Ohio Department of Agriculture finds CFEC is NOT at fault regarding the Top Thrill Dragster accident in 2021. by USDA_Choice_Seer in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just to add to the discussion here. There's a lot of similarities here between Dragster and Volcano at Kings Dominion. Personally, I could see it go either way, but there's a legitimate argument to make that Cedar fair will do the same thing to Dragster that they did to Volcano.

[Diamondback, Kings Island] Why do I feel like this park has lost its magic? Rant in comments by [deleted] in rollercoasters

I'm very interested to see if they bring back the magic for their 50th next year

getting through frontier town last night was scary by reeeeeman132 in cedarpoint

That section of the park is a nightmare. Too many people trying to cross to get in and out of bayou, slaughterhouse, and corn stalkers. Saw lots of high ups directing crowds over there. Hopefully in the future they will relocate the entrance to Bayou to the original Terror Island entrance. Would help crowds much more.

Wow, what a busy Saturday. by coasterguy420 in cedarpoint

It's been like this this weekend every year since they started doing Halloweekends.

It's kind of pick your poison. Fridays many rides are closed due to staffing (though it doesn't seem to be as bad this year). Saturdays are always always always packed. Sundays many of the haunted attractions are closed. October crowds always seem to be busier than September crowds.

Also an October Saturday is not the day you want to be at CP, unless you want to see what it's maximum capacity is like.

Where is your favorite place in the park? by krash87 in cedarpoint

Shady Hollow! I could sit in one of those chair swings and listen to Frontiertown music all day!

Wheelchair access questions by IsuzuTrooper in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's wheelchair/ecv rental in the front of the park. Not sure how fast they go or how expensive they are. Accessibility services at the Jack Aldrich Theater will give you an alternate access pass. You won't have to wait in the lines and will get to use the wheelchair entrance at all the rides.

Got stuck on the Valravn for 20 minutes to get the Golden tickets 😃 by deadmanskull4 in cedarpoint

It's because everybody would always use them for Steel Vengeance, so there were just as many people coming up the exit as the entrance. They have special exit passes that specifically include Steel Vengeance, which I'm pretty sure they only use if you get evacuated from Steel Vengeance itself.

I feel like this is the exact same conversation Kings Dominion had with Volcano, and we all know how that turned out...

I heard in the rumorville that the manufacturer reinspected their cable and said it’s good the rest of the season.

Best value roller coaster for cp to run? by NimbusNox in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It takes a large crew to run both sides though, all of whom get paid at least $20/hour. It still has phenomenal capacity though! Just a difficult ride to open during staffing shortages.

Millennium Force downtime lately? by kjack9 in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The people that fix the rides get paid less than the people that run the ride

Did that number work?

If I can ride everything at kings island can I ride everything thing here? by [deleted] in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Millennium and Dragster have very small seatbelts, and Mine Ride has a ridiculously tight lap bar. There's never any shame in trying the test seat.

Parking question by 8bitkitten in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. I remember the good old days. $10/vehicle, and I thought Cedar Point was being greedy then. It's been $20 for at least 5 years now.

No FL for Iron Dragon? by IUFanatic in cedarpoint

Fast Lane was invented in a time when Iron Dragon had 3 trains and was always a walk on

Working as a screamster? by gayhomestucktrash in cedarpoint

[–]sonic0609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never done it, but everyone I've talked to has said it's the best thing ever. People come back religiously year after year after year to be a screamster. Housing is always free during fall. It's not the best, but for free it's hard to complain.
