Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

I’ll be there in an “I’ll be your Gatekeeper” shirt and the Maverick “wild ride” shorts.

 

Kidding, I won’t be there, but have fun guys.

 

LOL...what about for free beer?

[Nrthwnd]

^ And I want photographic proof of this outfit.

Or if Zach shows up pointing at coasters with a 'Killin' It Daily' shirt on...also free beer all day for him. lol

 

Thoughts on Cedar Shores...

 

* Muffleheads swim-up bar had people drinking alcohol in the enclosed pool area, but nobody at the actual bar serving drinks - it looked abandoned /defunct. But at the gate, no one was manning it and it said that Muffleheads was closed. WTF?

 

Private party in the middle of the week with no actual bartender, or were people just going in there anyway? A weird experience for sure.

 

Luckily Schooners bar nailed a good Mai Tai with a half cup of booze. F$ck Muffleheads.

 

Note that some of the mixed drinks here are cheaper than the draft beer. And fun fact: they were being liberal on the booze...just saying. And anyone from CP reading this, don't take that negatively!!! ☺

 

* The "new" slides are fun, but they need a few more thrills like a funnel or toilet bowl slide. For Cedar Point, it's a good water park, but not elite. I can see where this will likely change though.

 

* Love the re-theme to Lake Erie, but damn...every tree that was in the water park is gone. Love all of the plants and Adirondack chairs though.

 

* Ride op's and service at the water park were sub-par for Cedar Point standards.

 

 

I know CP ride op's will be killing it on all of the major rides tomorrow though.

Wish I could join in on the TPR takeover lol. Stupid family obligations am I right?

They were running a deal on Platinum Passes that ended about 36 hours ago that included all of next season and unlimited visits this season and a free Fastlane Plus. The deal is now that you only get one visit this season and no free Fastlane.

 

Call the park though. I'm not optimistic but the worst they can say is no and it's always worth asking.

 

Hey Bill, how does one find out about deals with fast acting Platinum pass renewals? I never get a single email about this stuff and didn't see anything in this thread. I also missed the Dollywood 2019 pass deal by getting our 2018 passes just one week before they announced their 2019 pass thing. Very frustrating! Any tips? Usually I rely on folks here to post deals but you all have let me down in this case

Its been a while since I've visited, but I'm going to the park next Thursday and staying at Breakers Express to get the all important early entry. Does anyone know if you can park in the lot by Breakers / the waterpark if you aren't staying at Breakers or going to the waterpark? Trying to get closer to Steel Vengeance at the start. Thanks!

 

I have never once had an issue with it in all my years going to the park, including 5 times this year.

[prozach626]

Sounds like you had an interesting experience, Phil. I've also found that mixed drinks always appear to be loaded with booze at parks, which seems odd. You'd think if anything they would be more conservative. I'm a lightweight, so I've had a couple Six Flags mixed drinks that have kicked my ass. You should sample a few more today, just to be sure they're consistent! I hope you get plenty of rides today.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Headed there today too. I'm wearing a Kennywood Potato Patch T-shirt and cargo shorts with zipper pockets like I'm an actual enthusiast. *sigh* Probably won't be the only one with a Potato Patch shirt though because Kennywood is so close and those fries are awesome. So if you meet the other guy with a Potato Patch shirt, act like he's me and confuse him, ok?

 

Oh dear, I've rambled. I need to get to the Point more often.

[Ape]

In the evening if any of you see a stocky ginger wearing a grey Steel Vengeance shirt feel free to come say Hi. I plan to finish the night at Steel Vengeance

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Hot take: Steel Vengeance is good.

Getting reports of a power outage at the park, and sandusky.

[christianscoasters]

I live in Sandusky and yeah, power is out.

[coasterbill]

This poor park can't catch a break.

 

Also I saw this video on Twitter and had to laugh. The Millennium Force crew goes hard.

Looks to be widespread and not just CP

[thrillrider]

2 out of the 3 webcams are out. The main midway cam is working. Looks like they may have partial power in the front of the park, as the water splash area is working(along with the webcam). None of the coasters or food stands are open.

[coasterbill]

Power is back. Twitter can chill the f*ck out now.

[Ape]

Im 15 minutes from leaving to head to the park you guys had me nervous for a second even though common sense would tell me they would have power back within the 4 hour drive.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Valravn's getting evac'd.

[JJLehto]

Alright so got my 2 rides on SV which took a total of 90 minutes even with early access. Quick ride on Mforce, had to leave park to do something, come back and literally everything is closed. Power outage? Well then this has been something ha

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Apparently all of Sandusky is out of power. Fine by me; I've been on SV, Maverick, Millennium Force, Gatekeeper, and Rougarou, so I'm pretty good with that. They'll get it going again though.

[JJLehto]

Ofc and they did, and while disappointed at the time lost and log jam it causes for SV and Maverick I'll let it go, one the park can t help it, and two no one let's ya be a human being on this site anyway and just vent ha i did get 3 rides on SV which while they took a total of 2.5 hours guess that's what normal wait was. Hoped for more but hey plenty of other rides to enjoy. Will make the most

One of CP's Twitter followers is having a crappy day.

And you wonder why we have such a low tolerance for humanity these days...

[prozach626]

 

So she stopped drying the piss water off of her to make a tweet? Amazing.

 

On another note, this weekend seems like it would have been the weekend to go, since there are a few of you I'd actually like to meet. The power outage is a bummer, but we'd just have to try to drink up all of the beer before it got warm.

 

Have a mostly cold 'one' for me while I work from 5pm-330am.

If she was in the restroom with her phone and couldn't see, maybe she should've closed Twitter and used her phone for something more useful like, say, a flashlight?
