Where do you start when you get to CP?

What's the very first thing you ride or do when you get to CP?

I usually park in the main parking lot, walk in the main gate, then either head over to Raptor (if the line isn't too long), go to BS, or head over to MF.

haha well the FIRST thing I do is go to the bathroom for obvious reasons...besides that I get my adrenaline pumped but quickly hitting a ride up on DD based on the line.

After that I head over to Maxair to ride and then take my kids over to Trokia, Chaos, and WT. After takin my son to what always seems to be EVERY SINGLE ride at Planet Snoopy and KK, my wife takes him over to watch AWE show at the stadium, while my daughter and I head over to the Magnum/Gemini area to catch rides on both Maggie and Gemini. Thats NORMALLY what we do within the first 3-4 hours we are at CP.

I hit the bathrooms pretty hard too...


4 summers of employment in ride operations does stuff to you.

I'd normally start at DD, but since I will now have a platinum pass I think I will ride MF as many times as possible until ERT is over.


First rollback=opening weekend '09

Well, it's different for me, depending on who I'm with at the park:

With my friend/former CP employee- Joe cool rides, then running to TTD, forming a line outside the entrance, and praying for a rollback.

With my sister- Bathrooms, bathrooms, (30mins go by) bathrooms, did I say bathrooms??

With my boyfriend- MF, TTD, WT, Raptor, or Maverick.

I'm not sure its so obvious. Are you peeing your pants with excitement? Are you so anxious about riding rollercoasters you have to poop? Are you so excited you have to go somewhere private and do something else?


2007,2008 Ripcord

For me it's either Magnum or Millenium depend on what time I get there.

I park in the main lot, then go straight to millennium force every time just to start with a bang.

How early do Platinum Pass holders show up on opening day? I really want to be first train on TTD, Mantis, or WT.


Visual Scan!
First Top Thrill Dragster train of 2011!
Rollbacks: 1st Triple Rollback of 2009!

We stay at one of the resorts so we line up for ERT. Upon opening we run across the park to ride Maverick. From there follow the Frontier Trail to Millenium Force. Then finish the journey to Raptor and usually get off the ride as the mob at the front is released into the park. and normally we end the day with Magnum as we leave the park.

Magnum Entrance, ride Maverick, MF, in line for TTD, then its either a ride on Power Tower or Magnum next and then continuing back towards Gemini hitting the Witches Wheel, Tilt a Whirl, Gemini, Skyhawk sometimes Mean Streak and then thinking about what I want to do next (go to Soak City, ride the train to the front of the park, go eat lunch, etc.)

If Im not able to do ERT, then its TTD first, Power Tower, back towards Gemini/Frontiertown.

Park at Soak City and head to TTD .


2007 trips=39..08 trips=47..09 trips=79

Ripcord and/or Skyscraper is my favorite way to start the day. :)


And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

I go to the soak city lot and make a B-Line for Mavie and Skyhawk, than Millie if a resort guest.

If not.....Soak City lot, Dragster then the Screw, PT and then Maggie.

MF! Though last year I bum rushed it for TTD with some others here. This year I'm getting on Millie a few times in a row for ERT though.


384 MF laps
Smoking Area Drone Pilot

I either start with either Milliennium or Dragster. then work my way to the back and hit every coaster as i walk through no matter how crappy people say it is. Hey might as well while youre there right?


So stoked for 2010 :]

I go to the middle of the park and start small...usually a ride on Iron Dragon, and then I either hit MF or Magnum and start making the rounds.
