Record-breaking Siren’s Curse tilt coaster to lure Cedar Point thrill seekers in 2025

I would imagine they'll add Siren's Curse the EE lineup once it's up and running, right?

Yes, if it is running, we can discuss EE.

Wild Mouse not being on the list is surprising to me as well. Makes me nervous about GP opening at 9am. Loved opening the park at the GP bar.

^Scott Cameron, I was an early entry person numerous times last season. We would hit GateKeeper, sometimes Wild Mouse prior to checking out MF and beyond. I never ventured into the "GP" when passing by, but someone mentioned that they served some nice breakfast sandwiches. Is that true? We always saved our meal plan for mid-day.

Any word on what tall boys they will serve at the kiosks this year? I like to keep an iced down six pack just over the fence in the bushes on perimeter road, and grab it while I ride by on the train. Bam, ice cold beers, and i saved myself $100 ;)

^Jimmy Burke, as Han Solo said, yes that is true. And their hot honey chicken biscuit sandwich is really good. The other option is basically an enhanced egg mcmuffin type sandwich with aioli. Both are good, but I found the biscuit one to be better. YMMV of course. They start serving breakfast and the full bar at 9am. Not a bad meal plan option at all.

Yeah I saw their FB post Saturday. The renderings really look nice for that location.

I spent many mornings last season at the Grand Pavilion during early entry and loved every minute of it. The breakfast sandwiches with a leinenkugel summer shandy was a great way to start off a hot summer day. The views of a deserted CP beach were also incredible to see. I really hope the GP is open at 9AM once again this season.

Has it been a while since Raptor was included in Early Entry? I haven’t attended EE in years so Raptor always has a sizable line by the time I make it in.

The park's inability to get just about any ride ready to go for EE has been a problem for a good decade at this point; Mav & SV were consistently late, which was especially irritating since if you hauled yourself all the way back there your options to do something else with the time were limited.

Its annoying that the rides with the two longest waits in the park can't be tackled using the time that is specifically designed to help with that, but since they have proven six ways from Sunday that they can't (or choose not to) handle it properly, its best to leave them off.

It's understandable that Steel Vengeance isn't able to be ready for EE, considering how labor intensive the daily maintenance is. So I don't blame them for not even trying with Maverick, because, as you point out, if that's not open, folks have wasted a huge chunk of EE walking back there, and it's a long walk to get to anything else.

Pet-peeve here; I think it would be nice if they could better organize the line of people waiting for a ride to open, especially when the line is lengthy. For example, Iron Dragon would have people lined up straight out into the midway blocking passers by, Gemini also would be a mess prior to it's opening. Maverick would sometimes have the people out in the wide open area and other times through the narrow area towards its' Fast Lane. Just wondering if they could instruct the person at the entrance with the striped stick to direct people, or a person wiping bugs off railings to help with organization.

A few of those temporary queue railings could organize the line outside the entrance.

^^^I do agree that Maverick is a gamble, but that's the risk one takes in my opinion. They used to have Maverick and Skyhawk together, and if Maverick was closed you could at least get a Skyhawk ride or two before heading down to Millennium. I think it's borderline embarrassing if an 18-year old roller coaster is still incapable of being consistently opened at the scheduled time, regardless of what time that is.

^^^ Yes, Jimmy, this irritates me too.
Just leave the RIDE CLOSED sign up and open the queue.
Easy fix.

In all fairness I do not think we can blame the park ops for guests inability to follow simple instructions. I have witnessed several times where a an employee was trying to tell people where to line up and stay out of the way only to have the "guests" either intentionally or unintentionally ignore them. Since it should be a well documented fact that most cannot follow simple instructions I guess temporary ques could work, but then again we are back to step 1 if those temporary ques fill up...

Now were going to have TWO lines to contend with in that area. In a much narrower midway! Sirens Curse AND Iron Dragon. I hope they move the dippin dots cart out of the way to make room for the hordes of people lined up in the midway. I won't have a problem, as I've been to many a concert mosh-pit before.

Iron dragon pre opening queue could be resolved this season without that stage in the way.
