  1. I personally wouldn't try this, while waiting in the SRL on a recent trip to the park, I saw the flash pass attendant confront a group of 2 trying to use the SRL and they were re-directed to the regular line. ---- I'd say the top 3 to do first are (1) Joker - It'll be the new coaster next year, so obviously everyone will be heading there first (2) Goliath - Still gets full queues. I'd recommend the SRL (Unless you're coming to the park with others) (3) V2 - Low Capacity, line fills up quickly About the Gravestone thing, it's just for fun/memories It is perfectly fine to use the SRL if a party of 2. The attendant should be told to pound sand as long as your following the rules. You just have to take what's open and not refuse to split up. You can't request to stay together or wait till 2 spots open up. On Superman 2 spots open up frequently from my experience.
  2. First avoid a weekend unless your buying a flash pass. Weekday plan: 1)Goliath first. Wait in regular cue 1st ride to get 1st or back. Then, re ride using the single riders line which will be short. The regular line will be 30-45 minutes fairly quickly most of the time. 2)Xflight lines are sporadic, but don't wait more than 35 minute b/c it will clear out at some point during the day and be 15 minutes or so. Best ride IMO is the front left outside. Go to Xflight second after a few Goliath rides and the line will likely 25 minutes or less 3)2)Ride Raging Bull mid afternoon, it usaully clears out from like 2-4pm and can be power ridden. The line for it moves really fast even if seems long if the crew isn't incompetent b/c of it's 3 train capacity. 4)Superman can get long lines. Superman is not really worth waiting more than 20 minutes in regular line IMO. So to avoid use the single rider line, which is again usually very short 5-10 minutes. . People don't even seem to realize the single rider line. Even if you're in a party of 2 you often can ride together. 5) Don't wait for Batman if you see any line beyond 2 or 3 switch backs. The ride clears out around 5-7pm and turns into a walk on or 5 minutes. You can marathon it if you wish. Ride in the back row. People will be lined up from the front not knowing the best ride is the back. 6)Hit V2 front row, again sporadic line but always has clear out periods. After 8 most everything has pretty short waits except Goliath, which will still be the longest line in the park. It's the longest line in the park all day, that's why you hit it first. I would say try it again later if the single rider line is short and do 1 night ride. Goliath, Batman, Raging Bull, Xflight are worthy of making sure of a night ride.
  3. LOL. DK got a coaster in 2016 and MM in 2015. They weren't really at the top of the cue for a new coaster. 2 of thee parks that got 4D's hadn;t had something new for longer periods, ie.. SFOT not since 2011. 2018 the new coasters are likely IMO, not going to in CA parks either b/c OG, Am, Stl are in desperate need and haven't gotten anything since 2011, 2012, 2013 respectively. I think OG and Am will get a RMC conversion or a 4D and Stl a 4D. LaRonde could also be in for a coaster, none since 2010, if 1 of the above is left out or possibly if SF is feeling really good about the finances.
  4. If you look up this park they haven't added a coaster since 2007 and most of their 10 coasters are extremely old. They probably announced a coaster for 2018 now just to show people they have something to look forward to. The last park addition was a Sky Fly in 2015. Also, rumors of a new coaster have been around since 2015 that a coaster was coming 2017, now it's confirmed for 2018. Parks already know what they are going to do years in advance in most cases. SF and CF probably have their 2018 plans with 90% to 95% certainty and may make small alterations. 2019 plans are like 80%+ certainty and will alter slightly if their is a downturn in revenue.
  5. Take your meds. You're a SF fantard. SF has installed junk compared to CF for years. There is a reason that SF has no Giga's and CF 3 since 2010. SF is cloning the garbage 4D's b/c they are cheap and idiots like you will keep buying passes no matter how many non thrilling garbage 4D's they install.
