CD Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 ^^ Maybe they'll build two coasters on the White Water Landing site if one of them is a ball coaster, since it doesn't take up too much space. It is such a huge space so I can see this happening. Besides the CP Blog said "put two and two together" but well just have to wait to find out what it really is.
TheStig Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 ^Well I really dont think its going to be a Wing Walker, espcelailly with all the problems that TTD had, another accelerator/rocket coaster isnt what they need. Im actuially thinking an Intamin Flyer would probable, but other than that I really dont know whats happening there! It'll get a lot of hype and be only a slight bit of a let down, you'll see...

Darien Laker Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 I'd imagine this one will have inversions, whatever type it is. It's been ten years since CP has added a looping coaster. Maybe they're going for the most inversions record again.
Carnage Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 If they were getting the ball coaster it's footprint would most likely put it where Demon Drop curently is(which wasn't removed afterall). I can't see them putting a small footprint coaster over where WWL was. This construction is starting much ealier then even MF and TTD. So I'm kind of puzzled.
Jon Sabo Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Although that comment/post could be misleading, but I would ALSO venture a guess and say that CP could be building -2- coasters (together). Side by side? perhaps. But that last photo sure indicated it was an Intamin track configuration. I would wonder now on the type.
MLRC7 CP Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Im thinking its an aqua trax coaster, its a water ride and a coaster
coasterdude5 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 ^Yeah, that seems right, putting a better water attraction on top of an old one.
CedarPoint420 Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 I would say it's confirmed. Definitely Intamin! http://weeweeslap.com/forum/file_attachments/cjd/200655145213_new2007.JPG
spaminacan11 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 ^Ya, I just posted that picture on the last page. The watercoaster idea could be right. It would need a large turning radius to cut down on g's, but who knows.
coasterdude5 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Is there any possibility that that picture could've been photoshopped?
CedarPoint420 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 ^Oops I missed that. I still don't think an aquatrax will take up that whole plot of land. I think well see a B&M right next door.
cprocks22 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 It looks like the side of a bridge to me, but it does look like Intamin track too. I would be really suprised if they got another Intamin. And if they did why would they put the track out by Breakers Express, the parking lot by Gemini is much closer. Im very confused.
DATman Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I think that there is no way they're building 2 coasters. Sure it's whatshisname's last year, but that doesn't stop it from being crazy expensive. Expect one really well done coaster, which will blow people away, but not two. (unless the 2nd is a kiddie coaster)
FeelTheFORCE Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 is it possible that this could be just maybe extra track for dragster? i mean maybe they saw or tested some TTD track and one part was a tad weaker than the others and they have this just in case that cracks or something?? just a thought
willski Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 It's Intamin box track, plain and simple. I'm thinking that they will go for most inversions, but I hope they do something more original (like a prototype of some kind?).
Chris Benvenuto Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 is it possible that this could be just maybe extra track for dragster? i mean maybe they saw or tested some TTD track and one part was a tad weaker than the others and they have this just in case that cracks or something?? just a thought I live in the city that tested steel for MF and TTD. I saw this track without it's paint before they were on site for CP construction. When it was shipped from Intamin to the US that is. Dragster would have to be down for 1-2 months to replace track, it's opening this year. They would of said otherwise if they were replacing track, I know CP wouldn't pulls this outta their ass if it were true, with the Off season ending at 12 midnight tonight.
cprocks22 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 ^Dude where do you live lol. Is there any chance they are changing the launch track after the problems they had last year?
cprocks22 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 It was down for a while, then the whole cable shredding 2 years ago i think.
CP_RULES Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 I am kind of bummed that it is going to be Intamin (assuming it is). I was really hoping for B&M. Not that Intamin is bad, I just think they need something new, and what more could they get from Intamin that's not a prototype (which is definately not the direction CP needs to be going after TTD). I am practically going crazy trying to guess though, so its time for me to check out of this argument. I will be along for the ride, commenting on the way, but no speculations.
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Oh, that. I thought that there was something recent.
TheStig Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Racing TTD's! That would rule, but it so wouldent happen... Colin"Racing MF's?"C
coasterdude5 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Yeah, if it is Intamin, I'll kinda be dissapointed, just because they've had intamin installments for the past few years, but I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be good!
cprocks22 Posted May 6, 2006 Posted May 6, 2006 Their past 3 coasters have been Intamin, the first being Millennium Force. So that means the past 6 years, nothing but Intamin.
