snowmanpa Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Dorney Park has a wristband system where you can load money and us it to pay for food and merchandise. I believe Dorney Park was the Guinea pig in seeing if this program would work and how the General Public would react to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njcoasterguy34 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 does anybody wear cargo shorts? they're convenient imo. I wear cargo shorts and find them to be the best option. Easy to carry your phone, wallet, keys, and anything else you need without worrying about losing anything or anything breaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdahoKat Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I legit don't understand who wouldn't want to see all the park's wait times...well, other than a Fast Lane person. I look at that when I'm not already in line for something to help plan my day, especially since it includes closures. Also unless I'm missing it, there isn't a space for the season pass to be entered in the Android version. I guess I'll check again in 6 months when I go to a CF park again and download the new-improved app. I have an Android phone. I just now opened the app to make sure I wasn't thinking of the wrong thing. It's there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southpuddle Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This offseason is going to be unbearable. Hardly anything interesting to follow, and the hottest conversation on TPR is currently revolving around cargo shorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 This offseason is going to be unbearable. Hardly anything interesting to follow, and the hottest conversation on TPR is currently revolving around cargo shorts This. I wonder how hard it would be for CP to do like a fall beer festival the first 2 or 3 weekends in November. Have a few rides open and have a ton of beer. It would certainly bring people in the park, especially if the weather is like it was the first two weekends of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollerManic Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The little double down Screamscape is talking about is the prelift section we have all known about for some time now. Mean Streak Renovation / Soak City Expansion - (11/19/16) While I cannot share it, an interesting image was sent in to Screamscape this week showing off the installation of the IBOX track system being installed on the turnaround from the station to the bottom of the lift hill on Mean Streak. While the first rail sections are just being added to the lift, it is the straightaway leading to it that caught my eye, as a pair of fun little humps have been placed just before you hit the bottom of the lift, creating an itty-bitty little double-down style maneuver.

Nrthwnd Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 ^ This reads like what they did to Twisted Colossus. I didn't remember seeing any photos, or within any POV of it. Totally surprised me. And happily so. This should add fun to the ride, even before you're over the lift hill. If that's what's being done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfreak101 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Cargo shorts are among the best inventions of all time. Why doesn't anyone in SoCal understand this!?!? They have a fashion sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A construction update video was also linked, but the user removed it per Cedar Point's request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Cargo shorts are fantastic for amusement parks but suck for everything else IMO. I can't picture myself wearing without them at amusement parks, and on the other hand I can't picture myself wearing them out side of amusement parks. But anyways, skyrides.

ElectricUncleSam Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 See, now hats on the other hand- I have NO idea how the hell people keep those on while riding coasters. Last time I wore my hat on a ride, it flew off on a ride as calm as Calypso. Then I see people wearing hats on Magnum, Millennium, Diamondback KI, etc. Confuses the ever-living hell out of me.

prozach626 Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I thought I hated the endless speculation over the names of coasters until the endless momentum of cargo shorts conversation came about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
