MagnumFreak25 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Ya what ever CP did to re-track Mean Streak it worked pretty well. I just found this though. Link This basically sums up every single rumor about next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF15 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 ^ When I read that article, I found a link to a picture of some paint testing that they seemed to be doing on Mantis (picture is from CPfansite in July). I'm still betting on floorless trains (and possibly renaming to King James). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Mean Streak was extremely smooth this year when I rode it at CoasterMania. It just has such a boring layout, like every other Dinn coaster in existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid124 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Mean Streak was extremely smooth this year when I rode it at CoasterMania. It just has such a boring layout, like every other Dinn coaster in existence. I had a very good ride on Mean Streak last year. I don't know why a lot of people complain about it, because there are a lot worse coasters than this. The only Dinn layout that was ever good was Predator, but you get the hell beat out of you every ride (at least in the back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Mean Streaks up on the Web Cam again. I always forget how amazing it looks. If it does have to leave sometime I hope something just as amazing to look at takes its place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 My Official Final Prediction: Mantis conversion and flat/dark ride. If dark ride, then it'd be the WMG version. Which I guess you could technically also call a coaster. Mantis will be renamed King James. Lets see how correct this ends up being!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OFFICIAL final prediction that will happen is that Magnum will sink into Lake Erie next year. It's too bad, it's one of my favorite coasters there.

SingleRiderCam Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 MY official final prediction is that Power Tower will be moved to another spot in the park and they will build Charlie Brown: Drop of Good Grief on Top Thrill Dragster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 My official prediction IS that Cedar Point is DEFINITELY getting a massive Lebron James head on top of WindSeeker and renaming the ride 'King James' Spinning Scepter.' They will also move Millennium Force onto a pier in the middle of Lake Erie, bill it as a new coaster and call it 'Lake Force.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Peck Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 My Final Thoughts on a 2015 new ride for the Point/Improvements: • Drop Tower off of Dragster -or- Spinning/Inverting Thrill Ride • Retheme of Mantis with or without a Sit-down conversion • Finished refurbishment of the Breakers hotel (confirmed) • Rethemed restaurant/perhaps a new chain • Other new food options • Refurbished Picnic Pavilions • More other aesthetic improvements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterguy21 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) ^^Must have found that somewhere else. I have been following this since the very beginning and that was definitely NOT one of his tweets. I'm going to keep my predictions fairly realistic (they get more out of hand as they get down . But like the weather forecast, anything past Day Three is a Crap Shoot). It'll be a great next few years at the park as the 150th Anniversary Season is worked towards. My official prediction(s) for 2015: -Major Flat Ride Addition (Don't know what, but something of that sort) OR -Dark Ride Themed to the Old West (though, unless they really upped this, I feel this would be more of a family ride than a thrill ride. See WMG) OR -GCI Wooden Coaster (fairly cheap and can be built in a smaller time frame) OR -Another S&S 4D Free Spin with higher capacity (can also be built in a smaller time frame) We already know that they are pumping lots of money into the Hotel Breakers renovation (which is extremely exciting). Last year's additions and changes were also great. I'm sure we'll see much more in the way of park improvements as well. We may also, as long as the behind the scenes work went well, see a coaster renamed King James. Whether it be temporarily or permanently, we'll soon see. I'm excited no matter what is announced next season. Anything for a park is exciting to me because they always seem to be good moves, no matter what the general consensus is otherwise. Whatever it is...High Noon to me screams out Frontier Trail/Frontiertown. Edited August 30, 2014 by Coasterguy21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianojohn Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Since it seems we're all posting what we WISH CP would build, I will add to that: LOST Cedar Point (a la Lost Kennywood) Featuring the return of Pirate Ride (the building is still there) and (in my dreams) Earthquake! Some classic flats: Double Ferris Wheel, Tiki Twirl, Star Jets, Bayern Kurve, and of course Schwabinchen! But in reality, I am good with the money going to infrastructure and improvements. While the GP would prefer a flashy new ride or mega coaster every year, the smart investment is on lodging and making the park as attractive as possible. Maintain the historical aspect while updating aging structures to appeal to a larger demographic. Hotel improvements, sit down/floorless Mantis, and possibly a flat or two.

MagnumFreak25 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Here's my prediction: 1) Maverick and Dragster get a repaint. 2) Mantis gets Floor-less trains. 3) New inverting Flat ride (Fabbri Cataclysm?) is placed near Mantis and that general area gets a refresh.

willh51 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I'm so glad Cedar Point had the live web cams this year. I've spent many an afternoon at the office wishing that was me on Millennium Force or Power Tower. Nice to see Skyhawk running both sides today, too!

Coasterguy21 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^I do like the position of the webcams today. Looking straight down on Power Tower so you can see the ride operating=AWESOME! Then of course the Millennium Force, Mantis, Iron Dragon, Frontiertown view. Digging it! I still think that third webcam location may be for construction. That's off of Gemini looking back towards the woods/Millennium Island/Frontiertown. But who knows, it could just be a "third webcam" too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It would be great if this were to be a coaster, highly doubt it's along those lines though. Maybe a thrill ride, though they haven't done much teasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterguy21 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^Well we already know it'll be a thrill ride of some sort: http://www.sanduskyregister.com/blog/reporters-notebook/5839991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterguy21 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 ^Yes it could. But I was just going with his "maybe a thrill ride" line. We know it'll be a thrill ride that caters to teenagers. Just remember, WindSeeker is a thrill ride too. I must say that I am afraid of heights and was scared crapless my first time on that ride. But after that I have come to appreciate the view from the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
