^ What's an Aquatrax? Is that some kind of new red and tan colored coaster that Cedar Point's putting in over near Mean Streak for the '07 season?

No, that red and tan coaster by Mean Streak is going to be an Aquatrax. The Jesus came to me in a dream and told me so.

[Worm]

^Now your going a bit far!

[BeemerBoy]

^ Just curious, what was a bit too far about that? The fact that it's an Aquatrax?

You do realize that is a joke pertaining to Beemerboys avatar, right? That's why I directed that comment towards him.

 

Anyway, lets not get off the Aqua Trax at Cedar Point in 2007 discussion.

[Screamomatic]

Does anyone find it wierd that all the 'ground hugging' turns are actually quite high off the ground...

 

Damn, it just might be a non-inverting wingwalker... but I still think Aqautrax.

[Twister II]

I'm not sure about you guys, but something here SCREAMS Rita...

[absolutace]

 

you are going to be sucking your thumb with your tail between your legs in 9 months time.. 8 months and 29 days rather

I love it when people claim they know what's being installed, and they totally show off, thinking they're tricking people. Dude, you're not fooling us. Maybe it's not an Aquatrax, but you don't know what it is.

 

what are you talking about? i never said i knew what was being built. read the posts properly before you write your responses!

But it is an Aquatrax. No guessing about it.

Youll never get through to them.

My prediction is an almost copy of Rita. Not exact, probably a few more turns.

 

Maybe 1 inversion.

they drained thunder canyon??? or was it just closed for winter? anyone know?

 

anyone?

[Carnage]

^ thunder canyon is drained and filled every day. That picture was taken in the morning before the ride was started.

seriously? how come?

[Robbie]

I believe it is because it uses lake erie's water and they clean it every night or morning.

[Calvin]

I'm also somewhat sure that it has to do with the fact that they can't leave it running overnight, and if they let it just stop and leave it stagnant, it would be hard to get it moving in the morning.

[absolutace]

gross.. that water is nasty already

 

how long does it take them to empty and refill all that?

[Calvin]

I wouldn't have any idea, but it probably wouldn't take a terribly long time...

[Twister II]

The same is with Disaster Canyon at Elitch Gardens.

 

It has to be drained every night mostly to inspect PVC pipes that are bolted to the bottom that make the 'rapids'. It takes like 2 to 4 mins to fill.

It hasn't been announced yet, so you can't be 100 percent certain. Everything so far seems to be pointing to an Aquatrax, but it still may be something different.
