Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
tarheel1231 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
If the 2015 attraction turns out to be a were-wolf themed dark ride named 'Rougarou', do you think we can expect this to be better than Guardian? I mean, we are talking about Cedar Point. -

I thought that one of the users just pointed out that the footers didn't look like Leviathan's footers. -

^Nice Update! My guess was way-off though. -
Trip Report! This doesn't have any photos, so thank you in advance to those who actually read it. I went to the park on the 21st of July. We came to the park at around 9:50 am. We rode the tram to the front gate. This first thing I noticed was how massive Apollo's Chariot was it. When we got into the park, I was hoping to ride AC first, but that section of the park was closed until 10:30 am. So, I headed to the Scotland section first to ride Loch Ness Monster. I stood in line for about 20 minutes before it was my turn to ride. The ride was quick. After I got off, I headed toward the Jack Hanna's Wildlife reserve to see some of the animals. After passing through that section, we were in France. We decided to ride Griffon since it was a walk on. We rode it twice. After that, we headed to the Oktoberfest section of the park to ride Curse of Darkastle. This was also a walk on. After riding it, we took a break. I went into the shop nearby to get a souvenir. I got the 'Fury 5x' magnet listing the names of the park's largest coasters. I left the shop and headed over to ride Verbolten. The ride wasn't a complete walk-on, but I only had to wait about 10 minutes to ride. After that ride, I got some lunch from 'Pretzels and Beer'. I got some cinnamon pretzel bites and an Icee. Once I finished eating, I headed over ti the Festa Italia section of the park to ride Apollo's Chariot. The line was only about 20 minutes. After getting off AC, I took the train from Festa Italia to New France. I got off and headed to the Jack Hanna's Wildlife Reserve to catch 'The Secret Life of Predators' show. It was done in about 15 minutes. I enjoyed it. I headed back over to the Germany section to ride Alpengeist. It probably had the longest wait at the park, but it was only about 20 minutes. Once I was done with Alpengeist, I headed back over to Verbolten, my last ride of the day. Once I was done, we left the park. Reviews Loch Ness Monster: This ride was okay, but not too thrilling. It was smoother than most Arrows I've been on. Griffon: I loved this ride. The first drop was amazing! I felt weightless. Curse of Darkastle: I was impressed by the effects. Watching a video of it and actually riding it are two different things. Verbolten: This was my 40th coaster and my first launch coaster. I loved the indoor portion. I've seen the POV many times, and I was pleasantly surprised by the drop-track. I didn't know about that feature. This was probably my favorite ride at the park. Apollo's Chariot: It's a decent B&M, but I didn't find it as forceful as it's cousins to the south (Intimidator and Goliath). Alpengeist: This coaster was fast and forceful. I loved every second of it. But I'm glad it was one of the last rides I rode. It was very dizzying and I probably would've stopped riding things at the park. Lol. So overall, Busch Gardens is a very good park. Griffon and Verbolten are must-dos IMO.

Not bad, but I think we can expect the coaster to be similar to rcoaster10's prediction. -

Game: Careful What You Wish For

^Granted, but to pass the time, the park allows people to smoke in line without consequen- never mind, I forgot that they're not so big on that anymore...... How about...... Granted! You don't have to worry about Six Flags Queue line TVs because Six Flags shuts down all of their parks forever I wish the weather didn't predict T-storms on my visit to BGW next week. -

Monday through Wednesday are good days to visit the park. I think Carowinds still sells multiple-day tickets. Just look out for weather. If you get there by 6 and there is a 3 hour delay, you won't have enough time to ride each coaster (the park closes at 10PM). -
