    • ...or their FAQs. It's important to know there will be no blockout dates in 2022.
    • just to note: I purchased a brand new Gold Season Pass during the sale, and added on Dining Pass, and drink pkg. at the recommendation of someone *who would know* I did NOT renew my current pass, but instead bought new passes, and we will activate those later this year. was informed that was "the safest way to do it" to ensure that any renewal didn't override my current pass and wipe out our current dining plan (which is with all park add on). so yeah, different situation as we have passes, not memberships.    but the solution might be to just buy a new membership?  or keep the current membership, and buy a new pass?, and then in 2026, cancel current membership?
    • It's been pouring rain, all day today. Haven't had this much fall, in well over three weeks. Badly needed, as we have forest fires on our Vancouver Island, needing attention i.e. RAIN. Hopefully that`s happening now. But, I was planning to hit Playland, the very last day (i.e. today) of it`s current season. But a no go, from me. So here are the photos I took this past Wednesday at the park. Add to that a 'deal' they announced with Two-For-One admissions available. And at my arrival at the park, the ticket kiosks were already shut down, with the "Park Is Full" sign posted outside. It was very scarce with people out front, but once I got in side .... it was amazing how packed it was! The only ride I went on, the West Coast Wheel, took a half hour to board. Unheard of, in previous park visits! Pretty shocking, and I remember that PNE visitors to Playland don't have lineups like these.  Anyway... Tomorrow is Opening Day of The Pacific National Exhibition (PNE to you and me). There's a small chance of rain, for a short period of time. Hopefully... It looked very non-busy in the entry plaza, and not seeing the "Park Full" signs there, too WTF??? And that family in the middle there, are at the end of the Swinger queue! Eep. Coaster was an immediate no-go, from where I saw it. Huge lineup for The Beast. I have no idea where the queue started! Whee. Noted. A look at how the new Amphitheater construction is going. Another view, from another angle. My one ride for the day, there. Wierd AtmosFEAR shot. Lineups everywhere! The Twins looking good, from here. PNE stuff popping up here and there. The big Sanctuary Park is behind all this. I still have no idea ..... A Coaster shot, with the single train in operation. (Sorry I might not be riding it, any more.) Even that kids' drop tower in back, had a huge lineup. I mean, really??? Enterprise UP! One more shot of it, for today. Bought the regular size popcorn. A dollar cheaper than large. And it fills the bucket with 'extra' to enjoy. Nice. I was not expecting this, at the Triple O's. Too - many - people. So I skipped this. And one last Coaster shot for today. Followed by a Starbucks visit, which was strangely empty compared to ...'that park'. <shudders> PNE OPENING DAY TOMORROW!!! 
    • Thanks for the report. I think Siren's Curse would have had a larger drop if it was actually meant for Cedar Point. They always go for the record breakers. I agree about Breakers. At face value, it's way overpriced. The location however, is priceLESS, in my opinion. Truly "a place like no other." The rooms though... eh. I went the first year of the upgrade. They were plain and small, but a nice place to be. This time around, ours was really showing its age with plenty of wear and places that could have used a deeper cleaning job. I wouldn't want CP to be my home park. Having it not be a destination would make it less special, in my opinion. There's an advantage of having the mediocrity of Six Flags Saint Louis as my home park, because it makes places like CP and KI feel that much better and worth the trip. It sounds like you had an awesome time. I'm glad you got to experience moments like that with your mom. That's special for sure. Cheers
    • even if she didn't want to ride much, it's amazing you got her on Siren's Curse, Gatekeeper, Valraven, and Maverick (the biggest and "scariest" coasters in the park for non-enthusiasts). there is ZERO chance I'd get my bf on Siren's (that tilt), GK (hanging off the sides with nothing underneath?  no way), or Valraven (looking straight down?  nope, he'd faint). so great job on that, and glad you enjoyed it.
