Maverick

Hawkeye,

I guess I didn't realize that JG is a "small children exclusively" ride. That's too bad. They probably should look into making Kiddy Kingdom/Camp Snoopy into a larger, more diverse area, much like PKI is doing with their Nickelodeon Universe. As always, a Sally dark ride would be an awesome addition. :)

Perhaps it's going to be a family coaster. CP only has one, Woodstock Express,

Maybe Junior Gemini does not count, but I'd say the Cedar Creek Mine Ride does.

I anticipate it' something bigger,

Me too, based on the public comments from People Who Should Know. Maybe we're all being snookered, but that's not where my money is.

Well, it would if you could ride it before you got to four feet...

---

A good family coaster for kids less than 46-48" is long over due in my opinion.

There are two already: Draggin' Iron and Disaster On The Beach.

I would venture to say that any new family coaster will be in the immediate vicinity of either Camp Snoopy or the Kiddy Kingdom. I'd expect them to remove the joke of a kiddy area, Peanut's Playground, and put in a family coaster there.

I can assure that the coaster replacing WWL (at least the main attraction) won't be for little kids.

When my kids were younger, Peanuts Playground was a required part of any visit to CP. The younger one still sometimes asks to stop there. Removing it without replacing it with something else for the preschool set would be a bad idea on the family-friendliness front.

You can have a family coaster that requires 48 inches and CP has plenty. I have seen kids marathoning DT having the time of their lives. Besides they are not going to trademark a name for a family coaster this far in advance.

Peanuts Playground has been rumored to be on the removal list for at least four seasons. In fact, when I was in the park last winter, I made sure to joke, "I guess it's still here."

The demographic that it serves is necessary, but the area has deteriorated. An update is needed, even if it is somewhere else to allow that area to open up.

They don't have a big wooden coaster that is any good either and that is what I think will occur in 2007. The economy is very depressed in the area and I can't see CF leveraging profits and spending the money on a B&M. Yes I know it doesn't make sense with Mean Streak at the park, but that's my guess.

I'm also going to go further out on a limb and say it will be a record breaking woodie as Dick Kinzel's going away gift to CP guests.

Yes, if everyone is at least 46" tall. So if your kids are less than 6-7 years old, all you have is WE that all can ride. Brian, I get the impression you don't like Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport. Call me cheesy, but my older kids still love them and I admit I do as well. Good coaster rider in training rides I think, even if they are a little lame.

My youngest still loves this place. If moved to accomodate a family coaster, it should be replaced with a similar area but improved upon.

Remember earth quake, pirate ride and funhouse? I loved those as a kid. I wish something like that was still around for mine.

Cheers!

not completely off topic, but how are those watercoasters? (rollersoaker) those are family coasters no? I have never been on one, but the premise seems really cool.

I happen to think that my homepark, BGT, would be wise by putting up one of those things.

Fun, but not the greatest capacity.

On the water ride note, does anyone else think that Cedar Point should add something to Soak City?

Duel spinning coasters like at AK would help the capacity issue. Duel Swing Things would help capacity too, and would be freekin' cool going over the rapids. But the plot of land is so much larger than what these kinds of coasters need.

I like the Dive machine idea. It would be easy to build the ride so that it pretends to go underground, like BGT's. Give it a water splash that soaks onlookers and the idea fits very well into the area.

The ride we seem to be ignoring is the watercoaster. I know it has been mentioned but no one seems interested. Why is that? I would love to see one.

What about just another flume? Are we setting ourselves up for anticipointment? What about a highly themed flume like the one at Knott's?

Even though CP needs some kind of multi-looping coaster, I say "meh" to the idea of a floorless, especially with a fronteer theme. A Dive Machine could be themed to a mine shaft or a western urban legend.

It could also be a combonation of all of the ideas we have thought of in one ride, or more than One ride.

This is exciting! When's the announcement?

Come on guys. Let's all say it together now.

Maverick = Wooden coaster ! ;)

Definately a woodie, definately not the creation of S&S or GCII...hmmm

Oh...I forgot. Wood sounds like fun, and sounds like "Maveric", but a wood coaster seems too solid of a structure to be pleasing to the eye in that area. There's also another wood coaster right next door. The next wood coaster I want to see at CP would be white and somewhere near WT.

But I'm not the one deciding what ride goes where, now am I? Wood would be great in FT!

When I say watercaoster a few posts up, I mean like in RCT where the track is a coaster that splashes down into a pool, like the one that was replaced at Silver Dollar City.

I'd love to see them get a log ride like the one at knott's. It's not super-exciting, but I love the whole in-the-dark drop. That totally caught me off guard (well, sort of. I did hear the audio track: "oh! what was that? look out!"/something like that.). It doesn't need to compete with splash mountain, as far as animatronics, but they could really put in a fun ride. Just MHO. *puts on blindfold, asks for a tombstone with pepperoni and olive* "Fire away!" :) *** Edited 2/12/2006 5:19:11 AM UTC by sfmmlovernomatterwhaty'allsay***

Bob, they don't need to add anything to SC, they need to rebuild it. SC is a joke! It's so bad that I had a much better time at MiA than SC. Shouldn't CP's water park be comparable to itself?

^Yes it's very outdated

The reverchrons are listed at 900 rph. The gerstlauers don't have capacity listed in rcdb, but WOF's site claims 720. So, not great,

---

The listed capacity from WOF is pretty much unobtainable. The Gerstlauer spinners that are out now are lucky to get 400-500 PPH.
