Live update July 20, 2011 10am-11am footers on the service road. massive footer under dragon fires helix hard to see, machine in way but square wood foundations around the already poured footers. cement truck pouring more footers. tree clearing in courtyard. wild beast closed today for wood replacement.

LIVE UPDATE JULY 15, 2011 11AM They are moving so fast up here in Canada, they have about 30 of those rebar structure things made and plenty more coming as you can see all the rebar on site. They also begun drilling and digging for the footers in which to me looks like the station area for this 2012 coaster. The rebar structures for the footers are hugeeeeeeee, I'll show you a picture of the new ones under Dragon Fire. some footer rebar under Dragon Fire near orange stakes loads of stakes in and around dragon fire. massive dirt pile beside dragon fires corkscrew from land clearing in another area. A drill drilling holes loads of these things all over the area this just a small amount, with them making lots and lots more! and this famous stake with similar markings to the ones in dragon fires area, all the way over by the front entrance to the park.

July 14th UPDATE~ http://www.canadaswonderland2012.com/Trip_Report__1.html They are moving so fast, lots of change everyday!!! A quick search of the company name shows they are foundation contractors! YaY there are 3 diggers on site, 1 bull dozer and a fork lift. new orange stakes are all over dragon fire...

share these possibilities at other cedar fair parks. There's nothing wrong with saying anything as long as you don't back it 100 %. No harm in rumours, rumours are much different then secret park facts.

My goodness. Listen dude, I am well aware of park policies and procedures. Believe me. But why do you think in three years of correctly predicting CP's new attractions, I've never named my source? Never even given a gender or any clues as to who it is? Any why do you think I still receive this information? To be quite honest, I knew that CP was building a log flume as early as May 2008. A LOT of people did. It had originally been planned for 2009, but was delayed a year for economic reasons. And this is right around the time last year that I found out exactly how tall Windseeker was going to be. Stuff like this isn't some "big secret." I'm happy for you that you expect them to build some big flat or coaster for next year, I honestly was thinking the same thing until I found out otherwise just a few days ago. But that's just not going to happen. Sure, they'll make plenty of capital expenditures and improvements (the rest of MF's paint job comes to mind), but as far as attractions go, it's going to be Dinosaurs Alive. If I'm wrong, I'll gladly come back to this very post and admit that I'm wrong. But I don't really have to worry about that, because I'm not. So this will be my last post regarding any of that. What's funny to me is that if Lance Hart of Screamscape had posted the exact same thing that I did, people would take it as gospel, even though he doesn't do anything differently than me, which is get information from inside sources and spread them. I'm going to hold you to your word, come August I guarantee you'll be incorrect and if not I will personally write you an apology for making myself look dumb. I promise!

It's not a TPR rule, it's a park rule for his inside sources to leak information especially this early in the season. I'm just saying I have dated a ark executive and they never said anything about investments or additions cause it's to risky. Just seems very fishy they are leaking stuff this early into the season about 2012. I for one expect at least a flat thrill ride for 2012 on top of dinosaurs alive (if it's going to cedar point) and possibly a coaster. My 2012 guess is KNOTTS, CANADA'S WONDERLAND, CEDAR POINT get new coasters. 2013 Kings Island. This seems to work with a pattern they established in 2008. Again I will most likely be wrong aswell..

I realize you don't realize my connections with CP, so I'll just let you believe what you want to believe. Edit: ^And Andrew, I'm not entirely sure if you follow/post on PointBuzz, but the last two years I've correctly and accurately predicted both Shoot the Rapids and Windseeker, right down to the specific stats. And both of those came from the same exact sources that told me about next year. Once again, I know the right people who know the right stuff. For anyone who knows anything about me on this site, they all know I don't post rumors for the sake of posting rumors. That's not how I roll. This isn't something I heard from the dude at the Pink's hot dog stand, this is rock solid, 100% reliable information. You can get yourself and your sources into a lot of trouble with Cedar Fair by leaking inside information. It's against park rules to tell someone about park plans and announcements, It leads to termination and lawsuits. I realize I shouldn't have called you a liar it was rude and uncalled for however I completely disagree with your "inside information" on Cedar Point not getting anything but Dinosaurs Alive next year. Let me use an example, Canada's Wonderland in 2011 has received windseeker, a 30th birthday paint job on a lot of it's coasters and buildings, over a million dollar starlight spectacular which is the best out of any cedar fair park (and if you don't believe me just watch it) and 2 new small restauraunts. They have also already started clearly building a new coaster for 2012 thats a coaster added between two operating seasons and capital investments inbetween like planet snoopy and windseeker. If Canada's Wonderland can have all this money funneled into it so can CEDAR POINT! Again I have no backing cause I don't break rules on leaking inside information nor do I know anything but my .02cents is if Cedar Point does get dinosaurs alive next year, doesn't mean you can't expect another attraction on top of it.

Well I guess it's good you all have poor expectations of Cedar Fair for 2012 then cause you'll probably be blown away and twice as excited for their announcements in August. Think about it, their crown and thrown was just stolen away from them by their competition. Any Human and business hates the competition and a bad reputation, they will do anything to retaliate. I'm not saying Dinosaurs alive is unlikely, I'm just saying just cause of that doesn't mean you can't get a coaster aswell. Also the 10 000-20 000 dollars a day thing is bogus with a price of 5 dollars per person would mean around 4000 visitors are visiting this attraction every day. Just seems unlikely, and if this were true they'd be building dinosaurs alive all over America!

Cedar Fair is probably laughing so hard at this thread.. just saying..

Okay, I'm somewhat of a new member on here, hardly post and such.. However am I the only one calling complete bull on what this steve guy is saying about Cedar Point.. If the dinosaurs alive attraction was really bringing in 20 000 dollars a day then there would be dinosaur alive attractions for every neighbourhood in America... Also Cedar Point not getting an attraction next year is complete BULL, I'm from Canada and our park Canada's Wonderland is even getting an attraction from cedar fair in 2012 and most certainly you can expect Cedar Point is aswell.. My honest opinion, I know nothing about Cedar Fair but I do work in management and I call complete bull to what this steve guy is saying.. Even if they do bring dinosaurs alive to Cedar Point "knowing that it will magically impossibly bring in 20 000 dollars a day" ( cough cough LIAR) It will pay for itself (again if) and they still have the money to invest in a new thrilling attraction to retaliate against six flags the competition...

THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST STARLIGHT SPECTACULAR, just watch for yourselves! This video doesn't show the sycronized coloured fountains behind the person filming nor the LED lights syncronized tot he music behind the camera person.

These small youtube clips are not the entire show, the show lasts around 15-20 minutes in total and has a theme for each2-5 minute clip. Here's a video of the Dragon and lava clip very cool video! There are also spring, winter fall and summer clips along with fireworks, golf balls, disco ball, and paint! Dragon Clip: Disco Clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuIR9yvb2kE

Windseeker testing at 100% speed! Also apparently Windseeker at Canada's Wonderland is going to open to the public today from what ride crews at the ride were saying yesturday!
