You can always wear cargo pants if you don't mind that sort of fashion. Or a pair of jeans with deeper pockets. That's one way to avoid the whole bag debacle all together while still retaining your items on your person.

I might also add that at least ONCE a trip I hear someone bring up Son of Beast. I wish I was exaggerating, but I am not. Regardless of opinions of the ride during its time with us, there is still a great deal of interest in it. I for one hold a soft spot for it in my heart since I grew up with Son of Beast and despite how seriously vicious the ride was, I am glad I got to experience it as many times as I did over its existence. Regardless of whether any of these SoB related easter eggs means anything, its still fun to speculate!

I have #20/250 of the track slices from this guy but I would love to have one of the wheels too. I really love that they are playing into the lore of SoB. For someone that grew up with the rebellious son this is really special. And for those who are too young to remember/did not get to attend the park during his tenure, it creates conversation and interest. I look forward to seeing this stuff with my own eyes in a couple of weeks and if any of this leads to something more. I know that it probably won't. Maybe a new Haunt attraction at best, but if this is molecular possibility of a teaser for something more how incredible would that be?

I'm really glad that the deputy caught her before she either hit and killed someone in the parking lot or made it out onto the streets to do the very same.

I first off want to say I made the stupid choice of going to the park yesterday because it was an absolutely beautiful day, I had the day off and honestly I knew anywhere I had the idea to go to would probably be busy and or crowded with people, so I made the choice to go to the park for the last official summer season day. Boy I should have just stayed home. Place was absolutely SLAMMED. Even the Fast Lane lines were long. Longer than I've seen in a hot minute at least. I ended up skipping out on a bunch of rides because having been spoiled by just being able to walk right up to the platform of any ride or just about, I simply did not have the spoons to stand around for long dealing with the gobs of humans in every direction. On that note though, I am making this post for a reason. I want to give a big thanks to all the ride ops for the hard work they put in this summer and for working the massive crowd yesterday as best they could. The 6 rides I did decide to do in the 3 1/2 HRS I was there, ya'll did an excellent job making it work. I also want to give special thanks to the ops for allowing me to have my seat of choice when I politely ask for it and goodness I wish I caught the young man's name at Invertigo yesterday. I was a single rider and the line sep was going to place me in a row I did not want to ride in. After I told him I vastly preferred one of the end facing seats he saved row 1 for me and I was incredibly grateful for that. I not only prefer this seat for the view/ride experience, but with ANY invert, they trigger my motion sickness if I do not ride in the front. Not sure why that is, but if I can see the track and everything directly in front of me I'm perfectly fine. Any other seat just does something negative to me. I will tell any line sep I will wait the extra cycles for the front just so I can ride comfortably. As for traditional sit down/floorless inverting coasters I am perfectly fine to sit in whatever row, but inverts require a front seat ride for me not to feel crappy. Moral of the story, that young man did something that might seem small in the grand scheme of things, but it was huge to me. I love our park and our ride ops. You all have made my visits over the years special. And this season is no exception. I'm sure a lot of you will return for the fall/winter season if school and far travels aren't an issue. Keep up the good work and thanks again for being rock stars. Looking forward to an awesome fall season this year! I hope everyone had an amazing summer season.

Aww see I am team Sonder. But don't worry, there are plenty of sponsorship opportunities for both to make their stand! Or...errr..stumble...

Just wishing them the best with getting the modifications made to where TT2 can have a successful season next year and everyone who wants to ride it can get a chance to experience it. I greatly miss the heck out of the OG TTD. I'm old enough to remember the announcement. The excitement and the insane thought of "how the heck is this even possible?!" I was a baby coaster enthusiast in high school during that time and I smile fondly at my formative years remembering such a mind blowing announcement. I have many many memories of this ride's growing pains over the years. Especially the first few years of her operations. Heck. Even into 2010/11 I can remember a lot of down time. Some of the funniest and most wonderful memories at Cedar Point revolve around this ride for me. I just want Zamperla AND CP to have their success next year. I want to experience this new iteration the way they envisioned it. Their success is a win for us as a community.

Snoopy's DUI Course!

