Ah Carrollton..That is my hometown...The passes are being advertised down in Georgetown at Kroger for $59.95. The sign was posted right on the front door.

It would be very awesome indeed.

That does make sense that the missing rides were leased. I assumed they had been there from the Six Flags era. The last time the park operated I did not have a small child so I was not familiar with what rides were in the kiddie section. Does anyone here know for sure and care to share?

I believe FlutterFly is taking the place of the balloon ride that was there last year that was similar to the the new Up, Up and Away. They also removed the race car themed kiddie whip. I wonder what they are doing with these rides, for sale, storage?

Souvenir cup questions
I opted to upgrade my combo at the Burrito Shack for $8 to include a souvenir cup. The line was moving extremely slow and after the guy rang me up he hit something wrong on the register and had to re-enter the order. The second time he opted to let me have the souvenir cup free...I guess for my trouble or to save time. Either way. it was strangely generous but did make up for the wait. I assumed he was a supervisor because he was running around helping where he could on both the line and the register and for the most part seemed to know what he was doing. I got a free refill later at the new Coke Market and all went smooth. I chalked up to it being opening day and things will get better plus I got a free souvenir cup so I am happy

I love red, but I would have painted the supports that red and the track another color, maybe black! All red is almost to much... I have to agree that two tone would have looked better but it is what it is...I am just hoping the new trains improve the ride experience.

The red is VERY visible from the airport now. I noticed that in December when we were flying out there. It's far from my first choice but I don't hate it. It will be a nice contrast to the blue water of the wave pool in front of it.

Thanks for the heads up. I will be coming up tomorrow morning and had no idea of the construction.

That looks nice. I am very excited to see the other improvements to International Street.

Shake, Rattle, & Roll is back!
It kind of creates a little 1950s inspired area with the Jukebox Diner across the way. I wonder if they will spruce Jukebox up to match the "new" ride.

Fast Lane 2015
yeah I am not sure why he did not say something. When I caught back up with him I had assumed that he had rode until he told me what happened.

Coaster Campout 2015
Call me silly but that makes sense to me. Why go if you don't want to/aren't able to...... CAMP OUT? For us it was mainly because I wanted to take my three year old daughter who would not have done well with the camping (especially in hindsight after the whole monsters in the middle of the night wake up) I wanted to go to participate in the ERT and other benefits of the event and really did not mind not getting to camp. Also Cedar Point was kind enough to let me have an extra guest as the original rules said you could only bring one if you were staying at the hotel. I also got the promo rate at Hotel Breakers for both nights. It was a great deal and we had an awesome time. There was plenty more to the event other than just camping...

Coaster Campout 2015
My family went last year but opted to stay at Hotel Breakers (at a reduced rate) rather than camp. It does not look like that is an option this year. It was a great event. I highly recommend it if it works for you.

So weren't they supposed to be replacing the Peanuts Theater with a petting zoo? It looks like it is still standing to me...

Fast Lane 2015
I'm glad they're not. It's a low capacity ride, it could make the regular line really long. Cedar Point's flyers were part of the Fast Lane last year. I have distinct memories of standing under a very hot June sun with no shade and being *this close* to ride and kids with the Fast Lane wristbands coming running up. There goes another ride cycle. I'm glad the Woodstock Gliders won't be part of that system. And I really really hope there will be shade over the queue area. The flyers at KD were on Fast Lane last year. My friend was the only one in the Fast Lane line and was passed over for two ride cycles before he got mad and left the "line".

Most Important Part of a Coaster?
The right combination of all of those things is what makes a great coaster.

Coney Mall flat rides
I did the spinning side once. Done. checked off the bucket list. No need to ever do it again unless I lose a bet.

Is there a manufacturer out there currently making adult size Whips? There really needs to be...

How do the agreements with the companies that bring in the rides work? Who pays who for them to be there? How do the profits get divided up?