  6. It's a horrible year in the US. Worldwide there are plenty.
  7. I mean, I want my home park to have a $30 million budget for rides too... But yea, it ain't happening. Just once I want some of the few remaining SFGAm fans around here to have realistic expectations and insightful speculation. Enough with the Coaster Nerd wet dreams. Some of things the park needs: 1)Flat ride package is a desperate need: some possible great additions to choose from -Zamperla Giant Discovery -Zamperla Hawk -Zamperla Endeavour -Huss Enterprise 2GH/2GH Plus -Huss Fly Away -Gmbh Sky Roller -Gmbh Sky Fly -Mondial Inferno -Mondial Top Scan -Sky Screamer (prefer windseekers but SF uses skyscreamers unlike CF) -S&S screaming swing 2)Launch Coaster-many good options that are in SF current price range of 10M and under for coasters -Sky Rocket III (Throttle @ SFMM) -Sky Rocket II(Superman @ SFDK) -S&S El Loco (Galeforce @ Ocean City) -Infinity Coaster (Karacho @ Erlebnispark Tripsdrill) -Zierer Tower launch (Impulse @ Knoebels) 3)Non-Launch Coasters -Chance Hyper GT-X (Lightning Run @ Kentucky Kingdom) -Euro Fighter 3 models to choose from or custom -Zamperla - (Thunderbolt @ Luna Park)
  8. Cedar Point is spending a ridiculous amount of money on additions already. They're currently making huge expansions to 2 hotels and expanding and renovating the water park all while a major RMC coaster project seems to be going on and they're building a sports complex off point and relocating a 200 foot Sky Coaster. Plus they just built the world's tallest dive coaster this year. The Breakers expansion is for 2018... The sports complex isn't a huge expense for them, relocating a sky coaster is peanuts. I'm still going with 2017. No RMCs announced, nothing has been announced in park. They are already working on Mean Streak and closed it early and teased it. 2017 seems logical The announcement will be soon, they didn't announce Rougoru for 2 to 3 weeks after constant teasing.
  9. CF doesn't do ridiculous pushes for season pass sales. If they were so concerned about driving pass sales in the fall, they would give the farm away like Six Flags does during the flash sale and even their sale now.
  10. LOL...There is nothing in that statement that leads to anything.
  11. Cedar Point is spending a ridiculous amount of money on additions already. They're currently making huge expansions to 2 hotels and expanding and renovating the water park all while a major RMC coaster project seems to be going on and they're building a sports complex off point and relocating a 200 foot Sky Coaster. Plus they just built the world's tallest dive coaster this year. I don't think there's any reason to expect any major in-park additions for 2017. They're spending a pretty incredible amount of money already. The hotels are bringing in huge revenue, that's why they are expanding them. The last completed hotel changes lowered capacity, as they removed 1 wing of Breakers and made the remaining 1 much better. The plan was to add another wing back if the hotel attendance was good. It has been excellent, thus just 2 years later they are adding a new wing. Hotel revenue for CF was a record over 200+ million in their last annual report. The sports complex is 23million but will again be a cash cow. They will host tournaments and the attendance will often stay in CF hotels b/c they will surely offer them deals on lodging and park entry. It will be a great ROI. Also, CF has no problem spending money, they made capital investments of 170M in 2015 and 150M in 2016. They have been making huge investments and their total debt has been stable since 2011. Spending 10-15M on a RMC for 2017 is not holding them back. The reason RMC has no projects for 2017 could be that MS is a massive job and they need to put as many crews on it as if they were doing their normal 2 coasters or so per year.
  12. RMC in past years has had many projects. 2016 they had 4 coasters, 2013 thru 2015, 2 coasters each year. RMC has not announced any projects in 2017 possibly b/c Mean Streak is a massive job and CP wants it done for 2017. The renovation of Mean Streak is equivalent to doing 2 coasters in size and cost. Thus, RMC will deploy more crews to it rather than doing more projects.
  13. Cedar Point handling of this is poor IMO. They had to know people would be watching the park for any signals of what's happening. They weren't going to be able to keep people from "snooping". Now, the official announcement will be less buzz worthy b/c it was leaked. The only buzz now is if they show rendering of the proposed new layout.
  14. Until Cedar Point officially announces it there will be some people looking for evidence of any pic being photoshopped
