I suggest the Old Bag of Nails instead of Brazenhead. Brazenhead isn't bad and has a really nice building, but it could be run better. It has lost a lot of local support in recent years. Bag of Nails has great food, plenty of beer and is closer to the park. It is just down Kings Mills Road in the Kroger shopping center, maybe a mile and a half from the park. The Brazenhead is only 5 minutes from the park and has 30 beers on tap! I've been meaning to check this place out, but somehow haven't got around to it yet. Head to Diamondback for ERT; you'll be able to get in about 5 rides before the park opens, and Banshee will only have a 10-15 minute wait after about 2 pm. When the park opens, head to FoF THEN Firehawk. Next head to Backlot, as that line will start getting long around 11 am. Beast's line will be pretty short until around mid-afternoon. Be sure to get a night ride on it! thanks all for the heads up on both rides and beers. I read that it is open until 8pm wednesday. I may try to leave sooner as it looks like a 6-7 hour drive. We will take advantage of the morning ERT, ride until it gets too hot/ crowded and then head to cedar point. I am guessing midsummer midweek will be moderately busy, but the ERT may help us get 'er done. I am a big fan of B&M inverts, and would rank the ones i have ridden: Batman, Montu, Talon, Great bear, so i want to ride banshee. Having Canada's Wonderland as our home park, i see a lot of similarities. It might be fun to do a report card comparing the 2 parks. Our Back lot stunt coaster runs none of it's themeing or effects, so it might be neat to se yours working. Diamondback is a similar coaster to our Behemoth with a splashdown effect. I heard the Beast may be a bit rough but is a cool night ride. We have some rough wood at home too so i can compare. you have the bat which i believe is a sister of our vortex. Vortex looks a bit bigger than dragons fyre, but old school arrow bent coathanger designed. I had been to 6flags america near DC and they had a launched premier which looks like FoF. I actually really liked it so it might be interesting indoors, and they also have a flying dutchman which looks similar to firehawk. I also love huss enterprise and the monster, so i will try to hit those too. Then we drink a bier!
