Just saw this on T.V, has anyone else seen the new Maverick spots? The only thing that sticks out to me is that they call it the worlds only terror coaster... . Also it looks like the "Prospector" is going to be a major character. EDIT: Also theres a new blog http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm

One of my most memorable rides (i have many) was my first front row ride on Millennium. My friends and I were at Cedar Point during Halloweekends 2 years ago and we got into the park around 7 on a friday. There was hardly any wind that night, so the fog in Fright Zone was thick (which makes it 10x better i may add). We decided to wait for the front on Millennium and as we were going up the lift hill we could see all the fog blowing over the trees to the bottom of the lift hill. We get to the top and start going over (for anyone whos sat in the front you know how scary an image this is your first time) and to make it even better we couldn't see the bottom of the hill due to the fog. Next thing i knew i was on the overbank looking down at the fog again. The single most amazing ride on Millennium i've ever had.

Great TR, i love the picture of Hydro you have as your avatar.

^Phantom Manor is hard because it doesn't show all the options in that window. Go here instead and it should open up in a different window, then just extend the window down and you have the option to load/start/unload the elevators. Hope that helps.

TOT was the best one by far. Great find, lots of fun. Kevin "definitely worth a digg" M. EDIT^ I couldn't get the pre-show to work on Phantom Manor either, did anyone else get it to work using Firefox?

just so you are prepared, crowds will be monstrous. I'm in the same boat, so I say, going when it's crowded is still better than not going at all! MUCH agreed!

Thanks for the advice, but due to restrictions we can only go over Christmas. We are planning on leaving Christmas day, and coming back on January 3rd. We are staying on property at both Disney and Universal (I know Universal offers a special line for resort guests) and I know how to take advantage of Fast Passes at Disney. But i could still use any advice you could give me. Thanks a lot!

Great TR, amazing photos, even if it is making me even more excited for my trip. Cant wait to see the Magic Kingdom photos!

Ok heres my 2 cents. At Cedar Point this October i actually had to talk my friend to not taking pictures on power tower, and I would be the person that would be trying to take the pictures! But honestly think about it, even the smallest digital camera weighs a few ounces, and if that camera is traveling around 25 mph, if that hit anyone, especially in the head, it could seriously hurt them. And 25 mph is still pretty slow, if you dropped a camera off say Power Tower for example, it would be traveling way over 25 mph when it hits someone/the ground. And as WillMontu said in the U.S everyone files lawsuits over everything, remember the whole McDonalds lawsuit where someone sued because they burned themselves on coffee? I say if you want to take pictures on ride, always ask a ride-op, and if they say no don't do it, theres almost always a good reason.

I would love to see them, seeing as my trip to Orlando is only 8 MONTHS AWAY!!! At least im going.

Yes, and if you have them noise cancelling headphones are GREAT, and also bring a book, or two. Other then that don't worry about it, I prefer flying a lot more then driving, the uncomfortable conditions aren't really that bad and its a lot faster.

Georgia Cyclone at SFOG 2 weeks ago...yawn... This is no more, at least where i sat.

Definetly all disney parks, both Universal parks and possibley Sea World. Since i have never been to Universal or Sea World, i would want low crowds as opposed to special events.

Hey R&E, and anyone else who looks at this! My family is planning a trip to Orlando (YAY) and i just wanted to get some advice. One thing i need to know is when to go (hey it rhymes!). Also i want to know what to do, i haven't been since i was 6 and i'm sure it is VERY different. Any advice is much appreciated! EDIT: I thought about it and was thinking about going in June, anybody who has been in June can you tell me how hot/crowded it is?

I think a zero-g roll on a dive machine would be awesome, but again the lateral g's would be a little excessive. It could still happen if it was slowed down, but then it would be more of a jojo roll. As for 4 rows, i would bet its possible, the designer (at this point more then likely B&M) would just have to have the lead in to the drop streched out a little. P.S Welcome to TPR!

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their help, it did help a lot. I had an AWESOME day there with literally 1 train waits for Goliath all day. Photo TR to come soon.

^Ya Goliath should be a nice way for me to start out the coaster season. Were getting our season passes tomorrow and i am taking full advantage of ERT, which starts at 9:00 correct?

Right, same platform, they mean that its not going to be like Millennium or Dragster where you load/unload on different platforms. The person just wanted to know if you would have to rent a locker or not when you ride. At least that's what i got from that.

^^I could be wrong but i thought you entered on one side (left if on the train) and leave on the opposite side (right side if on the train). At least i think that's what is in the animation.

Strongest LIM launch: Flight of Fear, i haven't been on many. Agreed.

Awesome, thanks a lot everyone that helps a lot. One more question, if it is crowded and i do want to get a flash pass, whens the best time to get it. Should i hit everything up first and then get it for re-rides or get it first thing when i walk in the park. Again thanks a lot for the help!

I'm going to SFOG this sunday (Easter sunday) and i was wondering if anybody had any advice. I know that if its too crowded ill pay for the flash pass. Also i only have one day there and want to get on as many things as possible. Any advice will be helpful, thanks. EDIT: Forgot to say, if anyone wants to come i would love to meet up with some people.

It snowed all night here , so no testing now. Also new blog entry about the lights http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm Also...

Just a quick question for anyone who has been, I'm going this sunder (Easter sunday) and just wanted to know how bad the crouds are going to be. Any help?

^I'm not sure, its been over 70 the past two days, i wouldn't blame them for starting early. BTW the website is back up, not the web-cams though. Click Here if your that lazy.
