September 6th admission charge

Greetings,

Last year on the Friday after Labor Day my wife and I

went to CP. We paid 20.00 or 25.00 to attend, as the park

was only open 4 hours. On the CP website, price reads 35.99.

Does anyone know if this is the actual price or if a deal

will be offered?

I'm still waiting for an announcement of a deal as well. I've got a platinum pass, but I was going to take my daughter this weekend.

I wonder why they even bother opening for only 4 hours that day. That's really not much time to do anything. I don't even see how they could turn a profit that day. Most people that go will probably be locals and passholders.

I imagine it would be the same price as a "starlight" ticket...

Bite your tongue...it has been one of the best riding days of the past few years. :-)

Yea, 4 hours is plenty of time if crowds are thin. Now the profit factor for the park, I don't know.

I think this is more for training for the ride crews as they start to shuffle this time of the year for Halloweekends. But yeah, in the past this has been THE day to ride. I found myself getting sick because of how much I rode.

The park has been open for half an hour and it is almost empty. I wish I could have gone.

Was there from 5:45 to 7:45. As I was entering early entry,they also started letting in the 6 o'clockers. Most headed for GateKeeper. I never headed to GateKeeper,I rode it enough on Media Day. In the 2 hours there,did MF 4 times(all immediate re-rides),Maverick(pick your seat),Mean Streak,and TTD 6 times.Was a good evening for only 2 hours. Weather was great and park was empty. GateKeeper, Raptor, Blue Streak, Iron Dragon, MF, Maverick, Mean Streak,Magnum, TTD, MaxAir were running.

We were there too. Spent more time walking to the rides than waiting/riding. Awesome night! MF 9x, TTD 7x, GK 4x and Raptor 3x and 1/2 hour at Panda Express with no waits. We left at 0930 since I had to be home to prep for another event for Saturday. Otherwise we would have continued our Raptor marathon until 10pm. BTW Raptor was running 2 trains and only the front and back cars had people riding. WOW! Good times...
