But did those people say "it's just like the one from the other park" after they rode it?

Good point! I never thought to listen to their reactions after the ride! Even if the General Public doesn't go to parks to compare the rides, they can still recognize that a coaster is similar to another one. They can also recognize that a coaster may be too short.

Pure height doesn't make a ride good.
Really, only coaster enthusiasts care about height, speed, length, etc. ns on the new coaster.

For a lot of people pure height does make a ride. Just listen to what most people say after riding MF for the first time. Its not 'I loved the bunny hop' or 'the overbanked turns where great'. They say 'Wow, what a first drop'. Combine a huge first drop with a really fast launch and most people are not going to care how short the ride is.

Track is now attached to both sides of the tower according to the webcam....

steelraptor....important to note that the poll results are based on a SMALL smaple....also, if everyone who voted had *RIDDEN* X, I'm willing to *suggest* that the results would be far, far different...
Yea your right. Lets go over to a bigger scale. Check out the Golden ticket awards. Millennium Force #1. I don't agree totally with the top 25, but I have been on all of them and I would have to say MF takes that cake. So my point that I'm trying to make is that the results are not far different. Sorry for getting off topic. I don't think this ride will have any dissapointment, if it brakes some world record. But I do hope this ride will be longer than Xcelerator.
Millennium Force ranked #1
Cedar Point rankd #1

Maybe some element of the ride will extend out into the parking lot. That would be so cool to pull up and park and have a coaster train fly over your car at 100 mph. :) I doubt it though. :( Get you all pumped up even before you get your room or enter the park.
It is probably to run utilities to the new ride.
The worst day at Cedar Point is better than the best day at work.
