I wonder what the cement cylinder at 2:30 is?

 

Possibly a new water tower of some type. I've seen a similar one constructed in a town near me.

It's a new vertical boat design.

Seems like a water tower to me, I wonder if it's replacing the other one or just in addition to the other one.

[PVA62]

With the water breaks last year, I don't blame them for adding a bigger water tower just in case.

Are there any days in June when the park isn't expected to be crowded? I might not be able to make it to the Run and Ride, and if there are days when the park isn't expected to be as crowded as the Run and Ride day I might go then instead.

 

I would say your best bets for smaller crowds in June are the 1st and 2nd (Wednesday and Thursday), as well as Monday through Thursday the following week (6th-9th.) After that week, most schools are out for the Summer, and crowds will pick up. Hence, why they are open later during the week, starting that week. Hope that helps!

Here come the: "But the second drop isn't vertical" complaints.

[coasterfreak101]

I'm pretty sure the second drop is never vertical, even though it's always advertised as so.

I just popped in to say that Instagram filters are the worst.

 

Ride looks great though. Lol

Short wait? Don't mind if I do (ride number 11 if you're keeping track). #Valravn

Valravn Rider Queue Entrance

I can't believe that no one has said that it's to hold the water for the unannounced Valravn splashdown - I'm disappointed.

[coasterbill]

That entrance looks really slick.

[RyanTPM]

Wow, that's quite an entrance sign, very impressive!

How about this one?? #NoFilter

 

(At least no filter according to Cedar Point.)

I think JJ Abrams took that one.

I like the fact that the ride wait sign only goes up to an hour so they're expecting that the ride ops will be pumping trains out of there like there's no tomorrow

[coasterbill]

Or they expect everyone to be like "meh... let's go ride Maverick".

[willh51]

Interesting that they didn't have the queue sign go past an hour wait time. Of course that will eat people with three trains and Cedar Point operators.

[thrillseeker4552]

That's a sweet looking entrance for a sweet looking ride. Too bad I can't visit this summer... maybe 2017!

I'll be visiting in August and my family friend offered to buy me a Fast Lane pass. How do those work?

[thrillseeker4552]

It's very simple. You get a wristband and that wristband lets you cut the line (most rides have designated lines for them, if not, it's up the exit). That's all there is to it.

 

And remember, you can't skip the lines on a few top attractions (I forget which ones they are this year) unless you have FastLane Plus. I'd assume Valravn is one of them.
