^Not quite sure how to interpretate that.

 

Hopefully we see some new vertical construction soon!

[prozach626]

... I wonder how that crane is coming along.

 

"Quite nicely" I'm sure......

 

I don't understand why Cedar Point took so long to announce Valravn. Not only the fact that they tried it again, but that late into the year? Does anyone know if Cedar Point had an accident or something?

 

wt... f... are you talking about?

Yeah, some guy decided that he should go into a restricted area to get his cell phone, and Raptor got him.

That midway is going to be very very loud with both Raptor and now Valravn there!!

Not if Valravn is filled with sand.

Unless there's a slight breeze. Then you'll be able to hear a pin drop.

Can a breeze do that?

What about the GP screaming, declaring that the rides aren't safe?

Which wouldn't be surprising as gatekeeper sort of is.

[FaithPlus1]

That crane is freaking huge!!

[DoinItForTheFame]

I thought the same thing when I first saw it!! Can't wait for them to start using the crane to make the lift hill go up!

[DoinItForTheFame]

Sorry for the double post...

 

But, am I the only one hoping to see the lift hill go vertical this week??? I Know it is a long shot, but I am hoping this is the week!!

I am going to assume the track/supports will be sand-filled, like Gatekeeper, and will be quiet. Did we ever get confirmation of this anywhere?

[Superbatboy]

Most new B&M's are quiet, there's a few that make some noise like Fury or Banshee but it's no where near the sound of a Raptor or Mantis/Rougarou

I was originally going to wait until the actual trip, but I noticed Cedar Point has an admission and FL+ for any weekday this year for $70 on the website today only.

My question is, if I choose to wait, are there any better deals with a platinum pass (which I've already purchased) on FL+ for the summer? Looking at a late June Friday most likely. What is the normal price of FL+ for this time of year? Are there any other platinum pass holder discounts (as we wouldn't need the admission from the deal online, but $70 for a FL+ on a June Friday is definitely lower than the normal price. So--buy now or later?

 

Not worried about weather because it's a 2-3 day trip so we'd have options. Thanks!

[DoinItForTheFame]

Nice to see the crane finally getting erect. Can't wait for the lift hill to go up!!

Last year, Platinum Pass holders could get a FL+ for only $75. It will probably come back for next year too, so if you would want to save $5 per pass, I would it now, but because it is only $5 I'd wait till the offer comes back for the $75 FL+.

^Is that the base price, or every day? I know they do tiered pricing depending on the day of the week and time of year. I'd imagine a Friday in the end of June would be $10-$15 above the base price. If that's the case I'd rather purchase now--anyone know more? Really appreciate it.

If Cedar Point does what they did during Halloweekends; it'll be regular price any day of the week; but on Saturdays, it was $149 That blows for someone like me who flies in from another state and typically I have to go on a weekend obviously.
