track sighted at Cedar Point!!

It's going to go 122mph

It will be around 150 Feet taller then MF

You will not like the length

They are building the station right now. I have pictures of the I beams

Use that edit button, Becca...it's your friend!

"Actually, a long, LONG time ago there was a coaster where riders were "stacked" vertically....called the Whirl-Fly....."

LoL! Great thought Rollergator :-)

For those who don't know the Whirl-Fly was basically a 4 car ferris wheel that navigated a coaster track around 1900...the centre of the wheel was attached to a set of wheels that cruised along a (hopefully!) fairly tame course.

I know, CP in 2003: A launched, tera, no restraint, inverting, 100 degree angled, whirl-fly!

That's one even *I* would hold on for :-)

I did that on purpose to get attention

BeccaRaptor,

The attention that repeat posting instead of creating one legible post is usually negative...Just some constructive criticism. (sorry for the bad pun) ;)

Thanks Great America!

Stich - ive seen the packing slip for SFNE's SROS. im almost positive it was close to the exact height of SROS. not exact, but close enough. It could have just been a freak thing though. Thats why I asked if that number was the height of the ride or just a random #. hopefully its the height though :)

So....are you gonna show us the pictures?

The ice age killed the dinosaurs, we killed ourselves.

450 feet and 122 mph? Yikes. If that doesn't bunch up Markey's panties then nothing will!

Maybe for Halloweekends they will have a fake head like his hanging in the front of the park. ;)

I'd be willing to bet a ton it's not going to be called "Dragster." That's just Intamin's name for it.

Look at MF's packing slip - it said "Gigacoaster, Cedar Point, USA." Not the actual name.

I'm pertty certain it'll be racing themed, but not named "Dragster."

I'm sick of everything having to be the biggest and fastest. These rides aren't even good half of the time. American parks should take a hint from parks like Alton Towers and Miribilandia......would you rather ride X or Katun? X is big and fast and spins, but Katun is one of the most amazing rides ever built. Think about it.

And X isn't?

-----------------
Why do you have to have a license to own a dog, but not to have a child?

X is beyond our technology as is Deja Vu, hence the reason they never work. They are good rides but they aren't amazing. X is creative, but the layout is short and uninspired. Arrow Dynamics hasn't been good since the early 90's.

How many X laps do you have, Wise Guy? or Deja Vu laps, for that matter? People whose opinions I would swear by claim that X is the best coaster they've ridden, and Deja Vu delivers a mind-blowing ride. If you're talking about uptime, yes, they both lack in that department, but the quality of ride given by both appears to be superb.

Sounds like sour grapes. While I agree that bigger isn't always better, I'm glad the US is taking back the tallest, fastest coaster record, even though the coaster will be about as long as my foot. ;)

With X being an amazing ride that you haven't even ridden, you sound more jealous than anything else. X isn't even the tallest ride at SFMM.

-----------------
"Escuse me, can you tell me where the heck the Mystery Lodge is"?

Ok.. if Intamin is using "Dragster" as a codename, then that absolutely confirms that the coaster will be launched. So now we KNOW everything about this ride except for the statistics [height, speed]. I think it's time CP to just announce the darn thing! :).

BeccaRatpor, let's see these pictures you have. Oh wait, you don't have any? What a surprise.

Wise Guy: What are you talking about? Katun is the second biggest B&M invert out there. I would hardly call that small.

If you're sick of everything being so big, that's fine. You go ride Wildcat and we will be in line for the new coaster.
