Finally cedar fair is doing TWO things right

It would be a good move to use that for a gift shop for Timbers souvenir's and possibly some new Train gear! but where would they put the coke freestyle that is in there right now, plus that's a pretty small space as it is right now. New station pictures where released by the park today! It looks beautiful!!!!!!! © KingsIslandPR on twitter.

Quick question. i have never been to this park and might be going this year. During the summer, what would be a good day to go ?.

Interesting................ Your guy's thoughts on the lead car design? © Carowinds on Twitter

I imagine that they have plans for that area. I've heard a couple ideas of a Giga tossed around and if one of the layout becomes true, that area right behind Express where SOB's rosebowl was would be occupied by a turn around.

Looks this new website is going around chainwide, other parks like Dominion and California's Great America have the new website to.

A picture legally taken by Cedar Point was shared at the end of the presentation (everyone almost lost their shit in enjoyment) and it looked to be from about the bottom of the first drop. If it will be the first drop there looks to be a bunny hill before entering the first turn/tophat.

Whats up guys! Saturday I was fortunate enough to attend Chill Out for the first time and i plan on attending this again and many more events (Coastermania, Coasterstock..... and so forth). So here's how my tour went (after my stupid Siri decided to route me to North Carolina's Cedar Point and took a ever so slight detour): 1. Maintenance Shop with glimpses of Maverick/Dragster car's disassembled and a slight Millennium Red train lead car waiting to join the others on the track. 2. Cedar Point Shore's: Great photo op's of Magnum, Breaker's new skytower, Point Plummet, New ticket window and overall, Cedar Point Shores! 3. Gemini Photo Op! a no picture clause was in effect after we left Gemini (you can probably guess why) until we reached Mine Ride 4. We learned about Professor Dilbert's Frontier Fling, as well as a Millennium/Dragon train photo op on the way to................................. 5.LUNCH! 6.Merchandise tour and then we where done and heading home So here are some interesting things I gathered from the Q/A's: -Scrambler tear down occurs ever five years, and other rides are based upon what the manufacturer recommends -A mixture of suits and standard rooms in the new Breaker's skytower -A new walkway will connect the new Breaker's skytwoer to the current parking lot. -Fast lane system for cedar point shores has not been determined yet. -Boardwalk will stay the same. -Discharge portion of Magnum's exit will be re route to accommodate the new Entrance to Cedar Point. -The markers in the dirt on the Gemini side of Magnum's lift will be for the new entrance and preferred parking. -The maximum height for the drop slides on Point Plummet are 42" supposedly -Parking lot and exterior for cedar point shores will be completed before may 6th when the main park opens, while work walls will go up around Cedar Point Shores until the park is complete -The old kids area will be reused for Lemmy's Lagoon -In the petting zoo a new camel will be wit the one at the park already, along with Emu's and a couple new Yak's. Also At the blacksmith shop.A hand led pony ride will be new this year. An up charge attraction. Maximum height for this has not been determined yet. -Animals from Kings Island, Cedar Point and some from Michigan's adventure go back down to the Honey Hill's Farm in Kentucky during the off season and some go to the Columbus location of Honey Hill's Farm. -Cost will be similar for Ripcord when it was at challenge park. Season pass discounts will probably be available. -When planning expansions for the park, full timer's usually look as far as 3,4,5 years. -There where many possible locations for ripcord. -Coastermania tickets will go on sale on March 9th. -The park did tease about RMC mean streak and a bunny hill is at the bottom of the supposedly first drop -An All new cup program where you can choose between a disposable cup OR a souvenir cup. -Iron dragon VR will be coming back for good. I believe if I remember correctly it'll will be June through august. VR ONLY AFTER 6 PM -For all electric car owners. The park has contacted TESLA and discussed charging stations coming -MELT will be coming to the point at Joe Cool's Cafe but WILL NOT AS OF RIGHT NOW BE ON THE DINING PLAN -All merchandise goes through Cedar point ware houses and then is delivered to the designated park except for Canada's Wonderland, Knott's Berry Farm and California's great America Anyways I'll shut up now and share some of my favorite of the pics that i took (i had to do a lot of editing from 245 pictures and 135 Videos) [youtu_be] [/youtu_be][youtu_be] [/youtu_be] I have arrived at the Sandusky Cedar Point (Not North Carolina one) In Spirit of the Daytona 500..........................wait that's not the right racing I was thinking of.

can anyone please tell me where this is located at? looks like Winterfest preperations have gone underway © ki_entertainment

April 13th can't come soon enough!

Can we just take a second to realize how beautiful this picture is! If there was ever a Mystic Timbers tour given during operation this would surely be a great spot for offride pics and footage hands down! © Kings Island on Twitter

8: Mantis, Rougarou, Valravn, Raptor, Gatekeeper, Banshee, Thunderbird and diamondback

13!: Beast, Son of Beast, Blue racer, Red Racer, Avalanche, Blue Streak, Mean Streak, Swamp Fox, Voyage, Legend, Raven, Thunder Run, and Woodstock Express. That number will go up if i hit Sf St. Louis AND Mystic Timbers. If SF doesnt work might be going to dollywood so that's another two.

I understand that but the trains could have been shipped and arrived at the park by now and whatever maintenance would have to do with them before being placed on the track could've been done by now also. I imagine here in the next couple of weeks we'll see trains

Well what do we have here. It looks like a lot of brand new construction pictures have been found over at Coaster101. CPFoodblog (basically one person) was given a construction tour of the ride and captured some great shots of the ride! Interestingly enough as track work and everything nears completion that trains are...........................................no where to be found Source: http://www.coaster101.com/2017/02/11/guest-blog-mystic-timbers-construction-update/ All photos are credited to CPFoodBlog.

Tweet says it all! the last bent for Mystic Timbers was placed today!
