  1. Any indication of what the problem is? comment 2 above yours suggests there could be power issues, but according to people at the park they've seen the rides cycling they just aren't letting people on.
  2. Hey man it's been a while! Haven't been on here in a good bit, good to see familiar faces! I don't know what the issue is specifically but I'm hearing that Diamondback, Orion, Mystic Timbers, and The Beast are all down, so there's something going on.
  3. https://media.giphy.com/media/12gTXYTS09oST6/giphy.gif ok how do I actually post a gif here? lol
  4. That's the one they recently bought land they had previously been leasing right? What I read was that they had done that to make it easier to sell in the future.
  5. That's a really interesting point that I hadn't considered at all. If I recall correctly though, aren't there parks in the chain that Cedar Fair has signaled they're open to selling? I feel like I've heard talk of CF wanting to sell Great America for a while.
  6. I don't think it's real either. My theory is that CF and SF were working on putting together some kind of deal (selling off a park or two, etc.) and it caused the rumor mill to spin up.
  7. I get the disappointment but I think they did this because they have something planned for that area. It's definitely possible that in a couple years we'll be happy with whatever they put there. I don't really understand why people are so certain it'll be 3-5 years. I get that there's a pattern of new additions, but doesn't this development signal things might be different this time? I could be wrong, but I just don't see them leaving that plot empty for that long.
  8. Disregard that part then. I still think the theming on the ride was well done
  9. During daily operations I visit the park A LOT through May, June, and July, and August. Since I've been doing this, I haven't ONCE seen someone smoking outside of a smoking section. Vaping, yes, but never smoking. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I definitely think it's being blown out of proportion here. I like this forum a lot, but man there is a lot of "THE PARK NEEDS TO BAN THIS OR THAT!" around here. Just relax and enjoy the park.
  10. Ok wait, that's really interesting. In what way is it different? I haven't been on it in like a month or so.
  11. What's early exactly? Was going to spend the day there but plans fell through and won't be able to make it until nearly 4 now. Please don't tell me I'm going to have to go straight back there..lol
  12. I fully expect we're going to love this thing. You going to the announcement?
  13. Exactly. I tend to go during the week, avoiding weekends like the plague, and so most of the time it really doesn't bother me to wait in the regular line and let the FLP people pass me by. I have noticed though, that some of the most popular attractions (especially Diamondback, but Mystic Timbers also) seem to have improperly trained line separators who will fill nearly an entire train with FLP people before allowing anyone from the regular line to ride.
  14. You're lucky then because I also visit the park very often and I see it all the time, especially on Diamondback. I've seen the line on Diamondback grind to a HALT once you get a group of teenagers with FL going through together and immediately jumping back on.
  15. I know Top Thrill Dragster looks like it might be out a while, but If I went up there and couldn't get on Maverick or SV I'd be really bummed. Those are probably the two I'm most looking forward to. Hopefully TTD is back up by then as well because I really do want to try that one out.
  16. Wow that's extremely irritating
  17. Are you still able to do the payment plan for passes you buy early for 2020? I have to buy four and was planning on getting Platinum passes this year as well as some other upgrades, so definitely makes it a bit easier.
  18. I mean maybe YOU can but a lot of people can't justify spending that much money just to get on rides faster. You do you man, but just know people are going to get annoyed when they've been waiting in line 30-40 minutes already and somebody just waltzes on past them. I usually don't really get irritated until I see a group just looping around me getting 4-5 rides to my 1. Certain ride ops do a really ****ty job and will fill almost whole trains with just FLP. It's one of the worst things CF did to the park IMO. I do understand why you do it though, and I've been advised many times that when I finally make it up to Cedar Point for the first time in like a decade here soon, that I should buy one because otherwise I won't get anything done.
  19. I mean on the other hand it's going to be some bull**** watching people just loop around you over and over and over while you wait in the 2 hour plus line.
  20. This has been mentioned before. I'm just curious since people keep bringing this up: does anyone have any examples of a park naming trains on a ride and trademarking them?
  21. Why is everyone so convinced the ride is going to be named something other than Polaris or Orion? Even if it's not going to be either of those, the chances of it just being something random people have pulled from thin air are pretty slim....
  22. Ah gotcha, that makes sense. I was thinking that seemed way too soon for the track to be finished, I know Banshee took a lot longer than that at least.
  23. Seriously?! That would be awesome. By topped off you mean the final piece of track? Or am I misinterpreting that?
