coasternut Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 ^ Thanks for the heads up on this. Finally a coaster event scheduled. Let's hope it's able to go... Now Kings Island get with the program for Coasterstock normally in May before Coastermania.
Canobie Coaster Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 One of the good things (for attendees of Holiwood Nights) is that CoasterMania is the same weekend so that may help keep crowds down at Holiday World. Last year, Holiday World set a record for the most people at the event and it caused Voyage to have 45 minute lines during ERT between the crowds and distancing.
southpuddle Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 45 minutes for ERT? We just call that RT. 1
Canobie Coaster Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 If you ride things other than Voyage, it's a walk-on. But everyone knows how special night rides on Voyage are, especially with the trims off. How long does the line for Steel Vengeance typically get during CoasterMania?

tndank Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Coaster Campout the day before the 150th celebration starts makes it somewhat appealing. Probably wont do it, but I'm curious to see the plan.
KIEnthusiast Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 What is going on at the winter chill-out?? Any big news?????
TBpony414 Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Early entry returning as mentioned above is great news. I really missed not getting to the park last year!

They had some teasers posted apparently. IMO its a diversion because its way too specific. https://www.wkyc.com/amp/article/entertainment/places/cedar-point/cedar-point-teases-new-roller-coaster-2022-season/95-47a06181-7a0a-476e-a6f4-17ee8ec816b5
WolfBobs Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 CP loves to troll enthusiasts. I love that the local news picked it up. 1
JJLehto Posted February 24, 2021 Posted February 24, 2021 Oh yeah they would never have it so blatant "T rex" "526 feet" written hastily on a whiteboard....yeah no lol 5 hours ago, WolfBobs said: CP loves to troll enthusiasts. I love that the local news picked it up. Do they? Honestly that's hilarious. It also makes sense....yesterday I started seeing "Cedar Point 500 foot coaster??" "Speculation. Cedar Points wild new ride????" 1
anonymouscactus Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I'm curious what having Fast Lane was like last year (I'm aware they didn't sell it, but they did allow prepurchased people and those with all-season). Anyone have experience with it? What were waits like compared to a standard year? I'd imagine there were a ton less people in the park with it, but maybe they changed the ratios of FL to regular guests?I took the plunge and bought the platinum one (from a different park) tonight, and plan on visiting my fair share this year as my wife and I are fully vaccinated, unlike the zero parks we went to last year.Curious if they will sell daily this year or not.

That's fair, Voyage night ride trims off was perhaps the greatest coaster experience I've had. It was also mostly walk ons for Voyage but it was 2018 when I went to Holiwood Nights but sounds like the event has grown in recent years. IDK about last year (did the event happen?) but 2019 CoasterMania the ERT for Steel Vengeance wasn't bad at all. It was a bit slow at first but once things got going it was pretty short lines throughout. I recall being able to get several rides in like 5 or 6? No idea what it may be like this year.... Speaking of, Coastermania 2021 IS on the site....I will assume the event is happening?

Curious if they will sell daily this year or not. I had it on my last trips of the year, in October. It was awesome. Maybe 5 people in front of me at SV, maybe 10 at Maverick simply due to each train only loading 6 at the most.
tndank Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 I had multiple days where I never saw anyone else in the fast lane line with me the whole day. It was special last year.
qpb2004 Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Anyone speculate when Coastermania tickets will go on sale? I'm assuming the event will be a bit different from the past given the circumstances.

Still hope that everything works out, both for organizers and attendees. Bert and Snoopy, with myself holding them up. After a Sunday afternoon of BBQ, friends and drinks at Famous Dave's. CoasterMANIA! 2017 Weekend. 1

I'm assuming the event will be a bit different from the past given the circumstances. I forget when tickets usually go on sale. Keeping my eyes peeled. I know in the past Tony Clark would announce it on Twitter, but I think I usually saw it posted on the CP FB page. I do wonder what it'll be like this year. I was surprised the event is even happening but...it's there soo
Nrthwnd Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I know it can be just plain boring to do, but I remember that I kept checking every couple of days, on their site, to find out when tix became available. I'm retired, so that helped I know, with my getting tickets. Still, I suspect they'll release packages by the end of March, if not a little bit before hand. Maybe. Good luck to ya, getting them. 2

Same. I don't have Twitter, (and glad!), so that was never an option to me. FB doesnt always pop up everything you follow so yeah I did the old school check site each day. Ya can't beat it! Should be no problems! The year S.V. opened it got sold out immediately, other years they tended to be available for a while.
clem2754 Posted March 12, 2021 Posted March 12, 2021 I'm guessing Coastermania tickets will be sold later this year when compared to other years. The more information the park has, the more they can play the event. They should sell out rather quickly so it is no harm waiting a little bit.
WolfBobs Posted March 13, 2021 Posted March 13, 2021 Maybe I missed it. But I'm surprised no one on here mentioned some of the new merch available in the online shop. Mainly this... https://cedarpointonlineshop.com/products/sky-ride-wooden-cutout 1
Garet Posted March 14, 2021 Posted March 14, 2021 ^Maybe they've seen Coasterbill's posts on Cedar Fair lately (for good reasons) and are trying to make it up to him?
Lightning Rod Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I was wondering if anyone knows if Cedar Point is selling in park fast lane passes this year?
