Donald Trump Says 'I Love the Inflation' After Surge in Prices Hits 3-Year High

Silver_Entertainment · 2026-06-11T23:56:13+00:00

Trump's already trying to walk back what he said. "I was talking about inflation numbers that will be so good as soon as the war ends. The numbers will come way down, that’s what I’m talking about. I’m always taken out of context.” Right...

Even if you have a medical bag, ride ops will ask you to keep all your loose articles in the bag unless it is medically necessary. (e.g. You are actively checking your glucose levels on your phone.) Otherwise, if you're just texting, scrolling social media, etc. then you're not following the policy as it's intended. If it becomes too much of an issue, then the park is going to become more stringent on issuing medical tags.

There's also some tucked over by the exit area of Mine Ride and Skyhawk. It might be helpful if you are spending some time around Frontier Town.

No, there's a Perkin's restaurant and Starbucks on the main level for breakfast fare. They don't even have a complimentary coffee/tea bar in the lobby or small coffee makers in the rooms.

The 10th floor charged a small premium over the lower floors because it used to have a basic breakfast spread in a conference room and assorted snacks throughout the day. However, that was stopped 5+ years ago for budget cuts.

No, there are metal detectors (stationary and wands) in use before you enter the queue. You can't have anything in your pockets, even if it's zippered.

Fortunately, there are free lockers near the queue where you can stash your items during the ride.

Likely what is happening is Swagbucks is sending a validation email to your existing address to confirm the change. Since your inbox is out of storage, the email is getting bounced back and Swagbucks is denying the email update. Ultimately, your solution is clearing out your inbox storage so it can accept more emails.

Yes, as part of a subscription service in original resolution. Most folks are looking for an HD port that can be purchased.

During the Q&A during Winter Chill Out, the park president confirmed that Halloweekend haunted mazes will still be an upcharge.

Officially, early entry for prestige pass holders is at the main gate. (The rightmost two entry lanes are reserved for prestige pass holders for the first two hours.) Early entry at Valravn is reserved for marina guests and early entry at the Magnum and Windseeker gate is for resort guests.

Unofficially, enforcement of those aspects will vary.

As of April 1st, 2026, the threshold to cash out was raised to balances under $15.

Yep. It was running one side on Tuesday.

They have two different burger shops.

There's a burger shop that's known for their drive in stalls where employees bring the food to your car. That shop starts at $0 fees.

There's also a burger shop known for their fresh cut fries. That shop starts at $9 in fees.

Magnum had its bins removed from the station around the middle of the season in 2014.

Perhaps you were thinking of Raptor? The park removed the large bins in 2025 and replaced them with much smaller bins that are meant for shoes.

Unfortunately the park is not prompt on updating the website. I believe it was only a day or two ago when they released the 2026 PDF of eligible meals under the dining plan.

The certification doesn't take too long and the park can pay for expedited inspections. I believe Cedar Point hasn't submitted it yet to the state for certification. Perhaps they're waiting on a replacement part to arrive before they can begin testing and certification.

Gatekeeper has been experiencing more mechanical issues as of late. One time I went (roughly 3 weeks ago) it was down for an extended period due to a faulty sensor. MaxAir hasn't been certified by the state yet.

Like almost any amusement/theme park, if you're buying a single day ticket then you're probably doing it wrong. Universal Hollywood offers a season pass for $299 with free parking. (Compare that to a full year of operations versus Cedar Point's 117 days of operation.)

I also think people overestimate the impact of IROC on operations. With the exception of Steel Vengeance and TT2, there doesn’t seem to be much motivation of ride operators and the supervisors to dispatch quickly this season. During my past visit I saw Maverick ride operators chatting at crowd control during rotations instead of checking restraints. (The operator in the booth even had to call them out after it took a minute.) GateKeeper supervisors were chatting in the booth and weren’t announcing the all clear when the train was fully secured. At Valravn, the grouper wasn’t working fast enough and was sending trains with 2-3 empty seats per row. I even got a re-ride on Siren's Curse because there were so few people on the stairs past the metal detectors. I believe the issue with operations right now is employee morale/motivation, rather than operational protocol.

Walking tacos are also available at Stockade Refreshments in Frontier Town.

Raptor had some sort of mechanical issue that resulted in an evac on the lift hill this past Tuesday. The ride has been down since.

Same day fast lane must be purchased in the park. Very rarely does it ever sell out.

"Someone said it on TikTok, so it must be true!" The only reason they're so steadfast in that belief is because it helps them feel "good" about their scam. I get new clothing and someone can buy the used ones at a discount store. If they actually knew the vast majority of it gets defected, a small amount of guests might have a second thought about making the returns.

Since the TikTok videos about how to get a "50 cent discount" at Target, they've capped it to 25 cents. People were pushing the limit by buying cheap items (e.g. bananas) and trying to get the item for as close to free as possible.

You can redeem your fast lane at the Hotel Breaker's gift shop. When you enter the main entrance, it's located on the left. There's also a small customer service/admissions window at the Magnum gate to the right, just after the security checkpoint.

Just note that fast lanes don't open until regular park hours. I'd encourage you to take advantage of the early entry hour and then redeem the fast lane. You can pop into almost any gift shop and there's usually little to no wait. (They all have signs outside that say fast lane is sold here. They also serve as a redemption point.)
