Cedar Point

Cheap clones for the staple parks rather than landmark additions.

I mean I think the answer to this addition is simple: things got weird and they had to install it somewhere. SF and CF have had plenty of custom designs and off the shelf stuff. If you were saying CF is getting more attention than SF I’d agree (and ngl I’m super for since I’m a CP fanboy I’ll admit).

Well, I can honestly say this is probably one of the most surprising announcements we've had in a while. I know they did the teaser, but I don't think anyone knew it was going to be a tilt coaster! Most folks were leaning towards a waterslide for the waterpark, with a handful thinking of a water coaster. Hat's off to Cedar Point for keeping it very under wraps, as for me this is honestly a nice surprise!

I'm down for a tilt coaster, and the layout looks really fun, too. It's not just a one-trick-pony with the tilt drop itself and not much after that. All in all, this is something that'll entice me to visit the park again next year!

This is a very SF addition, down to the animation and pulse pumping music. I actually think it has the same name of SFM's coaster ( look back at the teasers for that coaster announcing the announcement that never came.

SFMM better hope everything passes with the planning commission, or their new coaster may end up at Kings Island lol

Cedar Point was packed this year on a regular basis. Idk comparison to previous years but I don’t think they were hurting significantly…this feels like a makeup attraction…unique enough to the park to diversify its offerings and attract more thrill seekers…especially with TT2 presumably operating next year. Its gonna be major boost for sure

Edit: I will say…I would have preferred a family coaster addition….something akin to Good Gravy or additions similar to Carowinds. CP has decent amount of kid attractions, but somehow still feel like they’re lacking

The onboard audio is going to make this extra terrifying

Forgot to share this moment of hilarious stupidity with you all...

So the other week, I had someone try telling me that Cedar Point was "closing forever". It took a lot of strength for me not to die of laughter, but I did tell them that they were very misinformed.

Theme Park Insider is reporting that Cedar Point is cutting pay rates for employees, most especially the $5 an hr. legacy increase they gave employees after the covid opening when they were having problems getting employees.

Looks better than I thought it would be.

Hearing good reviews that it’s pretty zippy, fun, and has lots of airtime. Glad to hear it’s not just a one trick pony.

With some luck, should get to go on it in about 3 weeks.

Some evacuation video— the mechanics are in safety harnesses but (I guess the ride op) guy in orange vest closest to the edge has no visible fall protection gear.
