Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[DorneyKid14]

It will be interesting to see how fast the rest of the coaster goes up. It seems like the supports for the remaining portion of the ride are pretty vanilla (i.e. self supporting, not requiring a crane to hold the support while the new piece is lifted).

 

It would also be interesting to see how fast the Legendary Boat of Happiness and Fun comes back.

 

OH MY GOD YES

[CP Maverick]

They also have a single piece of track to install between the turn and the brakes before they finish today.

Looks like the safety brakes are going in next. They have the run assembled on the ground and are unloading the evac walkways off a truck right now. Maybe that could go up by tomorrow! Though it did take the better part of a day to put the evac walkways on the block brakes.

Camera 2 has a nice view.......

 

 

I just want the boat to come back

. . . Wish all parks would cover their coasters construction like CP/Cedar fair usually does b/c this never gets old to me.

 

I agree. I wish more parks would cover their construction like Cedar Point does. It makes the off season go by a lot faster, and it's awesome to watch!!

 

Then again if more parks covered their construction like Cedar Point does, more people here would complain because of to0 many pictures being posted of "some bolts being moved around."

You honestly expect the boat to return to you? The boat never cared about you, me, or ANY OF US! The boat is not coming back, and you need to accept that, DorneyKid.

 

If you love something, let it float...

I killed the boat. Shot it dead in the water. It's never coming back.

 

I regret nothing.

I cant let the boat float away. I need the boat. And how could you kill the boat...

Long live the post that started all this boat stuff

Looks like the safety brakes are going in next.

I would agree, that way they can have a team work on wiring all the blocks, photoeyes, proxes, and other electical components while they finish the track work.

I see a boat!!! This boat has a lot of "Love" on it!

Serious question--is this the world's tallest MCBR? I think it actually might be.

[DirkFunk]

Not to derail this thread too far, but I'm really excited about getting rid of Chick-Fil-A if for no other reason than that there will now not be an abandoned building half the weekend next to what is possibly the park's best attraction. Love love love that move.

 

(also still stoked about Valravn)

I am sure if it was Cedar Point would have marketed it.

Possibly one of the most enthusiasty questions I have ever read.

Just saw tonys photo on twitter, if you zoom in the crane looks like it's part of the support.

 

 

What a beautiful boat!!

I forget, is Valraven 8 or 10 across seating?

No idea, but even if it is it's possible that Leviathan's final brake run will still be higher.

 

(I'm actually serious)

[rcjp]

^I think that only takes the record of world's most ridiculous brake run. (which looks taller than dragon fire)

Valravn's is taller than Raptor, right? I think Leviathan's is within like five feet of Dragon Fire. Leviathan's is still the most ridiculous brake run ever though.

I don't know, but I feel like Raging Bull has a significantly tall MCBR. I only got to ride it once, and it was many moons ago, but if felt like quite the drop.
