The Interpreter Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Or is this just a reference to the early morning ERT's with Platinum Passes: ....Other packages offer extra perks like shorter waiting times on rides.... Or is it yet another flub by The Sandusky Register? http://www.sanduskyregister.com/articles/2...ont/1157109.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 IF it is, I'd hope for pricing more like Dollywood's and less like Six Flags'. But I bet that hope would be in vain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ^^I'm still dreaming...it's too much technology for CF anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It would be possible since the rides are still set up for Speedway or whatever they called it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dvo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I don't think CP will ever do anything like that again. I think what they may be talking about is the VIP package, where you spend about $350 and basically go straight to the front of every line.

flightoffear1996 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 That is alot of money considering the tour is only 8 hours and you can't do rerides like the same ride back to back but just think about all the rides you would be able to get on. I am not sure but I also think you can't get the preium seats on the coasters like the front seat or very back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ^^Not quite sure on the re-rides...I haven't done a VIP since 07, but I know someone who did last year, and she didn't say anything about a re-rides restriction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarPointer Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 For $350, I would be pretty mad if they didn't allow rerides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 And you DO get to pick your seat, for crying out loud. You may be thinking of the QBot system at Six Flags, where you do NOT get to pick your seat (and yet some of the QBot seats ARE the best seats. like the last row on Mindbender at Six Flags over Georgia...Rolling Thunder at Great Adventure, on the other hand, is in the middle of the train!). Six Flags also offers VIP tours, and in fact offered them before Cedar Fair did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigellinus Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ^^Yeah, the Flash Pass for Kingda Ka are the crap trains...needless to say, I refuse to ride unless orange and blueberry are on the bench...also, GASM used to be for the middle train, but I didn't ride GASM at all last year.

The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Other places in some Six Flags parks, the QBot line joins the regular line at some point in the station, and you CAN pick your own seat...see, for example, Nitro and Superman: Ultimate Flight at Great Adventure.

goofywdw Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 ^Add Superman Ride of Steel at SFNE to that list. Man I miss that coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 And *I* miss the incredible ride that was once the Riverside Cyclone. What Gary Story's Six Flags did to that ride is nothing short of a shame. Dare-to-fly can complain about trim brakes until he is blue in the face, and probably will, but raising first drops like was done to Cyclone at Riverside and to Rattler at Fiesta Texas has a much more pronounced and permanent effect.

flightoffear1996 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I saw the rerides on the Cedar Point website. Unfortunately, re-rides are not permitted. Should you wish to ride an attration again, you must experience another attraction before returning I wasn't sure about the seat thing. I had a fast pass or something along the lines and they said to pick any seat but the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 If it was from Cedar Point, you probably had an exit pass...and yes, those are normally NOT good for the front seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
