  1. Public service announcement: Air condition your mask by chewing ice
  2. Hey...the staffing issue I can understand...not having a basic grasp of ride capacity, and instituting a meaningless and actually counterproductive ticketing system is absolutely inexcuseable...if I borked my job this bad I'd get fired.
  3. So I'm just gonna say that if on the 7th and 8th Kings Island "knocked it out of the park", as it were, then today, the 9th, Cedar Point has "missed the ball entirely and somehow knocked the tee backwards into the janitor's closet". My expectations were low, given maxed capacity and opening day, but I was not prepared for most all the rides to be closed, and for tickets to have been over delivered by more than 300% Had a Sv ticket for between 12 and 1...arrived at 12:40 and was told 3.5 hours WITH THE TICKET....anyone in this forum could do a simple capacity calculation and determine the max number of tickets to distribute per hour...but apparently no one at Cedar Point is capable of such complex equations...seems the sum total of preparation was "here's a stack of tickets...they dont mean anything, but give em out till they're gone" So...as usual...Kings Island makes Cedar Point look bad...and I mean very bad...they have 1 ride that stands out above all others...but if it takes 3.4/4hrs to get a ride even with a ticket they can keep it...I got on Orion in under 10 with proper ticket distribution. It's just as bad on the other rides...I'm going to miss my time on millie because maverick was over ticketed
  4. It does make me wonder what's the point of this fun pix pass now...I got it so I could get shots of my niece/nephew on their first rides....seems useless now
  5. My mask is simply a layer of spandex...with the heat being what it was, the mask wasn't the issue...more lack of shade, indoor ac spots and available hydration. It was so hot that no water from the mist fans was reaching the ppl in line much less the ground...I assume it was evaporating immediately.
  6. I'm supposed to go to Cedar Point tomorrow, but am tempted to just stay here another day if I can get the reservation what would I be penalized for missing my res at cp?...it looks like it's going to be full capacity there as it is opening day. I have to assume the reservation system turned a lot of people off...I know the times/ days I wanted were unavailable, so I got what was, then what I wanted became available, but I couldn't get them, because I couldn't cancel the ones I had efficiently Its also hard ask to drive 6+ hours one way for 8 hours in the park...less with weather...leaving at 7 just felt dumb...add to that no movies or anything to do to kill the remainder of the evening, of course that has nothing to do with the park, but as a result of coming to the park, I did a lot of thumb twiddling yesterday. It's also 100+ degrees out...not remotely pleasant to begin with, and with no shows or indoor anything, when the rides all go down for weather I'm not sure what we're expected to do other than leave. I'm not complaining. I'm going back over there in an hour or so. But I'm also slightly warped in the head and feel being on rollercoasters is the only time I wouldn't rather just be dead...and even at that I almost bailed yesterday. I've no clue how a normie would fare, but from the looks of yesterday.... The Hanks burrito was awesome, really, but dont grab a walk on on Banshee immediately after.
  7. Banshee is definitely rougher than last year at haunt...could be temp...could be half full trains...could be a small earthquake that only happens when I ride Banshee...I dunno.
  8. Last year there was some stone temple pilots...pretty great if you're not familiar...dont recall any of the others but I do remember digging some stuff I'd not heard before as well...that doesn't happen as often as it used to, but that's a whole other topic.
  9. Zoe says you guys are just discriminating against felines...I'm supposed to call the aspca in the morning...
  10. Mr Helbig, My cat really wants to ride Orion...I told her they would not allow such a thing...she became indignant and said that there are no signs anywhere in the park prohibiting cats from riding the roller coasters...while I realise she's being unreasonable, she's not wrong...what should I tell her...I'm leaving for the park in 26 hours and she keeps glaring at me...
  11. Now go away....or I shall taunt you a SECOND TIME!
  12. Someone doesn't get money python quotes
  13. I often see people arguing who agree with each other but dont like the other's phrasing/tone/facial expression....when someone starts arguing that they agree with me I just laugh and walk away.
  14. Umm...disney CEO ED Chapek?....you mean BOB Chapek?...I know nothing of this writer, but that's pretty bad...I wouldn't trust anything else said in an article that misnames the CEO of Disney
  15. Ozzy did "no more tours" in 1992...lol He is currently not performing the scheduled dates of the "no more tours II" tour...I think he might mean it this time.
  16. According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model (PWBM), reopening states will result in an additional 233,000 deaths from the virus — even if states don’t reopen at all and with social distancing rules in place. This sentence is gibberish.
  17. You know that the day they reopen the parks, Yellowstone will pop, right?
  18. Well...its a little late, but the knotts announcement is a reasonable response...let's see how it goes chainwide
