Cedar Point first timer route help

Started by giga-or-bust on Jun 18, 2026 6:10 AM

Trying to not mess up my first trip. Is rope dropping Steel Vengeance still the move or is that outdated advice?

Hard disagree. If a ride has no strong moment after the drop then I am not putting it top tier.

The Smiler is messy in a good way. I dont need it to be elegant, I need it to be weird.

I rode it in the back and it was way better than the front. Row matters more than people admit.

Floorless trains made sense back then. Now they feel more like marketing, but I still enjoy the open feeling. Also sorry but that take is wild.

Nah, smooth doesnt automatically mean boring. I hear that all the time and it feels like people just want pain lol.

Wing coasters are vibes. Maybe not the strongest rides but they look insane from the midway.

This thread is getting spicy but honestly thats why I like forums more than comment sections.

Skip passes are worth it only when you traveled far. For my home park I just come back another day.

I think B&M hypers are comfort food coasters. Not always the best meal, but always a good one.

The photo angle from outside the cobra roll is usually money. You get train, track, and faces all in one shot. I know folks wont like that but whatever.

LSM launches are smoother but hydraulic launches had violence in a good way.

Millennium Force is not an airtime machine and thats fine. Its about speed and scale, why is that bad?

The best coaster photos have people in the train reacting. Empty train shots feel kinda lifeless.
