Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[Nrthwnd]

^ I just remember it being beers only, with a couple of ciders here and there at the booths.

No hard liquor tastings that I remember seeing. Or tasting, of course.

 

And here's our TR: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=74913\

And we didn't take that many photos (if any) of the food we had, or what we drank.

Sadly, this is the only shot I took of what we had at the B&B. I'm pretty sure Bert took more photos.

Nice! they extended the hours 2pm- 9:30 pm

I am really beside myself knowing that I get to ride that thing fairly soon...

OH NO TONY WHY MUST YOU DO THIS...

I just want a POV of the whole ride is that too much to ask?

BTW these trains seem so much better now on the track than I originally thought in the renderings. Still can't wait to deal with Opening Weekend just to get a ride!

Love it

That's a fantastic-looking train! CoasterMania can't come soon enough.

 

I, personally, don't like to watch POVs of coasters that I'm riding for the first time in the near future; I don't want to spoil the surprise. Is that just me, or does anyone else think that way, too?

I normally would watch the POV to get excited, but I can't get any more excited about this than I already am! Plus since it's so close within reach, I might as well just wait to ride it.

I wonder if the lights on those trains will light up or are they just for design purposes as well I don't know why they don't let them light up. That would be so damn cool. Either way, they look amazing!!!

^^I don't think I've seen a ride with this level of hype since Millennium Force. It's unreal.

 

On that note, I think there's a strong likelihood that preview night will be incredibly cold and we'll see some hilarious bitching from people with entirely unrealistic expectations. I fully expect this thing to be "OMFG AMAZING", but I'm really interested to see if people can maintain their sanity when this thing opens and not do what they did when they got one ride on Twisted Timbers on a 38 degree morning and blew it up on Twitter.

The front of the train(s) looks great!

[bert425]

I'll need to go through y'alls trip report again to see some of the food pics. Were there liquor samples available? We aren't beer drinkers, but liquor is a yes...lol

 

there is a brewery type place on the pathway between Millennium Force's entrance and the Petting Zoo headed towards Frontier Town.

 

we were at CP for 3 full days, and I believe this was only open on 1 of those days. but they had all kinds of ales, and (I think) some straight flavored liquor type libations.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Ah yes, now I remember....

 

Thanks Bert!

CM! Day, Friday June 2, 2017. Me and my cider. My precious. (With the Liquor Libations Board behind me.)

[ytterbiumanalyst]

 

Love it

Wow, that's awesome. All these RMC trains look pretty great, and they seem to just get better. This year's two look the best of the bunch, aesthetically.

[Nrthwnd]

^ It's very impressive, and the fact they decided to photograph it in this style is pretty cool, too.

[Sportsdude360]

Awesome trains!!!

[DILinator]

3 weeks from today!!! I finally get to ride this amazing creation with my kiddos (and rawkincoaster)!!!

[DoinItForTheFame]

 

Love it

 

Now that's a beautiful looking train!!

 

I also love the filter they put on the photo to give it more of that vintage feel!

[PKI Jizzman]

They look so big and bulky like a mine train. Can't wait to see them in person!

[DaMarkSta]

Have you guys seen this yet?

 

https://www.cedarpoint.com/tickets-passes/passholder-ride-nights

 

Summary plenty of ride nights for passholders

 

7 different nights for platinum pass holders and 2 nights for regular and platinum pass holders!

[steamedturtle]

I did just see that today! And I'm going to be at the park on May 22nd, so I really lucked out there. It'll be awesome to get a genuine night ride on this beast.

[AndrewA86]

That's awesome! It's a good bet that i'll be there for each and every one..

[robbalvey]

Guys remember this...

 

ANYONE WHO POSTS A CONSTRUCTION PHOTO OF STEEL VENGEANCE

 

REGARDLESS IF IT IS YOUR PHOTO OR NOT, WILL BE BANNED FROM TPR FOREVER.

 

Yes this is still in effect while the park is not open to the public. So that means testing videos that have not been authorized by the park may not be posted to the forum or you will be banned forever from TPR.

 

There is not open for discussion and we will take a zero tolerance stance on this.

 

Thank you for understanding.

[chickenbowl]

Sorry Robb. I figured because the video was filmed from inside the park by employees (that all had their cameras out) that they were given permission or authorization to do so. It looks like someone is getting in trouble at CP...

[thrillseeker4552]

Any updates on the new boardwalk/beach area that's being opened up down by Wicked Twister and GateKeeper?

[CoasterInk]

Good question actually... that got lost in the hype for Steel Vengeance. If you look on the live stream, you can see the boardwalk almost complete, and can see them doing something with the area where the stadium used to be.

 

On a side note, Cedar Point has released a real picture (not a "rustic" one) of the trains on their Twitter.
