So I'm here an hour and a half before opening and there's like 100 cars in front of me. Yeah that all season fast lane was worth it LOL.

If people wanna dream of Jersey Devil opening on Memorial Day, let them. My money is on Labor Day.

It looks exactly as it did on the 2019 map. Pretty sure it's just a re-name.

The last time Twisted Timbers ran, in 2019, they did nothing similar to what is being done at SV. There was a metal detector in the station - if it went off, they handed you a red card. If it didn't, you got a green one. When you got into the train and had a red card, the operators watched you put your cell phone in the under-seat pouch. Or not...I never had anyone say anything to me despite having plenty of red cards.

@ytterbiumanalystPlease check your PMs. I'll no longer engage in conversation not related to parks, visiting parks, or complying with park regulations in the thread. I've learned from my past mistakes regarding that.

The old ones were PIN based...if it didn't ruin your memory of your locker number and PIN before it won't now. Jeez. Give it two days; I'm sure someone here is going to the park on opening day and can report.

Those of us waiting for a full FDA approval would never lie.

You may have to expand that to $500 or so. Hertz is showing me rentals starting at $99 a day before fees from Detroit Airport on the days you're going. Sadly another tragedy of the COVID shutdowns were rental car companies selling off large portions of their fleet, and now that more people are traveling, demand is outstripping supply.

Except Flight of Fear, and probably Boo Blasters...cause indoors. @ZandGet a Fast Lane+ on Monday; I'd skip it on Sunday unless you're going to be there for a while. Miami River Brewhouse, as stated above, and Tom+Chee.

I didn't think you were. And yeah, MRB always tends to have a line...I always just bypass it and tell the host/hostess I'm going to sit at the bar LOL.

I missed it. What did they change?

Unfortunately Melt isn't on the meal plan at CP....but all of you casting dispersion on it, what is wrong with you? Not only is their standard grilled cheese awesome, their grilled cheese burger is quite good and their "fried mac & cheese on a grilled cheese" is incredible. The mac & cheese side is also pretty damned good, and they're a full service bar so you can get your drink on too. Tom + Chee thankfully is on the meal plan at KI (but sadly only the standard offerings). Their most awesome, the grilled cheese donut, is not. Miami River Brewhouse is also a great food option at KI, and has the bonus of being a full service bar as well. Them, and Tom + Chee, are why I always get the all-day dining plan at KI. Just don't bother trying the pizza, neither from the one near Beast, the one in the Festhaus, nor the one on international street - it is all disgusting. The breadsticks are pretty good though.

Absolutely second this notion! I go back and forth between this place and Melt at CP as having the better grilled cheese sandwich.

The text I quoted was directly from CW's website; stating that Canada's Wonderland Platinum Passes would be valid at all Cedar Fair parks through "Labour" Day 2022.

I've never been asked to sit with a stranger on an Enterprise.

"2020 Canada’s Wonderland Platinum Passes will be valid at all Cedar Fair parks through to Labour Day 2022." Wow, guess there's another benefit to buying through CW's site LOL.

You're thinking of another park. KI's site says masks are required indoors and outdoors "when social distancing isn't possible." Given the CDC's ever-changing guidance as to what counts as "social distancing," I'd say the people in the photos are good.

Depends what time you get there. If you're there right around opening, you'll be able to park close enough that it's not worth it. If you're coming at 3-4 in the afternoon, yeah you'd want it.

God damnnit don't scare me like that! It's still on the map, just not labelled (Woodstock Express is also not labelled), and it's still showing in the Rides page. I plan on swinging by the park on my way back from KI this Sunday, I'll let you know.

Welcome to American Dream NJ, where all logic goes straight out the window.

I paid $60 for my Six Flags pass last November, that gets me in every SF amusement and water park in the country, with parking, that was valid for the remainder of 2020 and all of 2021. What you're describing isn't that far fetched.

