XjoshhyX Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Just wanted to get this topic going on here. Is anyone going to be going to this? Myself and a few friends got a spot in the park, although on concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterboysfne Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I will be there... I won a grassy area spot thankfully! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I got nothing. Stupid lottery. Yes I'm bitter. Have fun though. We decided to take our trip May 31 instead since we didn't get selected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The lottery only applies if you are camping. You don't have to be selected if you are staying in a hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APE Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I know this and its non issue now as the lottery has long passed. Only reason I was going was to actually camp in the park. Now ill take my visit at a different time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XjoshhyX Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Just to bring this topic back up, the information was sent out today with all of your guidelines to the campout! If you're going I can't wait to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gplez90 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Was it specified that you have to buy two tickets if you do not have a pass? I have a guest who doesnt have a pass Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Registered attendees and their guests (1 for noncampers, up to 3 for campers) get a complimentary admission ticket for each day. I registered, but I didn't get a campsite. I still don't know whether I will attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XjoshhyX Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Got a campsite, pretty excited to get to go to the park for free for 2 days. Sucks I got a site on the concrete though. haha. Just means i'm gonna use that extra cash on a fast pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTheater Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 https://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/489071466399666177 This Friday most of Frontiertown will close at 8pm with the exception of Skyhawk and Mine Ride. They will close at 10pm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm still not sure about this event. It looks like a decent hotel would be ~$100 after tax tomorrow night, which is hard to justify for ERT for one person. The weather looks perfect, though, and night marathons (that are open to the public) at CP don't happen very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malem Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Not much sleeping going on in the tents, I take it? Some campers were apparently no-shows; they invited a group of us non-campers to go buy a tent at Walmart and pitch it right then. We didn't take them up on it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 WalMart? Nowhere else? WalMart tent. The mind...boggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 It's about the only place open in Dusky at that point unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalefan Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 They have a Meijer's on the same street as Walmart. I wonder if they had a deal going with Walmart? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 The tent I've used to camp near Holiday World the past couple of years came from Walmart for $25. Actually a decent tent for how basic it is. Had no problems with it until last October, when it leaked in the rain, but that's my fault for not performing maintenance on it, specifically applying seam sealer. If I go to this next year and don't get selected to camp, I'll make sure to toss my tent in the trunk of my car just in case there are no-shows and they make that offer again.

malem Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 I'm pretty sure that Walmart was just the first store that came to mind for camping supplies after midnight. They had extra space, so they were inviting some non-campers to camp out if they had (or could get) the gear. (To be clear, this wasn't publicized or announced.)The event was a lot of fun. The park was very generous with complimentary admission for non-passholders, and attendees enjoyed free meals and exclusive access to Frontier Town after 8:00pm. Walking through silent midways packed with tents was a sight to behold.I hope to attend next year (assuming they do it again) and actually camp out in the park. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 May go in the future for the small surprises they had here and there. Aside from that, I wish I could sleep in controls on platform for Corkscrew again, or downstairs next to the hum of the Kaiser compressor like I used to do for early ERT days, non parking days, or on very very long O/C days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
