Magenta Lizard Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 From the brake-run of DB, I even saw a pair of women out in the field playing yesterday about five minutes until closing. So not only were the boards out, the beanbags too. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pagoda Gift Shop Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I heard from someone who went to the park tonight that there was a lengthy security checkpoint line before being able to get in. Have they had these random checks on any other dates so far this year? From what I heard, it was a slow moving line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 There have. And that's not likely to change. Unless it becomes an everyday thing. Terp -- who worries. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Cedar Point was also doing security checkpoints Wednesday. The line at the resort gate reportedly lasted 20 minutes; I had no wait at the marina gate a few minutes after 9:00am. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Given recent events, I'd expect far more, and far more intrusive, security in every aspect of public (and private) life for the foreseeable future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line at the resort gate reportedly lasted 20 minutes; I had no wait at the marina gate a few minutes after 9:00am. That's really strange. Not one checkpoint when I went up last weekend. Neither day. CF security checks seem to be VERY random 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stashua123 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Which is just how they should be. Though it's a bit intrusive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I'm fine with random. It's the "properly staffed" aspect that I'm looking for. There should be as many "lanes" for going through a security checkpoint as there are at the ticket gate in my opinion. Anything less than that creates a bottleneck. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco2000 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 ^Yesterday when I arrived, there were more "lanes" going through the checkpoint than there were at the "ticket gate". And by "ticket gate", I am not sure if you mean the place where you can actually purchase a ticket or the entrance where they scan such ticket or pass but in any case those were less staffed than the checkpoint. My line to get my pass scanned was near as long as the security checkpoint. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid blue background and "welcome to Windows 10" Sent from my Pip-Boy 3000 via Tapatalk I wish you could have! Windows 10 has been the biggest PITA from Microsoft I have ever had to deal with whennit comes to an OS and A/V integration and control. We are having to upgrade (yes, going backnto 7 is an upgrade)all of the machines running 10. And the "forced" updates from Microsoft are an entirely different battle. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piccolo Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 In terms of the security check points. Last time I encountered one at KI, about two weeks ago, I asked the officer (can't remember his name for the life of me) if these were to become normal and he told me that CF is making all parks, at least one day per week, run security checks for the day. The day that is chosen is random and by CF themselves, not the individual parks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 10 has been the biggest PITA from Microsoft I have ever had to deal with whennit comes to an OS and A/V integration and control. I didn't know Microsoft was in the business of making Greek food. Oh, wait... I'm fairly indifferent on Windows 10 (although I do think it is better than 8), but this isn't the first time this thing has happened for the park. There were stretches of time that the FUN TV's for Racer and Bat just showed a colorful Windows 10 login screen last season. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 ^^ If they're doing security checks more often, hopefully they find a way to reduce the wait time. Breakers guests won't be happy this summer if they end up spending half of their Early Entry time waiting to be wanded at the Resorts gate. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I do wish they would have some consistency on checking. I came in the other morning, got out the things that have metal (cellphone wallet and coin purse) because that is typically all they care about. It's a pain to take out all the various other things I have in my cargo pockets then repack them. I sat my things in the basket, and the guard said "put everything from your pockets in the basket." I told him that was all the metal things, is that enough? He just coldly said "put everything in the basket." Like Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs. So I did. After I was wanded I turned and he was actually unzipping my tiny coin purse to check for weapons. Later the same day when it was busier, I had my wallet and coin purse in my hand, and was encouraged to keep it while I was wanded. He passed it down my front. The wand beeped when it got to the metal buttons/snap on my cargo pocket. I started to explain it was the buttons, and turn around like usual, and he just cut me off with "you can go." The third time I went through that day, it was like I'm used to. Metal stuff in my hand, wand front and back, interested in the metal snap/buttons. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautyandtheBeast Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 After we got done with a morning event elsewhere, we ventured out to hit up the preview of Soak City. I was rather hesitant due to the nature of the drop slide and the cold, but it was a lot of fun. Obviously, going to a water park when it is under 60 degrees is an interesting experience, but once you got in the water it really wasn't too bad. The wind would make you cold, but outside of that, things were nice. The weather definitely helped the crowd over there. I don't think we had to wait for a single slide, though that probably explains why they shut it down at 1:30. After that we went over to the dry side and it was packed! Took us 45 minutes or more to get a burrito at the burrito shack place. The other food lines were insane as well, so I see that kink still hasn't gotten worked out yet. All in all, I would say tropical plunge is an excellent edition to Soak City. The tube slides, especially the steep one, are a lot of fun, and it was neat seeing the added surprise inside. Now I just hope the next addition to that side of the park is a water coaster. Does anyone know if they will be giving out First Slider shirts next weekend for the official opening? I originally just assumed that was for coasters, but then I saw someone earlier this season have one from last year's snoopy gliders or whatever, so I wasn't sure. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
