Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

It does look a lot like the Texas Giant which is still my fav RMC conversion of the 3 I've ridden. I'm also happy that it's keeping all of it's track length. I can't wait to ride. -

He's up to 17. I don't think KD is done with announcements yet. Something will happen with Hurler for 2017 whether is removed or refurbished. I'm going with the latter. Cedar Fair just doesn't want KD's announcement to occur prior to CP's...maybe. -

I just saw the announcement on Screamscape and wanted to stop by for the drama and I'm not disappointed. -

KD is definitely due for a new coaster. It's been 6-7 years, which is odd for that park. ^^ Hurler's layout isn't that bad to me. It was a pretty good ride the first few years it was open before it was trimmed and rough. I don't see it happening, but RMC could make a pretty good ride out of what's there. It will probably just end up being retracted or removed. Either way...PUT GRIZZLY'S TREES BACK!!!!!! -

Don't be disappointed when the GCI comes in instead of RMC -

I actually like the name and I'm excited about the ride. I'll be planning a trip to Ohio next year, especially since I haven't ridden Valravn and Mean Streak is being converted or reprofiled. -

Solar farm? I doubt it's a ride unless Safari Village is getting expanded. -

KD will get the GCI refurb on Hurler. CP is going for the RMC. As mentioned above, the maintenance on Mean Streak is just too much. I'm sure they will add a smaller traditional woody in the future. The Shoot the Rapids location has enough space. -
Rode Hades in summer of 2014 and thought it was fantastic. A little jerky in the portion before the lift hill, but nothing to complain about as far as roughness. Go Carts are worth the stop! And Cyclops. Hercules was one of the worst coasters I've ever been on in my life. THAT coaster beat me to death. I rode Sunday. The pre-lift could use some work but the rest of it wasn't bad at all and I rode in the back. I didn't care for Pegasus much, but Cyclopes and Zeus (minus the turn around) were also pretty good rides. Try to get to Hades early. It has the slowest crew imaginable. I've never seen anyone use their entire body weight to check a restraint...should've recorded that. Please get a video when you go. lol

I've never thought of I305 as on airtime coaster. The speed, insane lateral transitions, and proximity to ground are what makes it exceptional. For anyone that has not ridden it, don't expect a lot airtime. If you're looking for the insane intensity of I305 plus ejector airtime, Skyrush is perfect. I thought I was going to pass out and be ejected during my state of unconsciousness and I loved it. I'm also glad I'm not the only one that thinks Alpengeist is great. -

It loops, just not the vertical type I like the look of the family boomerang. Hopefully we'll see one in the US soon. -
