I presume coasterbill is on his way to silence you at once.
Oh please! Coasterbill loves me! He'll agree with me on this one. . . He doesn't want to see the Skyride in any way affiliated with New (or old) Mean Streak! He says, "Skyride is better than that, and deserves all its own glory!"
Oh come on. . . As much as we would all like to dream. . . Let's be honest, when Cedar Point does finally go over 500ft, it's going to be a Polercoaster.
It's so barren with all those trees gone. I didn't realize just how large of a site this coaster is going to take up.
Personally I hope they replant trees to fill it in, and not leave it empty like Wildfire...
(This is just a minor personal annoyance) I know it's going to be an amazing addition either way.
So, I was looking through this trip report from Winter Chill Out in (Feb?) 2015, and this really stuck out to me:
Has this RMC Mean Streak stuff really been going on this long?? I can't believe that it's finally happening. . .
Not soon enough. . . I'm so over this VR gimmick. Sure, it was neat at first. . . But then everyone started putting it on everything, and ruining perfectly good coasters. . . The VR really doesn't make the coaster that much better. And it really kills operations.
