Love Cedar Point, the atmosphere is just terrific and the rides are unmatched anywhere else in the country

[@rabooey]

[@nickpoff1739]

Thank you for a superb video, Coaster Bob! Much appreciated.

[@Coasterfreak1456]

amazing, thank you for this great insight Bob. Your videos always make it fun to look at! I do not know if I will ever go to Cedar Point, but druch your videos I feel sometimes as if I were there myself. Greetings from Germany!

[@iHemme14]

I get to go in mid June like every year!!! CANNOT wait for GateKeeper!!!!! Thanks for the upload, Bob.

[@NeVoEvOL]

Great Video! Thanks for putting it together! Going to be at Cedar Point in two weeks!

[@Taz31402]

Going there on Saturday cant wait!!!First ride im going on is the Gatekeeper.Keep up the great videos coaster bob.

[@CoasterBob62]

I wasn't paying attention to that opening day, but I'm assuming they were running three trains.

[@kellonwheelz_66]

Great video! We're going next Wednesday and I'm so looking forward to the thrills - including waiting 2 hours in line for Gatekeeper!

[@unccrazygirl3]

Love the shot at 6:40! Great demonstration that the park has something for everyone!

[@CoasterBob62]

Always great to hear from you guys in Germany!! I'll certainly post some more videos this summer to help you experience what it's like to be in the park.

[@300zxjake]

I loved how you showed dragsters launch. That was awesome!

[@imhotep856]

i cant wait to go on this in august!!!!! making a trip to kennywood, cedar point and kings island...gonna make it over 100 coasters i've been on!!!!!! wooo hoooo!!!

[@DanielCoz]

Looks like a fun day! Canada's Wonderland is my local park but I'd love to explore cedar point!

[@supersmashmaster43]

Same

[@fdoelmand]

Finaly, ive waited sooooo long on this amazing video :D

[@lcarroll632]

I was at Cedar Point 2 weekends ago. I sure miss it already. It's a family tradition to go every year regardless of the 3 hr drive

[@TH3ShawshankRedemption]

I was there today and last Wednesday. Last Wednesday was too hot. Today was PERFECT weather! Love your videos man! Are you the same guy that rides the Mean Streak over and over?!?!

[@mikefm4]

coasterbob i love your videos man!!! this was so well done, great job man please keep em comin! i was just there last thursday with my gf for the first time since i was a kid. i live 45 mins away from CP and couldnt tell you why it took me so long to revisit. but im hooked all over again! your vids will keep me entertained until next summer. take care bud

[@CoasterBob62]

The left side is pretty cool because of the way you enter the keyholes. Otherwise, any seat is fine with me.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, Lisa. You girls will love GateKeeper!

[@RadioRiders]

Gatekeeper looks so f*@*@*@ cool! Great video as ever Bob!

[@BostonBruinsRule101]

Hey! Please answer this question CoasterBob62, if not anyone else. I'm going this Friday and Saturday. When I booked and bought tickets + Fast Lane, the forecast was clear. Now, it says Friday will be thunderstorms with rain, but some periods of sun. A total of 6 hours of sun, to be precise. Saturday is calling for a thunderstorm all day with no sun. What can I expect out of my trip? What rides will be open, and will I still leave satisfied (Maverick, MF, TTD and Gatekeeper, few times each)?

[@tomcownie6266]

bob im going to cedar point next summer and i was wondering do u think i could get onall the roller coasters if i get a fast lane

[@ProChoiceJesus]

3:10. Wow! Perfect sync of Blue Streak's train & Gatekeeper's train in the same shot, with Blue Streak's turn even nicely centered in the GK inversion. You should capture that, it might make a really nice still. The new and the old. An old favorite & a new favorite! Awesome video! Out of curiosity, what were Gatekeeper's lines running approximately?

[@VolleyBallGirls1999]

Nice video, great footage! Im going on July 13th! Im excited! :) Hope you had fun!!

[@LeadWolfmaster]

I always look forward to these videos! I finally get to go back this summer! Are there usually allotments of people who buy fast passes?

[@CoasterBob62]

I wish you all the best! Hopefully you'll have as much fun filming as I do.

[@KeyurPatel1022]

i haven't ridden it yet but im excited to! and in this video is seems very slow. is it not that fast if a ride?

