    • I shouldn't be too surprised, but a small part of me was hoping with this change, they would potentially swap out the restraints with vest ones, but that might be more work than they want or can do. I am looking forward to this makeover though, it's a cool idea for a retheme.
    • This issue happen once before. Everyone complained that they didn't fit and then the seat belts slowly got adjust some.   
    • Guess I was wrong. I really did think the belts didn't fit any differently than at the end of last season. Oh well. Glad they are addressing it!
    • Yeah, Don's not still bitter at all.  /s  What a catty, immature reply.
    • Yup! All the assholes online were, (shocker) just being assholes in dismissing all the people noticing the belts were shorter.  Oh hope not! 34 is wild. I was 36 in college! Even when I was a good bit thinner (and fitter) was 38 so I sure hope that's not the case! But yeah I've mentally prepared for prob not fitting, and while that's bc of the random belt shortening I still gotta lose some pounds and have put that off for years, so I'll consider MForce 2027 the reward🤣  I will say I am impressed with Tony/the park being so responsive! Even for $$$ reasons its best to keep your rabid fans happy. 
    • Not really. Opening day was friday and I have learned to stay away when the park is only open 11-5 as it is a giant sea of yellow school busses and not very good ops, So I am sure most others do too. I did stop in yesterday for about a hour on my way home but it was raining pretty hard. The park was packed, main lot was full and concert parking lot had quite a few cars and tons of busses. park looked good and clean . upgrades to landscaping were noticed. I grabbed lunch and coasters started testing. I saw all the coasters testing except boomerang and motocoaster before I left as it was sprinkling again and the temperature dropped. The park looked welI staffed overall and I was told by a friend who was there all day that everything was open after noon (which is just normal here, especially the coasters), all running one train ops as usual. He told me about 30-45 minute waits on ROS and predator and Predator had actual airtime and is even smoother than last year. I will stop in next weekend to try out my season fast lane and leave a short review of ops. Thats as close to a opening day report as I can give. This IS normal here.
    • It really says something, imo, that there are zero posts about opening day. Anybody happen to go? I heard they only had two coasters going (and one train ops of course), was it really that bad?
    • it's confirmed.. they had installed much shorter seatbelts. apparently the general consensus is that size 34 waist is the max fit (at the moment). the park (Tony) has responded, and they will be working to put in the corrected belts over the "coming weeks"  
    • Thanks for confirming! I was seeing too many independent reports and people really stressing, "Ive ridden this many times, it seems tighter" to think it was some mass hysteria. Im typical internet fashion was lots of gaslighting "haha I didnt notice a thing, this isnt real quit following the internet sheeple" and fat jokes etc etc  Well Tony Clark has confirmed it IS Indeed a real thing. That "Intamin directly supplies the seat belts, and its been identified they are shorter than the manufacturers specifications"  They shall work to address it. So yup, no one is crazy! It was a thing. Im sure all the assholes on line will not admit they were wrong or apologize lol   I'll still be working to lose a few pounds by June 5 as  I should be anyway, here's to hoping its resolved ASAP 
    • There was a lot of seatbelt fumbling and several walks of shame per train observed when I was there on Sunday. Capacity was less than half of what I normally observe. Also, my seatbelt appeared to be installed upside-down, requiring a half twist to buckle.
    • Everyone has been quick to blame Six Flags (which to be fair, is a fair assumption) but its like "no. Cedar Point is always like this on opening day/weeks"
    • I reckon they got greedy and pushed their luck but ya know these days ya cant rule anything out! Just glad its back! I was thinking about it the concept wasn't so bad just that price was crazy for what was offered. If it was cheaper w better offerings, for locals maybe not so bad. But wild to replace coastermania w it. Have that be its own stand alone thing maybe w or 3 times but yeah, wild!    Thanks! Its funny been meaning to get my ass in better shape for a while now 1 I am deff heavier than Ive been before 2 those tight fits (esp on El Toro that one cut it close!) did make me think OK gotta deal with this. I'll try the ChatGPT! Anything that helps. Little late for me come June but hopefully by Sept I can a bit trimmer.    That is what I chucked it up to as well, I know people lets say....need traffic for their YT videos... and others don't always know a situation, so perhaps their was some gun jumping. bc yeah I thought it was well known early days is always kind of a mess at Cedar Point. Its why I never go toooo early. 
    • I still don't know what to believe about this whole 'coastermania event debacle'!  Part of me almost wonders if they did this on purpose to get more attention to the event?!?! I mean, they had to see that no one would be interested in that morning rush idea?!?!
