How about DT with the lights on? That would be interesting.

We tried to get that last year. The ride ops wanted to do it. Their boss said no.

That's ridiculous. What's to be afraid of? That, while traveling at speed, we'll somehow take non-blurry pictures of the many OSHA violations that are probably lurking in there and which should never have seen the light of day? Hmmm, on second thought.... ;)

Sounds like an awesome event yet again. The limited time between Friday night and Saturday morning ERT might persuade me to consider staying at Breakers for the first time ever.

^ I was thinking the same thing.

Very excited for this yet again. Last year's Coaster Mania weekend was probably the best weekend I've ever had at the point, and this has a lot of potential. Who's in for a Mean Streak take-over? Dibs on not back seat :)

I'll ride the Mean Streak plenty on this one. Just have to make sure to double up my pre-entry ibuprofen doseage :).

Have to make sure to put in the request for the day off that Saturday, won't push my luck for getting Friday off. Good to live in Sandusky sometimes. Does anyone know if registration is open all day, so I could just go in right after work on Friday to register?

From the event page:

9:00 A Registration Begins
Ticket booths 12 and 13 will be reserved for CoasterMania registration

So... yes, registration is open all day on Friday. Well, not all day, but all of the normal operating hours.

I want to have them turn off the lights when you hit the top of Windseeker on it ERT. That would be sweet. I also would like to see them turn on the lights for DT.

If i manage to make my way over to transport again I will defiantly ask but it's really not up to the ride hosts.

They did it a couple of years ago. I think it was the year Maxair was new. It was kind of cool, but nothing too special.

I am so excited for Coastermania! After missing it last year, I've been looking forward to this for a while. ERT looks great!

DT with the lights on is less fun than it already is. I'd love to go, but I will have to see if I can coordinate it with a trip to Michigan. :)

Got about a dozen magnum rides in a row without moving last year. Amazing times. Let see someone try that on MS this year.

i was planning to buy my tickets, but they don't have the "Season Pass Coaster-mania Tickets" up... Unless it was free for season pass holders the last few years... (maybe getting confused between Mania/Buzz)

EDIT: Never mind. I read the Post. I was to busy just Getting Off at the schedule to care for the post for a bit.... XD

Anyway, This looks Beastly. Will they just allow us to wander the park for the 4 hour intermission at night/Stay in the parking lot? I would just have a major football/soccer game during that time XD

You could probably hang out in the Breakers for those couples of hours, I would think.

4 hour arcade raid at Breakers!! Who's with me!!?? ;)

^How about a 4 hour arcade raid at the main midway arcade instead!? FTW! :)

Only if all the claw machines are filled with Domos :)

Is there going to be free drink wristbands this year? I couldn't find anything on the flyer.

Nevermind, just found it.

Glad we could be of assistance. ;-)

Just double checking, if you have a Platinum Pass can you attend?
