Leviathan at least has an excuse with the brake run going over Dragon Fyre. This one I'm not sure. -

So what's the tallest in the world? I'm having trouble figuring that one out. BTW that announcement video is fantastic! -
Canada's Wonderland Discussion Thread

We visited on Thursday May 30. The park was open from 10-6. We only stayed until 5 (so about 7 hours) and left to visit my cousin in Scarborough to watch game 1 of the NBA Finals with them. Wonder Mountain was down all day. Other than that and Taxi Jam, we were able to ride the other 15 coasters without Fast Lane. Did Yukon twice and Leviathan three times. After reading how busy this park can get, we probably got lucky. We didn't even follow any real strategy other than trying Wonder Mountain first and finding it closed. So we headed to Yukon and pretty much just proceeded to the next closest ride each time. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Just to give some more data points on this, we were there on Memorial Day last week. Checked in to Breakers around 10:30am and they gave us a room immediately! So that was awesome. Probably entered the park around 11:30 and as soon as I realized everything was running, went straight to a gift shop to buy FL+ with the Platinum discount. Anyway, SV seemed to be 90-120 every time we saw it. I guess we got lucky because (though I didn't time it), I feel like we never waited more than 10-15 minutes. For reference, the FL+ line was around the bottom of the stairs. Granted, we did walk by once and it reached that first turn as mentioned above. Also, they were running 3 trains and it double stacked every time. They seemed to not care about zipper pockets. Everything had to be out. At the same time, it's not like they actually checked your pockets. The next day, SV seemed to open around noon. -

Yukon Striker is great! The loose article bins are equally great. The related beer is decent. -

As a first time visitor to CW in a couple of weeks, and as someone who absolutely loved Spider-Man the one time I visited IOA in like 2004, this comparison seems a bit strange. Then again, I don't know a ton about Guardian. I suspect that I'll enjoy it just fine. -

Question for the locals: Anything happening on May 30/31 that would cause these days to be busy? I'm looking at https://queue-times.com/parks/58/calendar. I have no idea how they come up with their estimates. And I'm fully prepared to buy FL+. I'm just curious. -
Orlando Getting the World's Tallest Free Fall

I like how this park is shaping up. We'll be in Orlando for HHN in September and I have the Starflyer on the list. -

Thank you for the clarification! Like many on here, I make it a point to have zipper pockets somewhere, though I guess the pouches are probably fine. Three more weeks! -

I'm definitely excited for Yukon Striker, but that goes for the park overall since it will be our first time visiting. -

Damn that's a beautiful looking coaster. I'm glad they painted everything but the track white. -
Seabreeze Amusement Park

I had definitely heard of this park, but probably would not have gone out of my way for it. Luckily, we're planning on visiting friends in Rochester, so heck yeah I've added Seabreeze to the plans! -
It costs $149 per person for a one day one park ticket in June that doesn't even guarantee you entry into the land when one of the rides might not even open. Personally I'd rather wait until the rides are on Maxpass, the insanity has died down and they have the bugs worked out. I'm glad that the land is opening early so people have the option to go if they want to deal with that level of insanity but personally (unless you're a local with a pass) I don't see the appeal of going right after it opens when you could wait a little bit and have a much better experience. Bingo! In a way, I'm glad RotR is opening later. We'll sit this out.
