Could a CCI be built on top of Disaster Transport?

Just looking for opinions here. Would the DT building be stable enough to actually support sections of a CCI on top? Thought it might be a cool idea. Maybe the sections on top of DT could use steel structure?

Um, I am dead serious, and i don't see why it shouldn't be taken as such. I just don't want to see DT removed, and i don't think it will be anytime soon, but this is what i was thinking.

If the boardwalk section is ever built at CP, one thing i associate with boardwalks is densely packed rides. I thought it would be cool for portions of a CCI to go over top of Disaster Transport, and i was wondering if anybody thought it was physically possible. what is so absurd about that? sheesh.

Well the boardwalk section isn't built yet so don't get your tighty whitys in a bunch!

I know what you are saying Raven Guy. There's no need to attack somone because you don't agree with them, so let's stop the negativity, ok? Raven Guy, I don't think CP will do what you propose. The roof isn't really made to do what you want. Before DT was an Indoor coaster, it was completely outside, self-supported. The outside is really just huge sections of metal put up around the perimeter of the ride. It's just basically a box over a coaster.

Ok, first of all, i am not attacking anybody. Point out where i did that, and i will retract my words, but as far as i can tell, I wasn't attacking anybody. I don't really see how i was being negative. I was just a bit bothered that i was asking about an idea i had, and it was called ridiculous, while i really didn't think it was. No big deal.

Second, that is what i figured: the whole DT structure is really just a bunch of flimsy boxes placed on top of an existing ride. I still think it would look cool, though.

And lastly, I don't wear tighty whities! ;)

That's a good idea, but try posting this at GTTP. You will actually get some answers.

There are currently 11 coasters with the name Batman, 8 with the name Superman and 22 with the name Boomerang. Batman and Superman: The Ultimate Chiller Knight Flight Krypton Escape Ride.

That is a great idea. They could use steel supports like the ones on Cornball Express at IB. That is being built right over every thing in it's path, why not one over DT?

In a word, no. But if they did want to have a coaster interlocked with it (assuming they got rid of the building) the supports for DT aren't that spread out, and it would be fairly easy to build another coaster that would intertwine with it. But yeah, the building itself isn't all that great. Check out the ariel pics and you can see that it isn't even entirely enclosed: just some parts which make up the rooms for the queues, the rest is tunneled.

Of course they arn't going to sit a coaster support on top of a building! But I'm sure if they wanted to the supports could go down to the ground through the roof.

Unless it's incredibly overdesigned the building as it stands couldn't support another coaster on top. However, there are lots of ways to reinforce a building, or to transfer loads through it to the ground. the shape of the building would be more of a problem.

The Disaster Transport building roof can't even hold rain water, so my guess is that it wouldn't be able to support a coaseter, or stand the stress a coaster would cause...

so there for they could just open DT back up and have a CCI go over and under it! woo hoo!

I think cedarpoint needs to build a huge building that is really sturdy on the lagoon and put like two coasters on top of it and in it and make the to inside intertiwne with each other , and the two on top hang out over the edges and be pretty twisted. To bad it will never happen.

that would look pretty aukward anyways, and there would be limited places for the station *** This post was edited by Foozycoaster on 5/17/2001. ***
