CP restrooms

I'll never understand that sort of lazy, self-important mentality.

Oh relax. We're talking about poop on walls, not life.

Bad mood today? Maybe it's the fact that those Red Wings can't beat the Blue Jackets anymore

If I were you, I'd be more concerned that the Blue Jackets barely eeked out a win against what essentially amounts to an OHL team. ;)

And no, I'm in a great mood. Thanks for asking. :)

I just don't get the whole "I'm too good to do the job you hired me for" mentality. There's nothing logical about that point of view.

Six flags restrooms are much better than CP. For one thing, they have designated entry and exit and a well thought out flow to them. Unlike CP's walk in, nearly headbutt the guy walking out, criss-cross the bathroom twice between using a urinal, then to the sink, then to the disgusting dyson petrie dish. Ugh.

Still complaining about hygiene?

Sign..

Want me to bring an N-95 mask, fume hood, surgical occlusive gown, sterile gloves, and a catheter for you to enjoy your day?

I would honestly bet you grabbing onto the same restraint as 100 people before you with their ass sweat you sit in is more filthy than you dropping logs and washing your hands and leaving the restroom.

Who gets assigned to clean up the poop that gets smeared on the stalls?

I have worked as a restroom attendant at CP. (It has been a few years so things could have changed). Generally, if the crews are adequately staffed, then one person is assigned two or three restrooms for their shift and then they rotate through them.

There have been instances in my experience of the restroom crews being understaffed, and one person being responsible for four or five restrooms. That is overwhelming. Really, even three are overwhelming when it's busy.

When the park is not busy, the restrooms pretty much stay clean on their own. But once it gets busy, and you have a constant flow of people through the bathrooms, they can get trashed pretty easily. Ideally one person would be assigned to each bathroom when it's busy, but I don't think CP wants to hire that many restroom attendants. It usually takes between 10-30 minutes to clean and service a bathroom depending on crowd level. Then you factor in walking time to the next restroom and breaks. Sometimes restrooms won't get touched for as much as two hours.

It all really depends on staffing levels and also customers have a lot to do with it. People drop toilet paper and paper towels on the floor, they make huge puddles all over the sinks with water and soap. Really, if everyone who used a restroom cleaned up after themselves then they would not get so bad.

That has to be a terrible job. Like, a candidate for "Dirty Jobs". But I'm in agreement with dj, if you take the job, you gotta man up and do it and quit bitching (not saying you are). Or get a different job. It's that simple.

I have always cleaned up after myself. People should not leave paper, water, urine, poop, etc. all over the stalls, floor, counters or sinks.

People shouldn't fling poop in public restrooms.
People shouldn't spit on the sidewalk.
People shouldn't abuse rental cars.
That dumbass cook shouldn't cook my burger medium-well when I clearly asked for medium.

If it's not theirs, people can absolutely be counted on not giving a crap about it.

^No they do give crap, it's slung on the walls ;)

I have used my share of out houses and porta potties and maybe that has lowered my standards but overall I still think the restrooms at CP aren't so bad. It's not like being at home, or even my place of work but it sure beats plenty of other situations. I have personally cleaned up way grosser things than I have ever seen in a CP restroom. When I come across a nasty stall I just use a different one and go about my day.

I think everyone can agree that yes, there exist places in this world that are more horrible than a CP restroom.

The point is, in comparison, CP restrooms are generally less-clean than comparable parks. I blame the age really. Modern public restrooms have come a long way when it comes to designing for proper ventilation, drainage and easy cleaning.

The park clearly does not consider replacing and/or rebuilding restrooms a priority. Last year I used the set just outside the front gate, which I assumed were new since so much work was done in the area. Very seldom do I park in the front lot, so even though I have a limited basis for comparison I found it odd that the 'new' restrooms looked so similar in appearance to all the others.

Eventually it dawned on me that-despite having a perfect opportunity to rebuild-they were exactly the same as before; the only upgrade was an exterior re-skinning of the building.

I will say this as a papa bear of two little ones, the family restroom(s) are always in great condition, and our home base of operations, which would be the family center in Planet Snoopy, is immaculate. Never any poo on those air conditioned walls or on the breastfeeding chairs.

I only wish they would build another family center back in Frontier Town.

Maybe that's in the cards for next year. The only problem I usually see is common for Cedar Point. During the spring, there is always Mayflies all over the walls.

Kevinj.... SHHHHHH!!!!! That Planet Snoopy restroom is a secret! It's by far the best one in the park.

No longer! I am checking it out this year myself.

You have to have a child under the age of 10 with you to enter.

I remember years back while using a urinal at an older restroom near the back of the park. An older gentleman was doing his business next to me and casually stated that there really needs to be privacy dividers between the urinal not sure if he was looking down or not since I had the straight ahead death stare while going lol. That was not a conversation I wanted with anyone and ignored him lol while trying to pee faster to get out of there. Never really crossed my mind and don't even notice that kind of thing until this topic came up and reminded me.
