Will Cedar Point's New Coaster Be Themed?

Sorry for the misconception. I didn't mean to say that you (Charles Nungester) were complaining about CP. I was simply stating my feelings on themeing and when it is needed. Look at Disney...What is Walt Disney World without the illustrious themeing? Basically, its a group of parks (with the exception of MGM) without powerful coasters. I go to Disney for the beauty. There are very few rides that attract me there themselves.

I have not been to Disney in years, Decades to be exact but the themeing is very good.

Now, IOA :) The one ride, Posidons Fury isn't a ride at all. It's one big themed walkthrough and it's great :)

Is it about coasters or friends? I say both!

Hey Chuck,

It's really quite a stretch to say that the oceana area at CP is themed. I don't see how the giant wheel, DT, and WT fit anything close to an oceana theme. Please explain.

How go would they be without the theme?

I still don't know about the name "dragster". I think "Retro Rocket" would be better. Retro= 50's/60's (give or take). Rocket= Intamin rocket coaster. It would be still be themeable to the same things as "dragster".

IMO, there are some parks, such as Cedar Point, which can get away with not having any theming in their rides. To that end, I think that Dragster probably won't be too extravagantly themed beyond many a unique station. I personally enjoy themed rides, however, like it was mentioned before, I would prefer an excellent ride with no theming to a good ride with shoddy theming. As for Disney, IOA, BGW, and BGT, people expect the kind of theming they see on the rides, and thus it is necessary those parks have elaborate theming.

i hope it has a drag racing theme piant the cars up like nhra cars

I agree with theming on a coaster not doing much but I'm all for theming in queue lines. It makes the wait more enjoyable and its a little more memorable.

I highly doubt any canadian theming. The only reason there is a Canadian flag is because I think the construction crew is from Canada or something. SOB has flags from many nations on it because they had Dutch guys, German guys, Swiss guys all building it.
