  1. Ha, read my Cedar Point trip report about the Millennium Forceless comment. You definitely feel that ride in certain circumstances.
  2. So just when I think we are onto something with the numbers they throw a curveball the next day. Hmm.
  3. 34 x 3 = 102 Three train coaster? I have no idea but today's entry has been the most interesting so far.
  4. We were thinking about doing a weekend winter trip as well.
  5. This is a tough one for me. After finally getting to ride Voyage I think it and Maverick are tied for my favorite coaster. I simply can't put one over the other. I think I just like crazy intense rides that throw you all over the place. It doesn't have to be a specific type.
  6. As long as I don't see pictures of the building on fire I'm going to assume the best and that everyone is fine along with the ride.
  7. I've seen some pictures of the trucks on facebook.
  8. 50 seems a bit steep for each person. We were going to stay there hopefully I can find a decent discount or go during a slow time. Also back to Cedar Point I have never seen so many rides stopped for people pulling out cell phones. What's the deal people? Keep your phones put away. We also saw some guy at Cedar Downs flipping out. I over heard him tell the ride attendant that if he did not remove the group of kids he was point at that he would go get security himself to have it taken care of. I have no idea what happened but dude was livid. It delayed the ride by ten minutes for us. Security ended up coming and removing one of the kids.
  9. Ill have to read it. I've been wanting to go there for a long time but the wife doesn't like water parks, well at least until now she loved the indoor water park so she wants to try others. Any idea how much it is just to buy a day pass?
  10. Our Magisto movie. Check out @Lance2680's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Lance2680/status/473211515953479681
  11. If you or any one on here sees me feel free to introduce yourself. I'm easy to spot for the most part. It won't do anything but I'm going to e-mail Sandcastle about the negative experience I thought it would be much better than it was. We are looking into staying at Kalahari next time to try out their waterpark. We like to break up the day with a trip back to the room and a swim.
  12. Yeah we skipped a 15 minute wait for Pipe Scream with FL. It was fun. We could have done the same with the flyers but we didn't. That area is nice with the improvements.
  13. I usually read the new entry right around when I wake up. I really have no guess as to what's going on yet so I haven't been posting much.
  14. It had been right at 3 years since the wife and I made it up to Cedar Point after going nearly every year. We left at 4:00 a.m. from Northern Kentucky and arrived at about 8:15 a.m. we sunscreened up and headed to the marina gate and waited for the Millennium Walkback. We were led back to MF right at 8:50 a.m. they took our photo as a group and sent us on our way to be on the first train of the day. We actually ended up being on the second train as we opted for the front seat. (We also did the Walkback and waited for front seat today as well) For those of you who like to refer to the ride as Millennium Forceless ride it once with a stained muscle in your back, I promise you'll feel some forces. It actually hurt quite a bit and I was fearful of the rest of the day. We walked around the park and hit various rides for the first hour until the rest opened up. We got our first ride ever on Gatekeeper. We ended up doing 4 total for the day. I think this ride is a bit under rated especially the back left seats. We had quite a bit of fun on it. The seats we comfortable and we loved the whip you get in the back. The ride is beautiful and I'm glad they did build this ride where they did. It makes that section of the park a lot more desirable. We finished out day in that area because of this. When 10:00 a.m. hit we went to TTD the line quickly hit a two hour wait. I had noticed the parking lot had a a decent amount a little before but the bus parking was completely full so when I saw the line get big that quick I decided to buy us Fast Lane plus passes. This was the first time I had ever used FL anywhere. Fast Lane alone made our trip awesome. We skipped numerous hour+ waits and were able to take our time and do what we want. They were $80 each. It was nice to be on the other side of the fence and the grass was definitely greener. At 1:00 p.m. we went to check in at Sandcastle Suites. I liked that the room was clean and close to the park with shuttle service. That however is as far as I can go with what I liked about it. The bed was pretty uncomfortable and the place had a pretty bad smell to it. We went to the pool to swim and use the hot tub to give my back some relief. We got as far as putting our feet in the water and deciding to leave. The water was nasty with a terrible odor. We took up the offer we recieved of ten dollar entry to Castaways Bay. Both the wife and I loved the little waterpark she wants to stay there next time which we may do. At 4:00 p.m. we headed back to the park and blasted through the entire park with our awesome FL passes. We indulged in some funnel cake and Pinks both awesome. I won the wife a Finn from Adventure time and we rode the smaller rides near the front of the park. Some of the rides in that area were down due to higher winds at the end of the night but that's okay by me we had rode them earlier. Our count for Saturday: Gatekeeper 4x TTD 1 MF 2x Maverick 3x Gemini 1 Pipe Scream 1 Raptor 2x WindSeeker 1 Magnum 1 Skyhawk 2x Mantis 1 Power Tower 4x Maxair 1 We also did most all of the flats. Today we went in for an hour and rode a few things before heading out to head home. We got two more rides and Gatekeeper. We are now home and due to my back I can hardly move. I highly recommend Fast Lane if it's a crowded day and you have limited time, well worth the money. Millennium Walkback Pulling up to the park. Our anniversary is Tuesday. It was closed by the time we got there. We were sad. She got the chili dog I got the Monster Dog.
  15. We had a great trip. Saturday was pretty crowded but Fast Lane cures all. Ill write a trip report at some point.
  16. "Intafail" as you called it produces the most thrilling rides and regularly has their rides rated very high. Id rather Intamin push the envelope and have some downtime than for a park to put in a mediocre ride that's a people eater.
  17. They extended the offer at Kings Island.
  18. Are you on mobile or a computer? I can't bring it up to screen shot from my phone but after it is in the cart somewhere the disclaimer pops up. I've read it three or four times the last month or so. As recently as yesterday. It's definitely on the page somewhere or at least it was. They have made changes to the site. You can now buy on mobile even though at the bottom of the full site page for Fast Lane it says you can't.
  19. If they get mad it should be due to their inability to read.
