Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

All they really need to do now is paint that tunnel! It kind of sticks out.

[hemmy]

I haven't seen the tunnel in person but from the pics it looks nice if they can plant some grass and tress now that the ride is ready to open.

[FeelTheFORCE]

^^ I think it looks just fine the way it is. It's the same color as the supports.

[Eric_Smith]

It is not a clear shot but I really am happy that they brought this cam back.

The CP blog said the first 3,000 riders on Memorial Day weekend will get T-shirts, and the first 500 Joe Cool riders on Memorial Day will get a free pullover fleece. All right. The decision to get some rides on Raptor first has been trumped.

[Thom25]

Cedar Point never ceases to amaze me with their customer service skills. Given Maverick's delay in opening is only 2 weeks, they certainly did not have to provide such a lucrative give-away.

 

This is why CP is my favorite vacation destination.

[Wes]

They are probably just trying to give away all the shirts that have the incorrect inversion statistic on it.

[haux]

^Haha. Fine by me. I've got an MF shirt that says 92 mph.

[gatorchomp83]

That's SO weak.

 

Missed it by 5 days...No idea when I'll be back to CP, either.

 

Oh well.

I think they should of added rock formation around the tunnel so it looks like you shooting out of a side of a hill of rock. Then have that one part where it goes back over the tunnel be a small quick tunnel through the rock formation aswell.

[Eric_Smith]

Don't know if anyone noticed(or cares) but the animated Maverick is now at the top of the website with the rest of the rides at CP.com

[WickedCoaster]

Wait, so I know I may be dull, but so is Maverick opening this/next weekend then?!

[dandaman]

It opens in about 18 hours or so to the public, depending on when the Red Cross ceremonies finish, I think.

[Masked_Maverick]

^ Guess that means you have to change your avatar eh?

[dandaman]

Good point.

 

EDIT: Obviously the river of creativity has suddenly run dry for this...

[matteocrepaldi]

My friends officially missed this ride by only 10 days!! I can't wait for an official review of it!

 

I still can't believe CP had replace the pieces of track and got everything ready for opening in just two weeks.

 

Great job Cedar Point!!!

[dandaman]

Funny you should post... I saw at least a few stickers saying "Ride Tested by TheParks.it" on various ride supports last weekend.

New blog post

[Milkchan]

I'm wondering when are they going to have a POV for the ride.

[hemmy]

I would guess yes, because a few days ago they showed a camera mount on the train.

[crazydaveh]

I was there a week ago... I feel like I really missed out. Looks like I'll have to leave Florida again and head up north this summer!

 

The only bad thing about that... Flying into Cleveland... That place really SUCKS!

[DATman]

^Boo. Cleveland rocks, so long as you have family there.

[FeelTheFORCE]

I'm wondering when are they going to have a POV for the ride.

 

I would assume Sunday at the earliest. Unless they do some live video thing like BGE did with Griffon.

I noticed those too. What a bunch of idiots.

 

I'm psyched about riding! Tomorrow!

On one of Raptor's air gates.

In line for Dragster.

[pvcoasterguy]

^ Yeah, defacing park stuff with ugly stickers is definitely a good way to protray enthusiasts!