Soon the rides will be sponsored by Sonder or Rhinegeist

Well, the ride does take 3 launches to complete the circuit so....does this mean the third "launch" of this ride will be successful?

Now the big question. Will another park pick this one up or will it be scrapped? Mmm...

When I first read the subject line I thought maybe the park had started marketing bottled water themed after The Beast

The world is full of too many predators and the fact that this man so carelessly left his young children unattended is awful. Anyone could have kidnapped these children in the blink of an eye. Not to mention the fact that since they are small children, they may have decided to wander off into restricted areas where they could have been hurt or killed. None of this is good. I agree, I'm glad the man is facing charges. There is literally nothing worth leaving your babies unattended for. I wouldn't even leave my dog unattended like that let alone if I had a kid.

Look. I am always grateful for the new things we get. From flats to slides and everything above and in between. However, I really reallllllyyyy hope that a dive machine ISN'T our next coaster. I don't have anything against them as they do give a fun experience, but I really want to see something special go in The Vortex plot. That land has had two significant slices of coaster history upon it and I would really love to see something amazing there. I've said it a thousand and one times, please please please let it be some kickin' next gen Vekoma looper! It would be something new, fresh and a nod to the past. I'm not against a dive machine elsewhere in the park, I just want to see something different take the stage where Vortex sat. I realize my dream RMC-SoB 2.0 will likely remain just that, a dream. But if anything else were to be miraculously placed where the rebellious son's station still sits ( and I am in no way assuming that the station can still be utilized-a new one could take its place ) a dive machine interacting with Banshee could be cool and it would use up the remaining plot of land that SoB occupied. Just a thought.

I think this is awesome. It's sad that there probably were people who took advantage of this situation, but I feel most folks try to be honest and I am grateful to hear that they still took care of folks. This is the kind of situation that when handled accordingly keeps people coming back and staying loyal customers.

I'm just happy to see a new water ride put in. Soak City has needed it for quite some time and this is a nice addition. Especially now that this is the only major water park in the area, an update was desperately needed.

Kinda giving me Velocicoaster vibes with all those rolls. Looks really graceful and fun!

All I'm thinking is "yay more fall rides!!!". I am grateful for every season at the park. Spring is exciting because of the long hiatus off during winter, summer is action packed and full of opportunity to visit both the dry and wet side of the park. Fall is just magical. Crisp, cool air, the feel and the smell of crunchy leaves, the earlier darkness leaving room for lots of night rides, spooky vibes. All of that. I am all for it!!! Not to mention I feel fall rides just hit different. They feel wilder, faster and more out of control which I dig. Winterfest was awesome last year IMHO. I felt for what was lacking during Haunt they made up for during Winterfest. I am hoping for a good Winterfest this year too as it has helped me personally with coping with the holiday season.

Wonder if it will be a dueling type water coaster or it will just be like a figure-8 style layout? Mmm. I guess we will find out in a week. Exciting either way!

This just shows that there is still a need for this ride, or some kind of water attraction. They are still popular on hot days for those on the dry side of the park. I for one am glad they have taken such good care of Congo Falls.

Holy WOWZA! Was this line actually utilizing the switchbacks in the que?! I don't think I have ever seen the line for Congo this long!

I think a Haunt drone show would be neat. They could still do it around 10PM and then proceed with the rest of the night until 12-1 or however late they will keep Haunt going. That way if folks choose to leave after the drone show that gives them sort of an out and for those who choose to stay later, can.

If it is indeed a part they are waiting on, I imagine it might be taking a bit longer since Vekoma would probably have to fabricate a new part from start to finish. With the Invertigo model not being a common ride, I have a hard time imagining them having a readily available part on hand to ship out. Just a guess of course.

A Halloween themed version of this would be rad!

At this point anything would be an upgrade to it. Don't get me wrong, I still get a kick out of riding BB and "trying" to get a higher score than my company, but more often than not the blasters don't work at all or they sparingly work. And it's been a haunted castle theme for 21 years now. I think having a brand new refresh to the ride would be welcomed. It could still be something interactive but just something other than its current long held iteration.
