Cedar Point '07 Project

Now wouldn't it be cool if that ended up being the exact lay-out! :)

No, it wouldn't. Who wants to go into alternating-direction heartlines?

Someone who enjoys bleeding from the ears?

I just want to see these "corkscrews incloodng a helix."

Whats wrong with them? Unless of course they are really close. I rode Volcano with no problems besides the one passenger with a language problem.

^Lets just say there is a reason most coasters dont have them.

I heard it's going to be called; "Blazing Saddles"

Woah, that would be awesome :).

Just think of the marketing:

Blazing Saddles: The Ride
Blazing Saddles: The T-shirt
Blazing Saddles: The Coffee Mug...

Youre sending Yogurt into a tizzy ;).

Anyways back to Blazing Saddles, best Mel Brooks movie out there and that catchy title theme would make a great station music song.

History of the World, in my opinion is an equal to Blazing Saddles. :)

It doesn't have to have inversions to make it a good ride. I hope that it's like Rita.

You can't tell me for 1 second that the track on rita isn't the EXACT same as the ones seen on pointbuzz. I vote for a new layout of a Rita style coaster.

SHUT UP :) *** Edited 6/20/2006 11:41:59 PM UTC by mike.s.***

Are you really comparing random segments of track with a coaster that already exists, and saying the layouts are the same? You've got to be kidding me. The only thing we know, is that's in an Intamin.

I think he's just saying that you can't really prove that this is a coaster with inversions just from track pieces we've seen so far.

I agree, at least if we're basing this just on the track we've seen. I personally think this is a coaster with inversions but for unrelated reasons.

I also think that it will be a launched coaster of some type due to the permit for the electrical shed. That is a good size shed for electronical componets. http://www.pointbuzz.com/news.htm?id=947

Darn, another launched coaster for me to be disapointed by its short ride time. What happened to the Cedar Point that used to pride itself on giving coaster rides longer then 2.5 mins?

^I'm not sure that Cedar Point ever existed. Are there really that many rides at CP with ride times that long? *** Edited 6/21/2006 1:51:09 AM UTC by matt.***

^Up until Wicked Twister they had a run going (all stats are from rcdb)
MF (2:45)
Mantis (2:40)
Raptor (2:16)*
Mean Streak (3:16)
Magnum (2:00)*
Iron Dragon (2:00)*

*I allways thought Magnum and Raptor were longer and I have a hard time believing that MF is a longer ride then either of them, but thats what the stats say. So Ill adjust it to 2 mins. Anyways here are the non kiddie coasters under 2 mins

Top Thrill Dragster
Wicked Twister
Wildcat
Blue Streak

Amazing that half of that list has been built in the last 5 years huh?

From the looks of the site I would guess the ride is going to be pretty long all the same. Also, I hardly think a large electrical shed is proof of some sort of launch. Not saying its impossible, just not anywhere close to being definitive.

I took a few photos today...nothing terribly different from the other galleries but I still thought I'd share.

I still have yet to see any box track, which leads me to believe that this will not be launched, since that track more or less requires the box track (show me a Intamin launched that isn't)... it may have a traditional lift-hill that could be as steep as Millennium Force, if not more-so... and then do its course of 12 inversions over a stretch of 5000' + feet of track.

If there's box track seen, I may change my opinion... but having the triangular track (or better-yet, flat-track) leads me to believe that the stress on the track will not be as hard as it would be with a launched coaster, and may be just a traditional looper with record-breaking number of inversions.
