The Yeti Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I read my post and I saw that I phrased it wrong I want to point out amidst this argument that if a ride pulls a high amount of g's in one spot, it does not make it a forceful ride. After Millennium Force's first drop and pull out, the ride is not all that intense or forceful from what I remember...maybe I'm wrong, too. Either way, I'd say at least 3-4 high g-force moments are necessary for me to consider a particular ride forceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) I took this July 11. I don't know if this has been posted before or has been there forever. If so, please disregard the following. EDIT: Never mind, Google Maps confirms this has been there since at least August of 2011. Edited July 30, 2015 by JonnyRCT3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImNotOneOfYou Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I took this July 11. I don't know if this has been posted before or has been there forever. If so, please disregard the following. This may point towards Raptor getting a fresh coat of paint next season. Which further fuels/confirms the new coaster rumor as Raptor would look nice & pretty next to the new hotness. If I recall correctly Mantis had some "sample" paint added last season, so next year we may see a repainted Raptor. Interesting nonetheless. At least there's no orange in sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Projektion Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Makes sense, didn't Volcano get a fresh coat of paint when i305 was added (or am I mis-remembering things) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) The URL for anyone who wants to look: http://web.archive.org/web/20130907164200/https://www.cedarpoint.com/haunt Edit: and I'm pretty sure it's fake as I think Halloweekends doesn't start until the 18th of September, not the 13th as that URL would suggest.

DoinItForTheFame Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I seriously feel like all we are waiting on at this point are official Dive Machine statistics, and a layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroGravity55 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) ^In 2013. It looks like some one hacked that web archive thinking they could pull a fast one and get away with it without the park noticing since it was back from 2013.

ZeroGravity55 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I mean seriously, why would the park be using a coaster that isn't even built yet as an advertising piece to bring people to an event in September and the coaster doesn't open for another 8 months?

Maybe it's filler and was used because it looks dramatic against the dark night sky. Parks do this all the time and enthusiats always look way too far into these things. Maybe I'm wrong and this is another teaser (and I do believe a dive machine will be announced next month), but this might have absolutely nothing to do with 2016 plans and everything to do with filling in space on an overlooked background--just like the Kings Dominion website background mystery coaster.

Foreshadowing? I don't necessarily think they put it on there to bring people into the park. I mean most of the GP isn't going to see the Dive Machine there, and even realize it is a dive machine. They just see a coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcurry11 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 We spend way to much time speculating on things Now, in my opinion, it is just something they put out there to make all of use, who probably have it figured out, go crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 If I remember correctly that paint was there last last summer... You're correct on that one. Raptor does need a paint job though... and new lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator305 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Cedar Fair has a trend of painting/sprucing up the whole area around where the new attractions go each season so I suspect Raptor will be painted this offseason to look good right next to the big shiny B&M next door.

DJeXeL Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I as well am willing to fork over some cash to someone that frequents the park to pick me up one of these beauties.... PM me if you're able to do this for me. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I will be at the park on Saturday or Sunday but I'm unsure if I'll be able to ship them. Does anybody know which gift shop they'll sell them in? Also, the CoasterDynamix Facebook page said that if you call the park you should be able to order one over the phone.
