Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

It's a dead link now. Cp's website team needs FIRED! I wish Cp would of went a little higher with this new concept, It won't be long before the next big wing rider comes along and takes the crown. Superman: Krypton Coaster, that coaster/Park knew what they were doing. -

WEBSITE FAIL!! www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/gatekeeper#panel1-1 GATEKEEPER! ^Aww man it was cool, -
I only ride in the front seat on Gemini, NEVER experiencd any real problems there. Magnum is rough on the trims (on any seat) before the pretzel turn. Corkscrew needs some TLC, those Corkscrews hurt like hell due to the restraints. I can't even imagine how Revolution feels at MM. Corkscrew needs some new OTSR.

Or at least for Summer 2013. But I doubt that we will see anything new next year at Knott's. I guess Cedar Fair is happy with allowing Knott's to stay a cash cow for the chain without investing any money into the park. The Park is doing well in attendacne, Brings in lots of bacon. All this without huge capital investments, seems to be good buisness. Milk the cow why it's still full, so then you can throw down tons of cash on the next new attraction. I prefer this method.

Gemini-----rough The only part that was rough (for me) was about 1/2 through the final helix. They need to fix that bump. I think i'm the only one on TPR who mean streak. Just DON'T put your back agaist the seat in a valley, that WILL mess you up.

I thought of that a while back too. Although the supports would really get in the way. i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g399/ShippudenMan/Shot1139.jpg had to refrence RCT3 for this one. It would be something like that. The layout would have to be full of highly banked turns for the supports not to be an eyesore to the riders. -
Blue Streak @ Cedar Point. I would rather ride Mean Streak 3X in a row , than to ride that piece of crap again .

How Much Is Too Much Airtime?
JonnyRCT3 replied to Lone Wanderer's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
Jack rabbit at Kennywood provided a great airtime filled moment, sadly it's the only thing the coaster has to offer. The rest of the ride is nothing short of BORING. Now the airtime you get before hitting the chain lift on Thunderbolt is INSANE , my #1 woodie so far. My bottom and my feet were about 3 inches off the car, I only weigh 134. -

http://www.cedarpoint.com/gatekeeper/the-ride ^aww man, it now says "404 error page not found" the pages were blank, but it had tabs that read "POV" "Ride Renderings" etc. Each page just displayed text that read "Something BIG is coming!" It pretty much confirms the name "Gatekeeper The Ride" -

Hinting at Raptor and "edge", there was no doubt before, but it's definitely a B&M Coaster. The animation for the coaster seems to be great, just pan over a bit more.........this is such a tease . CP knows how to advertise, becuase they have me on the edge of my seat anyone else notice the "top" of the gate. -
I don't know how many times I've had to say this, but just because it has inversions, that doesn't mean it can't have airtime. You can have both! Maybe I should of worded this better. What I meant was that the Mountain was once again making the "loop" a possible centerpiece to the ride. Inversions seem to be the "big thing"to the the big wigs. But with the ride rumored to go on Log Jammers site, I'm sure it will have lots of sexy intamin curves . I'm thinking that it will be something similar to cheetah hunt, minus the theming. Or maybe a older cousin of Furius Baco

I've decided not to get pumped for this "Full Throttle project". I was at first, but then it hit me "Worlds largest Vertical Loop", it seems the mountain only cares about inversions, it already has 30+. This saddens me . Now if it has a good twisty layout, like I305/Mav. This will be a must for 2013/14

Most Intense B&M!
JonnyRCT3 replied to Beate's Freak's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I don't know if this counts as intense or not... Coming out of the last corkscrew on Raptor is intense, and not in a good way. That HURT!! But the helix finale made up for it, some good positive G's Not relating to B&M's, Intamin's inverted Impulse Coasters. I've only rode one, Wicked Twister. Those vertical spikes are nothing short of INTENSE -

Wasted 20 seconds of my internet time for this, could of watched a Dragster POV . Yet it's the most interesting post I've read on this thread, as of lately. -

this is what the wildcat area looks like today. So I doubt we will see any ride re-locations to this area. -

JonnyRCT3 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I doubt it will be scrapped from the park. Although I wonder if Wicked Twister will be closed during parts of the Demolition, the front spike is only about 15' away. -

This is where everyone is making their over-assumptions. Cp is trying to regain there coaster count, yes. But who said anything about MM? Cp is focusing on how to improve the park, not compete with a park that is a total opposite. -
Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread
JonnyRCT3 replied to robbalvey's topic in Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
I only see one coaster being added,not two....Kinzel never went so far as to add two coasters at CP just to satisfy his overinflated ego & since he's gone & Matt Q is in charge he's gonna follow a more cost effective plan especially since there are other parks in the chain that need new captial investments as well. This is seems like the most reasonable post here. Cp is trying to regain its coaster count by adding another one, that was the general message. Some people read to far into things and assume there will be two coasters. If there is to be second attraction, i doubt it will be a second coaster, maybe a nice thrill/flat at most. Possibly a new/redone games building to go with the new coaster. -

I guess link? I was being sarcastic it said a flying coaster was on the news, it was a wing rider.
