https://www.kingsdominion.com/plan-a-visit/park-map As has been mentioned in the Disney Maps topic, KD has a "new" map. I will post Carowind's 2013 map in this topic when it becomes available to see if it compares.

That que will be cold when the wind blows off the lake in October, but shall have a nice refreshing breeze in July and August.

I got to see Gatekeeper from First St today, all I can say is wow! That thing dwarfs Raptor from the mainland.

It is a digital sub channel, it is not available in all markets, and even if it is, it might not be available on your cable or satellite provider.

The 2nd picture is showing Spiral plaza. The old Spiral / Transport Refreshments building remains, as well as the old stairs leading in to Spiral plaza. Meanwhile it appears a new planter will go in where Spiral stood with a new covering over the existing patio tables. The third picture has the beach on top with Giant Wheel and Twister to the left, with the new Gate Keeper grand entrance plaza next to the forward spike of Twister. I am happy that Spiral plaza remains intact, and hopefully with the restrooms still there.

http://parkrestoration.com/time4change_Letter.html The Hotel Conneaut operators want the board replaced in an open letter. For those unfamiliar with CLP, the hotel is literally in the park.

Harrumph I say, It is that wild horse in Frontiertown that is over rated.

I like the scenic asphalt, even after the grass is grown in, it will still be surrounded by old parking lot.

Tyler was moved over to Castaway Bay. Tony left for a TV job in Milwaukee, but has now returned.

http://www.cedarpoint.com/blog-article/online-fun/Everything-Old-Is-New-Again I am overjoyed with excitement right now.

http://blog.cleveland.com/letters/2013/03/extra_privileges_for_the_rich.html A letter to the editor in response to the interview, with more interesting comments below. Disclaimer: The letter and comments are not those of phantomtheater and do not necessarily reflect his opinions.

Rivertown was originally advertised as Frontiertown, how interesting. I wonder if the Amazement park had a few words about the name, as theirs had opened four years prior.

If you go to Park Ops, they will give you a sheet with all the perks on it.

http://www.cedarpoint.com/season-passes Highlights include WindSeeker is no longer early entry 10% off at all sit down resturants Apparently there will now be Sliders at Burger Patio (Buy a slider basket, get a slider sandwich free) Gatekeeper currently has a 52" restriction. There are many more discounts and perks, it is worth your time to look it over.

I believe this is the first time since a night show debuted in 1995 that it will have a day off. As for the DJ's, it is any music that is suitable for a family atmosphere, generally in the rock, pop, country or techno genres. EDIT 12:40am : I am disapointed that there isn't a show with a logical plot and isn't a bunch of songs thrown together.

http://www.goerie.com/article/20130221/NEWS02/302209916/Developer-says-Conneaut-Lake-Park-trustees-should-be-removed More troubles for Conneaut.

Then there is Millennium Force, in which the height restriction dropped from 52 to 48 inches in it's second season.

Are you allowed to request for them to remove shoes if you feel there is an artificial height enhancing system (Paper towels), or if the shoes them selves have a heightened heel?

I go to the park, and see who I may run into. Or how it usual goes, people I know come out of nowhere and "kidnap" me for the day. I have tried to get some of my Screamster friends to ride with me during Halloweekends, they think I'm weird for getting up early (10:30 am) to ride coasters. The others are afraid of coasters. One ride however, I could never drag people on was Chaos. I only had two partners for that, my sister and Kat. Everyone else was afraid of getting sick.

If we get a flume, I want a Hydroflume. Unfortunately, they are not being built anymore.

Admission Details are now at the original link. All you need is a form of admission and a coaster club card. Tickets will be available at the gate and there is NO preregistration.
