Rollercoaster Rider Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 [attachment=0]PicsArt_02-08-08.28.03.jpg[/attachment]While it is by no means super accurate, I combined the blurry image from the slideshow and the crisp picture outlining the marketplace and highlighted some key elements to make it easier to see. I took particular care on the the skyride as well as the possible hyper coaster and as you can see they are separated by a passable amount. Another thing I did happen to notice though was that in the top-right corner, Woodstock Express is overlayed on top of what appears to be a slide tower. I'm wondering if we could see its removal as part of the expansion One of the presentations (the one I wrote about here, same as the fuzzy photo presentation) did mention two potential family coasters, the suspended flying one and a mini wooden coaster. If they actually added both those I could see Woodstock being removed. Or the Go Karts being removed Or (BIG DREAM WISH) Adding a Parking Garage in the employee lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Did anyone see on their face book that they're already putting the trains on the track for Patriot? They look phenomenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 Did anyone see on their face book that they're already putting the trains on the track for Patriot? They look phenomenal. I saw their video on Instagram. It looks fantastic! There's no doubt in my mind this ride will open on March 25th, and I'm hoping to get out there for opening day! Super excited.

anonymouscactus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Quick question: for haunt, what is there to do between 5:30 when the park 'closes' and 7:00 when the park opens for haunt? (based on the website hours there is that weird interim) -- is there any rides or areas open during this time? Anywhere to eat? Etc. I know some parks do a buffet meal during transition, does CGA do anything like that? Also it appears it's not a seperate ticket event and I can attend with my platinum pass. Just wanted to confirm. Trying to plan a big west coast trip Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to plan a big west coast trip Thanks! They do a buffet in between some days towards the end of October. Nothing in the park will be open, you'll be cleared out just like it's regular park close. There is a restaurant in Levi's that is open during this time, or stuff just a 15-20 minute walk away. You can attend with a platinum pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfrosaurusWrecks Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Apparently a test or pull-through of the front cars was done a few days ago from the posts on the park's social media... The trains are looking absolutely fantastic. I did notice something interesting looking at all of the posts about Patriot in that they never have showed the station in posts since its demolition, maybe I'm insane but is it possible that they could surprise us with a station roof? I know the odds are probably against it but a man can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the odds are probably against it but a man can dream I sure hope so. Considering a lot of the station has to be gutted to make way for the floor mechanism, it only makes sense they would kill two birds with one stone and add a roof. Heck, even something cheap like Full Throttle's is better than nothing. Either way, I'm super excited to visit CGA this season. Been dying to get out there and try Flight Deck and Gold Striker.

anonymouscactus Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 So it says on the website that the park is closed during 49ers home games, does this apply at night during HAUNT times as well? I'd imagine a 1:00 Sunday game is done by 7:00, but do they still close all night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anonymouscactus Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 That's good to hear. I'd hate to make the long drive from the LA area to just go to Discovery Kingdom. I have platinum passes for Cedar Fair so doing both parks should work perfectly. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfrosaurusWrecks Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 The new website went up today, it looks nice. They also are incorporating the drink plan and season fast lane that other cedar fair parks are. The season fast lane seems very cheap too, only $89. It might be worth checking out.

rolercstrluvr Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 This season long fast lane is really getting me hyped for the 2017 season. Looks like I'll be in for some long ert sessions on Gold Striker and patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Surprised this hasn't made it's way over here. The park posted this video yesterday of Patriot cycling! [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I wish they would have worked red somewhere into the color scheme, but, for the most part, I like the colors. I am eager to hear how this ride is received. If it goes well, I hope Cedar Fair will convert the remaining stand-ups and not delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfrosaurusWrecks Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Looking great! And to add to the hype, it was asked during the ACE tour if the ride will get a station roof/cover, and the park confirmed it (unfortunately I don't remember who it was by or where is was posted, so I can't give credit). It's nice to see the park doing this, the Vortex station in particular was unbearable on hot days. Hopefully we will see more investments like this with the expansion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 That paint job looks great. While I fully expect this to be one of the weaker floorless coasters, it's still sure to be a super fun ride which is amazing considering the pile of crap it was before.

rolercstrluvr Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Just seeing how it's running is getting me excited. Other than that, im ready for my opening day, got my season long fast lane. Can I reserve my spot on GS now? I'd also like to add, is anyone going to be here for the opening day festivities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayCool64 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 The park just announced Patriot will open April 1st. I knew that something like this would happen. Seems typical for CGA to have delayed openings for their new rides. First Firefall, then Gold Striker and Mass Effect, and now this. I'm not complaining or anything (wasn't truly looking that forward to Patriot), but it seems like a pattern going on with this park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolercstrluvr Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 ^ It's only a week delay, GS didn't open until late may. So this isn't that much of a delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 April 1st is still a decent opening time for a new addition! Most don't open until Memorial Day Weekend or later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laqueefa Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not to mention when citing a delay like Gold Striker, you're negating the fact that it was mainly due to the last minute additions of noise walls, thanks to the neighboring tech companies.
