A little extra, yes, but not almost the same cost as the park admission price.

I'd be more interested in purchasing a ticket to skip a single ride's line once.

I would encourage people that don't like them to give it a try. Visiting a theme park is so much less stressful when you don't have to wait in line for hours or rush around the park to beat the crowds to the major attractions.

Skyrush looks beautiful to me, even though I'm not a fan of bright yellow. Can't wait to ride it someday!


A bit off topic, but since it was mentioned, this is incorrect. CP has announced Fast Lane for this year:

Favorite element on SkyRush is the Stengel Dive!

Beautiful shot.
I hope this path will still be accessible once the ride is open.

Guess I didn't here the rumors about the Cedar Point version (I haven't been keeping up with the latest coaster news, it being the off season and all).

People won't climb over, unless they want to be covered in their own body parts. The fence is barbed-wire. The place where those photos are taken from is literally a few feet from the park property, on a sidewalk along a public road.

All of my photos are taken legally from outside the park. All the shots that I take, anyone can snap a photo from. ;)

Next time only take pictures where your lens is not positioned in betweens the gaps in the fence, so someone can bitch about that. :lmao:

It's not a rumor, the park already announced it.

I wish they would make Street Fighter Donkey.
