  1. I'm going to go today and I'm bringing my camera. I havn't used it in the park yet so I can't wait!
  2. No way it is going anywhere. With Spirit Song and Hanity the park will not even think of the possibility of sending it on its way.
  3. Wow, let's complain about everything now a days. If I had a prosthetic limb I would make it my responsibility to read the rider safety guide at every ride entrance before getting in a long line. I stand by the upper management on this one.
  4. There should be no problems at all as long as the customer keeps a copy of their receipt. If they do then any problem can be easily fixed. I always get a receipt for everything just in case. To jcgoble3, upgrading is an easy process and as long as your current pass works, then your platinum should be fine once upgraded. Just ask the admissions associate to check the pass after it is upgraded and ask for a receipt.
  5. Either get one of those draw string bags and hope that no one takes anything. (I have never gotten anything stolen but have seen a lot of people come up into Guest Services asking if a bag was turned in because it wasn't there when they got back to the station). My favorite thing are my shorts that have a pair of zipper pockets. I feel completely safe putting everything in there and don't have to worry about it during my ride.
  6. One thing I love about the map is the location of Flight Deck. They removed it from the bottom corner and more over to where SOB actually is. It was very annoying when working a concert over at Timberwolf and having people trying to walk through the gates without a ticket because they were just trying to get to Flight Deck. Now it is clearly marked over next to Thunder Alley. I think it looks really nice and for some reason WindSeeker just sticks out and looks very inviting.
  7. Get the attention it deserves. I love that area of the park. It just has a fun feeling and now it is going to look even better.
  8. Head for my baby Flight Deck of course! Oh my the pretzel loop. Only one I have been on is Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFGAdv and everytime it came to the pretzel loop I felt scared. The enormous pressure on your body is a weird feeling. It is fun but always something that kind of freaks me out a little. Plus the loading is always so slow that you sit in the final break run hanging there and your neck starts to hurt a little. Where as on the Vekoma's the final break run is in the laying down position and a little more comfortable. That is if you are not claustrophobic.
  9. I always remember being too afraid to try the tallest of these 4 slides. So I knew it was going to be torn down before the next season so I hiked all the way to the top, and screamed all the way down. I was so brave as a kid. Thanks for posting!
  10. Ahh, gotcha. Going to be very crowded back that way this year! Thanks! RD Probably part of the reason they re did the walking surface back there.
  11. Dude I havn't been on here in forever, what's crackin

  12. wow It's been forever

  13. After not posting for what feels like about a year, this is very nice to come back to. I'm actually proud of KI! What is this feeling coming about me! I take a ride on The Crypt about everytime I visit the park because the line is almost always short, it's indoors, and I actually find it entertaining. Yes, the indoor ferris wheel holds a place in my heart. Excited to see what the outcome is on opening day. And since I am no longer working at the park I will actually be able to enjoy an opening day again!!
  14. Rode it plenty of times back when it was Superman and was my number one coaster for quite some time (as you can tell by my coasterfanatics username in my coaster count banner). The airtime on that thing is absolutely amazing.
  15. You dislike the ink because it stays on longer? It's impossible to make everyone happy I suppose. Hopefully the ink will grow on you?
  16. The new ink is a huge plus for guests! But for us employees it is a little harder to get off. The first day we got it I went in to wash my hands probably 5 minutes after I got it and it would not come off. The stamp did not come off all the way until the next morning when I scrubbed it off in the shower. I love the colors also because you can see it clearly on all skin types. It is making our job easier but involves a lot more cleaning on our part. Glad some of you appreciate it!!
  17. Where are you getting your information? Were you at the ticket windows all day on the 5th? And half the park was not down. And if you were to go read the signs on the sales building the park offers a Pay Once Visit Twice ticket for the exact same price as a One Day Ticket.
  18. Totally saw her yesterday walking into the front gate. I kinda paused for a second then figured they were getting married.
  19. It was a very difficult time last night and we did everything we could to please the guests. During the time when all of the power was out and through all of the chaos we had an associate go out of his way and find a pump to help inflate a war veteran's wheel chair. You make it seem like all of the employees are out to get the guests when we are just trying to do are job which is to appeal to all of the guests needs which we did to the best of our abilities during the situation.
  20. I was on the blue racer the other day and sat in the same seat for 4 rides in a row and won each one. But that was just one time.
  21. They did the breakfast last year also but obviously with different characters. I never saw big crowds entering but I did see some people go in and remember selling a few tickets to the breakfast. I'm sure it would be a fun thing to do with children or even for the whole family. Obviously it is nothing like Disney (sorry...huge Disney fan here ) But for a Cedar Fair park to do something like this is pretty cool. Plus I love the view from up in the restaurant and I am sure on a bright and sunny day those fountains would really enhance your experience.
  22. I love Flight Deck just how it is. I really wish it would receive some TLC though such as some PAINT please!? But if anything were going to be added or changed I would love to see a new style train. Maybe something like this? Flight Deck is a pretty intense suspended coaster and I am not sure how these trains hold up but I would love to something exciting like this added to such a great family attraction!
  23. Dude I totally forgot you worked in Admissions!! You probably know who I am. I'm Hayes, the supervisor that just recently got promoted? This isn't Matt L is it?

  24. According to several press articles, Expedition GeForce in the German Holiday Park stalled today at a height of 20 meters. There were a few minor injuries and no serious injuries were reported. I think this would be terrifying if this happened to me but I don't think it would stop me from riding coasters. It was the fourth car on the train. Here are some pictures.
  25. haha I'm glad someone here actually knows what it is!! I'm taking it down now because I am replacing it with my ride count for this year thought but it may be back lol
