MonkeyPants Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'd like to ask those who've been to Coastermania how they liked it, specifically, how was ERT? Is it super crowded? Or do you get some sweet ridage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Force_4_ever Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I went last year and it was good, for morning ERT Dragster and M-force had 10 minutes lines if that and night time ERT was a 1 train wait for everything...and I will be there this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes and no. It's not pure ERT, as much as it is just a bit of extra time in the park. It tends to be really busy, so you're not getting as many rides as you'd expect during a tpical ERT session. I really enjoyed CM when it was in September that one year, as the park was not busy that day. But when they have it on a saturday in June it tends to be packed, which lessens the amount of rides. It's worth going to as long as you're not coming from really far away just for the event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it is always on a Friday...but the times I went it was crowded and did not get too many rides on the coasters...if it is alot of rides you want to get on...I suggest going during the week in May...but Coastermania is a Blast a great atmosphere ...either way you will not be disappointed.

Carnage Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 ^ I've been twice and both times it was a saturday if I remember correctly. Though I think this year it's a friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked it has been on a friday every year except 2004 (cause of it being held in september due to the ACE Con) (if it makes you feel any better it lasts till saturday sometimes ) JEFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyBrewer Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Anytime there is an event where you can meet Jeff Putz in person... you know it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I stand corrected. Though I could have sworn the 2003 year was a saturday. It was definetly busy enough that day to feel like a saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Anytime there is an event where you can meet Jeff Putz in person... you know it's worth it. Nice. This year it's on a friday... But regardless, I'm not asking so much what the normal day is like, just how crowded the ERT gets. 10 min waits... That's cool 1 hour long... Not so much.

Carnage Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Well at least the two times I've been the morning ERT was just as long as it would be during the day. But evening ERT was pretty light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edboxer Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 last year's 6:00 am ERT: MF was maybe 10 minutes TTD 15 minutes for the front seat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cprocks22 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I went for the first time last year and it was awsome. We stayed at Breakers so we didn't have to leave the park between the Coastermania ERT and the resort guests ERT, walked right up the ramp on TTD. Same for Millennium.

benzo41190 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I was also thinking of going this year because our last day of school (last day forever for me!) is on late May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) I've been thinking of possibly heading over to Cedar Point next year, for their Coastermania weekend. Anybody want to TR on how it's been, lately? I think for myself, it is one of The Earliest Bucket List things I have ever wanted to do in my life, no matter what was going on. Cedar Point was an ongoing beacon to me. And, I might actually fulfill that very early coaster dream! And still be physically able to ride those =&%#@*( rough ones, ha ha.

JRice92 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Take note, this year CP is limiting the amount of people that can attend coastermania since people said it was getting crowded. I don't know what that number is but they specifically cited so the ERT's will have less people so you can get more rides in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdad Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Last time i went to Coastermainia it was a few years ago. it was on a saturday . It was kinda crowded as they advertised it on the radio and tv stations open to any one, even one with season passes that don't belong to a club. It was a fun day but the morning session took to long to get rides up and running so many didn't get many rides. I know I got 1 ride on maverick and then head over to get a ride on MF before GP. Waited about 15 for that . Evening session was a little less crowded rode Mf 1 at night was great, then headed over to TDD and got 27 rides in before they closed the ert. The last 10 rides were the best as there was no line and we got to stay in our seats. Well ok they did tell us we had to get and walk a round to prove that we were ok to ride more.Most interesting part of the night was we had a group of 5 teen party crashers that were trying to sneak on to the ride only to have security round them up and escort them out of the park. You had to have a wrist band to ride. We did have our ERT extend to 1 am as several of the rides didn't want cooperate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I went 2013 and it was pretty great, albeit it was the most amount of coaster enthusiasts I've ever seen in one place at the time (Coasterstock last year beat that). Even with that, I'd highly recommend doing it at least once because it is an awesome event, especially if it's your first time to the park (like it was for me). You'll get a huge amount out of the park from doing it! I hear it's been getting a bit packed like the above two had said, and with some folks saying that it felt a bit more unorganized. I can't say I experienced any "crowding" or un-organization of any sort, so I can't speak on that issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 I just checked the site, and it's definitely sign-up only, as a "club member" with what they've listed, including Club TPR. So it looks like they are limiting their numbers, from past years. And it's definitely not "open" like it used to be. Which is great. It's a learning process. 2017, here I come...

Nrthwnd Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 ^ Hey, wait till you're my age. Dense sounds so much better, than sometimes not being able to filter (or remember) what you say. Thanks for the honesty. (And you ARE 101, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I hope everybody (who's going) has a great time this Friday, at... Coastermania! 2016 And don't forget, one of you if not more, to post a TR afterwards, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
