track sighted at Cedar Point!!

It could be for the number of track pieces. Except I think SD2K had about 250 pieces. (It was on a coaster show called "making of a coaster". I'm not sure if that was the right number. I'll watch it again later to see). But since MF is shorter than SD2K than I doubt its the number of pieces. Unless Intamin pieces are smaller than Morgan. It probably is the production number. Although it would make sense if it is the number of track pieces cuz T could stand for track.

-----------------
Six Flags, the only chain of parks that can manage to have stacking with a one train operation.

maybe the number is the height of the next coaster. So this coaster will be 411', and the coaster after that will be 542'! Cedar Point, I love you. lol

Well, WT isn't 411' is it?

-----------------
Call me SpongeBobAlex.

Steelraptor, I goofed when I said about six weeks. I looked at Cedar Points old news and it was mid November when they announced WT, so it will be 8 to 10 weeks.

Someone asked if the ride would be 2 minutes long. That would be over 3 miles of track at 100 mph. It will probably be well under a minute. MF is about a minute from the top of the lift hill to the station and this will have no lift hill. A short ride time wise may be what Jeff ment when he said we would not like part of it.

-----------------
The worst day at Cedar Point is better than the best day at work.

Once again I'm standing by my opinion that the coaster will try to blend in with the coasters near the island area (as if it isn't getting more logical and obvious). But thats just my 2 cents!

Speaking of Jeff, he's awfully quiet...

Yes I'm 15, no I'm not childish, I'm not being sarcastic, well maybe I do have somewhat of an ego...

I don't think it will be a clone of Xcelerator. I just don't see CP having rides that are cloned unless they are the first to build it and then it is cloned after that.

"Technically" it’s not a "clone" if there are variances in height.........................

Hey MFManiac, PLEASE read the rest of this post before posting! T-411 was the 'code number' for Millennium Force. It obviously has nothing to do with it's height. The code number T-452 has a 99% chance of having nothing to do with Dragster's height either.

I'm not sure if I buy into the "all over the park" launched coaster theory. Cedar Point is more known for having smaller, compact layout coasters that can pack a punch (Raptor, Mantis).

I was talking to 'someone' at MIA today about the track and just laughed because he said it was supposed to be tarped. Go figure :).

First off, long time reader, new member.

I beleive that any coaster that CP gets will be good. Not for the fact of the records broken, though that would be nice to have the records again, but for another unique ride that some other park will not have for a while.

I think that we should not dig to deep into the hints that Jeff has given us, but thank him for the info that he is alowed to leak to us. I say we take these ideas and use more common sense and think about what he has stated for we are not all scientists to figure the clues out, though some people have given us very good ideas of what it would take to make this coaster a record breaker.

If I got the money, my wife and I will make our annual wedding anniversary trip to CP to see what is going on and make my own conclusions.

No offense but I don't really consider Raptor or Mantis to be "compact" Yes they do pack a punch but they use up more land than some people think.

I don't think that the new coaster will be like Xcellerator. I mean that would be too similar to Millennium force in the General Public's mind. Mabey it will be some new kind of intamin prototype! Anyway I don't think they would beuild a 2nd Intamin launched coaster in 2 years. But I might be wrong Whoc ares what ever it is it'll be a new coaster :-)!!

Have you ever been to SFGAm and seen Deja Vu closed? If you have then go again and it WILL BE DEJA VU!

Sorry I couldn't hear you, The voices in my head are drowning you out.

Knotts Berry Farm is kind of on the other side of the country from Cedar Point. I don't think I'd hear anyone say "What's with this? A clone of Xcelerator?". It's not like a boomerbang...sorry boomerang or anything, and I think there is a good chance that it could be in the same league as Xcelerator. I would't rule out anything yet.

-----------------
I love Deja Valley. And Stunt Stall too!

I'd rule out a ride that goes all around the park...;)

An bunny hill would have to be 150 feet just to keep the G's in a safe range.

Not true... it could be any height... but the shorter the bunny-hop, the longer and more stretched out and "gentle-sloped" it'd have to be.

True...

Im sorry but I'm getting sick of all this "It would look to similar in the GP minds" stuff. They are not idiots you know. I think they can tell the difference.

I don't think the GP will be saying anything about this being a clone of Xcelerator. It seems like nobody in my school has heard of Knott's Berry Farm, let alone Xcelerator.
