alilstronger Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 From my understanding, arent QBots more expensive than FastLane? Depends on which one you get. There are 3 levels - regular, gold and platinum. I always try to go for platinum if I have the money. This way even a Saturday will be a great day at the park and not a rush. Regular - "Spend less time waiting in line! Your reservation will be equal to the current wait time." Gold - "50% FASTER! Your reservation reduces wait time by 50%". Platinum - "90% FASTER! Your reservation reduces wait time by 90%. and RIDE TWICE IN A ROW without leaving your seat".

tarheel1231 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 The Gemini midway isn't the only improvement coming to Cedar Point in 2014! NEW IN 2014! HOOTERS Cedar Point is a great day-time park, but Hooters will be a great attraction at night. Grab a couple of man friends and get up-close and personal with nearly exposed breasts! You'll be so distracted with the boobs that you won't even notice that your f***ing wings are dry and your fries taste like a rear end! Located near Mean Streak.

JonnyRCT3 Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Pipe Scream's train has been loaded onto it's track. Also. Zamperla classifies this as a roller coaster. So CP's classification is reasonable. I do not count this as a credit though. www.zamperla.com/en/zamperla-details-rollercoaster-disko_coaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfelice Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Not to muddy this "coaster or not" debate too much, but I recall Cedar Point trying to say how Six Flags Magic Mountain's Superman: The Escape was not a coaster in order to discredit SFMM's coaster count. It just makes me chuckle when Pipe Scream is much more debatable as a true roller coaster than Superman ever was, but Cedar Point was so quick to announce Pipe Scream as a roller coaster addition.

Password121 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 ^I wouldn't say that. SFMM is adding coasters for the sake of adding coasters to reach 20 and attract people to the park. Cedar Point adds coasters (family flats?) in order to improve the park and guest experience, and although advertising it as a coaster is good for marketing, that, IMO, is not why they are adding it. SFMM has NO reason to add a fourth family coaster after adding so many recent coasters. We all know that, it's just a cheap way to help reach 20. Cedar Point adds coasters when they think it will benefit the park and guest experience, and while they have almost as many coasters as SFMM, they aren't really competing. Cedar point has already won the "coaster competition," but with quality, not quantity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerstlaueringvar Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 How about Raptor and MF? I think CP can sell the regular FL cheaper and use a $30 up charge for Maverick, TTD, MF and Raptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christianscoasters Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 ^Raptor is a very high capacity coaster. It's usually slammed in the mornings but fairly often it's a walk-on in the afternoon/evenings. No need for it to be on fastlane plus. Out of MF, TTD, and Maverick, MF has the highest capacity and I totally agree with having Maverick and TTD on the plus. I can imagine MF may make its way to FastLane Plus some day, but for now, I think two rides will suffice. We shall see though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 ^ considering MF is insanely popular, adding it to FLP is another way to promote FLP which means a lot more money. That's what I think but I don't know too much about marketing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Agreed. Ish. It's really annoying seeing everyone say OMGGG ITZ A POLARR COASTERRR because they said the word "DNA". He said "coasters are in our DNA." He could have said "Coasters are what we specialize in" or "We're pretty good with adding coasters" and no one would have thought anything of it even though they mean the SAME THING. When he said it's in our DNA, he meant that CP will always be adding coasters. Everyone was looking into this WAY too much to think that because a Polar Coaster (which one hasn't even been built yet!) looks like DNA, it's coming to CP. Everyone needs to sit back and relax and let whatever happens, happens. Amen! Amen! Amen! When I first read the "DNA" statement, all I took it was that Cedar Point is still committed to being a roller coaster capital, and that it's obvious that new coasters are a part of their future. Yes, they might be taking a short break from major coasters right now, but they also did from 2007-2012. Who knows when, where, or what type of coaster is next. We can speculate all we want, but can we at least save the heavy speculation for when a real hint comes out (a.k.a. what Knoebels did)? Not to mention that in one of the Point Cast's they did or in some interview in 2012, the Lady also said "Coasters are in our DNA" I don't know about you but when I see GateKeeper I don't exactly picture a DNA shape of any sort. ADD ON: Just out of curiosity, why do people consider the Pipe Scream or any other Disk'O coaster to be a roller coaster? And what is a "true coaster"? the way I see it its some sort of car/train on a track that goes through some sort of cycle. Debate could continue all day and one could probably argue that Wicked Twister isnt a true coaster if they really felt like it. To prove my point heres what Dictionary.com calls a roller coaster: a small gravity railroad, especially in an amusement park, having a train with open cars that moves along a high, sharply winding trestle built with steep inclines that produce sudden, speedy plunges for thrill-seeking passengers. Not exactly the most specific definition to cause so much controversy and debate over what is and isnt a coaster. just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 ^You may want to check out the recent thread about exactly that. There's also a lot of overlap with the various credit counting threads. Personally, I would never think to count it as a "credit," but don't really care whether it's a "coaster." Not to muddy this "coaster or not" debate too much, but I recall Cedar Point trying to say how Six Flags Magic Mountain's Superman: The Escape was not a coaster in order to discredit SFMM's coaster count. It just makes me chuckle when Pipe Scream is much more debatable as a true roller coaster than Superman ever was, but Cedar Point was so quick to announce Pipe Scream as a roller coaster addition. That's funny, because I have a coaster book that explicitly classifies Cedar Point's Demon Drop as a roller coaster. This was after Superman: The Escape opened, but it was still considered a revolutionary new technology at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
