The early start is actually a very good thing, as you get to see the park open as you walk through to visit the various locations of the coasters. Then you can still have the rest of the day at the park. The first ride of the day is great - imagine, two rides, back-to-back, in the front row of Griffon. FANTASTIC! Highly recommend this tour.

However, you don't get to go behind the scenes, and they cost around 120-200 a person. This is something I would REALLY want to do, however, and the price seems fair, considering that you get to ride the coasters with just your party. Plus, standing on the top of griffon must be amazing. It would be awesome if this caught on with Cedar Point and you could take the elevator to the top of TTD.

Worth every penny! Very informative. Lots of fun. Standing at the top of Griffon is the best. Took a lot of great pictures. Highly recommend it. I just did the tour at BGW on Aug. 8th.

We may see these special tours showing up at other parks if Busch finds success with them. I forgot to mention in the post that the tours are before the parks open. For example, the BGW park starts its tours at 8 AM. Good point jjhobo. We may see these special tours showing up at other parks if Busch finds success with them.

It shouldn't really slow down the running of the coasters too much and will appeal to a lot of people such as international tourists and coaster lovers. If this is a success I would expect other parks to follow suit.
