coastercrazy216 Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 Hi there, I am going to either Cedar Point or SFGAdv for my senior trip, but I can't decide which one. I want to go to the park with the best overall collection of coasters. Should I go to a different park than these two? Thoughts?
Rollercoaster Rider Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 I'd go with Cedar Point even though not all of their coasters are awesome (Maverick is cool however), Now watch me get yelled at by everyone here.
SharkTums Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 ^^Have you been to either before? Do you like Wood or Steel? Just coasters? How many days do you have? More info will lead to better opinions on what you should do.
coastercrazy216 Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Honestly, if it's an airtime machine and it's a good ride, I could care less about wood or steel. I would prefer a more well rounded experience, but I can give that up. I have about two days and the possibility of a flash pass and I haven't been to either
SharkTums Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 It's a hard call. A first timer going to Cedar Point for two days could be a lot of fun. That being said, SFGAd has the better coaster package if you ask most people. Really you can't lose, pick one and have a great time!
CCI Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 I was able to get everything I wanted done at SFGAdv in one day without any trouble, and the rides were spectacular. While I can't say anything about Cedar Point, as I've never been. I am singing SFGAdv's praises. I'm sure you'll have a blast no matter where you chose.
molemaster43 Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 If you have a "Coasters-To-Ride" list or something similar, you can use that to base your decision. Or, you can compare the Top 7 coasters at each park: SFGAdv El Toro Nitro Kingda Ka Green Lantern Superman: Ultimate Flight Batman: The Ride Bizarro VS. CP Millennium Force Top Thrill Dragster Magnum XL-200 Maverick Wicked Twister Raptor Mantis That should help you a bit.
scooterdoug Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 This is a tough choice! Both are fantastic parks. There are a variety of factors to consider. First, of course, roller coasters. Both parks have standout rides, though I would take El Toro over anything at CP. Still, CP has a better Intamin collection (I'll admit, I'm definitely an Intamin fanboy). If you have two days, that could factor into your decision as well. Two days at CP is perfect (I always do that, never one day). However, 1 day at SFGAdv with a Gold (or, if you are so fortunate, Platinum) FlashPass is more than enough to ride yourself into a blissful coaster coma. If driving to a second park would be a realistic option in your senior trip, then one day at Six Flags followed by a 2 & 1/2 hour trip to Hersheypark for a second day there would be unbeatable. If you can only go to one park, however, I would give the SLIGHT edge to Cedar Point. Although, really, you can't go wrong with either one. Yes, it is a tough choice. However, may all your life decisions be as tough as this one.
robbalvey Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Look at it this way, either choice is a "win" and neither park is going anywhere, so you have something to look forward to later in the future. You have Maverick as your avatar, so maybe the choice is already made up for you?
Carnage Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Is the decision purely based on just the park? Or you care about other things to do in the area as well? SFGADV has a lot of options in other parks and general attractions in the New York area. Cedar Point doesn't really have much else to do in the area though. Best not to venture too far outside of the parking lot.
