Hey Mikeybo, I remember Tanks walk down Magnum...lol Has anyone heard from him?

Hopefully on opening day we all wont be freezing, lol. But i am going on Mothers Day to avoid the further rush.

I have not heard from tank in a good while.

Peace, Mikey

I am going on Mothers Day too, because opening day is prom day for me and Mothers Day is after prom day.

Im in for the meeting. It will most likely be just me coming.

Tanks story of his walk down had to be one of the more interesting trip reports I have read on here.

That looks great, BGRooDoG, but just out of curiosity, what exactly is an "on beverage"? ;)

lol. I did not see that the first time I looked at it. That map looks great. I had to print it out. Only 25 left to go.

Yeah, that looks absolutely awesome. I put the link on my facebook profile.

^^^ I probably skimmed over it and missed that (It was meing made at 2am afterall), I do that from time to time. It will be revised tonight, around 10pm after I get of work... So dont use it yet!

Like my cool PointBuzz Opening Day logo, im proud of that little part. ITS SO PERDY ;)

That's awsome BGRooDog!
What kind of font is that? It looks professional.....as if Cedar Point was hosting it themselves.:)

^ A Random found that I thought looked good... I'll give you the name later. I think its called "Cedar Point is Hosting This Event" seemed appropriate ;)

Very nicely done, BGRooDoG (by the way, your screen name hurts my fingers ;) ).

One question, and maybe it's been answered previously. If so, I'm too lazy to scroll through the 46 pages of this thread to find out. If we park at Soak City, how do we get the stuff to the picnic pavilion? Here are the options I've thought of:

(1) Drop the stuff off at the beginning of the morning, then drive around to Soak City.

(2) Before 2:00, drive from Soak City parking lot to the main lot, then bring food to the pavilion in time for the meal.

(3) Secretly pass the food through the park, from the SC lot to the front, by disguising it as infant formula or insulin.

(4) Use previously stated methods to bypass the park (i.e., snorkeling, cornholing, etc.)

I thought of other ideas, including ones involving a trebuchet, a highly motivated tribe of groundhogs, or a macro-scale quantum state splitter. None of them seemed particularly practical, or even very pleasant.

That is a good question. Last year when I brought the dogs, I just stuffed them in a cooler and brought them up from the car. However, many won't be at the main parking lot.

So I'd say either drop them off in the morning when you first get there, thats what many people did last year for the party and it worked out just fine. Cedar Point has a pretty awesome atmosphere as we all know, which is one of the reasons we love to go, and many people leave their food sitting in the picnic areas.

Other option like you said Ensign, would be to drive your cars around to the main lot which would probably work out too. Choice it up to yall.

I'll be faced with the same obstacle, so guess I'll figure that out when I get there.

I was going to bring cupcakes as some of you know, but cookies are easier to store and get past the gate.
