Parts arrive for Cedar Point's new S&S attraction

Posted | Contributed by Red Garter Rob

No one is entirely familiar with the exact nature of the ride, but it appears that Cedar Point is building a "slingshot" or "thrillshot" in Challenge Park. The ride seems to be similar to other rides that propel a small vehicle and its passengers into the air.

The parts arriving are exactly like those that arrived at Six Flags Magic Mountain a few weeks ago.

Turn-o-the-C: While I could be wrong don't expect James to divulge what he knows. I'm sure he wants to keep his relationship with the park in good standing. Like Jeff has said, "Those who know don't tell, those who tell don't know."

--not telling
I'm sure Knott's will come through with another great ride. I'm not worried... ;)

Man, I really hope for a launched Intamin of some sorts. Something not like STE or Monte (straight out/straight back) but something along the lines of Mr. Freeze, but Intamin Insane Style. I think it could be done in that small space that Windjammer took up.

To get back on subject though, does anyone have an insight to how tall these S&S upcharge attractions are going to be? They're gonna be Total Insanity I tell ya!

Do you really think they will get this thing running before the season is up?
And can anyone give a good discription on what they think this ride is actually going to do? *** This post was edited by Relic on 7/17/2001. ***
I tried submitting this news item a while ago when I went to Cedar Point on Memorial Day. A ride op on the Ripcord told me about it. But apparently it didn't get to Jeff or I'm not good enough to send rumors in. I'm out.
I hope they put the new S&S Coaster in the place of Disastor Transport.

I just came back from Cedar Point I did see a simi truck holding white steel supports. I was talking to one of the ride operators look for a possible thrust air coaster in 2002. I hope they dont get ride of disaster transport because its one of my favorites there I rode it 35 times when I went to Cedar Point.
