, and I can't ride the wooden coasters anymore because of it (too damn bumpy, they ing hurt).
First ride on Behemoth was amazing. Now I make sure I leave enough room on the leg-bar for my fist to fit sideways between my leg and the bar, that extra floating space when you're no-handing it just adds a whole new level to the ride :p

Top Gun (or whatever they renamed it after the Paramount sale) is still my favourite though. As bad as it is for the neck gotta love the loopty loops on that one.
what's its name now? Vortex?

Vortex is the other suspended ride that goes up and around the mountain. Top Gun was renamed Flight Deck

The brutal job on renaming rides associated with actual movies was probably the worst part about the sale lol... It's like when they renamed the Skydome, just can't get used to the new name after calling it something for so long.

Cool. I was confused.
I've been on both, but more recently to Vortex.

It was nice at first but got annoying after the 50th time if it was a long lineup

never, I could loop this all day long
*~LiSa-LoO~*
This thread has prompted a decision to go back to Cedar Point. I was spoiled having that park essentially in my backyard. So happy that Cedar Fair has taken over Canada's Wonderland.
