Pinball at Cedar Point with pic

Here is me with the one of the two Hercules.

Cedar Point is a waste of time and space on the planet. They should
limit entry head count to X and increase the value to the place. We
have stopped going there, total waste of money, time and dealing with
assholes smoking in the lines.

What he said. Last time I saw the Monster Bash there, the scoop hole was
larger than a pop bumper cap. The ball couldn't even kick out because it
couldn't clear the gap of the hole.

The drive to CP used to kill me as a kid. I preferred the ferry out to
Boblo Island for some amusement park fun.

Frank, You are lost. CP is the bomb. Bought VIP to ride every coaster
front of line for 9 hours next week for my son and his friends. We are
going to ride 60 rides in that time. 3 of the top 10 coasters in the
WORLD. Get your head examined...!!!.

My daughter and I were Platinum Season Pass holders for 4 years in a row
through Cedar Point.. Those were some very fun years !.
In 2007 we went on 151 roller coaster rides at 5 different amusement
parks.. 37 of those rides were on CP's Millenium Force and 21 rides on
Top Thrill Dragster... It was a Great year !!
The way we used to do the Point is Camp.. I had a 25 foot Travel
Trailer and we would leave home on Friday about Noon.. set up camp and
stay till Sunday around 4:00 PM...
Or single Best Ride Every ... Opening Day at Cedar Point 2009... We
ran to Top Thrill Dragster on the Opening of the Gate ... Start of the
Season !! Got on the ride and got a Roll-Back... 1st ride of the
year...
For those you that haven't heard of a "Top Thrill Dragster Roll
Back"... The coaster shoots you at 120+ MPH up a 90 degree angle to the
height of 420 feet... Our train didn't make the crest of the hill and we
rolled back down backwards 420 feet....WOOOO Hooooo !!! Awesome Feeling
!!
... and Oh Yea... The Pinball sucks there!! ha

Isn't it about $400 to cut the lines for a day?

I can't believe there is a place that has TWO Hercules machines. That
thing is huge. I hardy ever see one on a location ... But TWO.... Wow!
A lot of space being used for such an odd title--I doubt the line would
be out the door to play Hercules if they were to limit down to just one
machine...lol

Cedar Point is a complete waste of time, and wasteland of idiots now.
Its over sold, and way way too many bodies in one place. No longer
enjoyable. Enjoy your VIP, knock yourself out senseless.

riding the coasters. Only Six Flags Magic Mountain in California comes
close to matching it.
No, it wasn't a great place to play pinball but we did play for about
an hour. Things were a little rough then (2009) but still playable.

I'm heading out on a road trip with my family next week, and I was
thinking about stopping by CP on our way from Chicago to Niagra Falls.
Ultimately, I decided to skip it since my kids are only seven, and they
aren't tall enough to go on most of the awesome coasters. Instead, we
are going to hit Kenywood near Pittsburgh. This is another great old
amusement park that I've always wanted to go to, and the rest of the
family will probably have a lot more fun there. :)

$375 per person, for 9 hours. Comes with a private tour guide.

I have no dog in this fight since I haven't been to CP since Millenium
Force opened. And I live in CA anyway.
The problem I see with the VIP is you're not allowed to re-ride. So if
you want to ride *anything* more than once, you have to go ride
something else in between each repeat ride. So you're forced to waste
time walking between rides.
Personally, if *I* was shelling out $375 a person for 8 hours (since
they force you to take an hour for lunch), I'd want the ability to
immediately re-ride.

"The parking/toll fee of $10 is not included in the VIP Tour."
For $375 you would think they could throw in the parking.

The mantra for the summer is Cedar Point (regardless of the fee you
choose) is a complete waste of money and time. Too many bodies, way too
much heat, lines hours long, pins suck, parking is pretty bad as well
due to the large volumes of idiots going to CP.
CP used to be fun, when it wasn't as packed, and CP didn't pimp it out
to the rich via VIP type structure. As well, its just a dump now pretty
much as well.

You don't walk. You are in a golf cart and they move you to a
different ride pretty quickly. He said we will probably be able to hit
about 50-60 rides. That will be plenty for me. Provide drinks. Will
report back but I am sure it will be over the top. It is effectively
7-9 days in 9 hours.
For someone who loves Roller Coasters I am good with it.
