A place to talk about roller coasters and parks that have them. Everyone is welcome here to both learn and to celebrate these magnificent machines designed to scare you.

Here are some important resources:

  1. RCDB
  2. Thrill Data
  3. Coast2Coaster
  4. Terminology and Abbreviations

Images are welcome if they are of high quality and it doesn't get out of hand. Please use PostImages to upload your image and then use that link in the URL field of your post (other image sites are permitted but Post Images has the best policies and compatibility).

Some basic rules:

  1. Opinions, theories, and facts are all welcome – but be clear about what you’re saying.

  2. Back up facts with sources as much as possible

  3. No spam or sell-promotion. Linking to your own media or site is permissible only if it’s specifically related to a topic/post that someone else created.

  4. No photos or videos taken on the rides. This is dangerous and shouldn't be encouraged.

  5. Limit political discussion. When discussed it must be park related.

  6. No fictional coasters (models, no limits, planet coaster, etc)

  7. No posting personal information.

  8. No shaming of anyone. We all can continue to learn and not everyone knows everything -- and that's ok.

It looks like Cedar Fair is shaking up their passes again for 2024 but this one makes sense. Instead of having varied levels you basically have your gold pass and then the access to all parks is an add on option. If pricing remains similar this should simplify things while keeping it affordable.

For Cedar Point, Carowinds, and Kings Island these parks will have two choices of passes with Gold or Prestige but the add-on option remains the same even if you get the Prestige pass.

I wonder if this closes the trick of buying a platinum pass from Canada’s Wonderland for the exchange rate and activating at a different park first. I assume a gold pass with the add-on would first need to be used at the home park.

The thought crossed my mind but I feel like they now have a benefit to cross park activation because some that have KD as their home park may want the Prestige pass for CP, KI, and Carowinds which would force them to buy at the other park and would be a benefit to CF in selling a higher priced pass.

I'm anxious to see the whole announcement.... It's really confusing me that they dropped this before they roll out the new passes.
