Cedar Point dropping hints for 2010

Someone else here has an idea of what it is, if my source is correct. I need to stop talking now.

If the 500 ft dueling woodie flyer flume WAS possible with today's tech, yes it would be cool.

Personally, I'd be happy with a 500 ft 4-way dueling flyer. Do the trains up likw vintage WW2 figters, like the P-51 Mustang, Zero, and Messersmit, and it's very cool, especally the nose art on the P-51's.

Inverted flume. With a launch.
Wow, talking out one's backside can be fun!

They have just posted a new Point Poll... http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/poll/index.cfm

Does this mean no water ride or are they counting that as a thrill ride?

It's 2/3 majority for a coaster.

Just because people want it to be a coaster, doesn't mean it will be.

Even so, I doubt it'll be something for the waterpark because it involves Milienium Island.

Carowinds apparently use to have a roller coaster named "White Lightning." If they choose to "resurrect" their classic coaster, they may choose the name "White Lightning" - hence "Lightning Strikes TWICE at Carowinds." What do ya think? Let the speculations begin!

Does everything at Carowinds have to strike twice now?

(since that was what they said about the Mind Eras...uh...Headach...er...Carolina Cobra)

Where was it mentiond that it ever was anything for the waterpark?

I think we are talking about a water ride.

Yep, your speaking my language. We all know this isn't possible however we're having good times nonetheless. Creativity is priceless!

Hopefully not Dave - unfortunately it would make sense assuming the "clues" are ligit.

LOL! Yep, it sure can. Hmmmm...... Perhaps we should do this more often!

Now it's my turn.

I say NASA should be involved with the engineering of the new ride. The loading station should be located somewhere on Venus - in fact, that would be a great name for the ride, "Venus." We'll need space suits in preparation of our "launch" to Earth..... or should we freefall?

Naw. The moon would be more fun.

CP can open up a new section and call it "Luna Park"

New acomidations, some sick rides could be built with minmal supports oweing to the moon's lower gravity.

Yes, we would need space suits, but that would just add to the fun.

The only problem would be the cost.

I am thinking that a large bubble would be the way to go rather then space suits. Boy talk about airtime.

From Facebook:

KD: 1 CW: 2 CP: 3

They're announcing KD's coaster on August 20 and Carowinds' on August 26. Does that mean CP is the following week?

They also said Laboring over these 2010 plans is exhausting!

I am thinking Labor Day weekend

You're on to something!

That pretty much confirms that.:)

Oh dear!
