IamA a former Ride Operator at Cedar Point: The Roller Coaster Capital of The World, AMA!

1) They have been banned since I have worked there, but I don't know when it happened specifically. Honestly, it annoys me too, especially when things like chest GoPro's are made for that kind of extreme activity. It's hard to argue that other than "It's policy, sorry". I understand the policy from a liability stand-point, but yes, it's obnoxious with those cameras.

2) I am from out of town. I was a live in-worker, and yes, there is some real crazy shit. The first room I was in, on the second night I was there, a male physically assaulted a female right outside my open door. Yikes. I've also seen someone spaz out in the grass and be revived. Not sure of the cause.

3) Two worst cases I have seen were on Millennium Force and Windseeker. A couple kids were in the front seat of Millennium Force on a particularly bad night and they were re-riding. You could take spatula to their shirts and scrape it off. On Windseeker, it was a morning before the park opened and all the Muffleheads were in the seats in a puddle of water. I honestly gag thinking about the smell.
