prozach626 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Does anyone have any additional photographs or construction updates on CP'S new RMC conversion, Abraham's Revenge?
chickenbowl Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) Oh man... That's CGA, KBF, CP, KD, and SDC all on 8/16... Enthusiast Christmas is coming strong this year Abraham's Revenge? Edited July 24, 2017 by chickenbowl
Rill'o'beily Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Considering most coasters CP has added have been added mostly in the spirit of adding something visually impressive/record breaking I imagine a huge RMC can easily squeeze into the parks top 2 coasters
prozach626 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Oh man... That's CGA, KBF, CP, KD, and SDC all on 8/16... Enthusiast Christmas is coming strong this year Truth. We should have a lot to look forward to and follow during this off season.

And honestly, I think and end to the exhausting and baseless speculation (for all these parks) will be just about as nice as the announcements themselves!
bluestreak Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I didn't know Kings Dominion also announced the 16th as announcement day?

chickenbowl Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I didn't know Kings Dominion also announced the 16th as announcement day? I haven't seen anything official, but 3/4 CF parks are confirmed. Plus the "816." teaser thing... Don't expect anything different
Intimidator305 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I didn't know Kings Dominion also announced the 16th as announcement day? A Kings Dominion fan site administrator has confirmed it will be 8/16, but no official word on social media/media announcements yet from KD.
thrillseeker4552 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I didn't know Kings Dominion also announced the 16th as announcement day? A Kings Dominion fan site administrator has confirmed it will be 8/16, but no official word on social media/media announcements yet from KD. Also, considering that the 3 other Cedar Fair parks getting coasters next year are announcing on August 16, I don't see why Kings Dominion would be any different. That day can't come soon enough.
Intimidator305 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I mean what better day to announce a new roller coaster than on National Roller Coaster Day? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Nrthwnd Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 ^ Besides that... August 16, 2017 - Today's holidays are National Airborne Day, National Bratwurst Day, National Medical Dosimetrist Day, National Roller Coaster Day… Yum! (Besides National Roller Coaster Day)

A Kings Dominion fan site administrator has confirmed it will be 8/16, but no official word on social media/media announcements yet from KD. Yes, but if you look at all of the information it's pretty obvious the announcement for the RMC conversion to Race For Your Life Ishmael will be announced for Kings Dominion on 08/16.
Ed Farmer Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 ^ Burning bush fire effects, or is that too Six Flags?
Full Effect Ed Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 August 16th...that's a good day (aka my birthday) Happy Bday to me indeed!!!
Ride On_17 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 On Friday I was at the park and got to check out Mean Streak 2.0 progress, it's really coming along! It's been almost a month since I was last at the park and the lift hill is looking amazing. I can't wait to see it completed, it will stand out so much in the back of the park and look incredible from the midway. There's also ledgers being constructed for the 3rd and final lap of the ride layout. They're pretty low to the ground where the former queue entrance was so I'll be curious to find out where the new entrance will be, hopefully it still involves going underneath the structure like before. August 16th (and the 2018 season) can't get here soon enough! I wrote up a full trip report with pictures from my trip, but here are a few Mean Streak pics. http://thrillsawait.weebly.com/trip-reports/theyrecoming-thrills-and-maverick-marathons-back-to-the-point-721
thrillrider Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 I wonder if the haunted house inside of mean streak will open this year with all the construction? If so, it will make for some good pictures.
williamj2543 Posted July 24, 2017 Posted July 24, 2017 Considering most coasters CP has added have been added mostly in the spirit of adding something visually impressive/record breaking I imagine a huge RMC can easily squeeze into the parks top 2 coasters I have ridden one RMC before (twisted colossus), so if this is ANYTHING close to that it will probably be my new #1 and would probably beat out maverick (like TC did)
BigBad Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 There's no doubt in my mind that a goal of this project is to build a coaster that is going to contend for the world's top spot.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Just popped in here to make sure this didn't go unnoticed: Yes, but if you look at all of the information it's pretty obvious the announcement for the RMC conversion to Race For Your Life Ishmael will be announced for Kings Dominion on 08/16.
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 I wonder if the haunted house inside of mean streak will open this year with all the construction? If so, it will make for some good pictures. I was wondering the same thing, looking at those photos. That was one of the better Haunt mazes at CP last year.
southpuddle Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 New teaser video https://mobile.twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/889877924991700993/video/1
ripleybl Posted July 25, 2017 Posted July 25, 2017 Some guy on the Coasterforce forum suggested that it seems like with all these teasers it's setting up for some type of shootout. I like where his head is at and I was thinking a name like "Gunslinger" would be an awesome name for the RMC Mean Streak. Just thinking that would be a very cool theme to a ride
