Cedar Point OPENING SUNDAY 2017

[@andrewray4024]

Hey Coaster Bob! Thanks for putting us in the video! Top Thrill Clubster opened back up right after you left and we got a walk on.

[@CoasterBob62]

Yeah, I saw that they got TTC running again -- would have been nice to get a ride in. It was great to meet you guys. Thanks for the nice feedback...made my day!

[@Paneeks1960]

The black and white footage at the end was sublime. Top notch from start to finish Coaster Bob~ Rob/Boston

[@Paneeks1960]

Just watched this again Bob. It was even better on the second and third view. Your editing blows me away. Superb job~ Rob/Boston

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, Rob! I'm glad that you haven't grown tired of my stuff yet, even after multiple views.

[@restlessbohemian26]

Now that your video is up the season has officially begun!

[@fishtitan7135]

Yes, for me, the true rollercoaster season starts when CP opens! Woohoo! Yay, because summer isnt too far.

[@Paneeks1960]

Once again, the best coaster/park videos on the internet bar none. Superb footage and editing Bob. I look forward to the openers every year and you definitely did not disappoint. Wow, Mean Streak looks fantastic. A killer first drop. Thanks for breaking tradition and sharing this on such a stellar day. ~ Rob/Boston

[@val4030]

Paneeks1960 {Rob/Boston} the hill with the flag was the second drop. Says a lot about how insane the first drop will be!!

[@Paneeks1960]

Thanks a million for the info. I was just watching this video for the fifth time and I am just amazed at the footage that Bob took once again. Some of the hills/bends almost look impossible for the train to go over. I cannot wait to see it in operation. Thanks again Valravn CP~ Rob/Boston

[@CBLounge2112]

Thanks for getting me stoked with another AWESOME opening day vid, my wife and I will be arriving there Tuesday night at Breakers, can't wait for Wednesday morning!! Cheers Bob!!!

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, man - hope you have a great time!

[@bigjuice7020]

Great Video! I've been to Cedar Point so many times but after i moved to Florida. I miss the smell of Sandusky Lake, french fries, hearing loud screams, and just having a blast! It's really the small thing's you'll enjoy best at cedar point. Not the terrifying rollercoasters that will scare you! Best rollercoaster amusement park in the world!

[@jmlincolorado]

I look forward to seeing your work every year Bob. I really appreciate the time and effort you go to , to really make these videos special. Not sure if I will ever get to come back to Cedar Point since I am now in Colorado for the last 25 years or so but thanks to you I get to come time and time again. Signed, a BIG fan.

[@CoasterBob62]

The effort is worth it when I hear from nice folks like you every season -- thank you!

[@jpwcpa]

Excellent shots of the progress being made to RMC Mean Streak, CoasterBob! And it was nice to see some footage of the other coaster with a wooden framework that is very much in need of a new paint job, Gemini. Great work, as we all expected.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! Just wish they had both sides of Gemini working. That coaster was brand new when I started working at CP in 1978!

[@nicholasmeighen9150]

the new mean streak looks insane! great video

[@malinabilger166]

The Gender Bender I know right

[@markk7492]

Steel vengeance is actually the best coaster ever

[@jeremystreets9319]

These shots are truly incredible and I can't wait for your video of this year's opening day!

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! I hope to make it up there on the actual opening day this year, Saturday, not Sunday.

[@eccentricgamer4111]

I thought finishing my final exams would be the best thing that would happen today. But then I checked your channel and saw you've uploaded footage of CP's Opening Day! Awesome footage as usual!

[@CoasterBob62]

Great to hear -- thanks!

[@adamdragster]

boy I wish I was able to make it to the park on opening weekend last year. I would've loved to ride Top Thrill Cubster once!

[@evanscheerer4818]

Great video as always! Been watching for many years and I look forward to these videos every year! You always have the best footage across Cedar Fair parks, keep it up man!

[@CoasterBob62]

Great to hear -- thanks!

[@lgadillon5545]

i am completely in love with Cedar Point... sadly we are going one time because the last two years we had season passes... my mom said we might go on halloweekend

[@emilygriffin5077]

Awesome video! Going on the 27-29 of this month. We go every year. Very excited!!

