Changes

All in favor of "Operation Trees" for Project 2008, say "I."

And didn't they used to have those mister things under Magnum's track where it crosses the midway coming out of the station?
The cooling stations seem like a cool idea at first thought, but it seems that every park that has them just lets them go. They wind up looking like wet, disgusting little corners in the parks.

Hey, they could even make it the worldest largest at that ;) .

With eight inversions...

• Create a new nighttime show to replace Hot Summmer Lights (Perhaps JUST a fireworks show)
• Talk more about the downtime in rides. We waited in line for the Dragster and it started drizzling and then about 10 trains later they shut it down and it was still just drizzling . We didn't know if it was down due weather or maitenance. The didn't give an announcement until about 15 minutes later. If it was down for weather we would have stayed but if it was down for maitenance we would have left.
• Add 2 more swings at SkyHawks peak.
• This one is kind of a random idea and most likely will not happen since CP is not a Theme Park and CP already has the Mine Ride: Re-theme the Mean Streak to a runaway mine train (like the mine ride.) The queue line winds all around under the Mean Streak and it is kind of enclosed from the ride, so it looks a little like a cave. They could make that into a mining cave that you have to walk through to get to the station. Also, the Mean Streak is usually extrememly bumpy so that would give it more of a runaway, out-of-control mine train feel.

Well, first off, they just redesigned the show for this year... but besides that the problem that Cedar Point has with doing fireworks each night is that they don't have anywhere to shoot them off. You'll notice that Hot Summer Lights doesn't use 'true' fireworks because of this. They have to use the front of the main parking lot where employees normally park. The whole area is blocked off the entire day, and many spaces are lost, not to mention that I believe there is an employee parking ban that day as a result.

Not to mention worrying about the rides if they shoot larger ones inside the park. Last time I was there, one of the fireworks mis-fired and a big ball of fire nearly hit the overbanked curve over the Millennium Force queue. Not that it would have done any damage, but if at train had have been going through there at the time I bet that would have been fun to experience. :-P

How about wireless headsets for some of the smaller flat rides like matterhorn and scrambler. Load times were horrible last week due to the safety schpeel and then he would come out and check seatbelts. I know they have the headsets on some of the bigger coasters and am pretty sure it wouldn't be that expensive to do it on some of the flat rides.

I'm pretty sure that the fireworks shows are set off down the beach by Kinzel's house. At least, that has been where the opening day fireworks have been.

I'm pretty sure it's the very edge of the parking lot, where it backs up to the beach. That's where they park the truck they bring the fireworks in and I've seen the holders for them there, and with the fence and trees that are right there, there really is no effective way to get to the beach right there. Look at the degree they're being shot from seen here:

Edit: And yes, I know the signs they post at the entrances say otherwise. *** Edited 7/3/2006 7:08:29 PM UTC by DBCP***

CP has said the best place to view the 4th of July fireworks is on the CP beach. Take that for what's it worth. I have never been there for the event.

MrScott

I would also change the CP uniforms. Those red and blue outfits could be updated a bit.

Take the stupid seat belt regulations away .....

Since this is a thread about impossibles...

While we are at it Eleazar why don't we just take away the seatbelts and lapbars so everyone can fit. Hey if were lucky they will leave the handels so at least we can hold on.

That was nasty, CP4va'04,

Please try and be nicer.

MrScott

Maybe when he stops posting about the damn seatbelts I will be nicer.

I would certainly like to see a log flume really soon.

Put some of those 25 cent water spray guns overlooking Thunder Canyon.

I think Soak City is overdue for a new slide of some sort. SC hasn't changed much the past couple years and I get sort of a blah feeling when I'm there.

Wow, I guess I don't ask for much. I'm very pleased with Cedar Point as it is. :)

Glad I found this thread so I dont have to start a new one.

There is just ONE teeny tiny change I would like to make.

Are you all familiar with the place where the "skeleton barber shop quartet" sings during Halloweekends? It's on this stage by a historic train engine...well, wouldnt a REAL barbershop quartet singing there fit in with the frontier theme perfectly? And, when Halloweekends comes around it would be so much funnier to have the bones...

I can hear the first song now..." I lost my lunch....on Millenium Force...." (if you know barbershop, that little clip could sound pretty funny? ;) )

Just my 2 cents

- $1 drinks would kick so much ass.

- I know it would never happen but have the FrightZone by MF open year round (because nothing is really back there now except the shops)

- Park open later. Till' Midnight everynight

YES! lower the prices on all food and refreshements. At least the drinks. The machines are ridiculously overpriced. $2.50 for a bottle of Pepsi????? At least be reasonable, 1.50 or 1.75 would be fine. the 25 cent cotten candy was a start.

That was already done for this year.... the pop was $3 a bottle, and countless other food prices dropped through out the park.