[@robdkjn10]

Coasterbob does the top thrill drag have shoulder restrains?

[@elijahvlogs19]

I'm going for my first time on the 18th and I wanted to know if there are any must do rides.

[@dastromley]

Still upset that after all my years as a coaster lover, I still haven't made it here yet! Maybe next summer :)

[@mrmj103]

Ok guys I need your help. I have a choice between cedar point. Or Busch gardens in Orlando and Universal studios. Which one you think I should go for? Please help!

[@craigmoyer3531]

Cedar Point should hire you to make their official videos or like a Cedar Point movie. Great shots of all the rides and done with park noises and not some unfitting song, which I think is great. Amazing video

[@ESPIONAGE1974]

MAN was it chilly!! when we finally got our passes verified and entered the gates, it was already after 9. the line just to GET in line for the gatekeeper was all the way back near the front gate. Get this...we started walking along the line, and saw the Plinko game that was set up. on my FIRST try, I won a ticket to go straight to the front of the line :D

[@chicobokrisp]

thanks for the video bob, how was the line? what was the wait? I'm going this saturday but I don't wanna wait in line for three hours like I did for the maverick...

[@johnandspencer]

Was the line for the Dragster shorter than usual because of the gatekeeper?

[@ElectricSuperhero]

Whats ur fave ride? Mines Top Thrill Dragster!

[@TRTigeressRants]

CoasterBob, in your opinion, what is the best roller coaster at Cedar Point? Or at least your favorite?

[@fonsiividal]

Im coming here soon this summer so exited cant wait to ride this

[@grifkag]

This man deserves more subs.

[@colbyaubert99]

i was here friday before opening till monday night awesome trip wish i couldve met u

[@breezyxo98]

whats your opinion on the maverick? i dont like big hills and the first drop doesnt seem to high

[@CoasterBob62]

The line is probably going to be fairly long all season, especially on a Saturday. I didn't line up for it on opening day. I had already ridden it several times on media day.

[@greetrigh28]

CoasterBob how many trains were they running?

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! It would certainly be a dream job for me, that's for sure.

[@donwilsonsr.5238]

cant wait to go later on this summer....this park has now become the best park in the world

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, dude. Maybe next year, your park will have something new, huh?

[@donwilsonsr.5238]

i have a question you can answer between cedar point and six flags magic mountain which one is better my cousin and uncle have been to sfmm and they liked it at first more than are home park cp but now that cp has built this they say cp is better my cousin who loves x2 says that this blows x2 away but i would like to know which park do you think is better

[@TopThrillCedarPoint]

Finally going back tomorrow and the next day. Thanks to you though, the time between trips doesn't seem so long. I hope to do what I've been planning for years: recording my own footage instead of just uploading Cedar Point's. I'll have to take some of your making-anything-look-good style into mind... but I won't be near as good haha. Keep up everything.

[@VolleyBallGirls1999]

Thanks! I had an AMAZING time! It was pretty crowded but we got fastlane so it wasnt to bad.

[@ryangimson14]

Im going to opening day with my fellow boraders. About how long are the lines and would I need to but a fastlane pass?

[@kendalln9653]

It depends most roller coaster are like 3 hours and thrill rides like maxair is up to 2 hours it's worth the wait but if you want to get on every single ride then you shoul get the fast lane p.s. Your first ride should be the maverick it's awesome ! Lol

[@ryangimson14]

Kendall Puckett Thank you! Looked at the weathr doday. It calls for rain and possible t-storms. Hoping that will not happen..

[@MapleCraftt]

i went on GateKeeper last summer and it was AWESOME

[@kaunasprince]

Nice video. It almost makes you feel like you're there. Looks chilly though, was it?

[@adamdragster]

i was at the park on opening day 2013. great day, however, so many rides broke down on me. the line for gatekeeper foiled my plan too.

[@restlessbohemian26]

Summer is official - THANKS BOB!

[@Joedog300]

Bob you are a wonderful cenaphotographer

[@4evernluv1]

Awesome.....gotta get my tickets ASAP.

[@JonGrundl]

Why weren't they filling the back car of Dragster?

[@foundproductions69]

Do you think it will be crowded on a sunday in early June

[@CoasterBob62]

No, it has a lap bar and seatbelt, similar to Millennium Force.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! No, I'm not the Mean Streak guy, although I do like to ride it quite a bit.

