New park... Charmland!

Wow, Ensign...that haiku sucked! ;)

Oops! Guess that was more of a low coup.

Simply awesome. I was fully expecting a RickRoll, but this turned out to be even better. Well done, sir.

Just when I thought all the "-hawk"'s had been exhausted...

Oh, and the "I drove past Cedar Point to come to Charmland" line deserves some sort of award.

Now this is the kinda park I'd pay 20 dollars to park at, Buy 8 dollar drinks and buy a Q bot to see a real CEDAR.

Didn't see any pictures of swan lake but I wait three hours to ride the peddal boats.

Who's with me?

Chill, Im a big boy :) and it's nice to see a sence of humor on this board for a change.

Do they have GPS rentals there at this park? Or will they let me bring my own?

GPS, Call alerts, Q Bots and a personal server is included in the 299 daily price

Great april fool's gag. Where's the 450 ft tall launch coaster? I want a trash can or two!!!

STILL no queue shade?! Urgh!! :(

What's the rain operations policy?

I heard they charge to Geo Cache.

Looks like fun.

Did you see the new "ACE" discount at the bottom of the ticket page? They just added it.

I was on a plane all day yesterday. I had nothing to do with this.

My problem is, there is still no shade around most of the attractions! There are plenty of trees in the background, but very few near the actual rides! Just look at High Speed Thrill Ride. It must be, what, forty, fifty feet to the nearest tree? That's just ridiculous. "Charmland". Bah.

The one thing I will say is that the Antique Carousel looks like an absolute blast. No seat belts. No seat dividers. It's not like one of those wimpy modern carousels. If enough W-2 has been applied to the appropriate places, this thing ought to just fly!

I will certainly have to get to this park and check it out.

;)

At least the park has an Antique Carousel. It scores points for that alone, as well as the minimal restraints on all the rides. The place has personality, which is more than I can say for other concrete wastelands.

Charmland has great food
Brand-name fare at market rates!

Wow! Charmland is just the greatest park ever.

Word on the street is that Cedar Fair is looking to buy Charmland, so better enjoy the park while you can because it won't be in it's original, charming format very long. Secret plans leaked from Cedar Fair headquarters call for the removal of about 1000 pine trees. These are to be replaced with a custom grown, genetically altered, record breaking 400 foot tall Cedar tree, called "Behemoth"

According to the unnamed source from inside Cedar Fair, "our guests will be in awe of the height and magnitude of this tree, and it's branches will be so wide that the entire park will be shaded by it's reach."

"All the smaller pines had to be removed to expand the midway to accommodate the huge crowds we are expecting to come to sit under the Behemoth tree."

Cedar Fair is expected to end the "Free Sunscreen" perk, but the same unnamed source said that since Behemoth will shade the entire park, sunscreen is pointless. "While other parks may offer free sunscreen, they do not have Behemoth"!

You know Pete's secret information is hogwash. Not a single sentence ends with ON THE PLANET!

Amateur.

Another thing that steams me is there is no military weekday discount. Like don't our fighting men and women deserve an extra discount if they come on a Wednesday? To provide them with anything less is simply unpatriotic. Like, what are you going to do, deprive soldiers of seeing trees on their one week off from the war? Like, have you ever been to Iraq? Do you think there are any trees in Iraq? NO! There are no trees in Iraq, they've all been blown up. In fact, Iraq looks suspiciously like Gonchland, if you ask me (and I know you would if you could). Talk about being bombarded with sound and (flashing, firing, blinding) lights!

Neither is there a toddler military discount. Now I know there aren't that many toddlers in the military. But given the intense recruiting efforts required to maintain necessary levels in our armed forces, it's simply short-sighted on the part of Charmland not to have this category available, should an actual military toddler come to their gates.

My last question is, does the ACE discount come with or without gravy?

;)

Ha ha, so who is responsible for this.
