singemfrc Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Also why are they still calling them selves the coaster capital? Because what is the "coaster capital?" The park with the most coasters? The best coasters? With the best coaster operations? The most coasters with a 48" or over height restriction? There isn't any definition. So I think if Cedar Point wants to keep calling themselves the "Coaster Capital" I think they have every right to. Though Magic Mountain has a few more coasters in total, CP has a better collection. If I rated each coaster at both parks and then compared the total numbers, CP would have a higher total. It's also just a better park all around. Better atmosphere, better operations. So I have no problem with their self declaration, I agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnumFreak25 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 This will probably never happen to Mantis but would be amazing. 1) Lap bar only floor-less trains. 2) First drop gets re-profiled to include a heart line roll like Steel Medusa. 3) Second half is indoors.

FaithPlus1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I say make a coaster with one big loop slight taller than YOLO. Then ad 2 kidding coasters to take back the record. A stupid Green Lantern clone could fit anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 when was the last time a non intamin. Master has its track modified? Think we can see a new first drop on mantis? A Nitro-styled drop would be welcomed. cache.rcdb.com/eif44t3ago00d9o8g0000j.jpg Yes! That is what I was thinking! However like the other poster said, replacing the first drop with a diving inline roll would be awesome and give a new inversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CedarFair1 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 So, two stand up roller coasters close in 2014 to make way for "future projects", anyone else seeing a similar attraction for both Canada's Wonderland and Cedar Point? Reading the announcement and news articles they sure word it like its gone, and Cedar Fair could just want nothing to do with stand up coasters.

Intimidator305 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Second half is indoors. Call me crazy, but I was thinking the same thing. Having new sit-down trains, a new theme/name, a new color scheme AND having the second half indoors with special effects would be very marketable. Definitely a heck of a lot better than some of the coasters parks are putting in nowadays... Totally could be done in my opinion, but I still don't think it will. Everything after the MCBR could easily be put indoors and is low to the ground so a high ugly building wouldn't be necessary. Plus, the second half is in an area of the park that is hardly visible, so the building wouldn't have to be beautiful. But we all know CP doesn't mind ugly buildings anyways *cough*Disaster Transport*cough*. See below: I'd take this over a Wonder Mountain's Guardian ride any day. Before you jump on me, I don't think this is happening, just throwing out some wild thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheel1231 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Next year, the park will introduce the world's first stand up ring of fire ride called Loop Scream. It will use the old trains on mantis and mantis will become part of my washing machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hey...hey Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Um... i think Mantis is going to relocate https://twitter.com/TonyClarkCP/status/506467064803254272/photo/1 3. Relocate Mantis Does anyone think relocating Mantis to Canada's Wonderland is an option at all? I'd be so upset if so the ride hurts so much I rode it two weeks ago with my partner and he hated it to I really hope we don't see Mantis show up... From what I saw on the Canada Wonderland forum, they showed a Google Earth pick of the old Skyrider site that looks a little similar to a Mantis footprint. However, I am actually pulling for a redo with new floorless trains, paint and refurb of the area. And Valleyfair and other CF parks need a coaster before CW.

Ed Farmer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Then ad 2 kidding coasters to take back the record. Six Flags already have ad coasters. I think they were kidding about Looping Dragon being a coaster, too. It is pretty clear what is going to be announced here: Dueling Draggin' Iron!!! Double the Dullness. And Double the Duelness too.

Diamondbacker27 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Darkness falls on #12. Does this mean the 2015 addition will be announced on Oct. 12th? Or do you think it will be the 19th along with Mantis's squishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCF Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 You know if Mantis does get the overhaul, I hope some good money is put into some extremely nice themeing. Banshee is exceptional for Cedar Fair, so hopefully we see a nicely themed ride instead of just a sign for Cedar Point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANJLOVER14 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Looks like somebody took TPR Forum posts a little too seriously Among the (hopeful) conjecture from park fanatics: a complete reworking of wooden coaster Mean Streak, a new water coaster known as AquaTrax and – perhaps most popular – the addition of a dark ride to the midway area near the Blue Streak roller coaster. www.cleveland.com (last paragraph) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPSFMMCW Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Here's what I gotta say: I hope for a new coaster if it were to be added next year, however if Mantis were leaving, a new coaster probably wouldn't go in its spot till 2016 at the latest. So if thats the case, then I hope that they re-profile it and make it a lot better. The reason I say this is because I'm going next year and I don't want to lose a credit unless I'm getting a new one in its place But it'll probably be the re profile. Second half is indoors. Call me crazy, but I was thinking the same thing. Having new sit-down trains, a new theme/name, a new color scheme AND having the second half indoors with special effects would be very marketable.

But we all know CP doesn't mind ugly buildings anyways *cough*Disaster Transport*cough*. I love this idea! I hope it happens! It probably won't though, but I can dream!