[@jjshow9794]

Hi there! In a couple days, I will be experimenting the park for the first time! I'm exited to do all these topsy-turnies! Today, I felt like searching up a tour to get a little already used to it, I am exited to see which is better- KennyWood or Cedar Point, I think Cedar Point just by looking at this!!! Please wish me luck to like it! (And so I won't die)

[@Brandolino-ll9zf]

On an RMC note... Pausing this video on 0:28 gives us a view of the track going up to the newly renovated and former 2nd hill of Mean Streak, which to me doesn't seem to line up with the unfinished lift hill? Could the now RMC'd and completed hills be following a possible launch, could the height of the lift hill be taller or different than anticipated and estimated? Crazy to think about how much of this layout we're not seeing, and how much more there could be still to go. Definitely pumped for this one, I'm betting on Cedar Point and Cedar Fair outdoing themselves with this one for 2018.

[@themeparksvisionart]

More fantastic video again! love your use different angle roller coaster stand out and different type video brilliant, I miss cedar point

[@CoasterBob62]

A lot has changed since you last visited Cedar Point. Thank you for posting your fantastic footage of the English amusement parks. Really great work!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Hi CoasterBob, only discovered your channel a few months back but I really enjoy sitting through your CP videos, thank you for so many of them and I hope to say hello at CoasterMania!

[@CoasterBob62]

Hello ClubPBE - great to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed my CP videos. I grew up in Sandusky and that park is by far my favorite. I just checked out your channel and subbed -- great stuff! It would be cool to meet up at CoasterMania and have you narrate some of my video! :D Take care.

[@yourexperienceguide]

CoasterBob62 Thank you, really appreciate you subbing! I’ll let you know if we manage to get tickets for CoasterMania, it’d be an honour to say hello and have a chat 😀

[@KeithFox]

You're getting great at those continuous angle shots holding steady. Really enjoy your series of videos.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! Having a camera with great stabilization helps.

[@RideAllNight5]

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

[@barsaf9989]

Awesome vid Bob. I just got back from my first trip to cedar point and my first time riding roller coaster. It was freaking awesome! Valravn is my favorite. I cant get over that 90 degree drop lol. It's funny how this is only a few days apart from me being there. I look forward to seeing more sweet content. Subscribed.

[@CoasterBob62]

Wow -- your first coaster -- awesome! Valravn is one of my favorites. I think my first coaster was Blue Streak (I was too scared to ride Mine Ride.) Thanks for the sub!

[@gabekujda8953]

Amazing quality and great video! Keep up the excellent work my friend.

[@CoasterBob62]

You got it -- thanks!

[@Coasterfreak1456]

Great Job Bob, Beautiful video!

[@heidireinhart9575]

Another amazing video!

[@StormChasersofOhio]

Sadly wasn't able to make it to opening weekend but I'll be there next Monday 😎

[@danielj.glowny4108]

Now that's what I call a great Video !

[@Kodachrome40]

Great video! I’m hoping to visit Cedar Point Summer of 2019.

[@kev492001]

Nice video Coasterbob62! Loved the Top Thrill Dragster part, 3 - 2 - 1 - GO!

[@meredithwallace4043]

IM SO DAMN EXCITED TO COME HERE ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY IVE BEEN DAY DREAMING ABOUT THIS FOR THE PAST MONTH

[@vonniebeth]

Such a great video with incredible footage! I start working at CP next week (because I'm at school with exams until Friday) and I am so excited! I'll be at the Cadillac Cars. I don't know if I'll be going by Vonnie or my birth name yet, but I have dark hair, wear glasses, and always smiling. I hope I get to meet you this summer!!! (:

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks, Vonnie! I'll make sure to stop by and say hi this summer, and put your smiling face in my next video if you'd like! :) Good luck with exams :P

[@heartbreakridgeman99]

Dude I can't wait to ride I'm going there this Saturday

[@kaileemerrills4880]

I've been waiting for you to upload! You always get the best footage! Thanks so much!Ps:I'll be working Maverick from June to the end of the season so stop by and say hi if you happen to be there. My name is Kailee :)

[@snoopyhowlgaming2541]

I might be visiting CP twice this year. One May 19, and (maybe) sometime in June or July. Maybe see you there!

[@kaileemerrills4880]

Definitely stop by! I love meeting other coaster enthusiasts! My first day is June 7 and I'm so excited.

[@CoasterBob62]

Great to hear from you, Kailee! I'll look for you next time I'm there, which will be in June. Thanks for watching!

[@kaileemerrills4880]

Thanks! It'd be awesome to meet you! :)

[@kkcuty46]

Aly and Kenzie channel I will 😊

[@Petalsforaustin]

great video, as usual🙂👍

[@mason0448]

Awesome awesome shots!

[@SeanFlaharty]

Nice! I love the new cam!

