Opened as the tallest and fastest in the world. And it can accommodate more types of people than a eurofighter ever would. Sure it's a hypothetical, but that is not a ride leaving anytime soon. Cedar Point wants families. Families spend more money.
I preferred X-Flight, but that is another story.
The line is slow, and loading can take a while. The lift is loud, and the brakes send blood towards your head. But the ride between those points is quite fun.
Looking at the layout of the ride, I'm not sure where a splashdown would feel right. It needs to be near the end, but the extra length of track in the 2nd half will already eliminate most of the vehicle's momentum.
