Cedar Point adds new ride for 2001- Update

Since most people didn't belive me before... I searched and found proof.

Cedar Point is adding a new ride for the 2001 season. It is the prototype ejection seat from S&S... the one rumored to go in at Six Flags Magic Mountains. Construction has started and the ride will open by August 1.

Here is some construction pictures:

I know it is a S&S ride becasue I saw the S&S truck at Cedar Point the other day.

Also here is a picture and some information on the ride:

Yeah, I put a thread on here about this before the pics were taken. It got deleted. Cool pics.

They will be updated twice a week until the construction is finished. I hope to see some of the structures coming up next week.

Hey Andrew, I was looking at your website (its nice) and I read in the new for 2001 section that they put handles on the OTSR on Corkscrew. Is that true? If so, that's great. I was always holding on to the actual restraints (next to my head) and when it would turn and my head would bounce I would punch myself in the head! And it hurt too! *** This post was edited by FloridaCoasterRider on 7/7/2001. ***

Cool pics! I think that this will be a good addition to CP.