[@CoasterBob62]

Thanks! Yeah, I love my new camera. I still haven't utilized all of its features.

[@SeanFlaharty]

Can't wait to see the results!

[@kyleleaman]

Coasterbob, have you ever thought of offering photo/film tours? Or posting a tip video? Your videos always showcase your eye for location, composition, and movement. I think a lot of potential coaster enthusiasts could learn and grow a lot from your insight and experience.

[@CoasterBob62]

Thank you! I've thought about doing a video on how I put together a video, but like like many ideas swimming round in my brain, it just sits on the shelf. For me, they're much harder to put together than these videos. I do answer most questions posted in the comments section as well as personal messages. I like to chat with fellow KZbinrs I meet at the parks and exchange ideas with them. Thanks for your suggestions!

[@kyleleaman]

I feel ya. My shelf is full of those too! Take care Bob, thanks for sharing your passion.

[@CMH-aviation]

i heard saturday wasnt much of a opening day and like half the rides were closed because of the chilly windy weather

[@gissneric]

I didn't even know they changed it to Top Thrill Cubster. I thought it was a junior/kid version of Dragster.

[@TheMICHIGANSFINEST42]

Nice video once again!!!

[@noahb2804]

How busy does it usually get during opening weekend and what's like the average wait times for the good coasters?

[@DaveMan1227]

can't wait to stay at the breakers again to get up close mean streak views! although it'll be when RMC streak is done and operational

[@Sonarcer]

I'm going this Sunday!

[@peanutbutter2732]

Um whats the song that u were playing for the vid cause i really wanna know plz tell me

[@bigdogthepirate]

What kind of camera(s) does CoasterBob62 use?

[@CoasterBob62]

The main camera I used in this video is a Sony FDR-AX53. I also used a GoPro Hero5.

[@thisarobbry3226]

im so scared to ride top thrill dragster. any advice?

[@ddrusa]

Did they had a make over

[@Zrj19]

Does TTD how more up time or down time

[@adamdragster]

was magnum closed all day?

[@stormgirl09]

"I hate everythiiiinng..." lol what a somber song to play at an amusement park.....O.o

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

11:53 Top Thrill Dragster/Cubster! Wow they changed the name. I can't believe Cedar Point hasn't forgotten about the bet to Six Flags Great America. Also Why is Magnum XL 200 closed?

[@CoasterBob62]

Someone told me that Magnum hadn't passed inspection yet, but I can't confirm that.

[@vortexluigirosalina5557]

CoasterBob62 inspection huh?

[@MaximusMC1011]

Millennium Force looks a little sluggish to me. Wasn't like that before opening weekend.

[@nickdeluca2160]

When is it opening do you know?

[@purplechicken86]

Is witch's wheel fun?

[@SaintsAndSoldiers17]

going in late july cant wait

[@PlaysPlaystation]

At what wind does the rides usually close i wanna go on Wednesday but the wind is gonna be 18mph is that to high

[@CoasterBob62]

WindSeeker and Sky Ride will probably be closed, but just about everything else should be running.

[@PlaysPlaystation]

ty

[@jaredsheinberg]

Windseeker is closed due to high winds? But shouldn't the ride seek them?

[@CMH-aviation]

my name is me Lol. They are on the lake so high winds can cause it and dragster to close

[@nickdeluca2160]

was it crowded

[@gregappa9545]

It would be cool if you would do an interactive vlog for once. Not filming on the rides but just like "okay now we're here at the subway because my kid wanted a $20 sub".

[@nickdeluca2160]

Whys magnum closed @coasterbob62

[@CoasterBob62]

I can't confirm this, but I heard that it hadn't passed inspection yet, not unusual so early in the season.

[@Brandolino-ll9zf]

Heard the same. Thought is crossing my mind that Magnum has it's days numbered.

[@oziriscoaster9718]

Great Vidéo !

[@CoasterBrain]

I the shot at 2:40 is really cool

[@malinabilger166]

I'm going Monday!

[@cosmicdasher1569]

Awww man I wanna go

[@OakViewFilms]

What music is this?

[@CoasterBob62]

The opening tune is "Surfing Llama" by Bird Creek from the KZbin Audio Library.

[@djshuffl3r]

13:43 Thank God lolol

[@michaelglass4701]

LOOOOOOOOOVE Your video.

[@CoasterBob62]

Glad you looooved it, and thanks for your likes :)

[@squidwardshouse5431]

The ride is called Windseeker, but closes due to high winds... Excellent name choice. 😂😂😂

[@jjshow9794]
