Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[VF15]

^

I don’t think Cedar Point will ever have Winterfest, mainly because the park is not located in a major metropolitan area. Many other cities already have somewhat similar Christmas festivals and events. Since Cedar Fair’s Winterfest events are not really focused on rides, it probably wouldn’t attract that many people from outside the Sandusky area.

So, is everyone still thinking 2020 is the year for something big?

[bluestreak]

Here we go again....

I'm thinking 2019 is the year for something big. This Forbidden Frontier sounds really cool.

Don't know much about it yet. Guess we'll find out.

Why are we so adverse to discussion around here? It's the offseason now. Time to turn that pent up non-riding into something useful, useless speculation.

Sort of. Kind of. Yeah. That's true.

Not really, no.

I'm thinking 2018 was the year for something big.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's the offseason now.

 

I'll dedicate a lap on Nitro to you this weekend.

I heard they're bout to get a god damn 500 footer over Lake Erie. Son a bitch supposedly gonna leap off one track section and travel 200 feet before it lands on the other track. That son a bitch sounds dangerous but that's what my sister told me they building. She got through middle school, so I doubt she'd be wrong.

[RaceBoarder]

Depends on your definition of "big"....

 

 

I can promise that whatever they get in 2020 will be too big to fit inside a 5-gallon bucket... That's pretty big to me

Rumor has it that they're building another strata coaster. Except this one actually is on top of Top Thrill Dragster. Instead of starting at the ground and launching 400ft in the air, you climb up to the top of TTD's top hat, get on the coaster, and then launch off of that another 420ft in the air until you're 880ft off the ground. Then the rockets turn on and you fly over to Kings Island where you duel their Giga for a while before flying back to Cedar piont.

 

Just a rumor, though, I wouldn't put too much weight on it...

[thrillrider]

The park just acquired more land....

Nice. My shithole Econo Lodge lives on for another day (barely).

Appreciate it, fam.

Is this the vacant area next to the econolodge? I believe that there was an Italian restaurant at one time in this spot if it's where I am thinking.

[prozach626]

Shit. They're starting to surround The Pony.

[larrygator]

I thoughts the parcels of land mentioned in the article were already controlled by Cedar Point, except for the alleyway mentioned.

[Vonni]

Was the Econo Lodge a Best Western about 17 years ago? (That was the last time I was a CP)

I'm not positive, but I think the best western was further down the road and is a magnuson(sp) hotel now.

FYI Cedar Point has a sale on today for single day admission and a fastlane+ for $75. Cyber Monday sale, expires at midnight for anyone who's planning a trip for next season.

Ok... I took a quick look at the Erie County Auditor again and compared today's parcel numbers with the numbers I saved from last year about this time. In 2018 it appears as if only 5 parcels of land have been purchased by Cedar Point according to the auditor website. Four of the parcels are located right next to Sports Force (presumably for that 3rd expansion) and one itty bitty one is up right underneath 3rd Street to the left of Cedar Point Drive

 

The stuff highlighted in Yellow is what was there late 2017

The stuff Highlighted in Red is what was purchased throughout 2018

 

Your guys' Econo lodge and thirsty pony are in no more danger than they was last year

None of the new parcels are really that surprising...

That's a relief.

Does anyone know if Cedar Point will be accepting PayPal for chill out tickets? I know they’ve offered it for tickets and passes in the past but I’m not sure if it will be the same for this. Thanks!
