ImNotOneOfYou Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 You know what? The more I think about it, the more I'm unhappy with the name of Valravn... Should have gone with... Boaty McBoatface \BackToYourRegularlyScheduledProgram When I saw the title I thought we somehow made it into the New York Times.
WolfBobs Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 What about coastermania? It's getting to the point where it will be too late for me to put the time in at work. Just put the time in. Think about it--worst case scenario, they sell out of Coastermania tickets and you don't get one. #1 rule of traveling: Be flexible. See, that's the thing...... It's more about the actual event to me. Typically we hit the park 15-20 times a year, so it would just be another day in the park and not worth taking a vacation day as they are valuable. There are a couple of other events going on this summer that I would go to if I can't get coastermania tickets, but the trick is choosing a vacation days in time. I would prefer coastermania over some of the other events though. Does your employer not allow you to cancel a vacation day if your plans get canceled? Where I work I can submit the time off and if something comes up and my plans get cancelled I can just let my boss know I no longer need the day. Not a thing where you work?
thrillrider Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Because of cutbacks and such, the whole vacation issue at my work is a nightmare.
bluestreak Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 At one of my family members work if so much as 1 person is off in the 50+ person department then nobody else can have off unless it's for like a funeral. It's absolutely ridiculous. Don't they know that there is coasters to ride?
grsupercity Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I am a car salesman, and work 6 long days a week. Try fitting a coaster obsession into that. Spring to fall is best for theme parks, but that is the best time to sell cars when its busy. Sigh
Garet Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Or being a teacher in Asia, where the only 2 weeks you are allowed off for holidays a year is the same 2 weeks a year: Christmas/new year week and end of July/start of August when not only is that the week when most of Asia will be off for family vacations (due to said school closure) and tickets so very expensive, but most parks worldwide are packed then.

Meghna Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Question: For a ride operations employee, is there enough time for RWC, or will it actually be more convenient? Me personally I would not put forth the money for this, as there is no way to guarantee that would not be working during some of those events(you do get 1 day off a week). You already get ride nights and behind the scenes time being an employee, which is better than what RWC will offer you, and it's free to you.
CoasterDirected Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Or simply being a broke college student at the one of toughest engineering school. Purdue has been my main choice for the longest time. I know the mechanical engineering program is going to kick my ass but it's really what I want to do.

DoinItForTheFame Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I spy with my little eyes... A Valravn control panel!
Password121 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I'm probably going insane but can anyone confirm whether platinum passholders get a free upgrade to fast lane plus from regular fast lane at the park? I could've sworn I read that in the "100 reasons" page on the site but looking back I don't see it now. I don't know if I'm losing my marbles on this one but now I have to know, lol.
DaMarkSta Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 As of last year yes for Platinum passholders, the regular Fastlane price was the same price you would pay for Fastlane Plus. So assuming no changes for this year then yeah I'd expect the same.

Weird it's not on the website (or very difficult to find) because that's actaully a huge benefit considering how expensive FL+ gets mid-summer.

Rill'o'beily Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Tbh i would be 100% fine with the name if they just added the E into it so that it would be "Valraven" instead, but "Valravn" sounds like they're trying to be edgy or something
thrillrider Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 They have started pouring concrete! Holy bottleneck!
neil009 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 ^^"Valravn" looks like somebody fell asleep onto their keyboard, woke up, looked at what they typed, shrugged and hit the "enter" button.

I actually tried that technique and turned out with names such as: -Denash -Captyr -Qaoi -Klegni Which all sound like ride names cedar fair would use
Dar Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I get what you're saying but at least Valravn is an actual word this time
Coasterguy21 Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 I get what you're saying but at least Valravn is an actual word this time Which one wasn't an actual word? And yeah, Valravn is actually how its spelled in Danish folklore. So I don't understand the fuss! But oh well, still looking forward to the ride. They could name it "Cedar Point's Dive Coaster" for all I care! (Ok, well I do care, but I still don't mind the name Valravn) *fell asleep at my keyboard and woke up and saw I typed this perfectly and clicked submit*
