Pieces of Cedar Point's mystery ride revealed

What's Cedar Point ?????

Is it just my computer, or is time running backwards on the site today? Every time I open a forum, the postings are from earlier than they were before. I am hoping that this keeps up and maybe I can still catch opening day at Holiday World.

What's a Coaster?

The waste of time comes in knocking others for not being as current with a hobby as you are. I speculate because I enjoy it. I'm not the one knocking others for missing a few significant updates. Maybe Markey is right. Brain damage from coaster riding would explain a few of the people on this board. Just stop picking on people over stupid stuff and grow up. Simple concept..

"What ever Cedar Point does, it will be the best." Um ....yeah riiiight!!

I searched google for Intamin AquaTrax and the first result is "Rider ejected to death on Intamin AquaTrax."

I would be pretty excited if it is a ride like that, as long as it has some sort of decent theme or idea behind it. It can't just be a water coaster sitting there on flat ground. The construction site is huge so whatever it is, or if its multiple things, its big.

I think it would be cool to see Cedar Point work on a coaster with the same kind of transitions that the Voyage has. This stuff about the ride being "The Best" is based on stats alone. It seems like the same attention on detail is never given to these steel coasters as was done with the Voyage and other woodies. You'd think they'd experiment even more with steel, but the most we get are overbanked turns.

How many AquaTrax coasters are on the market now? It looks like a regular coaster with a bit of water. I think I'd rather they just put in an awesome coaster than an ok coaster with a bit of water elements. White Water Landing was cool because you were in water throughout the ride other than the lifts. I vote against aquatrax and I'm sure Kinzel is listening, like he did when I said to keep the trees ;)

From the look of the track, I think we can finally put to bed that ridiculous 500" rumor.

How can you say that from once piece of track exactly?

Who said that piece had to be apart of the 500ft sections!

Not like they are building one that size anyway...

Top Thrill Dragsters track is square, not triangular.

my money is on a new launched coaster similar to Speed Monster or Rita-Queen of Speed.

Don't like money, do you? You are sure to lose that bet.

A lot has been said about water and I am agreeing with that so far. I have no idea what kind of water attraction it is but I'll bet you'll get wet.

It's going to be located in the portion of the park where you can walk around without your shirt isn't it?

Yes, exactly. But I used that same logic in thinking that Skyhalk was going to be a wet Huss Top Spin. :)

Maybe it is for the long awaited hyper that Geauga Lake is supposed to get, and they are teasing us by storing it at Cedar Point.

Skyhawk was designed to dry your hair.

I would gladly trade about 5 of Geauga Lake's coasters for that hyper. I'd keep all the wood and Dominator.

Since it is Intamin track, I am betting on them breaking the inversion record. The coaster could be a clone of Colossus in Europe with just one more inversion to it to take the inversion record by 1. CP already has four coasters over 200 feet, so I doubt the 500 foot mark will be hit soon. Especially not a lunched 500 footer, Dragster had too many problems.

So Jeff, could you do that thing like you did during the Wicked Twister speculation where you can't tell us what it is but you can tell us what it isn't?

"you can tell it is track". Best quote ever.

yup, it's going to be a major extension of TTD which will include about a dozen inversions, a revolutionary interweaving helix and yes, a 500 foot drop.
How will it accomplish this? Besides a healthy amount of elfin magic, after being launched 400 out of the station, it will level off and be launched yet again another 100 feet smashing all records with this retro fit.
Longest coaster ever: 14,000 feet in length.
Fastest: 150 mph going down 500 foot drop.
Most inversions: 12

Ahhh, to dream...
:)

I was just at the park this past weekend (Sunday/Monday) and the construction area is actually pretty large, what I love is the footers that are over the lake area inside the park.

We ran so many damn laps around the park on Monday, we got sooo tired we decided to take the train, and there are footers (as everyone can see) all over the back end of the park.

With the triangular Intamin track on site - and comparing photos with those of Colossus from Thorpe Park...

My guess is a record-breaking inversion coaster. Time WILL tell!

Lord only knows what the hints OnPoint say, really mean... the whole 2+2 thing is confusing me....

Jeffro

Didn't you know that 2+2 = Roller Coaster? (2 syllables + 2 syllables! LOL!) ;)

It was obvious a long time ago it was going to be a coaster. I personally was surprised by Intamin track however. I was expecting something like Poseidon at Europa Park or Journey to Atlantis at Sea World. I was obviously wrong on that one.

Intamin track + tight turn over the old swan boat pond = a whole lot of fun for the whole family.
