Cedar Point has announced their 2020 additions. First up is the Lifetime Ticket.

CP is doing a bunch of drawings where people can get a CP ticket that will let them into CP for free for the rest of their lives! That's awesome!

Snake River Expedition is a new boat ride where riders will experience a one of a kind adventure with Trapper Dan! It will be a fun boat ride where you can experience things you can't experience at most theme parks.

Celebrate 150 Spectacular will be a celebration that will happen every night, with cool floats, food, music, and other fun things!

There will be a new town hall that will feature all of the park's history.

More details on the link above!

The parade is exciting. Floats look really cool. Based on what they said about it I imagine it will follow they formula of the Carnivale parade. 

Sounds like some great changes and additions! Snake River Expedition sounds very intriguing.  

I am fairly sure they will be celebrating more with more additions in 2021. But we have to wait for that.

"I'm a tour guide on the Snake River ride. Trapper Dan is my name." 

Sounds amazing

Good stuff! I really like the "Bands in Residence" program. Also, I wonder if Snake River Expedition will be tied into Forbidden Frontier at all. And where will it go?

No one knows....

I bought a brick and a mini brick. Hopefully they stay there for many years.

I was wanting to buy a brick thinking it would get placed in the park somewhere but it appears that they just ship them to you?

I thought that, based on the press conference they had yesterday, that the bricks would be placed in the park.

Per the below link, the bricks will be placed along the main midway.

The $30 mini-brick is a “replica” you get to keep.   Must order the big one as well.  

I'm dissapointed they took out Pink's. Was easily a guest favorite (saw a lot of backlash on social media). Replacing it with a mac and cheese bar makes no senses, especially given the fact it was the one of few Pinks on this side of the United States.

They likely had to pay a licensing fee of some kind (or a percentage of sales) to Pink`s.  That is likely why they opted to remove it.  Higher profit margin potential for the Mac and Cheese bar.  Not to mention those that have had the Mac and cheese bar at KI when they have had it have loved it.

I’m thinking the “big” ride will be in 2021. If they added a coaster this year, they’d be expected to top it next year for the second half of their celebration.  Seems like they have a great lineup for next year. 

I'm kinda curious if they might get in trouble for the name, because Keystone in Cincinnati owns Mac Shack.

I think in 2021 CP should get one of those Chance Rides Hyperlites or a Chance Rides family coaster like slime streak that opened this year.

It looks like CP is going to have live bands for the 2020 season.

We should start a KIC band.   @silver2005 you game?  I will play the cowbell.

^Only if we begin our sets with this.

 

@King Ding Dong, start practicing that choreography.  

Will do.  Can we play Rawhide?

We have a lock on piano via @pianoman and a bona fide OSU worthy trombone player in @Ride On_17.

Still need a tenor and/or bari sax, trumpet, guitar, bass (electric or double), drums/2nd cowbell, 1 or 2 singers, and a 3rd cowbell part. 

@IndyGuy4KI and @malem can be band managers and the rest of KIC are the groupies.  There is a discussion to be made for @VortexBFForever or @stashua123 for marketing, but will be discussed at a future date.  

#KICmusicshenanigans

I will negotiate free all season past lane passes for all band members! 

I'm in for drums if your hair looks like his does @silver2005 

I'm not sure I'd even want to play at CP.  None of their remaining music locations are all that great.  

Stop thinking so small.  CP will build us a stage on top of Dragster*.  We will officially hold the world record for The Tallest Band in The World.  Of course we will only hold that record for a short time until SF does it with Ka and Kanye. 

*Its not like anyone take note that Dragster is down for a whole week, that's normal.

I would be perfect at marketing haha!  

If this becomes a thing, I would gladly be the roadie!

Seriously, I've roadied* for many bands while in high school and college and enjoyed it. In the past, I've set up for Newsboys/Seventh Day Slumber, For King and Country, Brandon Heath and more (mostly local bands though).

However, that being said, I would feel very nervous bringing equipment up to the top of TTD...

*The gigs were unpaid, but I wasn't doing it for the money. However, I did get a free "Head Roadie" T-shirt out of it while in college!

@CPFoodBlog is reporting no Steel Vengeance ERT this year except on weekends.
