CP questions...

When you get to the parking gates, stay right and go around the back of the park towards the hotels. Once you come around Mean Streak, you'll see a parking lot on your left. Park there, and walk under Magnum to enter the park. Stay near the back of the park for the first few hours while the crowd filters in, then when lines start to get bad in the back, move forward. You'll be moving against the crowd all day.

TTD has a completely different seat and bar then Force has. If you can't get into the force test seat, you may be able to on Dragster.

I think the best discounts are in the CP Getaway Guide. Request a brochure from their site, the coupons are in it. $9 off I believe.

Do they still offer a discount if you bring a specially-marked can of Pepsi or Mt. Dew (purchased from a nearby gas station)? They did last year, I believe.

You can also download the Getaway Guide from their site - the coupons are in there too...

THE LEFT! STAY TO THE LEFT to go around back to the Soak City parking lot. Be in the far left lane and use the left most toll booth. That will put you into the park by TTD and you could make that your first ride of the day. Then exit to the right toward Power Tower and around the corner by the Coasters Diner toward MF for your freeway stamp at 11.
