Since this will be my first trip to Cedar Point, how many of the rides do you reckon i can squeeze in during one day? Rekcon you can do all the major rides there in one day? Even if not, im gonna give it a go  |
Cedar Point should be easy to do all if it don't rain like it did last year. The rides are quick and loading and leaving the stations. |
The park may be big but all rides and attractions are do-able in a day. We found one of the longest waits was for Disaster Transport (maybe 40 mins) although those that got it in early didn't have to wait as long.

Yeah, you should be able to do all the coasters in one day and Disaster Transport was not worth the wait anyway... Plus we should have ERS on Dragster and maybe one other coaster?? Having said that, I have never been in the middle of the kids holidays before so it may be busier!!!

Yeah, I was going to add that bit about it not being worth the wait. Gotta grab a front seat on TTD again and make sure I get to be in the same train as Pete & Lisa (almost guaranteed rollbacks!)

Cedar Point reckon it will be no busier than when we normally visit, it will just be more families rather than groups of teenagers in 1000 yellow school buses!

Nev must have relented to let you back on this trip Pete.
That means I wont be able to sit next to Lisa now.

Pete has now found out what happens when you "force" a black stone on somebody else,(but he did it so well everybody thought Nev picked it himself). Now Gareth has the luck to sit with Lisa whilst Pete travels in the luggage rack, still at least he is on the trip.

Ermmm, that is assuming Pete is actually allowed on the bus in the first place!

Thanks to all the Club members who have responded to me in relation to add-ons and extensions of their trip for USA 2010. I'm rushing around at the moment trying to sort out lots of problems for passengers (thanks to our crew members recent vote). And then I remembered my other important group of passengers - Club Members!!! I would just like to remind those people who are going on the trip that if you were thinking of extending your stay (even if it’s for one or two days), then I can help. I'm sure you wouldn't want to miss out on the fun and games that Toronto has to offer. So why rush back to the hubbub of working life - take the extra day or two and have some fun. And if you contact me within the next few days I may even be able to sort you a very special deal! Please let me know as soon as you can if I can help.
Note: Flights are filling fast so if you don’t act quick, I can’t guarantee what you may want!

Does this mean you need reminders from people you've not yet got back to Gareth?

Earned a few brownie points today with my good lady. Her favorite film of all time - The Sound of Music - is coming to Woking Theatre after its West End stint. This theatre production featured on BBC program 'How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?'
I have managed to book tickets for July 10th, just 2 weeks before we fly to America so hopefully will keep me in her good books.
p.s. she is really good and understanding anyway. For the last 18 years I have been away at least one weekend a month Kart Racing and now with my new hobby will be away again on a regular basis. It 's really great that Molly is so supportive. (We 1st went out together 39 years ago today) |

She will certainly enjoy the show as the lead singer (Maria") Connie,
actually comes from my area
In other words she used to live very close to Megafobia
(as in only a couple of miles)

Not at all matey. I just wanted to remind people that they can still amend their dates if they hadn't made their minds up as I have a limited time left to make any changes

Hi everyone
Please help BA Guru by letting him know if you need any upgrades, add-ons or differnt flights as soon as possible. I can't start sorting out the coaches until we know which flights people are on.
Many thanks,
Andy
