I will say walking The Beast every morning would probably not be very fun especially when it gets snowy and below freezing. I feel like that would be a nightmare for the maintenance people.

I get why people want to say they want to keep Cedar Point king. But I don’t think they would remove a whole ride unless the maintenance was just so much money. If you look at ride stats it gave on average less than a million ride a year which is awful capacity for a park that big.

I would bet they are not demoing jukebox could we see a ride go over the midway somehow?

Didn't they just refurbish or paint the cars recently?

I feel like that can’t go in the area of major capital investment if it’s just one flat like sol spin. Delirium I feel like is massive if feels like a big investment from someone that isn’t too versed in the price of things. Adventure port also felt like a big investment due to the whole retheming and everything that took place over there. However if they are going to add some random flat ride I don’t know if they could necessarily put it on that list. It just wouldn’t live up to all the other stuff on that list.

At least it destroys all of our hopes and dreams now instead of being utterly destroyed after a year of anticipation. The bars are really a corporate thing not really his. I don’t think he necessarily wanted them but was more of told to put them there.

I just think this probably pushes up back to probably 2028-2029 for a major thrill coaster. I think we will start to see additions to parks biannually possibly due to there being so many parks which really sucks due to the fact a lot of our rides are coming to a pretty old age. I think we really need a coaster to replace Vortex soon or else we will lose another major coaster like Vortex and not get a replacement for it. To clarify I mean The Vortex spot will be replaced but they will remove another coaster at the same time.

I feel like the overall park experience is more well rounded and important house keeping updates were made that isn’t noticed by people as much.

Not going to lie I am super devastated waking up to this news this morning. I guess we always have 2027. I guess it does help stop the anticipation for getting something nice in 2026 which will help to curve speculation.

I will say it was never removed because it was never offered in the first place. Not the”bait and switch”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What is everyone’s take on this? Theoretically if fastlane is offered should they give it to season Fast Lane pass holders and honor it or should they not honor it. I will say when purchasing it you never really thought you were getting it for Winterfest. I feel like it would be a nice bonus perk, but not something that would make me very upset if it was not honored. I don’t think the park has a duty to give it to someone cause it is not like it is hidden that it isn’t valid for Winterfest.

What’s everyone looking forward to the most for this Winterfest?

Is there still a stage over there? Have not been over there in a while.

Interesting they would remove it now and not later in the season. Almost seems like they plan to do something next year in that space and plan to begin work soon, or it could have needed a part as well and they didn't to shell out the money for just a year or so of operation.

This may be controversial, but I feel like a front gate coaster does not make sense for the park. I feel like the Eiffel Tower is our front gate coaster because it is the icon when you are pulling up the park. Other parks like Cedar Point and Carowinds do not have such a structure like the Eiffel Tower that is visible from all around so a front gate coaster makes sense for them. But I feel like pulling up and seeing the Eiffel Tower is so iconic for the park and would not want to see that change.
