Have you ridden a Toboggan?

The pass being sold at specific locations for a $10 discount is not unheard of...but to think that somehow something would be sold at a $60 discount is ludicrous.
Hmm, so it was ludicrous when I bought my IOA/USF annual pass (with a regular $159 pricetag) for $99 this year? That's what, exactly a $60 savings, no?

Joe,

Where did you get that discount? from IOA/USF or a local grocery store?

AAA. But what is your point? His question was not out of the ordinary. While I think he could have searched a bit harder, I don't think the response you gave was necessary. He seems to be new to the whole park thing (only been reading posting to CBuzz for about six months) and I'd be more willing to cut him a little slack.

There seems to be a strong condescending tone from a few posters here lately, and I wish it would go. Everyone was new to this hobby at one point, let's not scare them off with all our "knowledge." A little helpful attitude goes a long way.

JC, who also says "search a little harder next time, please!" :)

Joe,

My original response was not very argumentative, only when CUBlink "slammed" me, did my tone take on a harsh tone.

Well, I would hope a person could deduce (that is to arrive at as the result of reasoning with logic) that something that Cedar Point is selling for $149 will not be available ANYWHERE for $89. The pass being sold at specific locations for a $10 discount is not unheard of...but to think that somehow something would be sold at a $60 discount is ludicrous.

Ludicrous, maybe...But down here you can get a season pass to SFoG for only 49 dollars at publix. Not to mention a one day pass for 23 dollars. Both are nearly 50% off the regular price. So no the question was not stupid

I'm going to chime back in.

Yes we were all new at one point. Hell.. I consider myself to be a rookie. But when I want to know something, I go to the source. It only seems like common sense to me. The information is presented to inform potential visitors. If I came across as a jerk, it is only because the original answer was common sense and could have been found with no park knowledge

In regards to reduced passes, I would certainly be asking about them especially if I knew I could knock off half of the price. Good luck to the bargain shoppers.

I don't know where you learned math, CUBlink, but $49 is nowhere "nearly 50% off" of $57.75. Check SFoG's season pass page...

My apologies the prices go up as the season goes on. However it is true that that $23 one day pass iis almost 50% off.

I couldn't agree more. This is supposed to be a place to share knowledge and ideas. If you don't have something positive to add, don't post.

I'm friendly!!! I just send some flames back to the flamers. I am not by any means a coaster know-it-all so I like to ask questions. I love the response I get on this board (insert sarcasm). Thanks to everyone willing to help out and not look for a reason to flame people. It's rather childish.

cub thats good. and im not a know it all eather i love to come here and find out things i dont know and maybe make a few new friends.

Back to the original subject. CP was slow by it's standards when we were there on a Monday last June. 23 min for MF. 15 min for Wicked Twister. 18 min for Raptor at the 3 PM peak.
