Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

P. 2037: Siren’s Curse tilt coaster announced for 2025!

Recommended Posts

Actually, park may be rather crowded as there are specials running for platinum pass holders, bring a friend for 24.99 and that friend gets early entry, etc....

 

I think these specials run most of next week. According to the emails i got.

CP breaking the inversion record has been around since the early 90's when every coaster they built was a record breaker and people still cared about that sort of thing. The park has so many coasters it only makes sense that rumors about what they don't have (a flyer, something with 27 inversions, the beachside GCI woodie and "boardwalk" area) have been around for ages.

Cedar Point has started to put up Halloweekends signs including one for a new haunted house. Sounds like it is going to be something like a haunted hotel.

 

From the looks of the Midwest trip, they already have one of those called "Hotel Breakers".

Yeah that's the Bon Air wing of Breakers for you. Very old and outdated. The newer parts of the hotel are much nicer, but very overpriced. The funny thing is that during Holloweekends, they decorate the hotel (or at least the lobby) with all kinds of Holloween stuff, like cobwebs, spiders, etc.

I laughed. Also some of the rooms have interiors left over from like the 70's.

 

The view is still a coaster geek's orgasm though.

Ok my ride on millennium force for the first time was insane. I rode at night time and couldn't see what was coming at me until i was already going over it. The first drop was delivering on the negative g's bigtime. After that it was smooth sailing over the first over banked turn and trough the tunnel. On the first airtime hill the lift force was just right not to harsh but not to soft and it made me feel like i was floating. After the next two over banked turns were over and the second airtime hill we pretty much just flew over that last little bunny hop and got a nice little positive g on the last over banked turn right into the brakes. It was a heck of a ride and my favorite ever.

The Sandusky Register said that it was a device that looked like a bomb. The Lorain County bomb squad responded to it and the destroyed it with a high powered water jet. The person that planted it was from Pennsylvania and his date in court is coming up like next week I think.

So I've had a season pass every year since 2005, minus this year due to my leaving in two weeks for university in Florida. (Hell of a commute.) It just occurred to me; I haven't even been yet this year! Usually I don't even let June go by without paying a visit to CP, but I guess end-of-high-school rushing and SFGAm amazement earlier this month just pushed it back. Oh well. I'm going with a few of my friends, including one who a) has never been south of Toledo, and b) has not once in his forsaken life ridden a roller coaster. I keep telling him not to think he HAS to ride stuff just for saying he did so, but he's so damned excited he doesn't care.

Today at 5pm Nik Wallenda from the famous "Flying Wallendas" family stopped by Cedar Point to walk the Sky Ride. He walked at the highest middle section from one tower to another.

^I, for one, am almost glad I didn't, though! (Even though it would've been exciting!) Think of the tension and worry...even though I know he knows exactly what he's doing and has safety back-up. But even just the threat of failure, let alone harm, would bother me.
