Ape Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 So buy in advance seems to be the winning options. I asked for the reports just to look through and see like what the value of each ticket it is and how many tickets various things may cost.

ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Yeah, Bill & Bert's has that info. They took a lot of pictures of the literature. I got some KC ribs and used the rest of my tickets on beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymouscactus Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 In 2017: Samples cost 1 ticket for both food or drink. A full plate of food or a full size alcoholic beverage is 3 tickets. Bottle of soda is 1 ticket. Each book / entry is 15 tickets. You can buy an additional book of 15 tickets for $20 after you go through your first book. Get 15 sodas and resell them in the park and profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WolfBobs Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 I don't drink much but it sure is going to be interesting after visiting that event then getting on SV Once again if you're a platinum pass holder you got a free 12oz sample from the Brew Kettle stand last year. Which was enough for me cause I too am not a drinker. Hopefully they do that again this year. If you have a season drink plan use that for your cokes/fountain drinks (there's a freestyle in the area) and save all your tickets for food. This is what I did and 1 booklet of tickets was more than enough. Even the sample portions are a decent size when you consider how much there is to sample.

I got some KC ribs and used the rest of my tickets on beer. Here's Bert's photo of the list of food from last year's B&B. Personally, I liked the Nashville Blue Plate BBQ, as you could put a whole plateful of food together with those sample sized servings. Which were pretty good portions too, I remember. The desserts were "okay." Nothing special, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Looks like there's a good chance Emily and I are going to be among the showerless on May 20th. Ever since I brought up the idea of camping in CP, she's been on board. I had no idea it would only be $200 for the both of us including two days at the park, a couple meals, and ERT. (Do I have that correct? It seems too good to be true.) Does anyone have an educated guess on how the crowds will be that weekend? We'd probably go for the FL+ at least one day. I'm also curious how beneficial the ERT will be considering the unknown on the number of guests present. I don't really care if everything is not open, considering this park has enough for 2-3 parks. My strategy is to bring as many hoosier sponge bath-ish style cleaning products as possible and use my prescribed ambien to get me through the night. I can guarantee that I'm particular enough to get myself pretty clean with a gallon of water, soap, and a few wash clothes while crammed in a tent. I won't be able to speak for the rest of the group.

prozach626 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 ^ I usually don't like to rub chemicals all over my body, but that very well may be a good solution. It would be nice to wipe down with that and then use a damp wash cloth to get the chemicals off. (not a pretty picture) Thanks for the tip. I'm really going to take that into consideration. I tried to find some youtube videos or TR's about camping in the park, but I'm striking out. Most of the videos I find are in the RV park and others are away from the park. *EDIT* - Disregard about the videos. I guess it actually helps to google the name of the event.

Password121 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 From working Millennium Force during the event in 2017, I didn't notice any difference in crowd levels than usual for that day. A weekend in mid/late May is usually a pretty good time to go if you're no overly concerned about everything being open and operated perfectly. I'd expect Steel Vengeance to be a little excessive, but everything else manageable in the regular queues and pretty laid back with Fast Lane on one of the days.

Philrad71 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 ^^ Zach - you could always get your hand stamped and go to the (nearest) bathroom at the entrance to the water park as they have showers in there that you can use without having to go into the water park. Another option would be to use the campground showers - the walk would be a little further, but they will likely be cleaner than the one at the water park (there always seems to be a lot of dead muffleheads in that one). I hear where you are coming from though - I would go nuts if I stayed a couple days at CP and wasn't able to shower. Actually, I can't even imagine going a couple of days without a shower, period!

prozach626 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I've never experienced ERT. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the typical wait time for something like Steel Vengeance would be with all of the other campers. Are these tickets limited?

During Coastermania! the evening ERT lines were longer than the lines had been on the prior day, so we skipped all of them, and just went for the kiddie coaster, since it was a chance to be a credit whore (which I'm not. . but it was a rare opportunity to ride Wilderness run) so that's the only thing we bothered with during ERT.. seriously, the lines for Maverick were longer than they had been all day.

WonderlandMan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Hey all, Coming down to CP from Toronto some Saturday early June. Only coming for one day, but want to ride probably every coaster twice, potentially a few of our favourites a few more times (probably SV, love RMC). Anyways, would it be worthwhile to go platinum pass? How much time will it honestly cut at that time of the year? Oh and if y'all know approximate price that would be awesome too.

Nrthwnd Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 (edited) ^ It probably would be worth it to get it, from my one-visit experience there. We got it for the day after CoasterMANIA! and it was just over $100 for that Saturday, June 3. The price varies depending on the day, and can go as low as $89 or as high as $110. Or higher. EDIT: Also, buying it online, just as you're about to go there, may save you a few $ as well. But - remember that all coasters are not created equal, lol. One (or more) could shut down, or be down for maintenance. However, we did get rides on all coasters in one day. Good luck for your one-day adventure, there!

I was wondering if anyone had any idea what the typical wait time for something like Steel Vengeance would be with all of the other campers. Are these tickets limited? To 1500, I think. Almost all of those people will be in line, so think 40ish minutes being practical assuming all three trains are running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
