https://qr1.be/SX1M 2024 park map got released today.

The only merge points that I remember are Millenium Force, Steel Vengeance, and GateKeeper right? Am I missing any?

From the calendar it shows 6pm-12am starting Friday September 20th. Could that possibly be the start of Halloween Haunt? If so that’s a week earlier than usual and I’m all for it if that’s the case.

From what I understand, Planet Snoopy will open with the park but Camp Snoopy won’t open until late spring. Camp Snoopy is only that back section of the area. It sounds like the new sign is permanent. I feel like they would have removed them when they took the sign out if they were but we’ll see.

Wow! The train looks amazing! I’m a little disappointed they left the concrete footers below the sign but oh well. Loving the new modern look to that area, it’s needed a refresh for quite some time!

Great line up this year! Glad to see Snoopy’s Soap Box Racers will be open on or before June 1st!

I wonder if that canceled project was the rumored hyper/giga.

Very sad to see that preview day is only 4:00-9:00. Also I just wanted to point out that if drones are back I would imagine the launch area is still in the old Vortex plot of land which would most likely mean no coaster there for 2025.

I honestly have no idea what it is lol. I am super excited to see what it is! It kind of looks like GateKeeper going through the keyholes but the palm trees wouldn’t make any sense. I have no clue.

I know it’s very unlikely but I would really like to see the return of in person announcements. It makes sense that there wasn’t any in person announcement for Camp Snoopy or Adventure Port since they are relatively small additions but whenever we get our next big coaster I would like to see them return. I really miss the level of excitement from those announcements.

I got the same message as well. Cedar Point released theirs the Friday after I got the message about a new app so we might see it release tomorrow.

I’m afraid of all the queues when it opens. It’s probably going to have a three hour regular line and an hour Fastlane line. I don’t know for sure if it would be the best option but maybe they could implement access passes that you can only enter then queue at a certain time. That may help with the lines.

You are correct. They have changed it on the app. I was able to get a picture before they changed. Here is the current and here is what it used to say.

Not necessarily. There is some confusion going on because the app states you only get access to TT2 once per visit with season long Fastlane but the website says unlimited access. We’ll have to wait and see which one is correct.

Weirdly enough, the app states that all season Fastlane plus only gets you one ride on TT2 per visit. It shows the starting price for FLP is also $115 and not $99 which is correct because when you click on dates to buy it the lowest price is $115. Does anyone know if you purchase a Fastlane it will be available for you to redeem any time of that day you selected? So let’s say I purchase a Fastlane and I don’t get to the park until 3pm, can I still redeem it or will someone have taken it by then?

If they’re keeping the name I hope they at least put some work into painting it and maybe adding a bandana and a beagle scout hat to snoopy so it fits the theme more of the surrounding area.

I’ve always liked the idea of Action Zone being rethemed to a haunted area to tie in with Banshee and The Bat. What if Drop Tower was renamed to Scream Zone to pay homage to Drop Zone and also fitting the new theme at the same time.

At least they didn’t go with Woodstock Express 2.

Although it will take some time to get familier with the new names, they picked out some great names! Honestly, that whole back area needed a refresh and this is exactly what it needed.

According to the updated Cedar Point and Carowinds app’s, it seems like they will continue to offer single use Fastlane’s at those parks. I imagine when we see our app update soon it will show single use Fastlane as well. Does anyone know how much they charged last year?

I would really like to see Orion’s soundtrack return in the station for 2024. I heard it early on in the season but sometime in the summer it went away. Just like Millenium Force, Orion’s soundtrack in the station really sets the mood for the ride and I just wish it would play more often. I could also throw in the Banshee fog machine in this discussion. I haven’t seen it run in a long time. Man I miss that thing.

It was confirmed by Holiday World in their podcast.

Vekoma has a deal with Holiday World that they would be the first to open up a family Vekoma boomerang in the US. That’s why KI is taking their time because they can’t open SSBR until Good Gravy opens.

Remember early in the 2023 season when the Planet Snoopy webcam was randomly switched to Camp Snoopy? I guess we should have seen it coming lol.
