track sighted at Cedar Point!!
Beeman: You got it, that's where I heard that. It's true, I've seen it happen year after year of taking high school age kids to CP. 40/40 kids rode MF. 25/40 rode a looping ride.
You bet height scares away some, but not as much as loops.

CB really has a lot of Cedar point fans!
It has nothing to do with *alot* of Cedar Point fans, its the fact that the new attraction maybe 400feet or taller, with speeds over 100mph. That will definitely generate some hype.

All I need is 4.5 million bucks and a half a mile long sliver of land and maybe someone could build me my very own Shivering Timbers. ;)
The "Red White and Blue" thing is pure speculation. Sure, we've seen red track, and white track... but the only BLUE track anyone has seen is on the MF coaster.
But this does get me to thinking... I wonder if this coaster was designed at the same time as MF, so that it "intertwines" with the MF tracks out on the island? That would explain not only the MF layout, but it'd be cool as heck if true :-)
It'd also be a way to get a red, white, and blue theme going, given there's no other blue track in evidence.

? I think people should consider other possible things that this track could actually be for, such as one of the many new s+s rides, or possibly the Setpoint Seismic coaster that we've all been waiting for.
Look at the pictures, The track is definately intamin track.

Cedar Point has stated in the past that they are designing rides to intertwine to save space.
They have? I don't recall MF and Wicked Twister intertwining with anything..

Jeff said a while, not a year. CP makes anouncements in November. Two months or so and we will know.

For some reason I want to think this will be a launched coaster, like an enlarged premier spaghetti bowl. However, I think the rocket coaster is a more marketable coaster.

NitroExplodea - a launched coaster? Whatever gave you that idea?

Helios: Setpoint debuted a model of their seismic coaster in 2000. There are some pics here: http://club.coasterbuzz.com/features/iaapa2000/gallery/ It's a steel racer that shares a single track.

Ok, didn't Jeff say that it will not be announced for a while? So could that mean that it will be so massive it won't be ready until the 2004 season? I don't thinks so, but anything is possible.-----------------
I was thinking the same thing. That might be what will make everyone mad is that they'll have to wait one more season. They won't leave it laying around for a year and a half. They'll start building but since it's so big it won't be til 2004 that they'll finish. Or hopefully later in the 2003 season rather than 2004.

Back on topic, what else could this be? If we now knowit's Intamin, what are the other possibilities?
