Cedar Point 2010 Getaway Guide reduced to almost nothing!

Just got it in the mail and was shocked to see it reduced to a large

foldput pamphlet instead of the nice magazine with tons of pictures

they used to have. Cutting back on expenses I assume?

Really? That's a bummer. I have a few of those from past years. They were cool to look at! Very nice, high quality I'd say. That's too bad then!

This little thing called the internet has made those guides nearly obsolete.

CP changed them last year from the magazine form they used to have. I have been getting them since 1999!

I've been getting the getaway guide since 1989. Keep them coming in any form. It wouldn't be the start of a new season with out it.

Who needs pics, it's all about the "coopuns" anyway! Just got ours Friday as well, it really did shrink. Wish more parks did this kind of stuff though. It really helps when you have kids and they want souvenirs, to play games, and eat yadda yadda yadda...

I got my second Getaway Guide not too long ago, and I think it's actually better than last years, visually speaking.

 

CP wants to minimize paper and with everything being online nowadays, it's perfectly understandable that the guides are getting smaller and smaller.

I actually remember ordering one of these in the 90's and thinking how cool it was...(oh god I was such a coaster geek back then!)

 

I haven't gotten one in probably the last 10 years though, cause it really is obsolete with the internet, websites, etc. Good for CP for saving money and trees!

[tanthonyam]

Im sure that is the main reason why, with the internet and the "going green" trend. The website has pretty much everything you need to know about the park.

The brochure is still in it's six page form, but the picture of STR makes it look like they built a ride in a Brazilian forest. I still have no idea why our family never got/ordered one of those getaway guides. Maybe it's because we only went to Six Flags World's of Adventure. I was so underprivileged (sp?) when I was six.
