Cedar Point '07 Project

I've noticed those vibrations a lot on Millennium Force, but not on Wicked Twister or Top Thrill Dragster. I dont think it takes away from the ride much, and I can't imagine the GP being able to tell the difference, but it would be nice if it was "fixed," if that's possible.

I thought someone on here mentioned once that Intamin wheel assemblies don't use springs like B&M coasters, but are static. As the ride ages, the assemblies do not grip the track as well as they can, and hence the vibrations.

Going with the Intmain floorless theory, it'd be cool if the seats faced back-to-back like the invertigos

Hey, I doubt this is true, but I read on another site that Snoopy is walking around the park saying that "the seceret is out in 9 days" which would be the rumored September 7th announcement date. Like I said I don't believe it, but if more people start saying that they heard it I may start to believe it.

Ok, nevermind it is true. www.cedarpoint.com Read the top banner when Snoopy is flying across the screen. *** Edited 8/29/2006 8:22:43 PM UTC by cameroncrazy80***

Thats beeen there since atleast 9:30 am when I checked it this morning and think thats been said on here already cameron. Did you just not read any other post?

There's 57 pages... give the guy a break.

I guess I will. ;) Next time I'll remember these ;) *** Edited 8/29/2006 8:54:21 PM UTC by TonyBlackjack***

Snoopy walking around the park. If it's true, it's classic! Pictures, someone, please.

It's amazing at how fast something true ("Snoopy is flying with a banner on cedarpoint.com") can become something false ("Snoopy is walking around the park with a banner").

That, my friends, is the power of the Internet.

floorless, as in a B&M floorless. Because Intamin would be the higher being in this coaster design. But floorless would be pretty cool, but idk, it'd be cool but at high speeds I couldn't see a floorless, nonetheless there's not enough space for a floorless train, that space where the coaster dives in between the supports is too tight.

So we're pretty sure it's 2 across and not 4 across. I'm a little surprised by that, because CP knows it is a very popular park and needs high capacity rides. Knowing this is an Intamin, could this be a ride similar to Powder Keg or PKI IJST, but with a couple of inversions and by a different company? Possibly make it a family coaster that would be perfect for a kid to experience their first inversions/launch on? Just a couple of more thoughts, because we only have a few days left to guess!

A 4 across Beemer has no higher capacity then a 2 across Intamin. Unless the Beemer train isexhorbitantly long for a Beemer train.

MF has 36 seats, Nitro has 36 seats. *** Edited 8/29/2006 10:57:14 PM UTC by MagnumsRevenge***

Ahh, but the Intamin launchers tend not to have anywhere near that many seats!

Perhaps, but they don't call it telephone for nuthin!

Just got back from CP today (I had the day off so went in for a couple hours), and it looks like the second loop of the "cobra roll" (if you can call it that) was just installed. Also, immediately after coming out of the loop, the track banks heavily toward the old WWL station, and then it flattens out (flat track only, not triangular in cross section) and runs right over top of the large group of footers adjacent to WWL's station. It's very hard to describe without pictures, but I'm sure the pictures will be up soon on Pointbuzz anyway (if they're not there already). I got to catch a great glimpse of all the construction action from the Fronteir Inn patio. It was a great view!

I would also say that the park was very crowded for a Tuesday - haven't all the kiddies gone back to school?? I expected things to be slow, but it was quite crowded.

I'm not sure if anyone suggested a launched coaster. Becasue I was at the park yesterday and I went on the train and all the signs said "We're going in a whole new direction" and "back off bronco this here is a construction zone". I must say it looks very cool and looks pretty long. But I, for the most part, am stumped on what this ride could be.

Nope, you're the first.

^ yea, we mentioned it a while back but disregarded it.

What does speed have to do with floorless? Well, this coaster is suppose to be fast, and looks like it's going to hug the track, so I don't think people would want a hair bit of clearance between their feet and the track, speeding at speeds, that they say are going to exceed that of dragster.

ophthodoc- So they've built 4 couting inversions. I was there sunday and there were 2 completed. I was talking to a friend about it, and he said they have a long way before they'll be done, but they are flying through this coaster.

But we know it's going to launch. Where? is the question. I think I should load my pictures now.

and is someone hating on millennium force up there?

The coaster isn't "suppose" to be anything considering that there hasn't been any official announcement yet.

Ha! Brian, that was exactly the game that came to mind!

so just because it isn't "official" doesn't mean it won't be. We know it's going to be fast looking at the the banked turns. i'll put my pics on here.

Oh and has anyone tried to decipher the signs surrouding the construction site. Personally, i'd rather figure out what the coaster will be, before they tell us exactly.

Banked turns = Fast?

I guess I missed that day in physics or Roller Coasters 101.
