netdvn Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 At this point CGA should just cut their losses and enclose the ride sorta like Disaster Transport. Enclose the ride, remove the ugly tunnels, and add cool props at strategic parts of the ride and queue. It beats having all those ugly tunnels everywhere.

The only thing is that the ride would be traveling too fast to enjoy the effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagg O'Dim Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I have a hunch that CGA is going to announce an extended operating season for next year. They posted this picture on Facebook today with the caption "Why does this kid have the run of the park in December?" And they posted this one last week: "Action from our Holiday video shoot today. Stay tuned!" Wasn't Matt Ouimet quoted somewhere as saying the park is looking into extending season to coincide with the 49ers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollercoaster Rider Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I wonder what it will be called. The only Holiday event I can think of that Cedar Fair does is Knott's Merry Farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netdvn Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Cedar Fair should reconsider bringing Winterfest back. Not just at CGA, but the other parks. Christmas events are pretty big now. No point in losing potential guests and money to rival parks during November-December. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Plus, the weather isn't that cold in the Bay Area during this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppy Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I'd visit during the holidays if time and money allowed. Shoot, I'm trying to get outta dodge and head to a warm place with all the beautiful people that you just don't see during this season bundled up under 53+ layers of clothes.

kidcoaster 2 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Six Flags Discovery Kingdom announced a year round schedule, maybe they are just following SF's lead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I have heard rumors, (can't mention names), but I heard that they may be extending the park season an extra month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal1br3tto Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 There does seem to be a resurgence in Christmas events or extended operating seasons in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 When I first started checking out CGA I was surprised to find that it was not a year round park. I think its something they could certainly pull off, and it would be nice to see them give SFDK some more competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisibleinthedark Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 There have been a lot of rumors in the past season going around that Great America might be operating until Christmas. But these are all only rumors since ever since last year's Global Winter Wonderland. As far as I'm aware. The only Cedar Fair park that operates year round is Knott's.

rolercstrluvr Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 [youtu_be]http://youtu.be/r-5mR2lOPoU[/youtu_be] The CGA fb page has just posted this video, looks like a cute holiday video. OFFICIAL: PARK OPENS MARCH 29th FOR THE 2014 SEASON. Only 99 days till the park re-opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturday709 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Okay... it was a good video and the concept was fun; but has anyone else noticed that the "snowflakes" on this kids' beanie are blatantly pot leaves?? Someone messed up on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
