What does CP need to fix up a bit?

I'd like to see more opportunites for guests to escape the sun/heat. Cooling stations, shade trees, whatever.

It would also be nice to upgrade the food in the back half of the park. Chuck Wagon and Frontier Inn are okay, but they don't compete with the many better locations in the front half.

Check out the brand new mist fan cart on the Dragster Midway. They have ice cold towels and mist fans prefilled and prechilled.

I must say the landscaping takes my breath away each year.

The gardens in the middle of the main midway are the best, especially when viewed from the Sky Ride. The new games refurbishment also added a lot to that midway. *** Edited 7/22/2005 5:47:47 AM UTC by RidePhoto101*** *** Edited 7/26/2005 8:07:55 AM UTC by RidePhoto101***

Hey! Don't put words in my mouth...I'm only guilty of the first one. ;)

The mist cart sounds cool, but I was actually hoping for something that I wasn't going to have to pay $5 for. For example, Fiesta Texas has a small mist zone near their main hub that you can walk through or even sit under. Very pleasant on a miserably hot San Antonio day.

Like at PKI or PCW they have the Coca Cola Cool Zone, or something to that effect. Basically it's a walk through mist station. Of course you can purchase tasty Cokes right there also. :)

Re-paint MF. 300th post :)

OOP's sorry about that, I was copying the code for multiple quotes and forgot to change the s/n. Anyway...

I have not looked back there this season but I remember there being mist nozzles as you walk below the Magnum toward the Soak City/Resort gate. And the mist fans at the cart are only $4. Disney was $12 I believe last time I was there. *** Edited 7/22/2005 5:49:04 AM UTC by RidePhoto101***

Iron Dragon would look good with a dark gray and a deep green, or 'black cherry' red.

Someone fix the half burnt out Wicked Twister sign!!

I know this is something that dosen't need immediate attention, but I thought I'd mention it without starting a new thread.

Did anyone else see how faded Dragster's yellow supports have become just after 2 years? Last time I was at the park I noticed that yellow is looking pretty pale compared to '03 or even last year.

Then again, it could just be because its a lighter shade than the ID supports.

Any thoughts?

Frontier Town is a complete drag anymore. In the morning its dead and even worse in the evening. Sure it has the two coasters back there (both slow mind you), and the other "thrill" type rides are both flumes. There isn't really anything to hang around back there and do unlike the rest of the park, where coasters and [dry] flats are a stones throw away from eachother.

Mean Streak is slow? It provides great thrills such as head choppers and fast turns. I love Frontier Town, it is my favourite part of the park because I love the atmosphere back there. An new addition back there would be great to liven it up some.

Am I crazy or are the old FT trash cans gone? While I was there I remember thinking something was different, and I think thats it.

Brian ,thats a great idea.I hope some official person sees that.

I know this is extreme,but how about extending the RR tracks so that the train goes all the way around the park.It could still retain the existing stations and add one to the front of the park.Somewhere near the entrance.

OK, pet peave here, restore the band organs!

Painting TTD's track by the hydraulic building white again. (the black grease doesn't look so good)

Fix MF's seatbelt issues.

Fix WT's roughness (or knock me in the head, since I'm the only one on this board who says this)

And most of all, continue the greatness that makes Cedar Point, Cedar Point!

I'd love to see a Pepsi Oasis like those at Holiday world. Free refils would really make everyone very happy.

All "on point" employee housing! Imagine a renovated Cedars with new carpet, redone bathrooms and a completely "overhauled" shower room!

how about making magnum's station less crazy and cramped?

Maybe it's just me, but I find the area near Blue Streak to be extremely dead feeling. The Calypso looks so stripped down, the old Pirate Ride building is kind of ugly just sitting there empty, and there's just a huge area of concrete with no trees or benches. A new flat ride in that area would really spruce things up, similar to the effect maXair had on the Wicked Twister midway.

MillenniumMan, that sounds like a good idea to me.
