No mention of Coaster Con?

As much as i'd like a new coaster, i enjoy the tranquility of the lake front. Must every inch of the park be developed or have attractions? Its good to have a nice shaded area to go n relax. I think since they're removing Grand Stand amd the fort, any coster in that area should go towards skull mountain and keep switlik lake clear.

I would imagine developing old country would be cheaper because there's already facilities and paths. I have a feeling that another ride like chiller would go there because of the small foot print and that ride fit nicely there..

I still have to go there. I love a nice old parks. I had a great time at kennywood a few years ago. It's a completely different experience. I also have to get to Lakemont park to ride the worlds oldest coaster Leap the Dips

I just signed up for ACE so i can attend coaster con! Too bad NAMTAB won't be running. That would be awesome! I think i'll ride it once, maybe twice depending on how it is. Boomerang coasters always make me sick so i'm guessing the same for NAMTAB.

yea.. i hope it stays. I missed it last year timing was just bad for me.

Why demolish the fort? I'm sure most of the superstructure could be used for a ride station and queue area. But theming seems to be an issue. Like what themes do we have? Green Lantern and Superman are good and being next to eachother, sharing a common theme is good. But do you make rides fit a themed area or have the rides have seperate themes?

I love the idea of a stunt coaster, been on the one at King's Dominion. It was fun and exciting but I can't see Great Adventure maintaining that type of ride. Sure the first few years would be great but give it a lil time and elements will be taken away. (batman)

How about compact coaster like Fahrenheit and Maverick? I just hope it's unique. We already have record breakers.

also, the pass is good for everybody with the handicapped person. I used it once with my mom. She had to use a wheelchair. I would go to the station and they would give me a time to return.

Yes. Present the voucher at the toll booth, they'll stamp it with the date, and once it's scanned at the turnstile, they hand you the pass. No processing line. As long as your pass and parking are on the same voucher, like mine was.

Good!! Looking forward to going now. lol

Why is the path in old country reopened? I havent gone this season yet but if i remember from past seasons, there's nothing over there. You walk all the way around and the 1st thing open is dark knight and food places across from it (next to batman). Looking at that picture makes me realize how much space there actually is and how much potential this part of the park has.

seems like this week was a bust.. So I don't need to go to season pass processing for parking? Do I use the voucher i print online to get in for parking then they scan the season pass voucher and parking is added to that? Would love to not wait over an hour in line for processing.

I wouldn't want to ruin the serenity of the lake though. At the same time, they don't use it for anything. Maybe if it went behind skull mountain and that way. Whatever it is, even id it's not record breaking, it will be someting new and unique.

Neither, I cant wait for my 2 road trips of 2015, ride Wicked Cyclone at SFNE and take my 1st trip ever to Carowinds and ride Fury325

I want to go down there so bad but to be honest, it looks like they have the same rides as kings island. It's on my list of places to go, along with going back to kings dominion, just not a priority.

I saw the same commercial! i wonder how many people go thinking that will happen?

I have no idea what i'm doing. Last year was a complete bust. I only went maybe 10 times. Normally its over 20 times! I am off that monday so i might go sunday? i just don't know.

Will it be backwards for coaster con?

the lines for batman are gonna be super long! time to open the "bruce wayne park" lol.. I'm looking forward to batman backwards. It's one of the more "intense" inverted coasters. I'll probably go on 1-3 times depending on how it is. I normally get a bad headache going backwards, thats why i stay away from the boomerang coasters, but I would like to sit in the front and the back to feel the difference. Not to mention different views than what you have going forward. El diablo is nothing special for me. I never understood the fear or scare factor in going upside down. It never bothered me. It will be nice for tall people like me to experience this type of ride because the standard carnival "ring of fire" is a super tight uncomfortable squeeze.

I got an email from cedar point for a day pass and skip the line pass for $60! Pretty cool!

I'm sure they don't spend all the money in their budget. Cedar fair i think charges more for the larger parks. I was just thinking, i've been to more cedar fair parks than six flags! They seem to have more themed rides too! Like the stunt coaster and flight of fear. The platinum season pass for all the cedar fair parks is also a crazy price like $180 something. Daily tickets are around $40. You can really see the difference in both parks though.

If they raise prices, they have to raise the quality of the park. You want it to be worth your money. People pay that much for Cedar Fair because they offer a lot more. I woud gladly pay $120 like i used to and if that includes hurrican harbor than its good. Before i was paying $120 and that was just for the pass and parking. Do the trashy people buy season passes or day passes? It seems to me that if they're coming from the city, they wouldn't make the trip too often. If that's the case, raise the price of regualr tickets a lot and raise seson pass a little. They might also make more with the trashy people as they tend to like thrill rides.

I went about 6 times. Lowest amount since buying season pass. I normally go 20+ times. I was just busy this year and didn't make plans at all.

Swashbuckler, Deja Vu (been on at other parks) Dare devil dive. I love the slingshot! Twister is one of the dumbest rides! People scream like crazy on it and it's nothing. Now the version at King's Dominion is a different story! And still haven't done the safari, the line is always too long.

wish i went to buy some stuff!!

yeah, where's the clearance on merchandise? Normally, anything that has the year on it is like half price! I didn't see it last saturday so maybe this weekend? I'm not planning on going since they have special events both days.
