Glad you had a good time!

I'm kinda surprised it took this long for them to give it a retheme - still waiting on KD to retheme theirs to mesh with Jungle X-Pedition LOL. I like the concept too, and I love how the description on their webpage still talks about it being a movie-set-simulation-thing (lest people think they'll be shot at from a helicopter driving through Cincy).

Most waterparks don't have swim-up bars.

Queue Times is predicting moderate crowds: https://queue-times.com/en-US/parks/55/calendar Looking at past Aprils, there always seems to be one week where it's pretty busy, likely in conjunction with local spring breaks. Big Bear was fun but it is decidedly a family coaster. Queue Times says the average longest wait time was 60 minutes, and that takes into account weekends, so if you call an hour "long" then yeah it's a long line.

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 (edit: nearly done) 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.

Sorry, I misphrased that. Sunday crowds should be between a Saturday and typical weekday. I'll edit my original post to clarify.

In my experience, Sunday crowds will be less than Saturday but busier than a weekday. Check this calendar for last June: https://queue-times.com/en-US/parks/50/calendar/2024/06 You can also change the year at the top to look at historical trends (but don't count 2021 since some COVID restrictions were still in effect). They also have predictions for this coming June but I have no idea how they arrive at those predictions.

@Mustangman55This is the answer right here. The only advantage of booking an extra day is insurance against foul weather.

My guess it's for the people who like camping for the sake of camping? I mean, I don't get it, but I'm sure people like that exist.

You'll still have a lot of fun. First time at the park?

My request is even simpler: So, back when the ride had skidbrakes, it actually slowed the train to around the same speed that it does now with the magnetic trims, you just didn't notice it since it was a slow, gradual speed decrease, not the jarring, throws-you-forward experience that it is now. Just make the magnetic trims graduated through the old-MCBR-shed (it's certainly long enough) so that it feels like it used to.

Thanks for the report @cfc! I'm excited to get down there and try it soon.

Either way, they must be interlocking LOL.

Agreed, Bert. I think it especially bodes well for places like Kennywood, which have suffered quite a few mis-steps recently.

That is actually really cool.
