A lay-down train for Mean Streak Death Streak!

I don't see what there is to complain about. Someone please explain to me what's wrong with this coaster? it's years beyond me...

Random post... X2 reminds me of a Chaos ride, but with wheels

Im guessing you like Tatsu, No?

Charlie Brown. I smell a "themed" attraction.

Refer to this picture. media.cleveland.com/business_impact/photo/cedar-point-gatekeeperjpg-d208a7820354fd61.jpg And compare it to this one. farm3.static.flickr.com/2239/3539509536_c714abb1b6.jpg

Leviathan, that name still surprises me. I may dare even say that's on Disney Level. Of course with less pixy dust.

That's exactly my point! Nobody states "Kings Island doesn't need a B&M invert! Cedar Point has Raptor!" However it is a crime for Giga's, Winseekers and HUSS Giant Frisbees! If Kings Island builds a B&M wing coaster I believe some enthusiast would react the same way! General public would state "Cedar Point has a coaster like this named THE GatekeeperS only their's is 500 feet tall, 267 mph, and has more Loop de Loops!" I'm sure whatever's added won't be an actual clone of something at Cedar Point and will probably be unique to Kings Island! Keep in mind that SOB was a terrain woodie so their's a lot of potential for something epic in the area! It's just a manner of management capitalizing on the area! A new coaster should be a capacity monster however as Kings Island is one of the busiest parks in the nation, slightly more than Cedar Point! I think everyone wondered at some point how a HUGE park like Kings Island got so huge without any Intamins or B&M's till Diamondback! I know the GP doesn't actually know the difference, But the drawing potential from a ride by either manufacturer I believe is huge! I would much rather have a record breaking Invert than a Wing rider. Especially if they could take Raptors first drop and make it twist over completely upside down and then go down into a large loop. Cedar Fair dosen't seem like the Company to spend over 10 million dollars developing a brand new sparkly clone. Just sayin..

Black Widow at Kennywood. Terrible ride operators, that was unexceptable load/unload times (8 minutes!). 35 min wait for 4-5 cycles NEVER AGAIN!

An intamin vertical lift coaster is purrr-fect

any word on the height of the "wing over drop", it's just an in-line twist. So is it safe to say 170'?

They forgot to mention the 170' inversion "talleset in the world" part, not that it matters though

What else did Becca say, something about another new addition. The video feed cut off just then....

This thread intrigues me! Flat Ride: Giant Frisbee--or--a Screamin Swing Coaster: Compact Premier LSM--or--Intamin prefab Cyclone clone

Since were discussing our owl little plans, I'd thought I'd share mine. An aquatrarx would help rebrand the Action zone. If cedar fair is willing to spend some money of theming. An aquatrax utilizing the old SOB (lift) location and running under FD, some rockwork around the FD walk up area. Could really help out. Just my 2c.

a wing rider to me is: a sit down style layout with advanced inverted trains.

Cp's first B&M camel! Hello hairtime! (back row)

Thank you for that. You really do "dive" into a dive loop. *facepalm* And an immelmann is the complete opposite, judging from the pic.

Ok. It seems Dive loops do their own thing and then "wing over" into the inversion. While Immelmans are one large continious inversion. Is that it?

Well correct me if I'm wrong. But don't immelmans return you in the direction you came? And a dive loop will turn you either 90*ish to the left or right? These two elements are confusing. Cp's turnaround looks a bit similar... farm5.static.flickr.com/4035/4630781976_54bd38e102.jpg www.coaster-net.com/images/news/dollywood-announces-wild-eagle-UFtl.jpg I'll just wait untill tomorrows announcement.

What a crazy list. It is amazing that two different people who both love coasters in general can have such a wide variety in their favorite rides. I avoided Mantis and Mean Streak like the plague when I was there from horror stories of pain and agony. For example... why rank two rides you've never ridden at the top? Maverick is phenomenal but it's also a bit unpleasant to be honest. I also think that Dragster, despite it's shortness deserves to be higher than Wicked Twister and probably Gemini. Raptor is Avery intense and disorienting if you are not used to it. Magnum is an absolute airtime machine and Millennium Force is a legendary coaster. What is it about Mean Streak that you love so much? Just out of genuine curiosity. Mean streak, I don't think its THAT bumpy. It's a 161' - 65m.ph. scream machine, with one of the longest ride times in the park. Full of head-choppers and drops. Theirs not much air, but there are some good bits throughout the ride. Why pass up a giant like mean streak (no line!) because you can't put your back against the seat? Although I will admit I'd have to take a break after 2 rounds in a row. Maverick is at the top because of two things. 1: I LOVE launch coasters! 2: I love QDC's! And this ride has them both wrapped with a bow . Maybe it's because Im young, but allot of people complain about rides being rough. I RARELY have any problems with roughness. Everyone on corkscrew was NOT having a good time("that hurt" etc.) ME: my hands were up through both corkscrews, talk about FUN! Wicked Twister is fun because it's just so twisty, and it's an Invert, did I mention it's a Hyper? (well not technically, but still) And the thing with mantis is, you just need to know how to ride it. It's twisty,tall, loopy and has some fantasitc G's. It's an overall enjoyable ride IMO. And Gatekeeper. It just looks awesome. I can't even imagine the G's this things going to pull during that first immelman.

Thank you for clarifying that. I wondered how I didn't find that picture when I was surfing the net "Cedar Point 2007 coaster", back in 2006.

a day or two? well the concept art was leaked months before the announcement. www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=140371#p140371
