I wouldn't want a parking garage... it ruins the views. Not only that, but I find parks are unbearably busy when the parking lot is full. Allowing more people into the park would, yeah, increase the amount of moolah you're making, but you're sacrificing guest satisfaction in my opinion, by making it even more packed. Am I looking at this from the right angle?

Yes unfotunately. However they're allowing anyone who came today to come back another day for free. Nice of them to do that!

Woah woah woah... lets not forget about Millennium Force which took #2!! I'd say that's more impressive than Steel Vengeance's #3 because it's been around for almost 2 decades. It's like the "Old Ironsides" of the Coaster World.

^^Yas!!! If those are actually wheel heaters then Leviathon might be at Winterfest!!

Wow!! I love the detail of the trip report, along with the great pictures!! So funny that you've been able to meet up randomly with people you haven't seen in years Thanks for bringing events like these to attention... never would have known that this existed, and great to see new cool events.

Comments Disney Day One has just been posted I'm experimenting with how to set up a TR, so if you don't like something, say something! 2018 Disney World => RIGHT BELOW!!

Apologies... fixed now! Won't do that again.

As Rob said in another thread, its pretty hard to call it a trend, because only 4 B&M dives have been added from 2004-2019 in North America. They're not even bad additions... they're solid rides that draw people to the park. You could maybe argue that when Cedar Fair bought the property, but recently the park has been invested into a lot. In addition the charm seems to be there still, as many others consider this their favorite Cedar Fair park due to its higher level of theming, and charm/environment.

Funny you should bring up the 5th century, because that's when the Roman Empire collapsed. This could reference the "collapse" of SOB. The collapse of the Roman Empire made way for new things to come. It all fits!

Why not just build a GIANT shed over the entire ride to mimic night, then have those 6 barrel rolls outside the shed to screw with enthusiasts?

Managed to catch Rougarou at 30 minutes today on the app... so proud of myself (and Rougarou )

They're rerouting the Mississippi River through the park. Is it really that far out of the question?

Yeah, the problems aren't going to go away overnight. This may not even be much, but hopefully it marks some sort of turn around for the company.

^Great news! Hopefully we'll see some sort of vertical construction soon (if there hasn't been any yet). We don't know the color of the track yet... right? Damn! That is impressive. I was questioning why you only rode fury a couple times until I saw the last part of your post. Well played. First time at the park? I'm going to ditto this... that's crazy you were able to hit up that many rides in such a short amount of time. Must have been walking speedily!

Great report! Looks like you had a fantastic time!! Completely agree with you on your thoughts on all of the rides. Especially how pretty Valravn is. I don't care what the ride is like, I could sit under it for hours. However, I am disappointed you skipped Wicked Twister... Probably one of my all time favorites for some odd reason. ^Yeah, I took note of that too, doesn't seem to be very good to say the least. Fortunately there has been rumor of alternatives in the works on Twisted Timbers recently.

I went mid June last year, and was greeted with a ridiculous amount of those muffleheads. Went this year at the same time, and didn't see very many of them. Perhaps their "Season" shifted later by a month or two? Ohio has bad spiders?! Tennessee is just two states below and has far larger spiders! Plus they're a little less venomous up here.

Based on my experience this year, people with "bring a friend" tickets can take advantage of early entry if the passholder is with them.

^^You should honestly be more concerned with the water park wait times. You shouldn't have a problem.

Wow!! That looks incredible! I've never heard of this before, so thanks for sharing, will have to look into this more... Also that picture of you guys with the glasses was top notch... loved it

Looks like you guys had a fun day, and the video you made had some really nice camera angles! Really shows how massive the ride was. Can't wait to get out there and try it myself!

^ As with everything with Cedar Point (and amusement parks) it can vary drastically. In reality they probably shouldn't be *too* bad (15-30 minutes on major ones... maybe?), but it depends on the ride, the type of day, etc. Given what others have seen, it will most likely be running 3 trains by late August.

Speaking of the stock price falling, Six Flags' stock also dropped quite a bit around the same time that the Cedar Fair's Price dropped... 4:00 to be exact.
