Yeah, but it's gettin' there!

 

If you all get that rumored giga. Forget anything else till you remove a ride or two.

And Marineland...

[Brent York]

Does anyone know much about CP's "Sneak Peek Weekend" May 7th - 8th? What would be open (including restaurants)?

How busy would it be?

I went to the park's website and was almost immediately greeted with this huge image on the home page...

Worlds of Fun's problem is that got too much room tbh.

Must be a Missouri thing... (SFSTL)

I will be going that weekend i was hoping it would be low key but it seems like that are making a big deal.

[Philrad71]

^ The tallest, longest, fastest dive coaster in the world of which there are only two others like it in the US?

 

Yeah, I could see them making somewhat of a big deal about the grand opening.

[DorneyKid14]

I know that all the money goes to charity, but 500 dollars for front row first ride?

 

Was gatekeeper this much?

[coasterbill]

It's for Charity, anyone pissed about the price (not implying you are but I'm sure someone will be, lol) is an a**hole. The more they charge the better if they can get it.

[boldikus]

First thing I thought was "that better be for charity". Pretty awesome. Any idea what charity its for since I'm too lazy to google?

I believe it's going to the LaBran(sp) James foundation.

[DoinItForTheFame]

I'd gladly pay it.

 

Not only does it go to charity, but it would be an awesome experience!

[DorneyKid14]

A couple people said that's it was insane for the price. If I lived closer to cp and had the money and didn't have work at DP I would do it.

[DaMarkSta]

Hell the $500 i wont pay that but I'll gladly pay the $75! I can't believe its only $75 for general admin. Yeah its basically like a media day type event with only one ride but last year for Rougarou the general was around $115 I believe so the $75 is a steal and I will be grabbing those tickets as soon as I can.

[WolfBobs]

If I had an extra $4,000 laying around I would buy an entire front row and ride by myself. Just because I could.

[phillies2]

I wonder how much the back row is, I'd rather sit there anyway from my experiences with riding griffon.

[Garet]

I don't think I'll ever be one of those people who cares enough to claim the first or last ride on anything but I would love to see the park try a raffle style for front seats on a new coaster one time so people who are genuine fans of the park with all sorts of income could enter: $1 enters your name once, $500 500 times etc. winners get admission included, just because 1) I bet there are genuinely people who would want to at least try and get that first ride in their home park and more importantly 2) wouldn't that style probably raise more money?

[Henry M]

^I completely agree with you. It would give those who did not have as much money a chance at least but would raise more money.

[Ape]

I raised $1,300 for my front row ride on Banshee I don't think $500 is too much to ask of people that want to ride up front for the first train.

I was on board for a minute but here's the fatal flaw.

 

Nobody except for a few enthusiasts wants to go to an amusement park by themselves. Many people would probably buy 2 seats or more so they could go with their significant other / friend / kids... whatever.

 

In this system it's highly unlikely that everyone in the group would win. So let's say now the kid wins and not the dad so the kid can't get to the park, or one friend wins but now it's not as much fun because they have to go alone.

 

I like the idea of your system, it's noble... but the current system is probably less of a headache for the park and for the people who register.

Were you expecting something else? Then get your priorities straight.

[bluestreak]

^ You got me so excited.... and completely fulfilled that excitement!
