Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[Mossed]

Texas it is. That's all I've been waiting for, was a confirmation one way or the other. Now I can make next years plans.

[coasterfreak11]

Wow..... I'm sad and shocked. 2018!!!! I'm hoping this is the most epic RMC with extensive themeing, tunnels, etc. Closing a coaster before 2016 operating season and it's for 2018. Very surprised. I was a 2017 Meaner Streak this entire time.

 

CP is killing me with anticipation.

Damn. Old Navy ads keep getting weirder and weirder.

[chickenbowl]

I seriously don't understand this construction timeline... They better make it huge I guess

[JonnyRCT3]

It's known that Tony watches the forum and out of the blue 2018 is mentioned as a gag. Which is only brought up when enthusiasts debate Mean Streak. This is just another tease, nothing confirmed here.

No, dude. As against logic as it seems, It's now confirmed 2018. We have to get over it and realize that this thing won't open for 17 months...

[coasterbill]

Well imagine that...

[JonnyRCT3]

Where is it confirmed Mean Streak will open in 2018? I need to see the recipts.

[Ed Farmer]

2017 just always seemed like such a stretch with Valravn still being all shiny and new.

[DirkFunk]

It'll be August before the "its opening in 2017!" people fully admit that won't happen.

Twisted Colossus. December 21, 2014. Two years ago today.

 

Pre-lift, lift, most of the first drop and the first airitme hill are the only segments complete. Mean Streak is already half-way up the lift hill and it's 4-weeks behind TC's construction timeline. Also note that both Goliath & TC were still having track installed just a month prior to opening to the public. Everythig concrete points to a 2017 opening. Not syaing this is absolute but there is, so far, more concrete evidence to support a 2017 opening than a 2018 one.

What did I say? Predictable as the day is long.

Even if I managed to have a full copy of the contract with the agreed upon terms and conditions and theorized date of opening, I wouldn't post it just because I get to see people come up with the craziest stuff to justify this belief.

[BigBad]

With a 2018 Capital Plan by RMC, I'm thinking that New Mean Streak will open 2017 and then another RMC, obviously a topper track woodie over 200 feet, will open in 2017!!

 

(That was a joke.)

Twisted Colossus was also formally announced in late August of 2014, why would Cedar Point build a new major coaster to open in 2017 and not announce it or start marketing it until like 4 or 5 months prior to it's opening.

Haven't checked on the thread in over a week because of stuff like this and this is the first post I saw...oh boy...

 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone! See you next year!

There's no room for this type of rational thinking here.

[Hilltopper39]

^Actually the more I think about it, 2017? 2018? We all know...................... #it'llneveropen

The same scenario happened with Top Thrill Dragster. Track installation was complete weeks before a single peep from CP. They let the speculation build untill making a formal announcement in January of 2003.

*Over a decade ago with a different ownership group when the park didn't already announce their new additions for the next year with a totally different type of ride when it wasn't financially expedient to close an existing coaster early since it was expensive to run, generated no in park spending and was tremendously unpopular when the park didn't just pretty much tell people it wasn't opening until the following season.
