Raining while at the point

How many of you go to the point even though you know its going to rain all day?

I've spent 8 days of my life at Cedar Point, 7 of them included rain. I'm going again this Saturday, the forecast says rain and I couldn't be happier. As long as you don't mind getting a little wet, the crowds are quite a bit smaller.

yeah this weekend looks like it will be a complete soaker, but im going anyway, as ive had this trip planned for months... theres still plenty to do, but it will be a shame if they cant do the fright zones, like the last couple halloweekends i went to.

if an all day or much of the day rain is in the pipeline, i won't go. a rainy day at cedar point blows.

Im going on Sunday, and they're calling for rain, just like saturday, but sunday will be even less crowded than sunday!

Post of the year nomination....I'm calling it now.

It's got my vote! :)

Whatever that means.

I planned my last trip to be this weekend Fri night thru Sunday morning. It sucksto see rain for the entire weekend, but we're planning to go anyway.

The Last time I went to the point in the rain, it did not effect the crowds at all. It was two saturdays ago and they were busy. I love when it starts raining in july - august. It is so hot anyways the rain cools it down and a lot of people leave.

Peace Mike

When it rains on a very cold October day, I bet it will turn the crowds away.

You gotta get just the right amount of rain so that they don't close the rides down, but it's still rain. I've been on Magnum, MF, and TTD (yes, 120 mph in light rain XD) all in various states of rain. Millennium was by far the funnest, Top Thrill was going to fast to really feel the rain (IMO).

ok so yeh the weather channel and all the local stations lied about the rain this weekend. all of them were soo sure it was going to rain. twc said 90% chance of steady rain... all others said steady showers.. woke up at 10 and yeh it was raining.. by 11 it stopped and i think through out the day saturday, i felt maybe 4 drops. and sunday was an absolutely gorgeous day. while i was kind of upset to not see it rain so that it would drive the crowds away, i was glad it turned out to be a pretty good day. but still it wasnt as busy as it was last weekend

August 30, 2005. The remnants of Katrina arrived in Sandusky in the early afternoon, with a steady rain for the rest of the day. Bummer for many, but I chose to stay at Millennium Force, which ran nonstop for the rest of the day. I got 27 rides that day on MF. And the following day, after the rain finally stopped late morning, TTD opened and I managed to get 17 laps on it. Can rain be a good thing for those of us who don't like long lines? You bet!

MForce, was that you in the front seat all day? ;)

I don't think so. I did decide to wait for the front seat on TTD for 3 laps thoughout the day, though. Heck, you can't pass that up with such short lines.

I've noticed the forecast for this Sunday predicts 15mph winds.

Q: I was wondering what wind speed typically causes the closing of 'wind-sensitive' coasters?

I wouldn't think so. At least I hope not, knowing I'm going on sunday (Tommorrow YAY! lol). By high winds I thought it meant like 30 mph winds. Ya might wanta look into that,

I don't get it. When I went in June, right before we left, it downpoured. I mean raining. HARD. But... yet... Power Tower was still running! I could not believe it! I wonder if I have a picture around here somewhere. It was unreal.
