Cedar Point MyPark App

Just found this app on the Android Market. Just released last week. Very cool and professionally done. It presents itself as an official app but I haven't seen any info. Wondering if anyone else has seen this yet.

Looks like Cedar Fair contracted out apps for many, if not all, of their properties, according to the developer's portfolio.

Interesting. I look forward to trying this out.

EDIT:
Holy crap! This thing weighs in at a portly 9.6MB! The only larger app on my phone is Google Maps. Yikes. :(

That's not a problem if it can be run from the sd card.

Wow...It is a large app.

Should we create a pointbuzz group?

^That would be cool.
It seems like this would've got some attention or marketed at some point. Maybe they'll tie in wait times for lines or specials on food and drinks.

The app is also available for Apple products.

The car locator seems interesting, I didn't know my car was parked in the Atlantic Ocean! :)Pretty cool app, has a lot of info. It won't help me much at the park since I don't plan on taking my iPad on any rides ahaha.

If the code is persistent, we can keep one for everyone to use. As an experiment try CB633.

It would be nice to have one everyone can remember instead of having to do a new one each day.

What kind of lightweight phone do you have where a 10 mb app is "portly" :)

HTC Hero, unfortunately. So I'm limited on phone storage and limited to 2.1, which means no native running of apps from the SD card. And I've yet to give in to Cyanogen, though the temptation grows daily.

Though even without the hardware limitations, the MyPark app is my second largest app. Though I suppose with the park map and other graphics, the app size shouldn't be all that surprising.

Is it free? I don't have a smart phone so I can't really look it up.

Yes, the app is free.

Mine was showing zaphhod in the park under the CB633 code. If there are 50 little dots on there tomorrow, thatll be so cool. I dont bring my phone into the park, but I'll take a look at it on lunch.

The official code for PointBuzz has been updated to PBUZZ. That code will work for the season.

Has anyone seen any errors with the app? Specifically with the show times? Do they all play at those times/places starting opening day? I'm starting to dig this thing for finding foods/show times.

Cool, Walt...thanks for setting us up with that. Anxious to see how this works while at the park next week.

Just checked into the hotel near the park. I will try the app tommarow.

Still trying to figure out how to open a new group.

I downloaded it and the KI one to my girlfriend's Droid. I wasn't even in the park when I used it and I loved it. :)

I was using it some over the weekend. I think it's actually a pretty cool app. It shows where everyone is at in the park, provided they're in your group. And it gives easy access to the blog, webcams, etc.

I agree. I used it on Sunday, and it had a couple bugs. Other than that though it was neat being to see where people in the pointbuzz group was at.

I used it quite often on Saturday and Sunday. Although I find myself questioning if the location is correct.. because I highly doubt that someone would be over by famous dave's all day ;)

Overall I think they did a very nice job on the app. I can finally delete the shortcut to the mobile website on my phone, but just like their website.. Facebook and Twitter seem to not update like they should...

Just my 2 cents
