Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[MiABeta]

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.

Millenium Force may fall into the category as well. A coaster that won the golden ticket 15 straight years is now a compete after thought...

 

The Fun TVs are showing all the wait times around the park and everything is 0 besides Maverick lol.

We bought a couple of T-shirts for my wife and daughter to commemorate the occasion. Yesterday my daughter pointed out something odd with her T-shirt. Is there something CP is not telling us? Should we start the the rumours now

 

No. It looks like the Valravyn photo had software issues and the computer substituted "Adventure" instead. Or someone forgot to upload it. A bunch of shirts must have got printed before the mistake was realized!

likely means absolutely nothing, and this particular shirt just reflects some of the great coasters at CP.

 

note: also missing are Corkscrew, Gemini, Iron Dragon, and Wicked Twister (among the "big" coasters) - and if they had any plans to yank WT, they really would have done it prior to doing the Boardwalk around it I'd think

Like half of the rides have been closed today. The rides that are open have a pretty long wait. Does anybody know what’s going on?

Opening Day/Weekend is going on.

Also, that t-shirt is awful. Did the designer take a time machine back to 1987?

Steel Vengeance. Cedar Point figured that everyone was coming for that ride, why open up everything else. Save $$$$ and everyone is happy with their 2 rides on SV....

Where are you spotting those wait time postings? I see that info bar on the park app, but only with the Fast Lane details & the "Thrill Level" -- not the wait times.

There are ways to see it without being in the park.

Any chance you could explain how to do so? I love that Dollywood’s app shows wait times without needing to be in the park so would love to see CP’s wait times as well!

[Samuel]

^ Yep, I'm curious, too. "Wait times will show when you're in the park" is all I'm getting, and I haven't found anything about current wait times on the main website or any other so far.

There are apps to "fake your location" via GPS. I use "fake location" on Android.

Awesome - everything has 0 minute wait. I'm getting in the car right now.

 

Oh, wait....same at King's Island. I think I broke it.

SV trains collided in the station right in front of me. Nobody hurt.

Bad news at Steel Vengeance. Apparently two trains collided in the station. Not a good situation.

 

Edit: beat me to it

[CoasterInk]

Ouch... not something they need on opening day. Have they been running 3 trains?

[macman820]

SV is closed for the rest of the day. Some have been waiting for over 5 hours. Things at guest services are going to get ugly. Quick. One person went out on an ambulance according to Twitter

[B&MIntaminGCI]

That’s crazy and crappy luck. Hopefully no one was hurt and they can get the ride back up and running ASAP

[Jelenp]

I was in the back row of the train that got smashed. Thank god Im ok but waiting 5 hours for it was really demoralizing. Here’s a photo I took from the station before we got questioned.

[clem2754]

Saw a couple of things on twitter. One gave a step by step recount of what happen. Was today the first day that they ran 3 trains on it?

[prozach626]

Holy mother of God... I've been watching all of the live v-logs and video clips from coaster groups on facebook. It's like a different version of The People of Walmart. Coaster Campout is my first enthusiast event and I'm going to really have to get a handle on my douchebaggery.

Wow...

 

When was the last time two trains collided on a beautiful sunny day with riders on board on ANY coaster?

[prozach626]

Jesus... RMC is having a rough go at opening these record breakers. GCI & B&M called and said "Told you so..." (joking)

 

Id be surprised if everyone wasn't OK. I see people take bamblance all the time, because they aren't used to being jostled like that or they're thinking about long term compensation which is extremely common.

 

The human body is durable. My fellow ice hockey players know this.

 

Either way, they have two weeks to fix this or I'll have to settle on terrible rides like MF and Maverick.
