FeelTheFORCE Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I don't know if this means anything, but on fun TV the other day at Cedar Point there was a trivia question something like "which kind of ride will cedar point add in 2017?". The answers were "rollercoaster", "thrill ride", "family ride", and "other". I waited for the answer, and it was "other". So would that mean dark ride, or general improvement year...? Perhaps just mean streak getting revamped or something? I literally have no idea I'm just curious to see what you all think. It's said that all year. I saw it back in June and posted about it. It's probably just Tony being Tony and teasing us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolandmammoth Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I believe they said the same thing for 2016 on the trivia thing last year. It ended with "You didnt really think we would yell you, did you?". Or something along those lines. Its just to get people talking or excited about the park's future.

Jason82807 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Is anyone interested in carpooling to Cedar Point from Chicago 9/1-9/2? We will be leaving Chicago on 9/1 7am and leaving Sandusky for Chicago on 9/2 late afternoon or evening. You'd have to make your own lodging arrangements (we're staying at the Howard Johnson Express on Milan rd). We have room for 2 more in my car, at 2014 Chevy Spark.

KBrylczyk Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 The "other" ride will be a Triotech shooter. Voyage To The Iron Erie Reef. Instead of mechanical sea creatures you have to go up against trash and dead bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman820 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't know if this would matter, but I am staying at Breakers Express for HalloWeekneds. I'll look out for some new track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of mechanical sea creatures you have to go up against trash and dead bodies. Don't forget it is obviously also going to be the worlds first indoor aquatrax, with the worlds fastest launch at 250mph, straight into a brake run bringing it down to a nice slow 2.6mph. where you will continue the fight against trash, and dead bodies.

ImNotOneOfYou Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I was at Cedar Point a few weeks ago, and I noticed that only two of the water cannons on Maverick were shooting. Is there a reason why this happened? Did Intamin manufacture the water cannons as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileybrucem Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I don't know if this would matter, but I am staying at Breakers Express for HalloWeekneds. I'll look out for some new track. So you are aware, the Breakers Express pool is only 4 foot deep max and the ice machine on the third floor was broken when we went. It's a decent hotel, but not a wonderful one. You can't beat the theme park though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Peabody Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 ^This is freaking awesome. Glad to see that they are offering Goose Island and not just NASCAR beer! Don't get too excited. Goose Island is owned by In-Bev, the parent company of Busch, and that pretty much eliminates any chance of them offering Great Lakes or any other craft beer that would be worth it. However, if this proves successful, perhaps Hofbrauhaus Cleveland can open a competing kiosk and offer some decent beer. Prosit! While I like the idea of Hofbrauhaus or some other type of Bavarian beer, I would disagree about Great Lakes. They have a decent presence in the park already as I know of at least three places where you can buy it in bottles. And I believe that they have had it on draft two different times in three years at the Red Garter Saloon. Not sure what they have on draft there this year as I have yet to visit the park, but they usually will try to have one microbeer that is not Inbev related. And I believe that Lusty Lil's also had a decent micro on draft last year, but I am not 100% certain if it was Great Lakes. I should have been more specific. I meant there'd be no craft brews dispensed from this kiosk. It's certainly possible for craft beer to be offered at the other outlets in the park. I distinctly remember a pumpkin ale being offered at the Red Garter Saloon during Halloweekends last year. Personally, I'd love to find Great Lakes Alberta Clipper or Nosferatu in the park. We see the Edge of Madness show every year and often enjoy a beer while doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kcurry11 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 ^Not yet. Let the park take its time. When they feel like everything has blown over, they will announce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think this might turn into this years Tempesto... So I look forward to watching Cedar Points new lawn ornament being built...

NathanT32 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valravn read this and I think you will know why they may change the name now. Who knows maybe not, but interesting story on the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CedarFair1 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 If they change the name they are being to sensitive, Americans have always been way too sensitive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanT32 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Maybe respecting the person who was killed? I personally like the name, its fitting of a Dive Coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB305 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Yes, the general public will somehow make the connection between an idiot who got himself killed and a new, totally different coaster with an intimidating name and take that as CP trying to offend and insult the guy....

robbalvey Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 If they are going to re-brand anything, wouldn't it make more sense to re-brand the ride that actually killed the guy, which is based on an animal that kills? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_of_prey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DILinator Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'm about at the point where I'm willing to make a sig bet with anybody who actually thinks Valravn is going to get "re-branded"! Seriously, people! Raptor, Rougarou, even that GateKeeper creature looks a little evil! Delaying the announcement, especially given the theme? Understandable. Changing the name and re-branding everything? Not. Going. To. Happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
