Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[MisterBrow]

I have a mean OCD streak , doesn't brother me because it means faster, hang that track off the edge if need be. If they centered it in the back of my head I'd be thinking this track isn't in the right center.

 

I have to admit when I saw the drop picture I involuntarily made a noise that girls made like 5 years ago when they saw Justin Bieber.

That track being so offset from the center of the structure is a serious OCD trigger!

 

 

Now that you mention it, that's all I can notice!!

 

I think the track is placed on the left side of the picture to make room for the catwalks on the right. I didn't notice the whole thing until you pointed it out, but the track starts being towards the one side of the ledgers at the top of the drop, and then ends up being centered at the bottom.

 

 

A similar thing happens on the metal lift structure i305 is built on. The track is to the right of the structure with the catwalk on the left. Once you crest the apex of the hill and the cat walk ends you can see how the track remains to the right. You only really notice it after multiple rides, but it doesn't matter cause you are hurtling 305 feet down.

 

Now that this structure is finished and so many other projects well underway, it's gonna be a long off season.

SteVen looks so great. Already got the hotel booked for Coastermania, just waiting for tickets to go on sale. Cannot wait to revisit one of the best parks anywhere.

Yeah, just think, RMC still has to build the whole second track so the ride can duel!

Didn't you hear? They are gonna do a 2017 open for the first track next week, but then build the second track for a 2018 dueling open.

The biggest plot twist in the 2017 vs 2018 debate.

Ha Ha! Same here! Great minds think alike I guess! My new FB Profile Pic, too... (Which you know! lol) Methinks maybe I'm obsessed with this coaster...

I haven’t updated from the wanted poster and promo images yet.

Sweeeeeet looking drop - imagine getting whipped over that bad boy in the very last row....damn!

 

2018 can't get here fast enough!!

[DoinItForTheFame]

We weren't planning a trip to CP for 2018... But the more we see SteVen progress the more we are taking of altering our plans to include a visit to ride this new Hotness!!

[Nrthwnd]

I hate all of you going to CP next year.

But don't forget CoasterMANIA! beginning of June next year...ERT on SteVen, possibly?

Why is all of your font so small??

[Nrthwnd]

^ That's is the way I do (non)hateful, and inner thought, under my breath...posts.

I go the opposite from screaming one's opinion or inner thoughts.

I try to put some 'character' in what I post. That's it. Simple.

 

Now - back to SteVen....

One of my fave early shots of SteVen. June 2, 2017.

[JT325]

Does anyone know why Cedar Point is open until 10 tonight and not the usual 8 for Sundays in October? Is there something special going on? I was thinking of stopping in tonight… unless there’s some special event signaling extra large crowds.

[coasterbill]

Tomorrow is Columbus Day and kids are off from school so they're expecting larger than normal Sunday crowds. It still won't be anything like a Saturday crowd though.

[JT325]

^Thanks Bill.

[bluestreak]

At the park now, it's gonna be a crowded one. Have my fastlane from renewing my season pass. Looking forward to a good day!

The last pieces of the completed circuit.

[DoinItForTheFame]

^ Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing!!

 

SteVen looks so amazing! And every new photo makes me more and more anxious to ride it next year!!

Undoubtedly ERT on SteVen, at least at night. They've typically done ERT at the front of the park in the morning and at the back at night. Got my hotel booked for Coastermania already--it's always the Friday after Memorial Day, so easy to plan. Just waiting for those tickets to go on sale....

[Nrthwnd]

I remember it as The First Friday of June (1st), etc. Works for me. But not for next year.

This is correct based on recent history. HoliWood Nights is the Friday after Memorial Day and in 2015, that Friday was still in May. I was able to hit HWN one Friday and Coastermania the next Friday.

[CP Maverick]

I'll stick to my weekdays, thank you!
