Guy T. Koepp Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I find it weird that of 7 days of the week to be closed, they chose Friday. Anyone have any insider information as to why this was?
thrillerman1 Posted July 29, 2014 Author Posted July 29, 2014 All I can think is that they hosted a lot of corporate events on Fridays, or why would they give up the revenue from the GP? Hopefully someone in the know will speak up. It is puzzling.
Geauga Dog Posted July 29, 2014 Posted July 29, 2014 If you notice onthe calendar that one Friday they are open was the big July 4th holiday weekend. It is wierd that they were closed on Fridays.
thrillerman1 Posted August 3, 2014 Author Posted August 3, 2014 And now into the 2000's when Carowinds is actually open on more than one Friday per season... POSTCARDS Y'ALL TOP GUN!
thrillerman1 Posted August 10, 2014 Author Posted August 10, 2014 Last call for Carowinds...2007 Open on Fridays during the summer!
thrillerman1 Posted August 24, 2014 Author Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Up this week is Castle Park where I briefly ducked in one night to find all of the rides closed. For all you Chance Fireball (Six Flags) enthusiasts out there... Edited September 11, 2014 by thrillerman1
thrillerman1 Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Here's part 1 of a look at Cedar Point in 2003 when Top Thrill Dragster was the new hotness as the world's tallest and fastest coaster on the planet! Fantastical art rendering. Even more fantastical art rendering!
hey...hey Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 And now a more modern look at BGW in the mid-2000's era... Â Hey look, Batman The Ride at BGW. Ninth picture from the bottom. Goes to show how early the pamphlets are made up.
Nrthwnd Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It still boggles my mind, that the height of Blue Fall drop tower in Japan, is the same height, if not slightly shorter, as Top Thrill Dragster? Â It still freaks me out, I have not been on this, sooner! Â Great share, Mark!

Â It still freaks me out, I have not been on this, sooner! Â Great share, Mark! Â Thanks Bill...Blue Fall really was great. So amazingly tall! Just imagine about another 100 feet added to it for TTD.

Â That's really neat how they referenced Gemini, Magnum, and Millennium Force with those height/speed numbers.
PKI Jizzman Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Wow at the car trains on Thunder Road at Carowinds! Wow! Never seen that before. The Powder Keg flume looked great as well. I miss that park, I need to go back! I remember seeing those original TTD cards. Ahh, takes me back.
thrillerman1 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 ^ Yeah dude the trains on Thunder Road were really cool for the moonshiner theme back then. Thanks for checking out the thread as always!
thrillerman1 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Part 2 of Cedar Point in 2003...
Nrthwnd Posted September 15, 2014 Posted September 15, 2014 I used to order, and recieve in the snail mail packets for Cedar Point, from the park to where you could stay.... Their main magazine was so cool, with coupon entry offers for a great visit there.They really were and still are I percieve about their park and it's importance in the Ohio economy, strong on this principle. To the present day. I really wish I could visit this park, some day, while I still can, ay my age.
thrillerman1 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 ^ Bill, you should definitely try to go! Â 2004 featured the opening of Castaway Bay, the indoor water park resort...

thrillerman1 Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 Jumping ahead a few years to 2010, and CP has downsized their Getaway Guide considerably, but at least you still get a lot of great coupons inside... Does anyone remember Rockband or still play it?
thrillerman1 Posted November 16, 2014 Author Posted November 16, 2014 On we go to 2011 with Cedar Point's debut of Windseeker...

Chris Benvenuto Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 I wish I had some of those coupons for my visits to Cedar Point. I go to the park enough during the season that I probably would've used most, if not all, of those during the year. Â 30 dollars off each night Breakers or Sandcastle? Hell yeah!
thrillerman1 Posted November 25, 2014 Author Posted November 25, 2014 ^Besides some of the great photos in the Cedar Point Family Getaway Guides, the coupons really seem to be one of the best parts.
