I do not see any value in the regular Fast Lane the way they have it laid out.

 

This is true of every single Cedar Fair park that offers both options. It's by design.

[Ape]

I get that. I am curious as to how many of the regular Fast Lane they sell.

[coasterbill]

I am too, I don't really understand why anyone would ever buy one.

[Philrad71]

I'm almost surprised that they don't offer something like the Quick Queue where you can get one ride on all of the big name rides, or buy the unlimited QQ+.

[AmyUD06]

Forget that system. If I'm paying $100+ for a skip-the-line pass, I want to be able to use it on what I want, not one-ride-per.

[boldikus]

Yeah but the Quick Queue is considerably cheaper than QQ Unlimited. For people/families on a budget, it would make sense to get the cheaper one-use Quick Queue to still manage to get on all/most of the popular rides.

[bluestreak]

Q-bots for the win.

The Fastlane information has been released. Steel Vengeance is obviously a Fastlane Plus ride. Gatekeeper will remain on Fastlane Plus only (which I find a little surprising) along with Steel Vengeance, Valravn, Dragster and Maverick.

Now, jack those prices up so less people will buy FL plus!! I would be totally fine with paying $200/day for FL+ with our once every 5+ year visits to have near KI style FL+ waits.

I guess it could have been worse...

I was going to make a lame joke about calling the ride steelhawk instead... but it turns out cedar fair has that one too...

 

 

Surprised they haven't used Steel Eagle yet to be honest with you

 

Anyway, now that FastLane+ is confirmed to be available for Steel Vengeance, I am very much looking forward to not waiting 4+ hours for this thing. I like that they are finally advertising the Platinum pass discount officially this year as well (buy FL in-park get upgrade to FL+ free)... that should pay for the Platinum passes pretty quickly for us as I'm sure we'll be getting it a few times this season... I mean... look at that thing...

I know what that bird is thinking.... "is the train wheels going to hit those bolts?"

[BigBad]

Aren't the bolts there to keep the wheels from sliding off the track?

[CP Maverick]

Does it matter? People are going to go flying out around that second turn anyway. It's totally banked the wrong way.

[CoasterInk]

The bolts have nothing to do with keeping the train on the track... its there to keep a thin piece of metal from coming off on the top of the track

[ytterbiumanalyst]

The bolts are there to make it nice and rough so that people think it's a wooden coaster. People love that good old fashioned jostling. Speaking of which, anyone know when they're going to be installing the pothole? Really looking forward to that.

[joelwee]

Why is there wood on the support structure? So much for it being STEEL Vengeance!

This off topic: What do you think CP will replace the Torn down Oceana statium with? If anything at all?

Not making a prediction here, but I would love to see a Planet Snoopy expansion with a new family coaster added, maybe a B&M family invert.

That's definitely going to be an Aquatrax that dives into Lake Erie.

A custom boardwalk GCI woodie.

How bout - instead of a boring little GCI - a massive prefab to block the wind? Probably not very feasible but I've been on the CP prefab train for a while now and it would be way too cool to see that. If not, a guess a GCI or preferably a gravity group could go there. What about a smaller Prefab like Balder? As long as it's a wooden coaster I'm happy. But then again, I'd be happy even if they got a family coaster.... just thinking out loud. Don't mind me.
