yes i'm taking over the whole board - probably best if you have a day off... I think he is referring to the former slide complex that shall not be named at Darien Lake. Not you -
Okay, since I misjudged your trip before, sorry.. I can only speak for Cedar Point as that is my homepark. 1. As many others have said, everyone has different preferences at the Point since there are many different styles of coasters. So if you like intense, then Maverick. More floater and speed? MF. It really depends. 2. Lines at Cedar Point are deceiving. Sometimes, lines seem long but they move at a fast pace Ex: MF. Also keep in mind, NEVER do Raptor, Gatekeeper or WT in the morning, as these rides will later become walk-ons near 6 o-clock as people are normally exiting the park, or are at the back. 3. Since the park is so big this is how crowd level goes: Morning: Front of park is packed Afternoon: Back and Mid sections of the park are full Night: People head towards the big rides like MF, Mav, TTD. Crowds will start dying down after 6pm. 4. June is a great time to go, although I recommend that you head on a week day as *some* schools don't get out until mid June. (I get out in May) 5. Make sure to use your time wisely. If you are a credit whore you could do all 17 (or 18) credits, but it's hard to do in one day. If you have been there before, just soak in the park and enjoy walking among the steel giants. Hope this info helps.

Were getting a big storm here, so I wouldn't expect track to be done until Thursday-Friday -

If you are referring to the final view, I don't really think this is "stale" per say, I actually like it. To each his own though. -

It kind of looks like Intamin Wing coaster seating.. -

Thanks for the tips, I might just end up buying the Fast Track system, but I've heard it's complete garbage. -

I would say yes, I think the policy is one entrance per park, per day. So I don't see why you couldn't. Well, since we aren't experts I suggest you contact the parks, as they always have the answers. (Most of the time) -

This leads me to believe a new Water Ride for 2017 is entirely possible, perhaps with an indoor dark ride section? 2 birds in one stone. It could be impossible though.. -

Dang... I was one of the few fans of Shoot the Rapids. I loved the first drop. Oh well, the ride was plagued with mechanical issues, so it makes sense. -

Exactly, I don't think there will be another "slow point" per say. I actually think they might install some more break run track today (possibly) as they have it laying on the right-hand side of the Webcam. -
