It was great to be back at the Dr. Phillips Center in Orlando for the National Tour of My Fair Lady! If you are a fan of this classic musical it is absolutely a MUST SEE! The current tour borrows the sets from the 2018 Broadway revival and the cast for the tour were fantastic! This was my first time seeing My Fair Lady (I know, I know...) and while we really enjoyed it, it does move a little slower than a more modern musical, but that being said, it was great to finally see this classic show! When you are planning travel to Orlando, remember there is a lot more to do than just the theme parks, and if you are a fan of the arts, then you should absolutely check the schedule at the Dr. Phillips Center to include a show during your Orlando vacation!

I have to agree with everyone here that you can't really judge if you haven't tried it in however many years, and if Prozach and I are agreeing you are probably on the wrong side of opinion here The homemade cooler lunch will be cheaper sure, but is it a better value in terms of quality and/or time? Leaving the park to eat is a time consuming hassle. I would say no, the new Farmhouse restaurant back by SV has some legit good stuff to eat and I don't mean just compared to other theme park food; but the point is you need to try it before you make a judgement or you're just assuming and you know what they say about that. For many families no specific ride matters more than another. Mom/Dad/Grandma/Grandpa may or may not want to or be able to ride much BUT if there are other things to do.......like a beach, bars, live music, cool places to eat and hang out, an old style beach pavilion with several of those things, etc, etc. then yes, it will attract families. You need to look at the boardwalk area as a whole not just how attractive one particular ride is. Families pay the high price for the Breakers not just for the convenience but also because some family members can enjoy the day doing things other than rides while other family members can stay at the park all day and no one is "stuck" waiting somewhere they don't want to be.

Totally valid, but all I'm saying is you don't know for sure the new food is garbage. You probably have a better chance at being right than wrong... but still. Occasionally food will surprise you. Also keep in mind, to some people convenience is worth the cost. I'm not so sure the ride will attract families as much as it may leave them with a more fulfilling experience that may bring them back.

I think it'll be more interesting if this is planned as an expansion team, or a relocation of say, the Tampa Bay Ray's. TBR desperately needs a new stadium and it's doubtful they'll get one in the Tampa area. At the same time, 1.7B is a lot of money--especially when DeSantis is in a pissing contest with Disney right now.

You've spoiled yourself, bro. Your expectations are too high. You're numb to the experience. Cedar Point wants to maintain its reputation as a destination. All of the things you aren't happy with will contribute to guests leaving more satisfied from a well rounded experience. Or, the park is trash. It's just fucking garbage. These additions are the worst ever. Close the park. Tear it down.

Maybe, maybe not; BUT I can tell you whenever we talk to non enthusiasts about belonging to a "roller coaster club" the layman's term I usually use and traveling around to numerous theme parks, they almost always say something like "oh, have you ever heard of a place called CedarPoint", lol. I mean it's become a family inside joke. CP is definitely on the radar of the gp.

^ my best friend and his son - both of whom are NOT thrill ride people (they go with me to SWSA & SFFT, and the most extreme thing we ride is the Carousel, or sometimes Texas Stingray - which I'd compare to Gemini in size) sent me links to the media from CP Boardwalk launch. and asked me if we should plan a trip for August. so there you go. the Boardwalk area attracted a non-CP park goer (tho I can't claim it was the wild mouse - it was probably just as much the flats over there, and the pavillion overlooking the great lake).

When getting congratulated on a job well done, does a cowboy get a round-up of applause?

Just got an email from Playland, asking me to (finally) register online, for my Season Pass there. Which I dutifully did. So, I get to pick up my photo pass (Yes, they're back to that!) on Opening Day, June 03. I get a one day pass to enter, etc. Kewl! Looking forward to seeing what's new/old/surprising there this season. And eventually, riding Coaster with (ugh) seat belts for First Ride. Who knows? With my physical health at my age ... probably better with the belt, heh. Recent overhead shot of Playland, with the new flat ride in place during last summer's PNE. (middle right of shot) Funny thing is .... it hardly operated, during the entire two weeks of The Fair.

Someone finds this every couple years. It's an element specifically designed to increase capacity and reliability...
