Rider limit on May 4

On the Cedar Point site it says that only 96 riders will be among the first to ride on May 4th. Does this mean that there will only be the 96 people who win the bids to ride that day? Or can the rest of us ride after them?

that is the first ride, the auction. everyone else rides after...but it isnt the same

Each train holds 16 riders.
There are 6 trains.
16 x 6 = 96 riders to fill all seats on all trains.

So the 96 winners get to be the "first" riders on each of the trains.

I bet your ride will be just as awesome as the people who dished out the several hundred bucks joe.

Enjoy your ride on the big bad bug

cool, thanks

Well see that is where the misconception is. The 96 riders who bid on seats on May 4th will not even be close to the first riders on TTD. On May 3rd the Longaberger Basket Company is having its annual CP buyout. The catch... it is only open to Longaberger Employees, Relatives, and Friends. So in all honesty unless ur buddy-buddy with a Longaberger employee. You will in fact NOT be even one of the first 200 people to ride TTD no matter how much money you pay on a bid. So if u are someone with a Joe cool pass, you will be around rider 300ish and beyond. and Non - Joe cools will most likely be in the 600 range. That is expecting that all Joe cool members are present early on May 4th. But keep placing those bids!! no better cause than to donate to the Red Cross and even snag some free breakfast while being part of all the media circus and hooplah of being a VIP!! Happy Riding to all, and ill see ya May 4th!

What are the lights moving for... AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

they will be the first RIDES to the general public not some huge company like longeberger who pay thousands to tens of thousands for the park for ONE day!!!

Woah Coaster man... Do i sense jealousy or some kind of hatred towards Longaberger day. I didnt mean to get ur panites all twisted up into a bunch. Its gonna ride the same 600 people later as it will when the first engineer rides. (Unlike Millie's Yellow train which was getting a little rough last summer) I was just stating a fact that some dont realize. As far as bringing this back to the name of this topic, No there will be no limit other than how many people they can cram onto a coaster within 10 1/2 hours

steve you look real tough in your pictures

I think the limit will be under 20,000 people in 10.5 hours ;) It's just that the first 96 paid lots-o-money to ride...

...And red cross donations are good :D

Ok this is stupid I think we should talk about topics and not fight im sorry whoever is mad lets get along.
