It looks like a database backup was restored. I'm posting this topic again since it was apparently lost.

Cedar Point has opened registration for this year's Winter Chill-Out event. Tickets cost $45, and proceeds go directly to Give Kids The World. No coaster club membership is required. The date this year is Saturday, February 21. (Weather date February 28.)

Details: https://www.cedarpoi...ll-Out?mobile=0

Is anyone from here going? Participants must choose one of four start times; post your chosen time here if you want to coordinate with other KICentral members. (The latest tour sold out quickly; early times should have plenty of availability.)

Note that tickets must be purchased on a desktop computer. Mobile devices are specifically excluded, even though the calendar says 2015.

I said this in the original thread... I am going but I have not yet bought the tickets.

far to cold to be outside if you ask me

Like I said before everything disappeared, I wish I could go but Science Olympiad Regionals are the same day.

But of course the bad weather date works for me.

I'd love to go, sadly I won't be able to.

Calling ohiocolts...

Just bought the tickets to the 9:15 AM session. I am excited!

Im going to the 9:15! So excited!

going with group 1, anyone else?

Yes. There will be other people in Group 1.

Terp, helpin'.

Cool!

Does anyone have any Hotel suggestions for the Cedar Point Winter Chill Out? We are looking at the Best Western Plus.

Thanks in advance!

The places I stay close for the winter.

I'm staying at the Beat Western near by

To those driving up, stay safe and leave plenty of travel time! It looks like most of Ohio will see snow tonight and through the day tomorrow.

I had considered buying a ticket for the 8:30am tour and getting back to Columbus by early evening for my prior commitment. That would not have been a good idea with this forecast.

I have a feeling they may cancel it for tomorrow and reschedule it for next Saturday.

^ It's still a go according to Tony Clark via Twitter. (https://twitter.com/tonyclarkcp) He said that a weather postponement would be announced by 5pm Thursday.

It looks like northern Ohio will escape the worst of the snow. Hopefully those attending from elsewhere in Ohio are headed up this evening, ahead of the storm.

Wonder what the 'R' means...

Rougarou?

Or is it just a mistake?

Dr. FReud said there are no accidents.

Word on the street is that it was announced Maverick will be getting the soft OSTR straps (like I305 has). Can anyone that was there confirm that?

Our sister park up in Sandusky, Cedar Point announced a great change to Maverick today! Do you think this will... http://t.co/OoiVs52ZYX

Great Ohio CC posted the following:

It's 2pm and we're now allowed to talk about everything we learned about today.
1. Turnpike Cars are leaving.
2. Calypso is moving to the left of Giant Wheel
3. Sir Rub a Dub's Tubs is leaving.
4. Gazebo food stand is leaving
5. Jr Dodgem is moving to the lake side of Planet Snoopy where the Gazebo food stand was.
6. Dodgem is moving to the spot where Sir Rub a Dub's Tubs and Jr Dodgem was.
The building formarly occupied by Earthquake and Berenstain Bear country will be the new location of Sweet Treats (may be remembering the name wrong)
7. The lake side entrance of Breakers is getting a make over that includes a fire pits on either side of the entrance.
8. Today's event raised $27,000 for Give Kids the World.
9. Media Day is the Friday before opening day: 5am-10am is Media Only and a select number of lucky people. It is not open to all enthusiasts, 5pm-7pm is the First Rider auction winners, 7pm to 10pm is a season passholder preview.
10. Maverick is getting new restraints like the ones on Intimidator 305.
11. There's probably more I'm not remembering. I had to do this all from memory.

That's a decent size clearing over by the former Good Times Theatre.

Did anyone else see that photo after the slide that said "the BIG one"....? (I know someone did Terpy)

I was also reading that they had a "slip up" in a slide show presentation where Outlaw Run was shown and they clicked past it real quick saying they didn't know how that got in there.

^ Where you in the 9:15 session?

No, doing reading on other sites.

Ah. I am just wondering if that was a part of that and they were just teasing us...

Maverick is getting new restraints? Good news indeed!

For me, the current setup made a great coaster unbearable by the second ride.

I absolutely love Maverick as is but these new restraints will make it that much better. I am so glad they are making this change.

Holy **** that's a lot of information.

Sad about Turnpike Cars leaving, but I'm very happy Dodgems is staying, since those are so rare in this country.
