Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

If it rides as well as it looks, then it'll be the #1 coaster in the world. This thing looks f'in insane. Hopefully I'll be able to get to CoasterMania next year. -
I'm wondering if it's possible that the water coaster isn't coming until 2019? You would think that the land would've been surveyed last year, as the plans should be done by now, right? When we get a water coaster I hope it's more like Wildebeest than SFFT's version that looks devoid of any airtime.

Really hope they spend the money to fix Highland Fling- not very excited about the possible replacement. I love the freedom of an Enterprise, and I don't really see how a Endeavor is marketable when it's replacing what is almost the same ride? I'm assuming if Fling goes this season that the park will just leave the lot empty for the year, as I'm sure next years new ride will go elsewhere.

Guardians 2 was the most fun I've had at the cinema in a long time. It's nowhere near perfect or anything, but it's funny and colorful and has some amazing scenes. The whole thing is just amazing to look at as well. The plot is a bit strange but relatively easy to follow I had a smile on my face the majority of the time. I might go back and see it again because it looked amazing on the big screen.

I absolutely loved that production of The Sound of Music when it came through St. Louis last year, so hopefully you'll enjoy it as well! Does your line-up ever involve newer shows? Haven't most of those been on the road for a while?

Just got back from a trip to the park. Fright Fest is always my favorite part of the season. The crowds weren't too bad. Lines for rides were 20 min max, and we waited 15 min for chicken at Mooseburger. Scare zones were fun. Plenty of actors out tonight, all of which were very active and into their roles. The zombie area is weird though. Not sure why a guy in an athletic uniform with a little bit of makeup is supposed to be scary. Cannibals and clowns were great at chasing people around and one girl in my group was singled out by them multiple times. Quick question- what's up with the new clown location? Is there a reason they didn't return to the Batman location or their previous one near the soundstage? I like the feeling of it being tucked away, but almost all of the old theming elements seem to be gone. All that was set up were string lights and some sewer tunnels left over from Insanity Alley. I hope to go through the haunted houses next weekend.

Labor Day weekend is a TERRIBLE weekend to visit SFSTL. It always has been, and it will continue to be for a long time. After summer break is over, the park loses a significant bunch of its employees (who go back to school), and many of the employees that remain just don't show up to work on Labor Day weekend. The park just isn't able to fully staff its restaurants with such a small amount of employees, even if they try and use all of their available workers. Don't bother writing an e-mail to the park, there's an even better way to help get the lines down on holiday weekends!

If SFGAm is indeed getting a 4D Free Spin, I HIGHLY doubt we will receive one the same season. But Six Flags has done stranger things. I'd say at this point, it looks like the soonest we're getting a new coaster is 2018, whether it be a Free Spin (most likely) or a larger steel coaster (I doubt it). 2017? I'm guessing a flat ride of some type. I mean, there haven't really been any rumors at all, which leads me to the conclusion it is not going to be a very exciting addition. But why are we complaining? I mean, we just got a new steel coaster this season.

You're 15 so we understand. You're 14 so we understand. Yes, because assuming that the only reason people might be disappointed in a new roller coaster's layout is because they're teenagers is so mature. -

If that rendering is correct, then there is no way the surprise is a drop track, since the shed is one story, starting at the level of the track. The rendering may not be correct, though. -
This is why Americans are so easy to brain wash. You starve people to the point where they will be thrilled with any bone you throw them. I would hardly call a 4D Free Spin a "bone". It's a fun and crazy ride that would be a hit at our park. Our park is hardly being neglected. Other than RMCs, no other Six Flags parks are getting huge, unique coasters lately. Full Throttle in 2013 was the last one, I believe.

I visited the park today as well and have a few notes: -New Revolution: Rode it twice, hour wait first time and 30 minutes the second. Both times the VR worked perfectly, except for a glitch in the station that resulted in me asking for another VR headset which they gave me. It's an unpopular opinion, but I loved the VR. However, with the wait times it's causing, I hope it's a limited engagement. -Justice League: Like HWFan said, I saw an employee go up to Cyborg and put 3D glasses on him. Why are employees even allowed to touch him? My ride was one of the most glitchy I've had: no fire effect, no LexBot fog screen, no laughing gas at the end, and no Lex Luthor hologram. Still love the ride, especially the finale. -Fowl Ball: Walked through, didn't eat. Looks like cheap copy of JB's. I mean, I'm glad it's open, but I wish they would have brought back Calico's instead. -The Boss: Rougher than I recall. I still enjoy it, though.

What does this even mean? The track length is identical except one of the park's has a longer station (I forget which). Not sure how it could be less immersive either? I mean they're almost exactly the same. Anyways... SFSTL's reliability seems to have gone up as I believe it's been upgraded. Hopefully SFGAm's is able to pump people through because your park is always packed. I can't imagine what the lines are gonna look like.
