Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
blakelemay23 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Hey guys i have a question and it may seem illogical for i am no professional. Is Gatekeeper running the same way it was the 2013 season? What i mean is, I know when coasters first open there are tweaks to adjust and things like that and Gatekeeper seemed to run kinda slow that season, is it now running any faster after 2 seasons? Or is there no difference? Sorry if this sounds dumb! -

Get there early.... REALLY early. If it is anything like it use to be, the best "rooms" go first. Not only if you get there early are you more likely to get a better "room." But then you have the rest of the day to get settled in, instead of spending half a day waiting in line just to process in. I process in on the 10th, so i plan on leaving Memphis on the 7th and driving 6 hours to Lexington, may ride Storm Chaser. Than i plan on driving the other six hours on the 8th, and spending the 9th at the park and getting settled in. -

1.) This section of the park is not only going to look incredible, but its going to be loud! I love it. 2.) I can't wait to see a POV of this thing. (or ride it for that matter) 3.) I am less than a month away from processing in for the first time! Any advice for first year rookies from current or former employees around here? -

I would like to ride TTD with a launch of 135mph, does that mean i "obviously" haven't ridden a strata coaster? -

Actually, it is not a brake. It is a chain. It is referred to as the "drop chain". Pay attention at 1:14 Sorry, i find myself getting my terms from RCT too often -

Check out the live cam. Crane appears to be doing work on the holding brake, and there are people walking all along the top of the lift. Not entirely sure but i think a train may be up there, if it is than it is probably just for the pull through. -

They are obviously building the station for the monorail... -

I thought they were just having trouble getting the launch up to the speed they wanted? if the problem was that bad I don't think they would have had a successful launch....that is just my pea brain talking though. -

Question: For a ride operations employee, is there enough time for RWC, or will it actually be more convenient? Source: Cedar Point's Snapchat -

Where did the idea that Cedar Point can't take care of a GCI, and now a Aquatrax come up? -

I believe the log flume in Raptors place was called "saw mill" or something. -

Cedar Point would definitely take good care of a GCI... And to add on to the original log flume conversation, here is the original Shoot The Rapids.. this is what the park needs. -

This is going to be hard to explain, but has anyone noticed a change in B&M's track design? Just slightly? For example: Compare Banshee to previous inverts, it has no pre-drop, and its elements/drops are more steep, and curvy. Look how sexy and steep Valravn's Immelman is. Another example: Compare the look of Mako to other previous B&M hyper coasters. B&M coasters look sexier and sexier every year. -

Screamscape reported "Titan" was trademarked by Six Flags. Since a dive coaster for SFMM is the only rumored coaster for Six Flags right now (not saying it will happen), what do you guys think of the name Titan for a dive coaster?(not saying thats what the name would be) I personally love it since i think this is one of Six Flags's better names and it fits a dive coaster really well. However, I was hoping for a more original name if this indeed turns out to be true.
