Ride On_17

I've wondered the same thing. It's probably pretty simple but it would be greatly appreciated if it was explained how to do this.

You know it's the off season when it's been 4 months since your Facebook friends and Twitter followers have seen your "I'm at Cedar Point" posts and tweets.

You're torturing us with these pictures and trip reports! Haha, can it be summer yet?

Nice report! And as a single child, I can't even imagine having 5 siblings, let alone 1! Sounds like you and your family had a great trip.

Awesome pictures! Sounds like you had a great time.

I wish it was a first come, first serve basis for who got in. I'm sure there are going to be so many people trying to enter. Sure, the lottery system makes it more fair but it makes chances of getting in a lot slimmer. I really hope I get in.

I completely agree since this is talking about KI. What I find funny is that if this was about CP, a lot of people would be like "Tear down the trees! Build a new coaster!" Whereas is looks like many KI fans truly care about park aesthetics and the whole environment, CP fans are just crazy for the next big coaster. Not always the case, but I see this more often than not. Just an interesting observation.

Back to the Cedar Point topic, in case you haven't heard it yet, I'd highly recommend checking out Tony's recent podcast. In it he addresses many things, including the "Five Year Plan." He sounds genuinely exciting about what's coming and it sounds like some major additions will be added. Both within the next 2-3 years and as well for CP's 150th anniversary in 2019.

You won't be disappointed.

Philadelphia based restaurant coming to the Point, famous for their CrabFries: http://fox8.com/2014/01/30/cedar-point-makeover-new-rides-food-general-manager/ http://chickiesandpetes.com/ I actually tried Chickie's and Pete's last summer in Ocean City, NJ and let me tell you, the Crabfries are amazing. They may sound strange, but they're so delicious. The fries are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and are covered in an Old Bay-like seasoning. They also come with a delicious dip. I could have them everyday if I could, that's how much I love them. Think this could be the new restaurant going along the Gemini Midway?

Well, it's pretty much confirmed now that this will be a Lighthouse Point expansion. Check out this article, and pay special attention to the footnote at the bottom of the page and the middle image: http://kdfansite.com/2014/01/kings-dominion-camp-wilderness-expansion/ Will Cedar Fair ever have an addition that doesn't get leaked? Haha they don't have a very good track record with non-leaked projects.

Man, getting kissed for riding a roller coaster? I better start hanging out with your friends. I'd be one lucky guy.

^That would be really nice. Who knows if it will happen in 2015, let alone if it will ever happen, but it sure would be great.

I actually like Dippin' Dots. I think they're good. And everyone better make sure to believe whatever the Dippin' Dot guy says. He knows what he's talking about.

You know it's the off season when you go through all your old park pictures pretending it's warm and sunny instead of snowy and freezing wind chills.

Ok, this is awesome. I can't wait for these events, especially the camping.

Ah, my bad. I just googled for awards Cedar Point received to be sure I included some good ones and that was listed as one of them. Oops, I just never caught that. EDIT: This website states that it is one of the top five parks in the world to receive best Halloween event and best Kids Area. I should have been more clear in my essay. (5th paragraph: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20130909/BLOGS03/130909837/-1/blogs03)

I am humbled and honored that CPfansite (in particular our own chugh43) enjoyed the persuasive essay I wrote for my English class so much that it was posted by the site. Titles "Cedar Point, the Best of the Best" it is why Cedar Point is the best amusement park in the world. Thank you for this; it really means a lot. I'm glad to be around a community of people who I can share my love of roller coasters with. If you haven't already read the essay, you can check it out here: http://cpfansite.com/2014/01/cedar-point-the-best-of-the-best/

When you would drive from 4 hours away just to do exactly the same thing. I'd be more likely to do this with CP instead since it's only an hour and a half, but still... Coaster enthusiasts are crazy. In a good way. And welcome to KIC!

Yes, definitely. We'll have to make a decision soon. I just hope it's a good one.

Maybe I should get her to make a KIC account, have her read this thread, and have her feel sorry for me.

"Pwetty Pwease, mommy!" Haha I'll try my best. Believe me, my mom would love to go too. I'm just not sure if we'll be able to.

This is awesome! I think this will only result in great things, both for CC and for KIC. Only a $9 membership is great, too.

New from last year: You DO NOT have to be a member of PointBuzz in order to attend. Also, there is no capacity restriction. I just removed this info from my original post.
