Brent York Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Does anyone know much about CP's "Sneak Peek Weekend" May 7th - 8th? What would be open (including restaurants)? How busy would it be? Edited April 6, 2016 by Brent York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I went to the park's website and was almost immediately greeted with this huge image on the home page... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepoint4life23 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I will be going that weekend i was hoping it would be low key but it seems like that are making a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I know that all the money goes to charity, but 500 dollars for front row first ride? Was gatekeeper this much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boldikus Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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?

DoinItForTheFame Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I know that all the money goes to charity, but 500 dollars for front row first ride? I'd gladly pay it. Not only does it go to charity, but it would be an awesome experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMarkSta Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If I had an extra $4,000 laying around I would buy an entire front row and ride by myself. Just because I could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillies2 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I wonder how much the back row is, I'd rather sit there anyway from my experiences with riding griffon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garet Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 ^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ape Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
