Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Except it isn't a log. And how does a log flume become outdated anyways? -
^ It was originally going to be Lit & Everclear. I was set to go because I like both bands. It was then changed after Lit canceled a bunch of shows this summer after their drummer, who was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year, became sicker. He ended up dying on Aug 13. I never did make the concert to see Everclear.

This is where I ate: And this is what I ate: BBQ bacon burger, garlic fries and a salad for the meal and a giant brick of onion rings for an appetizer (about half way eaten when this picture was taken). Everything was so good. Food done right, that's for sure! Not sure exactly what my father was eating. But I think he liked it...

^ What about the Pirates of the Caribbean ride? How they ruined it? -
Big Thunder Mountain - The Movie
metrock replied to ECZenith's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
God, if they do make this movie, I hope it isn't a hit. We don't need new characters introduced to the ride. Imagine if "The Haunted Mansion" movie was a hit. They would have added Eddie Murphy to every scene. -
^ LOL! That would be a very cool trip report indeed. And even though I wanted answers, I don't think I'd have the balls to conduct that research myself. I have a feeling that someone here is quickly going to take you up on that challenge. I mean, it's a TPR Bag-O-Crap! Or perhaps we should all e-mail Dan and see what he thinks about the free water issue?

^ Being able to go to a hotel is why I really loved visiting the DLR when I had my AP. I'd always head over to the Grand Californian to relax. Usually it was lunch at Whitewater, dinner at ESPN and a little drinking at the Hearthstone. Even at Knott's you can get away a little. Magic Mountain only has one sit-down restaurant (that's open), but it is usually my place to relax when I go to the park. Food and drinks don't cost any more than they do elsewhere in the park. Yeah, you have to leave a tip. But you also get free refills and air conditioning.

If this was ACE, the only thing left would be Small. -
Yeah, just seems like a general inconstancy in training when it comes to free water. Across the board it should be the same. In this case, I'm assuming that officially the policy is to give out free water to the guests. And, like said above, the employees are not always the most enthusiastic to give you free water. But like, what's it to them? It isn't any money coming out of their pockets; nor would it be money going in their pockets if you were paying for something. They get paid a standard rate to help guests regardless of the amount of money being spent. Heck, sometimes you might need to know how to get somewhere. EDIT - ^ Thank you.

^ Weird. Now, while I don't know the current and official policy on free ice water at Six Flags, I do know that it has never been an issue when I have asked. Though, a lot of times employees are misinformed and try and charge you. For example, while it isn't a Six flags park, I know that when I was at Carowinds on a hot summer day they had park wide announcements over the speaker system about being able to get free water at any of the vending locations. And when you went to the locations they had water ready to go. Magic Mountain is no different when it comes to the heat. I'm sure that they would rather give out free water than have an incident where someone is passing out from heat stroke or exhaustion. Does anyone here know the official policy for Six Flags in regard to free ice water at the vending locations?

Too bad none will ever be built on the West Coast. I keed, I keed Now that I say that, SFMM will build one. But yeah, aside from the restraints, looks like it will be a fun ride. Though, I do find it weird that a NASCAR themed coaster is making so many RIGHT turns.
