KDCOASTERFAN Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 ^I will agree that a ride on Chaos is nothing to pass up, but the one at Cedar Point was kind of a piece...it was down all the time due to hydraulic problems and the mechanics never really knew how to fix it. Not to mention the employees weren't too fond of the restraints Last I recall hearing was that Chance Morgan recalled most chaos rides due to a problem with the restraints,funny thing about that is when I last rode SFA's chaos before it was removed the restraint did feel rather loose so I was not looking forward to flipping the ride half as much as I used to.

triggernel Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I went two days in early August back in '09, and was suprised at how quiet it was. Went Thurs. for twilight, and Fri. for the whole day, getting to ride every major ride at least twice. Longest line was an hour and forty five minutes for MF, but that line quickly went back down to around 35 min, which was about the average for the big 3. WT, MS, Magnum, and Gemini were all under 10 minutes which was also a plus. You should be fine if you avoid the weekends. PS. Hold off on Raptor until the middle of the day. We waited 45 minutes early on, but got a walk on in the afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomNick Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nice to see the blog back! I really enjoyed some of their "behind the scenes" stories and info. In a semi-related piece of news, looks like plans are all but finalized for my brother's bachelor party bash at CP on opening weekend! I'm pretty stoked to be heading back there after a 2 summer hiatus. Also pretty excited to be at their opening weekend, as I've never done that before. Handful of guys messing around, doing a bit of drinking, and riding coasters - sounds like a pretty perfect weekend to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I haven't been on opening weekend for two years but hopefully it's not too bad. From what I remember, it suprisingly isn't too crowded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Coaster Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I plan on finally hitting up Cedar Point this year after not being there for 4 years. May 2007, the opening day of Maverick. I stood through 2 hours of rain for Maverick, and I LOVED it. That whole day kicked a**. The only downside was missing out on TTD because of wind... I swear, this year I'm getting on both TTD and KK... I'll be sure to hit up Windseeker. Hell, maybe I'll even get a few rides on Mean Streak, seeing as the old grandpa never has a line...

traincrossin Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Sir Rub-a-Dub's Tubs is totally going to win this. The time has come for Ride Madness 2011. We have seeded 64 Cedar Point rides and arranged a tournament bracket. Each ride will be paired with a college team according to their seed and region. The ride whose corresponding team wins their game will advance. Download your Ride Madness bracket and predict which ride will become the ride champion! http://bit.ly/dTN6pM Have fun and good luck!

DougMJr Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 "A great morning for construction! The first tower piece of WindSeeker was installed this morning."

coasternut Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just posted to Cedar Point's facebook page. Vertical construction begins on Windseeker. Ah the beginnings of "Breaking Wind" = their non-coaster for 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B&MIntaminGCI Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 This is probably going to be one of the best Windseeker experiences since you have the lake right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster mindy Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Would I be crazy to go to Cedar Point on Memorial Day Weekend. This is the only weekend I can go, we will be there Friday and Saturday then hit up Kings Island on Sunday. I will be taking my 4 year old son and my mom so we will have someone to stay with him while we go ride the big stuff. Do you think it's worth the trip or will it just be so packed we wont have a good time. I have not been to Cear Point in about 4 years. It's a 9 hour drive for us.

redfoot12 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 ^In a similar vein to Mindy's question, would I be insane to do a Cedar Point trip 4th of July weekend? I can't make it for Coastermania like I wanted. I'd still like to do Kennywood and Waldameer as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 ^Well if you're concerned about riding a bunch of coasters, no. But on the other hand, the experience is quite amazing! For instance, riding Twister while the fireworks are shot off barely 300ft away. The entire lake fills with lights from people's boats because they all come to see the fireworks. Not to mention, lines open til 1:08am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
