Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Lol on the beating a dead horse pic! Sorry.

Not only by removing several family attractions

 

Out of curiosity what family rides? They removed one of their 3 car rides which still leaves them with one more car ride than 95% of major parks, a redundant observation tower and Paddle wheel excursions. In that same time they added Lake Erie Eagles, Pipe Scream and Dinosaurs Alive so in my mind it's kind of a wash. Even if you don't count Dinosaurs Alive it still doesn't seem like a huge deal.

 

Disaster transport

Paddlewheel

Space spiral

Turnpike cars

White water landing

Swan boats

Wildcat

Swabinchen

 

Not to mention raising the height requirements on rides like iron dragon. There are not many rides left in the park that the entire family(kids and adults ) can enjoy together.

 

The Dino thing is not really a big deal. My kids have been through it once or twice, and have not asked to go back. And the only reason we went into it in the first place, was because it was free with our passes. Just about every zoo or musium seems to have a Dino exhibit of some kind these days. Come to think of it, the 2 times we walked on the Dino trail, it was almost a ghost town.

 

I love the coasters that they are building, but I would also like to have a decent amount of family attractions that we can all enjoy together.

Kinda of Topic but i will be at the Park Saturday and Sunday whats the best place in Sandusky to get Breakfast ?

When I was younger I loved that it seemed Cedar Point was just geared towards thrill seekers and there wasn't a whole lot for an entire family. Now that I am adult have have a family I still feel the same. Kings Island is a fairly short drive south and is great for families. If i want Family I go to Kings Island, If I want big thrills I head to Cedar Point. I know not everyone feels the same but that's the way I have always looked at that.

Cracker barrel and Bob evens are good.

If haven't noticed yet, new construction pics are posted on the CP site. Still not much to see other than more footers.

[Peeps28]

I see 80 % chance of rain for Saturday. Buying some ponchos on the drive up.

If there's a saving grace is that Platinum Pass Holders still can pay $99 for a Saturday for FL+. I'm flying up in a few weeks to visit KI for the first time on Friday and then driving during the night to CP. I freaked out when I saw the FL+ cost for Saturday...luckily, the $99 as a pass holder benefit is still worth it on a Saturday.

I still think that Valravn is a hoax and that it will be bulldozed as a 700 foot RMC 4th dimension Polar Coaster emerges from the ground.

I remember going to Six Flags when Fast Lane (which it was called there at the time) was like $5, and the insane amount of b*tching from the people waiting in the regular line when they realized people could buy their way to the front. It's amazing how times change, now it's 20x the price and no one blinks.

^ The last picture is my favorite - I love watching people's reactions as they reach the end of the ride!

What could it be this time

[DJeXeL]

Tony is on a epic level of trolling. I'm still laughing at this.....

[simaticable]

Obviously there's going to be a 500 foot RMC Aquatrax that has a dark ride section, a tunnel into the lake, and is in the new boardwalk section of the park opening in 2020. Mantis doesn't exist as a standup, so that item is already done.

[CP Maverick]

I'm tempted to say that someone (aka Tony) has been reading fan sites for too long.

Hello Cedar Point fans! I am new here and wanted to share photos I took of Top Thrill Dragster with you, enjoy and please comment!

 

They are ok pics but pretty fuzzy. They look like they were taken with a video camera and then screen captured.

 

I would suggest either using your phone's camera or getting a decent digital one.

Oh please no....

[blk_mamba]

This a mega-troll move however what this also tells me is that Cedar Point listens. They know they have to cater to the general public but they know people have a higher expectation of them as a park. I think the build board publicity moves and this note highlight the fact that they are know as a park of record breakers. Funny picture.

I was at the park last weekend and was able to grab a few shots from halloweekends.

 

Nothing too special, but thought you guys would enjoy.

Friday night had VERY short waits.

This is one of the new fright zones.

Yep.....more parts

A few shots of the construction area.

Let's check out the track piece.

Ouch!

Tony clark getting in on the fun.

Noted

Gatekeeper doing its thing

This years magic show has a bunch of new scenes.

Blaze is a new area this year

Lots of this stuff to look at

Looks like dragster can use a new paint job.

Still my favorate ride in the park

The witch kicking off the festivities.

Crappy ride, but still beautiful

Skeleton crew was ok.

The new slaughter house haunted house

The moon and raptor

The power of the tower

It's nice that they are making use of the props from the paddlewheel ride, but I would rather have the ride back.

The show at the red garter(think it was called edge of madness?) was ok. The songs were the same as last year and the singers could not hit a lot of the notes. Still a good show, and packed.

These singing pumpkins were singing the song from the haunted mansion.

A few more random shots....

Foam pit must be new this year

Mantis has made it into the ride graveyard.

Blurry picture, but demon drop still lives on in the park. I spotted this while in line for hexed.

That's all I got this week. Ill be back in a week or two.

[kcurry11]

^Awesome pictures. Interesting to see they have a track section on display.

[TyRush]

Great photos! The one of Raptor and the moon is amazing. If only it was called the Raven it could be a cover for Edgar Allen Poe's story

[CP Maverick]

I see you snuck onto Dragster shortly after they opened it. We were climbing the lift on Millennium the first time I saw the tower light up on Friday. Had to be around 11-1130.

[DILinator]

I'm going to CP tonight! Wish me luck that not all of the coasters are closed due to high winds... At least the crowds should be pretty low since it's a terrible night to go! (I probably wouldn't be going except somebody in my party bought a couple of day-specific tickets for tonight... )

[coasterbill]

I just checked the weather, seriously call the park and beg to switch the dates. Even if they charge you something to do it just do it.
