Actually if you hit the shop near the shooting gallery in the back of the park, some bargains can be found.

I agree with you, I just had this image in my mind of kids dressed up as as wizards in July running around this new land having conversations like this.

^ My guess is that conversations WILL be overheard like the above. I would also guess that you will see GUESTS dressing up for this.

As a person who has read the books, I think the amount of detail is very impressive. But I get what Robb is saying, if you have not read the books or seen the movies, the new land would not make much sense, things such as the owlery, the Hogwart's express, Ollivanders etc. Maybe the land needs a flyer that people who have not read the books or seen the movies can take to "translate" the attractions. My guess Robb is when you go there, there will be enough kids going crazy and saying things like "Hey look, there is Ollivander's.... where everyone got their wand, well we all know that the wand selects the wizard, and remember when ollivander was kidnapped by voldemort, whose wand was made from a feather from the same Phoenix as Harry's and both feathers came from Fawkes, Dumbledore's Phoenix." that you will be quickly brought up to speed just by listening to the crowds. Either that or you will want to strangle them. Great TR by the way, all except for the hideous b*oncos t-shirt. I really hate those guys.

^So could we if we just did one ride on each, we will decide which one we are going to first, either Mav or MF, will usually ride twice, then head to Raptor.

^ I find that when I park in the back and enter through the water park gate at 9am, we can get on either Maverick OR MF once or twice, then go to Raptor and usually get over to WT just before 10. Then on to Magnum and Gemini with little or no wait.

^ Mum is the word at CP

Thanks! I did not go to hear Walter speak. Lines were way too short that night! I wish I had taken more pics. I am sure others that went on the MF and Maverick tours will post some great pics. I did see several Club TPR shirts on Sat.

Seems so, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. The Intamins have all been good, in my opinion. I think the new ride will be a good exciting flat ride. Coaster will be after this next addition.

My main thing is if the coaster is fun. I guess that is most important. This is why i like some coasters that others do not. I would rather ride Maverick and Magnum over TTD at CP. (usually that is due to the line, but still, it is fun over thrill for me). I find MF is a great balance of both as well.

I did, I guess it was not a very good one.

Gotta admit that would be very cool.

Oh forgot to mention one thing. Coastermania was great if for no other reason the "What is going to happen to Demon Drop?" question is a thing of history .

I thought Cedar Point did an excellent job with Coastermania this year. The Friday evening appetizers were tasty, as was the lunch on Saturday. Got a cool new Coastermania hoodie and of course best of all, rode a bunch of great coasters. GP crowds both days were moderate light, the line for Dragster was actually shorter right before 10PM than at the start of ERT. Maverick at 9pm on Friday was about 30min. Never waited more than 10 minutes for Magnum and Wicked Twister . I would think that most that attended will agree that it was well done by Cedar Point. I actually left after the lunch on Saturday to drive back to Columbus as my daughter and I had ridden everything we wanted to, several times and we were rather worn out. I did not take many photos, but here are some of Coastermania and some random photos of Columbus Zoo's recent addition. First stop was Wicked Twister. I know I know this is not the quality of Zach's recent photos, but i am pretty sure his lenses cost more than my car. By the way Zach, awesome photos in your recent TR. The beach and Magnum in the distance. Rode in the last car of Magnum exclusively on this trip. I think it it is best seat for the ride. My daughter and the bestest coaster riding buddy in the world. I recently watched Bill and Ted. I think I captured Iggyace in this blurry photo. MMMMmmmm Raptor. One of my faves Saturday morning around 7am. Trash Can Trivia: If you wanted to deposit a piece of trash in every trash can in Cedar Point, it would take you 23.5 year. Trash Can Trivia: The volume of all the trash cans combined in Cedar Point is greater than that of the Grand Canyon. I heart ERT I really do love ERT. I mean I actually want to marry it. My daughter and me wearing my TPR shirt. Do I get free stuff now? Free stuff is cool. Well usually, unless someone tells you 'let me give you some free advice".... that usually sucks. Mean Streak, keeping chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons employed since 1991. Aww, my daughter and a huge Snoopy that she wanted. I managed to say no. New addition to the Columbus Zoo. Bears are cool. They have a rather cool underwater viewing area for the bear Final Picture, Kayla likes Woodstock too. Thanks for reading. I really should have forwarded these pics to Natalie and let her come up with the captions.

Yes, Cedar Fair has not spent ANY money on new rides this year.

^ That has always been my thing about MS, just when something seems like it will be fun, it isn't. I do find the ride very rough and I punish my spine once a year to a ride on MS.

I hope STR is open for Coastermania ERT next Saturday morning. Although, that could be some VERY chilly ERT.

I did watch this again and did find some questions that remain unanswered... the entire Jericho thing being a big one. It would be cool to see the next season....

Interesting and decent end. Left off just as it started.

Nice TR, have not made it yet to see the new bears.

Nice TR, will be at CP next Fri, Sat and Sunday for Coastermania. The problem I have with the food at CP is more the quality rather than the price. I do not mind paying a little more, but the quality should be there. I can not stomach the burger and fries walk ups around the park. I do like the pulled pork at a few locations, (Montgomery Inn...yum) and the fries at a few spots. But other than that, not much. Now price does play a part as well. My daughter who could easily eat Panda Express EVERY day for EVERY meal, noticed that a Panda bowl was 8.75 and turned around and told me, "I love Panda, but 8.75? Seriously?" The other decent option in the park is the Midway Market, but it is also pricey, however, at least you leave there full. (Usually full of desserts) I find that Famous Dave's is a good option. It is also not difficult to bring a small cooler and one of those self igniting bags of charcoal and throw some dogs on the grill outside the gate. It is less expensive and gets you out of the sun for a while.

This may have sold my daughter on a trip to Dollywood, she loves this sort of thing. Will more than likely change our plans. Great photos of this very cool new attraction.

Yes, Broccoli makes me vomit. Will you affirmatively answer this question negatively?

I saw him twice solo, did not get to see him fronting Black Sabbath or Heaven and Hell. Iconic voice. Just watched a show on VH1 Headbangers Journey, I think it was called. Good show and RJD invited the film maker to his home. Best voices in metal ever are RJD and Bruce Dickinson.

I was there on opening day as well, the entire area of STR is very nice and in my opinion, very well themed. It really does not matter, fault can always be found for something, which frequently happens for some reason when people discuss CP.
