Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[VF15]

So, maybe I am looking to far into this, or maybe just being way to hopeful. But on Cedar Point's website homepage, there is a wooden coaster (Mean Streak?) But... The riders are upside down! Foreshadowing? Or just a mean April Fools Joke? We can only hope this is another Mean Streak RMC clue!

That has been the background for the April Fools Day sale on each Cedar Fair park's website, so I don't think it means anything.

A large corporate chain park would fire me in an instant if I were to find myself working in digital media. I would constantly throw subtle false hints out there just to stir up speculation and mess with enthusiasts. Or in the case of working for Cedar Fair, I would be fired because I would accidentally post a picture where guests are riding with their hands up.

 

Non-story here even if an RMC conversion is somewhere in the future.

But if you weren't fired, it would be a pretty hilarious job. Every sort of subtle non-hint imaginable! Think of the possibilities!

Isn't that what Tony does?

( Other than the hands up)

Gotta love being rick rolled early in the morning.

Something caught my attention on the webcam currently facing the construction/dorms area. I circled in red the area of notice.

 

 

Do I see a footer and several footer holes or...?

It also looks like there are little white markings spread out...Future footer locations???

[CanobieFan]

I'm sorry but everyone is so overthinking this haha. Just let it happen....

 

Either way I'm so excited for this Dive Coaster!

They do look like footers to me. But the white things are possibly markers, or maybe birds.

I didn't realize just how big the area is that Cedar Point opened up for the new expansion. Looking at the webcam right now, it looks like it could easily fit a good size coaster. Can't wait to see what happens!

Another note, I REALLY hope Cedar Point adds a pathway that connects the Blue Streak area with the Main Midway. That would make Blue Streak more accessible walking from the back of the park.

Looks like Cedar Point is rolling out free park-wide wifi this season.

Loved having wifi at Holiday World these past few seasons so now CP is getting with the times.

Yeah and this path wouldn't take much. Blue Streak could use a little easy access!

^^This is even better news for employees! My mom is going to be so happy. #PhoneBills

Looks like CP apparently won't be getting Wi-Fi this year. That stinks.

Why? Were you planning to work remotely from Cedar Point?

[VF15]

I'm just going to the park for a few days this summer, and the in-park Wi-Fi would've been nice, but I guess I'll have to do without it.

[grsupercity]

charging stations would be nice

[Password121]

Quite honestly, if you're a first timer at Cedar Point, in park wi-fi isn't the first thing you should be concerned about. The only time wi-fi would've been of any help to me was for Tony's tweet ups; but even then, it was only during a passing shower with all the rides closed. Cedar Point keeps people occupied better than almost any park.

 

That said, it could be a nice addition for the regulars or employees for sure.

So, maybe in 2016 then? Wi-Fi, better food and all these redone path;s would really turn this park around.

The park needs turning around?

 

Anyway I don't care about Wifi in the slightest. I don't mind using data to post a few pictures of us at the park and besides that why would I be on my phone at a park anyway? Everyone's different but for me this really doesn't matter at all.

[MagnumFreak25]

It's in no way a bad park right now but if they just finish fixing up the midways, adding shade, and redo their food it would be so much better.

[grsupercity]

Compared to some parks, there food isnt terrible

[MagnumFreak25]

It's edible but the non-brand name foods, especially in the back of the park, are not very good. When ever I've gotten food from their it's always cold, and pretty flavorless. It just seems that they've been trying to improve everything else, so why not the food too.

[cfc]

Food is pretty weak at Cedar Fair parks in general, and Cedar Point is no exception (but Knott's is).

KBF by far has the best food selections of any CF park.

[Koasterking48]

Quite a few of Cedar Point's (I guess you could call them) third party food vendors are very good. Famous Daves, TGI Friday's, Pink's, Toft's, and Johnny Rockets all provide great food. I do agree that the basic food from the regular stands are nothing exceptional.
