Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
chargersmichael replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I know that my trip is a few months away...but I just have a few questions. What is the best seat for Magnum? What is the best seat for Gemini? What are the best rides to ride at night? What should be my plan for Early Entry? -

I think Soak City could use some expansion from removing some of the older parts and slides of the park and redoing the area with ProSlide Drop Box things and with ProSlide Rocket slides! -
I love Diagon Alley and everything about it...but I do miss Jaws. I know it seemed to lose its popularity and it was a costly attraction, it was probably one of the most unique experiences out there. I really miss that ride. I wish there was a way to have both Diagon Alley and Jaws. If they did a Jaws return...I'm all for it!!!

You're going to have to wait. That ride has the longest lines in the park! I'm staying at Hotel Breakers for 2 nights and will be at the park for 3 days. I will be able to ride it multiple times haha. CAN'T WAIT! -

I am visiting Cedar Point this summer and I was a little worried from some of the reviews from Maverick with the head-banging...but now...I just can't wait to ride over and over again! -

^I can vision that happen haha. But I do think this will be very fast and the video will show it since it is very low to ground. I'm excited for it! -
I personally don't want to see Wet'N'Wild go either...but I think that is what Universal is planning on doing. I believe they will put more hotels across the street there as I don't see anymore room over there to add more hotels. I remember hearing that they eventually want 10,000 hotel rooms. I could be wrong though.

^This plot of land is in not next to the theme parks. It is in between Cabana Bay and I-4. I believe this will be very successful for Universal. I do believe that they will probably close down Wet N Wild and maybe bring some of their better slides to the new park. I'm personally very happy with this as I love water parks and Universal. This is just a great mix. My only real question is parking. Is there going to be a separate parking lot for this Volcano water park or will you still park in the Parking Garage at CityWalk. Maybe a shuttle service to the water park perhaps?

I'm making a trip to Cedar Point this summer. We are planning on staying at the Hotel Breakers. How many days do you recommend? What should my plan be? Any other tips? -

I also feel like GateKeeper has more riders because a lot of people want to ride it twice...riding on the other side of the wings. For instance, when I went last year...I would ride the front row on one of the wings and them the back row on the other wing. -

PART 2! Disney's Hollywood Studios Ride Reviews: 1) Tower of Terror! 10/10 This is BAE. This is probably my favorite Disney ride ever! Our ride cycle was so amazing and probably the best one I have ever been on! It was so incredibly fun! I wish I could ride this over and over again! It was so much fun! Ahh…best ride!!! 2) Rockin’ Roller Coaster 9/10 I absolutely love the Aerosmith music on the ride, the whole theme, the indoor elements, THE LAUNCH, the trains…it is just after the launch…the ride is a little bit boring. I was in the front row for this ride and loved the experience; it’s just that it is a little boring after the launch. I wish it did more. It is a lot of fun though! 3) Beauty and the Beast Show 8/10 This show has not changed a single bit since I last saw it. It is a good show but it gets a little old after having seeing it so many times. 4) Star Tours 10/10 Loved the update of this ride! We did it twice and got completely different rides! Love this variety! This was a lot of fun! Great update to this ride. Hope to see a galaxy far, far, away come to Hollywood Studios soon! Now I don't have as many pictures at this park as I didn't do as much...and then my battery died...but here ya go! Hello Hollywood Studios! Did you know California Adventure copied your entrance??? Something doesn't seem right about this picture...and I'm not talking about the lady in the pink shirt... Is something broken? I'll get back to you later as I have a Fastpass+ reservation at..... BAE!!! The Tower of Terror is probably my favorite ride at Disney World. It is just beautiful...but scary...but flattering...but frightening...and BAE! Getting Closer!!! AND WE ARE HERE! Waittime was 60 minutes but not with Fastpass+! We literally waited only 5 minutes to ride! YES!! Through the tree...err...dead tree...sort of Here we are! Service Elevator. These take you to the 5th Dimension and the Twilight Zone! This ride has gotten a lot better since I last rode it. It seemed that there were a lot more drops than usual. I think there were like 6 drops on my sequence! And it was amazing!!! Exiting the Tower! I wish I could have rode it again...but there were no Fastpass+ and the line jumped to 75 minutes. We still had 2 more rides to get to with the Fastpass! Such as... ROCKIN' ROLLER COASTER! I don't think anyone has taken this picture before...looks like I'm the first! Starring Aerosmith! YASSS!!! Through the fence! Right before the launch 5.....4.....3.....2.....1....LAUNCH! Green Light! Can't believe I got this shot with the flash from the picture! I absolutely love this shot! "Make it a superstretch." These Coaster Trains are amazing! We rode the Front Row of course. Fun Ride! We were jammin' to Dude Looks Like a Lady! Love the loops and theme of this. Such a unique experience. Just wish there was a little bit more. Onto Beauty and the Beast show! We arrived at 2:35. They opened the area at 2:30...and this is where we were sitting. The whole left side was dedicated to Fastpass+ which ended up completely filled! Belle! Kick! Kick! Kick! Be Our Guest was really well done. Ta-Da! And applause... Gaston going to "kill the beast." "...I love you..." This yellow dress was certainly different from the last time I saw it. But everything else was the EXACT same haha. Kiss! Back over here....what is wrong with the Hat? Backlot Express Restaurant. Will this area change soon? #starwars Speaking of #starwars...Star Tours! I haven't been on it since the last update...it wasn't quite our Fastpass time and the wait was only 15 minutes considering there were all of these people were here. So we planned on doing it twice. IT WAS AMAZING! The second time we had a completely different experience!!! Well done! Enjoyed this very much! A little blurry...but ya C3PO! He is now on the journey with you instead of the other one from last time. And that ends our trip! I will hopefully be at Disney again later on this year in April or May so I will make Trip Reports of Animal Kingdom and Epcot then! Overall, Hollywood Studios is a wonderful place. However, it seems to lack and things just don't connect. With all of the new rumors about this park...I'm very excited to see what the future holds for this park! It has a lot of potential considering of all of the great attractions that are already there! Until then...
