coasterbill Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 so is MF down for wind too? Gatekeeper, Valravn, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Raptor, Steel Vengeance, Wicked Twister and probably others are down for wind. I believe Magnum is somehow open, probably since the wind is off the bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 ^ Why do they take Wicked Twister down for wind? Worried it might valley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Ohio State day got rained on last year and nothing was open. Wonder if they played into this at all to get them to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Wouldn't be surprised if WT just isn't ready to open. Seems like they always struggle to get it ready for opening weekend. Damn intamins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman820 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Headed to Cedar Point tomorrow, got some free tickets from Coke . Looking at the new park map, it seems like the best entrance to just run to Steel Vengeance is the resort entrance by Gemini. Anybody else have any other ideas?

Airboss Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Resort entrance is the way to go. Just make sure you get there early, I got there 20 minutes before opening when I went and it still had a long line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the Marina entrance on Valravn opening weekend and it was packed, considering it's right next to the ride entrance. Glad I don't have to do that again.

Don't worry Buckeyes are used to being disappointed between this and how college football has gone for them in the play-offs the past few years...

Intaman Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 [attachment=0]CPOS.jpg[/attachment]Wonder what the line @ Guest Relations looks like. Probably a lot of [attachment=1]manager.jpg[/attachment] My girlfriend and I remark about this hairstyle often and associate it with suburban moms who haven't quite realized it's no longer 2003.

Anybody else have any other ideas? Please let us know if they let you park in the water park lot. Last year they would not open it till 10:am so i could not get to that gate for early entrance.

Didn't they just open up the boardwalk that now reaches all the way to the front lot? so you *could* park in standard lot, and just walk all the way up the boardwalk to the resort gate, no? (it's not like one doesn't do a lot of walking at CP anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to drive down early Sat morning and check in, get my early entry pass and go to the resort gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Wow, that's a sweet deal. That's significantly less than what I'm going to be paying for Breakers Express. Also, you know you're not getting screwed with an old crusty room, since they've all recently been redone. Just don't expect any kind of view, which should be fine.

I believe the parking lot for Cedar Point Shores still won’t open until 10AM, however with the new boardwalk you can park in the main lot and walk back to the resort entrance!

macman820 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Waiting at Gemini resort entrance. They let us into the point right under Dragster, and now we’re just waiting for early entry. Taylor from Coaster Studios is right in front of me. Large crowd. They opened the Cedar Point Shores parking lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 If this morning is any indication I can't wait for Valravn and Gatekeeper early entry rides this year. You probably won't even have to get off of the train. That stampede to Steel Vengeance was some "Lion King" level sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterbill Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 After watching a few videos from this morning's stampede I would love to see the park walk people back to Steel Vengeance this season like Disney does with Pandora. Since Camp Snoopy is open for Early Entry and not Planet Snoopy won't you have a bunch of kids in that same holding area? I'm kind of worried that they'll get trampled by deranged coaster enthusiasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiABeta Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Currently in line and it’s pretty long, we’ve made it through one set of switchbacks but this wait isn’t too bad for us, but they set the sign to have over a 4 hour wait already. And we saw them wheel out another for the extra crowds that come when the park actually opens. 4 hours for early entry though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman820 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 Took part in the stampede from the Resort entrance, it paid off. I was through the line and off the ride in about 20 minutes. New favorite ride at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macman820 Posted May 5, 2018 Share Posted May 5, 2018 ^ what time did you start at the resort entrance / how early did you get to the park? Got to the resort entrance around 8:30-8:40. As soon as National anthem last note ended, all hell broke loose. Everybody just sprinted to the entrance and hopped in line.

A coaster that won the golden ticket 15 straight years is now a compete after thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
