CP Maverick

Anything considered more than maintenance or repairs needs a permit. New lighting packages need permits because of electrical. Rerouted ramps need permits because of the ADA. Etc.

I would say that this definitely opens up the possibility of them doing a Planet Hulk movie, as they gave the big guy a few lines in this one.

It doesn't really feel like a Thor movie. It's quite a bit more to the parallel of The Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy. Hela is a great character, and a good villain by MCU standards.

I can’t believe you didn’t mention Matt Damon! Also, Korg is played by the director, Taika Waititi, And is a definite presence. He also pokes fun at Fantastic 4 when introduced. Maybe I should start doing reviews. I haven’t been able to talk about the movie for almost 2 weeks.

Emergency Evacuation for Stranded Coaster Riders at Cedar Point!

I've been there in plenty of crap weather and I don't remember ever seeing MF go down to one train.

Hey josh, what’s with the one-train op on MF tonight? I’ve been in the station for 20 minutes.

Closing weekend is historically slower than the rest of Halloweekends. Combine that with the dropping temperatures this weekend, and they should be fine with resort capacity.

This is exciting. We kind of expected Sandcastle to come down with the Breakers expansion. That's prime property up there. I'd love to see something like "Lighthouse Point Lodge" go up there and take advantage of the lakefront.

That enhances my opinion that because the crowds did not show up on Columbus Day weekend the way they were expected, they were anticipating last weekend to be softer than it was. This is purely reactionary regardless of the actual attendance this weekend. Source: I've done the same thing at my job.

This is where I exit the discussion until something relevant appears.

Dragster was open most of the evening. Was down for a bit between 830 and 930 and went down again after 1130. The rest of the night operated fairly regularly.

So I’m imaginary? That explains a lot of things, actually.

But "The Tingler" might actually scare you to death! (For the record, I enjoy that sort of thing.)

So that's why Intamin met with CP over the summer!

The park is SEVERELY understaffed compared to previous years as well. There's no reason to voluntarily close sources of income if you have the proper number of employees to staff it. And it's not just CP. I can't find employees either, and I have a larger population to pull from.

Yeah it doesn’t look like that anymore.

Rumor has it, some people like that sort of thing. I've been fortunate to not experience the TP in the park. I can't imagine it's much different than most other public restrooms.

el oh el... A dozen mangled brake fins =/= catastrophic breakage of launch mechanism. First, the fins are for the launch sled and not the train. And 2nd, the sled stops in such a short distance that even cutting and welding new steel to the track would cost a teeny-tiny fraction of replacing the entire launch motor and launch track.

In as few words as possible, how do you explain the complete lack of scare-training they give these guys? "Hey!" "Where are you going?" Seriously, you have to come up with something better than that.

Close to that. I forgot that some area schools had off today instead of Columbus Day. Waited 45 for MF for the first time on a Halloweekends Friday.

Apparently tonight is extremely busy. I’m not used to Fridays being like this...

I’m with you guys. I love Halloween events and haunted houses for the macabre atmosphere. But the prospect of night rides on everything is much more tempting at an amusement park. I like a few actors to enhance the atmosphere, but they aren’t the focus of the event.

They have cut down on actors in mazes to cover the outdoor zones better. It’s not ideal, but the mazes never were the selling point of Halloweekends (IMO)

On Friday, the app said the mazes still had 30-45 min waits and there was literally 0 people in line for a few of them. Even the official listed times are incredibly unreliable.
