Glad I got to ride it last week.

New track arriving for "Dragster 2.0" yesterday. It's in the normal storage area near Breakers Express.

According to ride times - El Toro is open! Can anyone confirm this? If so, how's it running???

^ Call me amazed! I can't believe the park and state moved this fast... Let's hope it's improved. It used to be my #1 wood.

Magic Mountain just posted this on Twitter a few minutes ago. Any ideas???

^ Thanks Bill. So sorry to hear this. I looked on their website and this is what is posted. At least Medusa will open Memorial Day. Medusa Opening Memorial Day Weekend BATMAN™ The Ride Temporarily Closed El Toro Opening Summer 2023

This thread has been so quiet. Any news on EL Toro? Will they be opening the entire area back there soon??? Someone's got to have some info?

Now you've changed "your tune" on this. You "beat me up" when I complained about the early entry before. Not as good as before, but better. It's now worth it to come early.

^ Thanks for your "2 cents." Just wanted to let people know about this major change to the pass benefits, so they're not surprised / disappointed when they arrive.

^ Compared to the way it's been for years, this is nothing. We used to have several coasters to choose from. For me Wild Mouse is a one and done for the credit that's all. Cedar Point just continues to disappoint... CP Not the place to be!

Early entry is worthless this year at Cedar Point. These are the only rides open 1 hour early, so not a benefit anymore. Only major coaster open is Gatekeeper, so the lines will be bad. Thanks Cedar Point!!! 2023 Early Entry Rides The following attractions are scheduled to be open for Early Entry*: GateKeeper Wild Mouse Atomic Scrambler Matterhorn Calypso Dodgem Kiddy Kingdom (select rides)

^^ They better not be closing / replacing the other Skyline! I need my 4 way when I come to town..

Today their webcam is showing them pressure washing the track for Diamondback. They're going to need to hurry to paint it before opening day.

Let's get off this CFA discussion please. All 3 of their webcams are off line now, and showing views from last night. Not sure if this means anything or they're just doing maintenance. The camera looking at Dragster recently has shown trucks near the down side of the top hat. Could be just a coincidence...

^ Intamin -- go figure.

Cedar Point has just announced the day for Coastermania. It's Friday June 2. This is the earliest post for this event ever. No other info other than the day. https://www.cedarpoint.com/events/coastermania

^ They are the only Southern California park not open daily.

^ No more "off peak times" in 2023. That's thanks to their new "premium experience" for guests. In January they're open Saturday & Sundays only. Thank you Bassoul the fool!

^^ They did go up an insignificant amount a few months ago. I too am worried...

I've been here all week. Their major rides: Scream, Full Throttle, Riddler, Goliath are not closed due to staffing. They are in various stages of disrepair. It's sooo sad. All the rides open late. Tuesday Wonder Woman opened at 3:45, Batman opened at 4:30. I've been told because of maintenance issues. Many of the restaurants are not open or available on the meal plan anymore. "Bassoul the fool" (CEO) is taking his toll at this park and it's too bad. Their hours for 2023 are a real joke now. The days of 365 are long gone. Look at the new schedule just posted online.

The webcam is pointed at the city of Sandusky now. No more fire action...

I could be wrong, but there appears to be something different in the water to the immediate left of the return track for Dragster. It's at the bottom of the screen. Looks like some type of materials on a barge?

^ Are you certain? The station doesn't look that big in the video. I hope you're right.

^ This new bag policy is for all day, not just during the fright fest hours.

New bag policy at Magic Mountain. It seems a little extreme to me. I don't carry anything in, so I'm not effected. Just a heads up to save you a walk back to the car.