The system let me make a second reservation with a Platinum Pass, so I'd imagine you'd be good with a Gold one. Edit: Please note, that if you're unfamiliar with the ticketing software CF uses, you will need to make three separate transactions for this purchase - One for the pass, and then one each for the reservations. You need to complete the pass transaction first to get the pass number to input in the to reservation system.. Then, if you try to add two reservations to a single transaction, the system will tell you that you can't. It makes no sense but it is what it is. If you go the Daily Tickets route, no separate reservation is required.

Are you talking about the 4-Visit Wild Pass? Don't forget, you can split it up to be two rides wristbands and two waterpark bands, so if you're coming down for a weekend, you could use both rides- and water-parks both days and have nothing left.

For those desperate for details, I'll be going next weekend and will be sure to provide a comprehensive report.

Alright, back home from the weekend in Wildwood, and time to wrap up this TR. First things first, @Zand, I did ask at Guest Relations and it is true - daily wristbands for rides are not happening this year. Your options are a ticket card, which I have, or season pass. Second things first, my reason for being here...the annual Spring Car Show! Unfortunately, due to COVID, neither the Spring nor Fall car shows happened last year, and doubly unfortunately, this years turn out was abysmal. Despite allowing in any-age cars (typically the spring show is limited to 10 years old or older; the fall to 25 years old or older), there was maybe 50 cars. Typically, it spans the entire length of the boardwalk....from the steps down to Wildwood Crest all the way to the north end where the boardwalk goes to ground level in North Wildwood. That said, there weren't that many cars that appealed to me, except... This nice 2nd generation Chevy Corvair: And this, JDM-import, right-hand-drive, Fairlady Z (83-85). The US got these as well, but not with the 2.0L motor, no turbocharged engines on the 2+2 models, nor were US models available as hardtops. Very nice indeed. Anyway, on to what you all really care about: Morey's Piers. This was opening weekend for them, and the only pier open was Mariner's (the one with Sea Serpent and the Ferris Wheel). They opened right on time (noon), but seemed to be having some trouble getting Sea Serpent going, and weren't sending it with riders even by 12:45. So, I decided to go back to my hotel and take a nap, and headed back to the boardwalk around 8. This time, it was a go...and here's where the queue was backed up to upon my arrival: Eeesh...I've never waited this long for it in all my years coming here. 15 minutes later (they were still skipping rows), I was on. Oh well, it's got new trains with vest restraints, and magnetic breaks, so how is it? Even better than before! This boomerang has always been the best of them all that I've been on, and these trains just make it all that much better. Easily #2 coaster in the Wildwoods. I didn't go on anything else, but did wander around taking some more pictures. Musik Express' light package was looking a little worse for wear, but they were still running it at max speed. VID_20210508_203038486.mp4 Same kinda situation with the light package on the Ferris Wheel and Moby Dick. Nope, no headache for me tonight, thanks. Farewell, my ever-cherished smoking zone. Drunken days at PigDog this summer will not be the same. At least the bumper cars got some some new cool LED strips on the power poles: VID_20210508_203605191.mp4 So long for now, Morey's! (Yes the fluorescent tube around the M was out). In other saddening Wildwood news, from speaking with the bartender and other customers at Jersey Girl, it would appear that both Shamrock and Cattle n' Clover (the latter of which was probably my favorite bar in Wildwood proper), have gone awry of the Governor's COVID restrictions are are not being allowed to operate all summer. Wow. I hope that isn't true, and if so they can make some kind of appeal process. I don't know how a restaurant/bar could handle being closed for basically two consecutive summers. I didn't make it up to North Wildwood to check out the scenes at Keenan's, Angelesea Pub, or Flip Flopz, but did stop in Good Night Irene's for a few tasty adult beverages and they were as hopping as could be. On another note, anyone wanna buy a beat up old strip club (Hurricane Bikini Club, on Schellenger, also still closed)? Only $850k, including the liquor license, which is probably 85% of that price. EDIT: Totally forgot the ride counter: 1x Sea Serpent 1x Slices of Mack's Pizza 1x Cup of Kohr's Bros Orange Custard (with rainbow sprinkles!) 4x White Russians @ Jersey Girl 2x Cherry Vodka RedBulls @ Good Night Irene's. 1x Cheesesteak at White House Sub Shop in Atlantic City on the way home.
