It shouldnt be about knowing who donated..... Did CP, Canada's Wonderland, and Mr Red respond yet?

I know you don't hate it but a lot of people are writing about it. I would say as a medical professional it is working. I have had to talk to people, clients, and coworkers about ALS. Not everyone will read about it and will instead ask people in medical fields Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I dont get the hate from the Ice Bucket Challenge. Some people cant afford to donate money to an organization. These people dont run out and buy 6 bags of ice as stated in that article. Most empty an ice tray into a bucket. Do the deed, promote ALS awareness, and then challenge their friends. It would be different if the ALS Association didnt support them. http://www.alsa.org/ Right on the front page a link to this http://www.alsa.org/fight-als/ice-bucket-challenge.html With "badges" to put on Facebook or Twitter that states "I have completed the Ice Bucket Challenge. http://www.alsa.org/news/media/press-releases/ice-bucket-challenge-082014.html 31.5 Million dollars donated in 1 month. 600,000 new donors. It sounds like in 1 month they were able to get almost 2 years worth of "normal" funding. (1.9 x 12 =24 x 2 = 48 Million dollars). If only 1 percent of the new donors continue to keep donating, that is 6000 new donors. You couldnt get 6000 people to sign up to donate if you put an ALS rep in every Cedar Fair park and asked people to sign up. I think these numbers are huge. Research is expensive. Maybe a new cause starts up next year. For something to become viral it has to be unique and it has to be organic. This started very organic. 1 person, challenging a few people. It blossomed into something really really cool. And yes, maybe next year we are not talking about ALS, maybe we are talking about Autism, maybe we are talking about MS, maybe we are talking about, prostate cancer, etc.

I think for something to go viral, it has to be unique. If donations drop again next year for ALS, that would unfortunate, but one good year can really help promote research to last a few years. I have many friends participating in this. Many who I know never knew or even thought of ALS before this challenge.

wow if you cant even afford to file bankruptcy...

This is about giving our renewing season passholders what they've been asking for: something for renewing since there is not a price break in the fall between new and renewal. We're also going to be giving our guests that renew their season pass before November 2 something else they've been asking for with an exclusive preview night before the park opens for the 2015 season. Boom, this is almost exactly what I posted. Just a way for the park to say "hey, thanks for being awesome. Continue to be awesome." I feel some on here would complain if the park gave you a $10 voucher to use on any food item by saying that it doesnt cover a full combo.....

You cant please everyone, so you gotta please yourself.... Seriously, I know it may be a very busy time in the FL queue on the Sundays, but it is free. Its a perk they dont have to offer. Are we that jaded as a group that its sometimes hard to see that something like this has to be seen in a negative light, instead of a slight positive? In the past what was a perk for renewing in the fall? Cheaper prices? Maybe CF as a company is attempting to do good to its customer base (while also ensuring people buy again for next year). As for the bring a friend cheap days. Yes they can be seen to pack the park. But on the flip side, its sort of nice to offer up a trip to KI for the cheap to a few friends. Maybe its age or whatever, but my friends/family and I dont mind the busy crowds on those days. We are not there to "ride as many times as humanely possible" but more there to enjoy the day. If we only get 1 ride on each ride, then thats new memories. Looking back at this season, I dont remember how many times I rode Banshee, Diamondback, Beast, or anything else. I do remember taking my neice on The Beast (and her terrified look), riding Banshee front row with my buddy, getting my mom on The Bat after almost 10 years of no coasters, watching my son's face light up when his car went down the hill on Peanuts 500, etc. I couldnt tell you how long I waited in a certain line, etc.

Hey Terp I never said it was ideal just thinking in what ifs.... Realistically I love the way it rides as it is. I feel like I'm safe but slightly out of control.... The train is nice the way it is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on where I am sitting and time of day. Usually the brighter it is, it feels slower, the darker it is the faster it feels. Maybe you had more weight in one ride? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well there is no where to walk under the station any more near The Bat. I feel a floor less would be neat but would the general pop feel it's significantly different from Banshee? However swinging out far with a floor less would be fun. Maybe add 1 floor less train and keep one "normal"? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Could they do something like in Jaws 3-D Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh. And now I just learned that I thought they did was wrong.... So at the time I thought the KI Gold Pass got you admission to all PP .... Am I misremembering? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I knew CP didn't I assumed fr some reason CW was a former PP and had Gold Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea I investigated after I posted. Didnt realize at first look that they didnt offer Gold Passes.

Everyone is clamoring for Oktoberfest to be reclaimed as an area. To do this, you would either need to take back land towards Action Zone or into the Coney mall area, right?

So CAN to US makes it $65... safe to assume thats about what we will be at for next year?

how similar were Wonderland/KI passes last year? I would assume that it will be the same way this year maybe?

Honest question. Are these missteps by a purposefully deceitful company running a bait and switch company with no regard for customers or are these missteps by a company who took on way too much and is still figuring its way around and up a very steep hill or are these missteps by a company that has no idea what its doing?

The park is packed today. Decent weather, weekend day, last minute crowds= long long waits. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Tbh it's not descript plywood covered in "blood" it could be from anywhere Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well it's still open, some people would say CFs plan to close it is not finished while others may point out that CF has not found a bidder yet either Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And for those of us with gold or platinum... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

When I bought mine I was told it was good as long as my pass was Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
