Mossed 0 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I'd be interested to know what the most popular coasters among guests are, as differed from the coasters which had the most riders. Based off of me personally talking to guests the past 3 seasons they usually said their favorite ride was either Millennium, Dragster or Gatekeeper. Occasionally guests would say their favorite was Maverick or Raptor. For me, it seems most prefer Maverick with a side of GateKeeper and Millennium Force. I noticed that people weren't quite as high on Valravn as I expected. Link to post Share on other sites
Philrad71 0 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ^ Don't tell that to my sister - she said that Valravn was her new favorite coaster at CP when her and her hubby rode it two years ago. She had never been on a dive coaster before and she just went nuts for it. They got FL+ and she said that they just rode it again and again and again...she couldn't get enough of it. Count me as another huge fan of Valravn and dive coasters in general. So smooth, so fun...and you just have to love that first drop. Is it my favorite coaster at CP? No, I still prefer MF and Maverick...but it definitely sits at a solid #3 for me. At least until next spring anyway! Link to post Share on other sites
ytterbiumanalyst 2 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 ^ Yeah, I feel much the same way. I think a lot of enthusiasts panned Valravn just because they had already been on the Busch Gardens dive coasters. For me, a good indicator of how much I enjoyed a ride is how many times I chose to ride it. On my day at CP back in 2016, I rode Millennium Force the most, 6 times, and Valravn was second at 5. Magnum and Maverick were tied at 4 times each. So even though when I think "what was my favourite ride there?" the three Ms come to mind first, I enjoyed Valravn enough to spend a good deal of time there, and I think that says something.

Nrthwnd 77 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I loved Valravn! Bert and I both did! Would have ridden it more and more, if we didn't have so many other #*!+%@& coasters to ride (and re-ride). Link to post Share on other sites

CoasterInk 0 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I suppose this is a tad late, but kind of interesting at the least. It appears as though Cedar Point is trying to simply buy up a lot of land in that general area for future use, and that the recent purchases weren't really much to get excited over...

CoasterInk 0 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 That took me a while also, so I got impatient near the end and started rushing, so I apologize for not coloring in the lines. Link to post Share on other sites

ytterbiumanalyst 2 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Up at the top of the photo, there's a bridge. That goes to the park. Thanks for doing that, CoasterInk. Very helpful. Edited January 9, 2018 by ytterbiumanalyst Link to post Share on other sites

coasterbill 468 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Yeah, I have a bad feeling my Econo Lodge isn't long for this world. Come on Econo Lodge, stay strong. Don't sell. Don't let them get a Monopoly on Route 6 and Cedar Point drive and start putting f*cking hotels on everything. They already (literally) have a hotel on Boardwalk. These people are straight up savages. Link to post Share on other sites
anonymouscactus 45 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Last call for room 202, lol! [For those out of the know coasterbill flashed his ACE memb--- I mean choice hotels membership card and got a free upgrade to a fancy ass weird as **** suite in room 202.... ] Let's all pay our respects to the econo-lodge, you were... simply ok... while you lasted... For what it's worth, I stayed there and it was actually pretty decent given it's convenient location, it's price, and not scary and disgusting as f*** like the rodeway inn's in town which I wouldn't recommend even looking in the direction of... not to say I've been there; I wouldn't be dumb enough to stay there at $35 a night after reading the reviews.... and after being in one rodeway inn for the same price in Texas and fearing my life and not even needing to bring out the black light to see the disgusting stains everywhere... ::shudders:: -- but the EconoLodge on the other hand, you will be missed for your outstanding value and location [/eulogy] Link to post Share on other sites

The Great Zo 30 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 What is the little spec of land at the top of the photo? I'm pretty sure the one out on the Chaussee isn't actually owned by Cedar Fair / Cedar Point, if that's the one you're referring to. It's a residential property. Link to post Share on other sites
jonskinny12 9 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 That Econo Lodge will be missed if/when they end up selling. I've stayed there a few times and will be staying there again in June. Hopefully it won't be the last time! Link to post Share on other sites

ytterbiumanalyst 2 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'm calling it now. Cedar Point bought a bunch of Siberian tigers and they're releasing them on the Peninsula later this week to eat all the seagulls. You heard it here first. Link to post Share on other sites

bert425 143 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hmmmm isn't that near the entrance to where the old "Shoot the Rapids" was? when we were there last year for Coastermania!, the guy in the museum in Frontier Town did heavily imply that SOMETHING was going to go there to make use of the empty space. maybe a Rodeo flat or something of that type?
