Cedar Point '07 Project

I still think that it could be another Intamin rocket coaster. Yes, they already have one, but think of it like this. A park can have a wooden out-and-back style coaster (John Allen, etc) and a wooden twister (CCI, GCI, etc.). THey can have a rocket coaster like Dragster (height purpose), and possibly one like Stormrunner (the purpose of going upside down).

I hope your right. Rocket coasters are so for the win.

... somebody plays too many MMORPGs...

If Cedar Point is planning another launched Intamin coaster, I question their choice to make it red.

Welcome back, red train, how was your ride?!

I agree...the GP will never accept a second launched coaster with red track. I predict disaster!

-- end sarcasm --

THIS COASTER WILL LAUNCH HIGH INTO THE AIR THEN ZIG ZAG DOWNWARD FOR SOME HIGH SPEED GOUNDHUGGING FLY OVERS...EXPECT A 66 MPH LAUNCH AND A LENGTH CLOSING IN AT AROUND 3700 FT. *** Edited 6/13/2006 2:12:54 AM UTC by mike.s.***

Why are you yelling?

GROUNDHUGGING FLY OVERS?

Honey We Shrunk the Guests?

IT WILL FLY ABOUT 2-3 FT. OFF OF THE GROUND WHEN IN MID-ROLL, FLYING BY THE GROUND. I KNOW ALL OF THIS BECAUSE GOD GAVE ME A VISION

I hope God tells you to take you caps lock off soon! ;)

I once thought that God had given me a vision, then I realized my drink had been spiked by a dirty hippie. :) j/k

Yeah is Good!

Geez Moosh...did it occur to you that maybe God only uses caps since he is...ummm...God! LOL

I had a vision once that I thought came from God, it involved a casino....hence I am now agnostic. :)

Meanwhile, the Rita theory is looking more like a possibility to me.

Fever I really enjoy the Simpsons. It's just a shame that I am starting to LOOK like Homer.

I honestly think Screamscape may be onto something.

Just because of the signs posted around the construction zone, which is really giving out hints on what the coaster may be.

"We're going in a whole new direction" (could spin in different directions)
"Hold onto your spurs" (possibly meaning your shoes because you'll be floorless)
"Y'all up for some serious sidewinding" (cars placed on the sides of the track)

It may be some kind of new 4-D coaster by Intamin which would be similar to Arrow's X-style, including the trains... but would be on a fixed axis. The main concept would be just that you have no track above or below you.

When you put all those signs together for the hints, it seems to make sense. I think some of the other signs (I can't remember what they were) also make it seem to point to some kind of coaster where the trains are on the outside of the track.
Who says Cedar Point can't be bold & daring of which Intamin would try to put trains on the outside of the track? It would certainly garner a lot of attention, and possibly triumph X as the most original coaster out there.

I had a rollercoaster book given to me as a gift, and as I was drooling through it, it mentioned that Intamin was working on a 4D version. I'm at work and I can't remember the title of the book, but it was from late 2005/early 2006 and the authors last name was Hooper. Anyways, if that were true and CP were to get one, I think it would be blissfull. And I think that with all of the secrecy around this attraction, it will be grand in some way. I don't know that they would go through this trouble of keeping a 'small' coaster a secret - but who knows. This secrecy causes the media (and us enthusiasts) to stay focused on figuring it out.

I dunno Jack. Can't wait to find out thow.

I need to stop posting well tired. *** Edited 6/14/2006 4:02:25 PM UTC by TonyBlackjack***

Sorry about that, thought it was MY drink... ;)

gator, aka "filthy hippie"... :)

Please get me the name of the book and full author name. As a public Librarian, I can pull some strings to get it!

Does anyone know what all of the signs say?

Coasterb,

I was mistaken with the author. It's "Roller Coasters: A Thrill Seeker's Guide to the Ultimate Scream Machines" By Robert Coker - not Hooper. ; )

Here's a link to it at Barnes & Noble...
