Coastard69 0 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 ^Oh ok, well probably with the metal detectors, it would be still be quite slow moving. But perhaps not an hour. I'm seriously considering going. For someone who has talked a lot of shit on Robb and TPR on his Twitter page, coming here with your name and location, and some of your recent posts...yeah I give you a week.

Password121 0 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 When I was at CP on the 19th, I noticed plenty of volunteers sitting at ride entrances and controlling the FL merge points. I also noticed Schlitterbahn employees manning the Magnum gate turnstiles. When I was there, this girl working the entrance of Wicked Twister told someone Maverick was at the front of the park and then said "I'm not really sure though, this is my first day." So I politely told both of them where Maverick was (and that it was broken) and she explained she works in the summer at Waldameer, but was sorta drafted to work at CP for Halloweekends. They really seem to be looking for anyone and I mean anyone to work Halloweekends. Is it a logical thought that with everyone having Gold Passes next year Fast Lane will see less sales because people will simply come more often, instead of going all out for 1 visit? I hope so. Outside of Magnum and Gemini, you still have to wait 15-45 minutes for most of the coasters even with Fast Lane. This has been the case for the last several years at Cedar Point, it's not recent at all. Once Halloweekends starts staffing is a major issue, so the park uses volunteers (typically college students in some student organization) that are only there for the weekend. Many have never been to the park before, and it's really not the park's fault. There just isn't staffing available for weekend only seasonal positions in Ohio. Link to post Share on other sites
tndank 183 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Flash sale through Thursday: $75 right now for admission and FL+ Good through Sept 13 (excludes Saturdays) Link to post Share on other sites
Chibul 0 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 What's the normal price for Fast Lane Plus? Trying to decide if their sale of $69.99 is worth buying in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
operative_me 0 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 On a busy day, FLP can be well over $100. That price you found is a good deal. It might exclude some days, however. Link to post Share on other sites

ytterbiumanalyst 169 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I've never regretted buying FL+. There really isn't a slow day at Cedar Point. Even when I've been on weekdays in June, I've still seen lines of 30-40 minutes that became walk-ons or close to it with FL. That's completely worth it. Link to post Share on other sites
WolfBobs 34 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 What's the normal price for Fast Lane Plus? Trying to decide if their sale of $69.99 is worth buying in advance. This is probably the cheapest you'll see it. Even with the Platinum Pass in-park discount it usually doesn't dip to $70 for FL+ that often anymore. Most Fridays and Sundays will see in the $100+ range and Saturdays (which is excluded here) has hit $150 during the summer and Haunt. This is a good price to jump on.

thepoint4life23 8 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 My bet would be about the food/and drinks that they will be bringing back that have long since gone. what the plan is for the resort that they bought, and other little shows and touches that will be going on this year. Maybe he will talk about the pass perks. Link to post Share on other sites

Canobie Coaster 199 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 While none of these things alone would get me to return to the park, this would be something I'd love if I were a local and grew up with the park. Link to post Share on other sites
operative_me 0 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I am happy to see Snake River Expedition. Western Cruise/Paddle Wheel Excursions was a nice memory from my childhood, I'm glad to see it returning in some form. I don't know why so many people were expecting a Winterfest announcement. I like how when asked, Jason McClure basically laughed it off and said go to Kings Island. It is a balmy 27 degrees here in Northern Ohio, with winds blowing about 25 mph, making the windchill about 6 degrees. I could go on why I think Winterfest would be a tough go at CP, but you all already know. Now excuse me I'm going to go drop $100 on a brick. Link to post Share on other sites
