RollerManic Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 IMO that kills the wooden coaster feeling entirely. I have a large distaste for Goliath's lift hill. Paired with topper track, I sometimes forget that it is a wooden coaster. I'm not a fan of that lift either but it's not like RMC only does that. Outlaw run looks perfectly "woodyish" except for one or two bits of steel in the inversions. I have no problem woth topper track. But when you pair it with that lift, I slightly forget to think of it as a woodie. And plus the old lift looked massive.. Would have been pretty cool. But I dont think it would even be cost efficient to replace Mean Streak's lift like this lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftThrill Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 RMC Mean Streak (Evil Streak as I'd call it) would use Mean Streak's current structure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tubs023 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I left Cedar Point Saturday morning and I noticed two large truck loads of roller coaster supports located in the right parking lot exiting the park....Have this been mentioned anywhere else?

DrachenfireOP Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Woah, what color? Did you get pictures? It'd be interesting to compare them to the pics of the B&M plant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumFreak25 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Sounds fake to me. But if its real that means its probably not B&M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnumFreak25 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the track at the factory currently hasn't been shipped out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB305 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the track at the factory currently hasn't been shipped out yet. He did say supports though, not track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superbatboy Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 If this is true, this coaster must be huge if they have to already store parts on site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Track for Gatekeeper did not arrive till late October 2012. I don't know when supports arrived for it, but it was certainly not 3 months before that and before the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madsencarson Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'll believe it when I see pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrachenfireOP Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Not to stir the rumor mill since the CP track is unsubstantiated right now, but Griffon track/supports started arriving around this time in 2006. If the dive machine rumors are true, they're a bit more involved to build due to their size. The footers need to sit a long time of course too on any ride.

Yamez Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'm in the camp of "pics or it didn't happen", but that said it wasn't uncommon in the past for the park to start receiving deliveries of ride parts before the heavy ground work has started. A solid example of this was Maverick. Track had started to appear in May of 2006, while site clearing was still on-going. The track was placed in the field next to Breakers Express. So I wouldn't say its not possible, but with someone with such a low post count giving this information without any pictures to back it up, I'm going to sit firmly on the skeptical side. If the track/supports is delivered to the parking lot though I wouldn't expect it to stay there. Halloweekends crowds are massive, and they can max out the parking lot - so they'll need all the space they can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollerManic Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) ^That could just be why. Maybe they want to ship it in and move it out of the parking lot before Haunt so theyre not wasting space? Anybody know what time of day ride shipments usually arrive? Not only is the track massive but also the supports. I know they probably have room, but this is my only guess. They haven't poured footers and those would have to sit anyway.

Coaster Hero Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 pics or it didn't happen! I actually wouldn't be surprised if it were true, dive coasters have a pretty "involved" building process. My question is, why recieve supports before pouring the footers? (if they haven't already). Even for Fury 325 which is much larger than what this will be, the footers were poured before the announcement and then the track and supports arrived. I'm going to reserve my judgement until pictures are posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunaSled Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 These supports supposedly spotted Saturday morning would have surely generated some pictures by Sunday night. time to move on, this didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vonni Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 I'd expect to see at least some footers placed before seeing supports arrive. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 You would expect footers soon ....if it's even a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster19 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Adding to the rumor mill, I believe I know what we are getting!! Not only a roller coaster but something else! when using Cedar Point's newest version of their app I found this: This would make sense with tiki twirl being added this year, just bringing back more history!! -yes I am kidding with this, but have you found any other fun stuff with the app??- In other news: I forgot to quote them, but the comm enemy about the footers for Griffin, could this dive coaster just simply be smaller track size and thus can start later??
