Yeah, like Elissa said, planning later in the year would the safest bet if you really want those two rides. I booked my trip to CW for October based partially on the uncertainly around AlpenFury's opening date. If it's any consolation, CP's website does say that that Siren's Curse is scheduled to open "early summer" and with the track work being completed recently I see no reason to doubt that (barring any sort of TT2-esque nonsense). Remember that the new "Six Flags" parent company is like 99% old Cedar Fair employees and Rapterra was good to go at King's Dominion on their opening day 3 weeks ago. And yes, the "legacy" CF parks all have separate phone apps, and you need to log into each separately. It's been so long since I've done it I can't recall if its a single account/login (I'm pretty sure it is but I could be wrong) or if you need to load your pass in to each one separately. Is your pass purchased from a SF park with the All-Park add on, or from a CF park with the All-Park add on? I bought my pass with the add on through a CF park, and when I load it into the SF app it doesn't show up as an actual season pass, but rather a "Gold Pass Daily Ticket" that doesn't expire. Not sure if that would work the other way around too. -

I think eventually we will get a Hyper. Eventually. Will it happen next year or the year after? Probably not. But I think within 10 years time it could happen. As much as I would love a hyper, I think filling out the park would be better. There is a ton of unused dead space in the park, and that makes the park seem empty. Like the space around sky screamer, where tidal wave used to be. I would love to see an expansion of hurricane harbor. There are three basically unused parking lots that are basically weed infested every year that could be used for that. -

Titan looks great. It's much less obnoxious. -
You have to wait. It's just the way all parks are nowadays. Plan for late summer for sure and there will be a lot less stress and anxiety! -

Agreed. Save it for a Monday or Tuesday to get the most out of it, even if it means waiting in long lines on Saturday and Sunday. There really aren't many slow days at CP. Dang. That's a legit tool. Looks like it's predicted to be quiet on my 40th birthday trip, too. -
I'm trying to plan a trip around Lake Erie but these darn new coasters are making it difficult. My plan is to visit Michigan's Adventure, Canada's Wonderland, Darien Lake, Waldameer, and Cedar Point. My intention was to take this trip after Alpenfury and Siren's Curse were up and running but it seems there's no idea on when that may be. With Six Flags being involved I'm guessing they'll be New For 2027 but a man can dream. My problem is I need to make some more concrete plans than "this summer" and I don't know when would be the smartest time to go. Honestly I'm only expecting crowds at CW and CP but I'm paralyzed by the choice between visiting early to beat summer break and probably miss the new rides or visit later and deal with crowds and heat. I'd love to say I can just wait until September but my autumn is pretty solidly booked already and the operational calendars of these parks make it difficult to have an efficient trip after labor day. Also, while we're on the topic, I've got the all-park passport loaded on my Six Flags app and it's updated to the latest edition, yet it refuses to show anything Cedar Fair related. I noticed Cedar Fair apps are for each park, so do I have to annoyingly download three separate apps and load my pass onto all of them to get into the parks, or will they accept the one loaded on the Six Flags app? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks for the help! -

I mean, Six Flags is trying to turn Darien Lake into a 4-day resort if we're going by their ads. Maybe climate change is making these guys focus on the north? Buffalo - The New Orlando. They both even end in O.

14 million plus people travel to within a couple miles of the entrance gates annually. A population to pull in from is not the problem no matter what it looks like. You can sit here and list dozens and dozens of parks that live and many that thrive on much, much less. -

I have watched a lot of Youtube videos on Niagra Falls area and while the falls, Maid of the Mist, and other falls/river activities look busy; Marineland, Clifton Hill, the local casinos always appear dead. Does the Niagra area have enough local people to buy passes? Are people from out of the area seeking an amusement park? Would people visiting from larger cities rather have a Six Flags/Cedar Fair pass and visit their local park more often? During the 9 months of the year of colder weather, is is worth the cost to staff and maintain the park when people with money are flying south to Florida for amusements? -
I believe the distances I maintained would fit behind the restrooms and changing rooms. There's a fair bit of space in between Batman and HH. -
Cool Layout!! seems a bit intrusive into HH to become reality though. It's a gut feeling, but I just cannot imagine SFSTL ever getting a Hyper. Something around 150/175 feet maybe, but not 200 or more. -

That's true! We have decided since this is a really a trip I have been waiting for all my life we broke down and splurged on a nicer room. So we will be arriving Sunday afternoon and then leaving Friday! So the only thing that can bring me down is if the rides are down. Tony said he expects sirens curse to be apart of cosstermania and that's June 6th. I know the word "expects" isn't definitive but I'm hoping for. Super excited. The only thing that can bring me down is the rides being down -

I look as this time as early summer so it wont be as busy as July. I think Michigan schools will just be getting out around that time and I think New York is still in or about to finish the week of your visit. Sunday will be less busy then Sunday and could see it getting less crowed as the day goes on. People who stayed on Property might start leaving to get back home. Weather can always play a factor could be amazing could just be crap. If the weather looks crappy on Sunday might get a low crowed afternoon or any of your days really. You will have more then enough time to relax and still ride everything you want. Last point is we still have no idea when Siren's Curse will be opening. Just something to think about.
