Cedar Point announces Wicked Twister and Snoopy Rocks on Ice

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Cedar Point announced this morning Wicked Twister, a 215-foot Intamin Impulse coaster that will reach 72 mph. This larger model will have twists in both spikes and go a full 450 degrees.

Meanwhile, the live entertainment portfolio will be expanded to include a new "Snoopy Rocks on Ice" show to cool of those hot summer days. The show will be performed in the "Good Time Theater," formerly known as the Cedar Point Cinema.

What makes me happy about the ride is variety. A launch coaster is the only type of coaster that CP doesn't have, until now. The only launch ride I've ridden is Flight of Fear at PKI, and i get a huge rush out of it. With WT, CP will offer every type of coaster experience, and like what has been mentioned in other posts, it will please annual visitors like me without necessarily drawing new people. And it also gives you one more thing to do there. Yeah, they have 15 coasters, but when you think about it, how many of them are really worth your attention? MF, Raptor, Magnum, and Mantis...and Mean Streak with less than a 20 min wait. WT will just be one more top notch coaster to ride. Yeah, capacity might be a pain, that just means you will have to hit it first (no problem, it's right at the front). Who cares if it's a copy, who cares if they break the record by just a few feet, who cares if they have the more coasters than SFMM. It will be a good ride, period. With CP spending 25 mill on MF, we should be thankful they are building anything new at all.
Don't mean to sound like someone in the dark, but is this what they were planning on building where they razed the aquarium?  If not what are they building there?
My homepark is SFAW. It has no coaster over 150 feet. Now I ask, why are people complaining? Look at it like your home park is SFKK or SFEG and think about how this would compare to the coaster collection at these parks.
Wicked Twister will be fantastic!

I've experienced V2 at SFGAM, which is now easily my second favorite coaster at that park (behind Raging Bull).  A double twisting, taller version will be absolutely breathtaking.

Consider these comparisons to coasters & SFGAM...

Raptor to Batman: The Ride

Mantis to Iron Wolf

Raging Bull to Millennium Force (well.. maybe that's sort of a bad example, as both coasters are about equal in my opinion... not to mention products of different manufacturers). 

Cedar Point always seems to create bigger & better versions of existing rides. Wicked Twister will be no exception, especially if they find a way to get a holding brake on that back twist...

The only thing worse than computer geeks are all you coaster geeks.  To quote a famous WWF wrestler "Shut the hell up"
Bigger, but not always better!  I'll take Batman over Raptor and Wolf over Mantis almost any day.  Raptor is a very good ride, but it isn't quite as intense as the original.  Mantis is just horrible...it's not as rough as wolf, but it's just the same elements (cept for the diving loop) spread out waaaay too far apart with a lot of straight track.  B&Ms smaller and more compact coasters are pretty much better experiences than their really big ones (with a few exceptions).  Bull and MF....that's not a very good comparison.  Bull is a hyper twister and MF is a giga...whatever you wanna call it.  Also, SFGAm had the first inverted and the first B&M standup.  It makes perfect sense for parks to build types of rides that are successful.

Y'all know how much I *HATE* the "Amen Corners" that pop up so often on CoasterBuzz. But in this case I absolutely have to join one myself :(. With the exception of him stating that Millie is his #2 steelie (much MUCH further down for me) I have to agree with all the comments that Legendary made above. Y'all might want to re-read them as I think they are a fairly accurate assessment.

I'm glad that CP is getting this coaster. I wasn't expecting there to be a twist on both towers, but that makes it even better. It will look awesome next to Lake Erie with its cool color scheme (At least I think so). I completely agree with many other buzzers on the fact that the GP won't really care. They probably don't care about clones, and they might not even be aware of S;UE at SFWoA.
Just my thoughts....

Don't Fight It, Ride It, RAGING BULL!!!!!!- SFGAm
Please, people! Don't you think Cedar Point figured in the VERY Important capacity issue before deciding to add this kick a!! ride?!?! With 6 people helping on this ride....the loading times are going to phenominal!

Floorless anyone?????? notice sfmm or cp dont have one, so why not cp get one. A record setter! it would be sweet!
Parks simply can't afford to built full circuit record breakers every year. Thus, Deja Vu and Wicked Twister is what we get. And I for one am greatful that at least we've still getting quality coasters.