[@MegGreco]

Have you been to EVERY cedar point-owned park in the u.s?

[@CoasterBob62]

I like it, although it took me awhile to learn how to ride it without getting whiplash. It doesn't have big hills...even the first drop isn't very big...but it's fast and has a lot of tight turns.

[@WJGProductions]

Sucks i won't be getting Fast Lane tomorrow, but hope the lines aren't too bad

[@CoasterBob62]

My favorite is still Millennium Force. It's very fast and smooth and that's the way I like my coasters.

[@CoasterBob62]

We decided to call it a day once the storm started moving in, but then went back in around 9pm just for the heck of it. Should've checked out those coasters!

[@veoozo]

Did you stay at a resort?

[@maryshurman2285]

Going to cedarpoint on July 26. excited!!

[@Candyland48439]

Going August 8th and 9th :) staying in sandcastle suits!!!! I get to get in a hour early ;) omg I can't wait

[@CoasterBob62]

Millennium Force is my favorite.

[@adamdragster]

Top Thrill Dragster is my favorite! Now that Mean Streak is gone, is Steel Vengeance your favorite now?

[@lambo2441]

Man Gatekeeper was awesome! Maverick is still my favorite though.

[@ashertt0]

Going this summer again can't wait !!

[@cmweber1999]

I'm goin next week SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

[@CoasterBob62]

That's it for now. I'll have more coming up in June.

[@iAnnabae]

I haven't been to cedar point since May 30th 2013 Im going back this year though :D

[@mikefm4]

congrats on being the smartest man alive. we all thank you for your intellectual insight.

[@jackallen8719]

gonna be there august 1st and 2nd, excited!!!!!

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! Yes, it was chilly that day...even worse the next day.

[@ihatemadmoe]

Wow this place looks like fun, I'm just worried that I would be stuck in lines the whole time.

[@gorygnome]

best ride ever!!!!!!!!!!!! so smooth!!!

[@matthewb2531]

I Live 45 mins away im so happy to live close to cedar point!

[@TheCrawdaddy029]

11:20 So we meet again mavrick. You were the one that ended my day 3 years ago but not this time. I shall ride up and reign supreme.

[@adnanfakhouri8668]

Just rode the gatekeeper today for the first time is was basically a walk-on ride

[@hannahmarye164]

Going next weekend (: super excited.

[@CoasterBob62]

Close enough :) and thanks.

[@kurtwetzel154]

For me its a tie between Millennium Force and Maverick. You have to ride in the front seat on both to get the full experience. Same goes for Top Thrill Dragster but its too short to be my favorite.

[@LasEnchiladas]

Going in August!!!!! So excited!!!! :-)

[@allend807]

looks like a horrible opening day weather wise, reminds of last year when i went in October u going to put more videos or was this all the footage.

[@CoasterBob62]

I'll pretend I didn't hear that last question :) I'm kind of used that weather up there......in October! At least the sun popped out for a few minutes. Sunday was even worse.

[@R3AP3R811]

cant wait for coastermania! be riding gatekeeper with little wait while i can before park opens(:

[@Gibsonburgman]

Who the heck is the guy at 9:25 on the segway? Is an employee at the park or something??

[@CoasterBob62]

I had a great time, thanks! Hope you do too...it'll be pretty crowded! :P

[@CoasterBob62]

You're welcome - hope you have a great time!

[@heyitsmaggiexxo]

dose it matter its a coster

[@iReviews0802]

The track right after the launch on TTD sways a lot!

[@jrandjanet]

Going in 2 weeks! My son is finally tall enough to ride everything in the park. Last time we went a seagull took a massive dump in my hair, hoping that does not happen again.

[@duanereyhl5200]

Awesome video

[@CoasterBob62]

As long you credit me, go ahead! Thanks for asking.

[@restlessbohemian26]

No contest - Cedar Point is worlds ahead of Magic Mountain. The only thing that compares are their roller coaster collections. Cedar Point has atmosphere, history, live shows, good and great food. Not to mention tons of rides and things to do beyond the roller coasters. Another big difference is operations. I ride 30 to 40 rides on a trip to Cedar Point and have never been on every roller coaster at Magic Mountain (let alone the other rides) in one day. The park is a train wreck.
