DawgByte II:What I wonder is... if it is as simple as some think... will this ride suffer the same fate as Wicked Twister, and just be another coaster in their collection, or will it live on forever like Millennium Force & Magnum (ie: top 5 coasters world-wide)? I hope Cedar Point thought this through... it'd be nice to have another top-10 coaster under its belt!

I happen to think that they put in WT as a "filler" coaster, as I like to call it.
-Here's my theory: Cedar Point already designed and was ready to put in their new coaster. But, they thought that it was a little too early to break Millenium Force's record, and wanted to keep the lines fairly long on that too. So, while they were getting ready to put in this coaster, they put in WT to hold the GP at the edge of their seats. They knew (of course) that Wicked Twister wasn't breaking any records (except for world's first double twisting impulse coaster) and knew that it wasn't going to make top ten of anything and what not. Then, instead of obeying their two year plan, they take the GP by surprise and put in this Tera-coaster, spreading out the lines on all the coasters and raising the CP's reputation from 10 out of 10 to 11! Also, they probably also put in WT (as a filler coaster) so they could tie the most # of coasters in a park.
-But what do I know, I'm only 15.

Density, moosh???? Density? Why not Desitin?;)
-Rob, who thinks M:TR would a blast, but I hear the pullout is huge! (running that into the ground.....)

Nasai - do I really have to explain that I was quoting "Back to the Future" ?
Moosh - who doesn't think Rob would make the height requirement for M:TR.

Sig under construction - big announcement coming soon!
Moosh, I think the only issue I would have would be the buckling of the belt. The divider wasn't made for a man my size (I am rather large), so that isn't even an issue, and as we all know there isn't any leg room, which I blame exclusively on the creators of the ride. Are you sure that M:TR isn't a Summers-Dinn job?;)

As long as it's fast and full-circuit I'll be happy!
Millennium Force ranked #1
Cedar Point ranked #1
......referring to the article and the majority of this passage....How 'big ass' odd to see that some things just don't change......
Jeff says:Shut up! I'm trying to eat here!
Why don't you pass some of that chicken over here and tell us what else grandma's cooking in the kitchen for 2003 besides an Intamin gumbo ;)
