AndrewRnR Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I just watched a POV of KD's Hurler to refresh my memory of its layout, with an RMC conversion in mind... Man, talk about a boring ride! Even getting through the POV of it was tedium I just couldn't wait to end! Bring on CF's first RMC in 2017!!! (And then look for their second at CP in 2018! ) I think KD has already announced Hurler is being done in house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viking86 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nobody cares except dumb enthusiasts. The GP totally cares about wooden coasters. They're all old, dangerous and about to fall apart any second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dchang11 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Cedar Point is doing a Christmas in July promo. Get to Sandusky this month. $30 tickets online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchang11 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 ^I've always felt the RMC Streak for 2017 seemed a little soon... I agree. That would be five years in a row of coasters (depending on your definition of a coaster). 2013- Gatekeeper 2014- Pipe Scream (the questionable year) 2015- Rougarou 2016- Valravn 2017- Would be the new Mean Streak conversion I think they can take a year off from coasters; they need to build things that appeal to other audiences. I wasn't expecting coaster in 2016. Seems too soon. But Gatekeeper helped Cedar Point achieve record revenue, crowds, and even stock prices in 2013. Makes sense they had a little extra to build a new coaster in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMountainMan Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Random rain question: I can either go to Cedar Point tomorrow or Saturday however it looks like tomorrow might be worse on the rain front. Should I still just go tomorrow and risk the rain or go Saturday and fight a lot more crowds? I'm assuming that the typical CP overreaction to rain still applies and they are closing all of the big rides as soon as a drop of rain appears.

I'm assuming that the typical CP overreaction to rain still applies and they are closing all of the big rides as soon as a drop of rain appears. I'm just guessing most of us would try for tomorrow. Saturday lines are to be avoided at all costs, I'd rather be rained on.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 ^ on that note, how are Sunday crowds? It wasn't my idea but we are going the 17th and 18th to CP (with the Sunrise Thrills tour on Monday!! ) and I'm worried about going on a weekend, in July... No FP either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Great TR! So about early entry on day 2... Maverick wasn't open and Millennium Force's line was too long to be worth it, since you can't use Fast Lane until 10. So, we just kind of wandered around and relaxed, but it aside from that early entry was pretty much useless, unlike our previous day. I was a bit surprised by that, because I would think the lines would be short on early entry. The fact that you can't use the Fast Lane until CP officially "opens" is a bummer, too. I am going to CP for 3 days in September and am staying at Castaway Bay. We'll just have to see how the early entry goes then. It was a pretty busy Saturday, so I think that had a lot to do with it. Early entry on Friday was worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you get lucky, the rain might work in your favor and scare some people away. Either way, we're just about getting to the point in CP's season where it's always crowded no matter what. Your call.

SFMMGeek27 Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'll be there the 18th and the 19th. Staying at Sandcastle Suites. I'll be there open-close both days. Would FL+ be useful to me one of those days? Or could I get multiple rerides on all major coasters without it? I'm not buying until the day of either way but just want a heads up. Also, I know CP has a bad weather policy, but is it true that they have lightened up in the past couple years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeromyL Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 We were there the 4th of July. A very light drizzle started for about 30 min almost every coaster closed. Or at least all of the ones I tried to ride . If you like to ride. Go for FL+ it's worth it in my opinion Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited on a not so busy day earlier in May, but Fastlane + made my 8 hours at the park great. I got on all major coasters and some flats with minimal waits. I avoided huge waits for Maverick and Valravn, and got re-rides on pretty much anything I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
