Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[Hercules]

I'm telling you all, you don't see it now because it is not some kind of big and bad record breaker, but this thing could be really good.

[Cheesey]

Holy crap! It's not an aquatrax! (asuming that that video is real, which it probably is.) OHHHH, this thread is going to break into chaos in the next 30 minutes...

 

Anyways, this new ride looks really cool, with what looks like to be many airtime hills and some cool non-inversion elements. The theming looks cool too.

 

I guess Screamscape was right when they said that this thing would be made up of small trains that would hold 12 people...

[TheArchfiend]

So... exactly what record is this thing breaking???

[ParkTrips]

Time to close the thread.

Are you kidding me? With nothing "official" to start a new thread with? I think we'll keep it open for a little while longer.

 

I have to laugh at the short trains, it looks a lot like Rita with inversions... or as pointed out, Speed Monster.

[Johnny Upsidedown]

Sweet!!! Looks like fun. Hopefully the line for MF will be shorter.

 

But really it looks like a CP version of a kiddie coaster.

[Hercules]

That one inversion that comes out of nowhere looks like it could put you on your a$$.

 

There has to be a catch...

[DarkStitch626]

LOLZ not an aqua trax sorry the trains look like Speed monster!

It always saddens me when there's a leak before the ride is officially announced. I realize as more and more people "know" that it becomes harder and harder to keep the secret. This is why I wish CP would announce their rides earlier, so they can announce them with the fanfair they deserve. I don't blame you for posting the link to youtube here, however I do blame the uploader. It's just poor taste. Can't you wait one more day?

I can't believe you idiots thought this would be an Aquatrax.

 

I bet this thread has at least 15 new pages by 9 p.m. est.

[Hercules]

It also bothers me that things get leaked.

 

98 degrees anyone? With Nick Lachey singing at the opening?

[Hercules]

Just remember, there is still some speculation out there. I mean, this really could be a record breaker. There could be 8 barrel rolls inside of that tunnel for all we know

It's breaking the record for tricking ridiculous amounts of people into thinking that it would be an aquatrax. I mean hey, it got me...

Yep, I just watched the vid a 2nd time and in the time it took to do that...1:13 I think?...a whole new page was posted.

I never thought it was an Aquatrax for a second.

[robbalvey]

It's pretty much what I figured it would be. Nothing ground breaking in the sense that it's not the tallest and fastest, which is probably a GOOD thing.

 

If anything it reminds me more of "Cedar Point's answer to Power Keg" than anything else. It's got a lift hill part, it's got a launched part, it's got some western themed stuff, and then the "more" part is the inversions and the 90 degree drop.

 

It will be interesting to see what the height restrictin is because this ride seems more "family friendly" than is does "scare the crap out of you" and if it's got a lower height restriction (48" like MF does) then it will probably do very well for the park.

Lol, I know.....people are going to start whining, if these sources are true, I'm glad it's not an Aquatrax.

[Hercules]

Nah, only the fanboys will cry.

Looks like the poster of the Maverick video just got PWN3D cause it is now removed from YouTube.

D'oh! Beat me by seconds to post that.

[Jonathan]

I think it looks really cool. I loved Powder Keg, and this looks like it has the potential to be a lot better (although they are from different manufacturers I feel like there are a lot of similarities between the two). It looks like Cedar Point is actually trying to make a good fun ride instead of a gimmick (not that their other rides aren't fun).

[FeelTheFORCE]

^^^ Yea lol at least we got to see it!

[DarkStitch626]

This reminds me of Speed Monster kinda..with a Storm Runner feel and Cali Screamin..

 

 

 

Ahhh chaos,panic and disorder my job is done here..

[Wes]

It's a Notquatrax.
