Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[hendrixmarshalljames]

I don't know how many times I've walked by MS and thought to myself..."They should let RMC go blank check crazy on that thing"

 

Hooray for Coaster nerds everywhere; CP, and their "Drop the Mic" moment.

[Ape]

Couldn't ask for more from the ride or the park.

 

I browsed the comments of some of the announcements today including Cedar Point and oo boy is it a great source of entertainment. I am not a spoiled or all knowing enthusiast just some of the things on there had me cracking up at the lack of common sense.

 

edit: also the characters lack of enthusiasm in the animation is entertaining to me

End my suffering

Today is quite a day. But this, this hit the mark just right for me. If only I could go to America soon to try it out.

I knew the ride would look amazing and that I would be planning a trip to Cedar Point next year, but my jaw still hit the floor. Seeing the shear size of the ride actually become a reality blew me away.

 

The first half looks amazing and then the drop after the MCBR appears that it'd be as tall as Storm Chaser (or a bit taller) so there's still more than enough steam to give crazy air to the end.

Steel Vengeance looks like an amazing ride. I knew it would be awesome, but it even beat my expectations. A 2018 trip to Cedar Point is in my future.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Having this right next door to Maverick, I'm going to have a hard time wanting to ever leave the back of the park!!

[Moley]

The Planet Coaster partnership is pretty awesome. Hopefully they're the first of many parks to use it for marketing purposes.

[VF15]

Definitely making plans to go back to Ohio next year to ride Steel Vengeance. This looks like it could quite possibly be the new best coaster at Cedar Point.

[VACoasterdude]

SV looks like an amazing, balls to the wall, helluva coaster. Can't wait to get to CP in 2018 and ride it. Between SV and Twisted Timbers @ KD and Mystics Timbers @ KI, I will definitely be purchasing a Platinum Pass for 2018!

[Ed Farmer]

It has already been mentioned multiple times, but it will be hard to leave that immediate section of the park once 2018 gets here. The fact a ride breaks records doesn't do much for me these days- I'm more interested in the substance, and this design has that in spades. What a ride, what a year for CF in general... Can't wait.

This looks like the best RMC ever built! Can't wait to ride!

[Extreme]

Forgive my ignorance, But is this in addition to what they are doing to Mean Streak. Or is this what the RMC Mean Streak is.

[ripleybl]

SV will definitely be the best coaster of 2018, if not taking the #1 spot in the world too! Obviously we all have to take her for a spin, but I can just tell by the POV animation IMO. I'm totally buying the platinum pass as KD is in my backyard and Twisted Timbers looks so freaking amazing too! The question is, what weekend do I head to CP next year?!?! Decisions, decisions...

Yep. This is RMC Mean Streak.

 

This thing looks absolutely monstrous and one of RMCs best coasters yet. Can't wait to ride it next year.

[PixelRush]

This will be a real challenger for #1 ride in the park for many guests! It blows away records, has a crazy layout, and a fabulous park to be in! I'm quite sure the Cedar Point fanboys have been appeased (for now)...

 

As with Twisted Timbers, this new train modification they're doing is very strange to me. I feel like it may be part of an attempt to fix friction issues, or something of that nature. I don't exactly like the look of the new zero cars, but it's not anything that will detract from the experience.

[BintamiM]

I think I just had an orgasm. Gosh this ride looks awesome

[snapfordakids]

So I've have yet to visit this park. It's always been on my bucket list of course, but I am so happy that this will be the top-tier-coaster to look forward to, as well as the rest of their line-up next year. So glad I waited 32 years!

 

I just pray it operates smoothly on it's inaugural season, but I don't really have any doubts about that seeing that their isn't a launch.

[coasterer22]

The elements on this ride look absolutely insane! Not to mention that it seems like the ride goes on forever; there is a lot of track to this beast. Well done Cedar Point and RMC! Looking forward to getting over to Ohio and riding this.

So, besides Maverick and Valravn and now Steel Vengeance, which other two coasters at the park have first drops of 90 degrees or more?

TTD does. Not sure about the other one.

Maybe they mean GateKeeper? Does that count?

[tanthonyam]

Maybe now this will take some crowds away from Maverick...
