Early Entry

Cargo Shorts's avatar

For clarification is the CPS lot open prior to 9 this season? iIRC it was closed until 9:30 or so the past season or two to prevent this. Haven’t even tried for EE the last 3 seasons but may give it a go in a couple of weeks.

Cargo Shorts, my son & I have entered that lot for Early Entry at 8:45am at least 6 times over the last three weeks. So, the answer is yes.

Not that it's needed, but I can confirm jimmyburke's comment. I just met some friends staying at Breakers yesterday morning for early entry. I pulled into the CPS lot at 8:15 and got a great spot. We went in at the Magnum gate and as we waited in the security check line had to convince my friend's 14 year old son (who is in love with Magnum) why it was a bad idea to ride Magnum first off - at the expense of a first ride on Maverick or Steel Vengeance.

We were a bit bummed to see that Steel Vengeance wasn't running, but got into relatively short Maverick and MF lines to start off the day. Throughout the day, I repeatedly told two disbelieving 14 year olds how much better Steel Vengeance was in comparison to Maverick. They thought I was exaggerating.

We hit different rides throughout the day and took a mid-day break. I was finally able to talk them into a 9:00 p.m. line entry to Steel Vengeance. Even though it opened much earlier, the boys and their parents didn't want to wait in a long line and were going to save it for another early entry today - which I wouldn't be back for. They wanted to ride Valravn rather than SV because it had a shorter queue line and both were first time rides. But I talked them out of that plan and afterward they were not disappointed! They even apologized for doubting me on the SV vs. Maverick remarks.


Proud to have fathered a second generation coaster enthusiast destined to keep me young at heart and riding coasters with a willing partner into my golden years!
