coaster taller than dragster?

I was at CP last weekend, when someone behind me started telling everyone they're building a new coaster at Six Flags GAdv in 2005 that will be 450 feet tall....
is this true????

There is a new Intamin rocket being built at SFGAdv for the 2005 season. There are a whole lot of theories as to what this coaster will be, and one particular school of thought leans toward this being a world-record-breaking coaster in terms of height and speed. Unfortunately for the guy behind you, he's only sharing hearsay as of right now...but never fear! An official announcement can be expected before the end of September, and all will be revealed. :)

The official details have yet to be released but i doubt it will be taller, as it has a shorter track length.

Mike--
There is also a lot of talk going around that the "track length" given at the Jackson board meeting was not correct. Anything is still a possibility at this point.

yea there are going to be prahblems with the new one espshilly becauze dragster has that bent support witch means there going to take off the top two hundred feat of the tower this winter.

Impulse, an excellent point. I personally hope Six Flags is going to use the new Intamin track, which they developed in association with K'nex. All of it just snaps into place, so if they have Dragster related problems, they can just rearrange the pieces and have just ANOTHER moderately-heighted coaster that won't run due to mechanical problems and understaffing. ;)

Hey Brett...I hear SFGAdv's rocket coaster is gonna have a water splashdown. I know you can't wait to ride ;)

mOOSH

Wow, wait till tekno finds out that Janet has joined these boards. He is gonna to pee his shorts :)

Aww dammit, another perfectly good ride ruined by water! Way to spoil the surprise for me Moosh ;) ...

... anyone wanna buy a used goat or some potatos?

--Brett, who enjoys some wet rides, just not at parks ... and who just crossed that line :)

My pleasure, Brett ;)

mOOSH

PS - wish you would have told me about your goat last week...I just bought a new one!

that post had the worst grammatical errors and incorrect spelling I have ever seen

Turbo - it was intentional.

Hey wait I thought that was supposed to be my sacrificial goat?!?!

Cmon, this is Cedar Point were talking about here, they cant be beaten! :) 4**.*

I can just about assure you that TTD record for speed will be broken before its record for height.( If not at the same time) It's just so expensive for a 400 foot tall hill.

I believe I read somewhere that CP used 2 450 foot tall cranes which where only 2 of 4 available for the hill.

*rolls eyes* Your kidding right?

When you say they are taking off the top 200ft do u mean take it off fix it and put it back or leave it off
Please tell me just to fix because it will really suck if im one year to late ride it

I thought Magnum was sinking and TTD was tilting. So confused!

Potatoes? Since when do you have just regular spuds Brett?

Oh, they're going to turn the 200 ft they chop off into another coaster. Gotta keep the count up, you know ;).

I knew it wouldn't be too long before CP copied of SF's Shock and Wave. Copycats!
