Park Cleanliness

I like the gulls. Yes, they are skyrats and messy, but their sound and watching them adds to the atmosphere, especially while staying at Lighthouse Point.

What are you talking about? How can you call it clean, when it's obviously infested by gazillions of cigarette butts and filled to the brim with secondhand smoke?!?

Well thanks to educated and motivated voters in Ohio, that will cease to be a problem!

;)

Okay, anybody got any bread and antacid? seaguls cannot belch or fart, so the excess gas builds up and "Bye bye Birdey"

That is just mean.

MrScott

Cedar Point would not be Cedar Point without the seagulls.

Speaking of cleanliness, it always makes me so disappointed in my fellow humans when I walk out into the parking lot at night and see all the litter.

Message to any first time CPer's:

STEP ONE: Make eye contact with garbage

STEP TWO: Close fingers around aforementioned garbage

STEP THREE: Hold said garbage over garbage container

STEP FOUR: Open clasped fingers releasing garbage

REMINDER: Contrary to popular belief, garbage does not disappear into another dimension when thrown out of the car at night in the parking lot. It really does fall and stay on the concrete where you drop it.

I can say that yeah Cedar Point is by far the cleanest park along with Holiday World, That I've been to. Now I've been to both on some very busy days, and with the large crowds both parks still locked good. SFGA I went to last July, it was pretty clean. The park had alot of trash can's. With the new owners of Kings Island, this year the park will be cleaner.

Waking up at Breakers and hearing seagulls is one of those rare moments when you forget everything in your life that's wrong.

Seagulls are our window into a perfect reality. Don't hate! ;)

I like the seagulls and agree that they add an overall atmosphere to the point. It'd be too quiet with out them.....not to mention that they DO add somewhat of a theme to Raptor in terms of its meaning.;)

You're only made fun of if you're talking out your backside. Generally you're ignored if you aren't in the click. Unless of course you run around looking for a good debate or opportunities to make inflamitory remarks. Which i like to think is my speciality.

good point!

Did you enjoy watching your coachless team in the NIT tournament! lol I haven't watched them at all. I think the Buckeyes in the final four is a little more exciting! LOL
Go Bucks!

To be perfecty honest I think Cedar Point's parking lot could be cleaned better and I think as September and October come there is tons of trash in the que lines and tons of trash under the coasters. Of course I only went in June in 06. Maybe it was better at the end of 06.

I've never noticed trash anywhere around the park that stuck in my mind. They do a good job keeping the park clean and looking great. One thing I will say that has stuck in my mind are the various gum walls/posts/trees around the park, those could be scraped clean a little more often.

this is way off subject, but does anyone have any good sites to download scenery for rct3? by the way, when i was at pki in june, the park seemed really clean......

Well i assume that the ride ques are the domain of the rides department, and in Sept/Oct i imagine that they're straped for staff to operate rides. Perhaps one could push to move the sweeps off the midways, but one would also assume that they have their own staffing issues.

The parking lot isn't noticable i think until the cars pull out, furthermore who spends a ton of time in the sun baked lot? I can't imagine the park wasting time on staff during the day to walk up and down the lot between cars to pick up trash. Just wait until the end of the day and make one clean sweep for the next morning. I've never seen the lot a trash pit the in the begining of the day.

Generally i would say the CP is a pretty darn clean place.

^ And now with the introduction of Chick-Fil-A, it'll be free of moral turpitude as well!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

I can say that gum is the hardest thing to get off, some times it like getting up dried glue off. And yeah throwing trash away isn't as hard as some people think, all it takes is a little brain power. *** Edited 4/9/2007 2:13:43 AM UTC by Daniel Smith***

I think that CP is right up there with the Disneys, Universals, and Buschs of the world when it comes to cleanness. Taking into consideration the amount of people they bring in everyday, the beating they take from the Lake Erie weather and the daily dive bombing campaign by the seagulls, the place is immaculate.

I think they put in a great effort to keep it as clean as it is. Every where I look there is an employee with a broom and dust pan. Everytime I go to a Six Flags park I dont see anyone cleaning, especially with Magic Mountain. That place was a big dump!! Some cool rides, but it was a disgusting dump. They should take all those nice rides and move them to a location where there are friendly people and some clean grounds. I heard Knotts is a lot better, but i have never been there.

From my one visit to KBF last year, I can say that that park is kept as spotless as CP.
