Mr. Skyward?

Mr. Skyward?

I have a few questions about this strange CP addict. I searched his name, and found a few posts about him. I remember hearing about him a lot when I first started visiting GTTP back in 2002. But not that much lately.

Why havn't we heard much about him lately? Does he still visit CP? Why is he so popular (just because he loves CP A LOT?) Has he ever been a poster here? And is Mr. Skyward his real name?

I know all of these questions probably have been asked and answered in the past, so please forgive me for annoying you. But I am just a very curious person.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

I am not sure which one he is, but there are more than a few odd ones that have been accounted for. The Rotor Man stands out as an all time favorite of many.

That's woo man.

My Skyward has been around. I believe I saw him this year. I know last year I saw him. He's a very odd duck.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

No, Jesz is referring to an older gentleman, beard, glasses, Raptor shirt or sweatshirt, who (a) is at Cedar Point so frequently that you can pretty much expect to see him there on any given operating day, and (b) is usually looking up (hence the nickname).

It seems to me that he has a lot in common with a guy I met at Knott's back in December of 2006 by the name of Richard Krieger. I didn't get to ride that day, but April joined him for his...I think it was something like his 19,500th ride on Xcelerator...

Re: Mr. Skyward?

Ahh I know who you're talking about. I see him just about every time I'm there, usually multiple times throughout the day. My friends tell me I'm bad when I start to remember the ride ops names and recognize park guests.

We'll miss you MrScott

Re: Mr. Skyward?

He's at the park so frequently, he somehow managed to get in a few of my photos this season, and I wasn't aiming at him. I see him when I visit, so he's still around.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

^ lol that's too funny.

Josh, I was just asking because I havn't heard of him in a while on here. I don't get to CP as much as I would like (only twice this season so far). So I wouldn't know if he's at CP a lot or not. I was just curious as to who he was, and if he was still around or not.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

While on the subject, I was just reading further into my "Mr. Skyward" search and came across this: http://www.pointbuzz.com/Forums/Thread/6894.aspx?page=1 It is a story that someone started in the off season, but it quickly turned into a story completely about Mr. Skyward. It is hilarious. Especially when he goes to the bathroom to eat a hamburger, and later goes back to the bathroom...where he ate again.

I am only on the 3rd page, so I am not sure if it will turn direction or not. But I just thought it would be funny for some who havn't read it, or for some that have and forgot about it. Enjoy.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

I have seen him about 10 times this year, as well as many times in previous years. What's funny is that I have never ever seen him ride anything. He just walks around looking up at the sky. His ghost will probably haunt CP someday. Then we'll really have some halloweekends.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

It seems that he rides Scrambler and Dodgem quite a bit, so I usually see him a few times a week. I think I've heard him speak once this summer, but he normally just smiles and goes on his way. Definitely an odd fellow...but oh well, its not really any of my business. It does make me laugh a little, how "legendary" he is amongst CP fans.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

Has the woo guy been around at all this year? I remember seeing him several times last year at Millennium, but I've yet to see him recently.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

I've seen the Millennium Force "woo" guy a few times this season. And Mr. Skyward was at the park today.

He really takes in the entire park. I saw him on the sidewalk by the beach today. I've seen him on Millennium Force and Raptor too. He goes where the wind takes him.

Re: Mr. Skyward?

Is he the one who also wears the Halloweekends sweaters too?

Whee

Re: Mr. Skyward?

Is anyone else creeped out by this thread?

Goodbye MrScott

Re: Mr. Skyward?

It's not as bad as the other threads where people post photos of him.
