DaMarkSta Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 A Mantis lead car was used in Halloweekends even last year so I expect to see it pop up somewhere during Halloweekends this year. I know they sent one train to the Roller Coaster Museum but they still have the other I assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDawg Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 ^^ Awesome! Those are some of the best pics I've seen of the track! The colors are starting to grow on me. A little off topic, but I wonder if a Mantis lead car will be used for a Haunt prop this year, like they did with Disaster Transport? Thanks! And also I went on STR today, I noticed the Mantis lead car in a storage area. So I'm guessing yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I was at the park today and got some pics of the staging area. OMG! It's so big. ... No... really, the track is huge! Can't wait for the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I just returned from the park and took some pictures. Here is a mini photo trip report. There are some pictures of the holiday festivities, and lots of new construction. One of the highlights of the weekend, was being able to see off kilter at my home park. Lots of halloween props are starting to pop up. I wish they had blue moon It was also dollar days at the park Gatekeeper was up and running Rahhhhhh!!! This bird just crapped on my head. Even though today is considerd the last day of summer by some, the park looked great. Beaver tails has moved, but was not open. Lets take a look at the mystery construction area. All kinds of markers and stuff. The pumpkin patch is in trouble. Something is not quite right here.... Look whats peeking up over the fence! Shoot the rapids was a popular ride today Whats with the wolf? My son was having a blast at the dancing fountains. Now lets take a looksie at the track pieces Cedarpoint= xworks I am still on the fence about the color combo The supports are HUGE! Still lots of room for more track. I love the gas prices in ohio. Compared to Michigan gas prices. That's it from this mini report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koasterking48 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Thanks for the update. It seems likely to me that they are going to build a new marina entrance alongside the coaster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Password121 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I really hope they don't advertise the marina entrance. I'm sure it will always be much quieter than the main entrance, but it's really nice to get a jump start with early entry with a shorter line to enter and have the chance to chat with some regulars/enthusiasts.

Nrthwnd Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Great TR. And it's dizzying, looking at all those directional signs on the fence, with all that information under each pic! I would need a rest stop, just after going by this fence! EDIT to add: Self-serve beer rawks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBpony414 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 ^ Thrillrider: Nice mini TR. The wolf on the shirt is for Rougarou which is a werewolf. Can someone explain how to reply quote someone's post while including a single picture of theirs in my reply? Example: I'd like to use the Rougarou wolf shirt from the post I'm replying to instead of just typing. I feel stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiABeta Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 (edited) Nice to see GateKeeper back working. Also so much track. Only a few more days till the announcement. Can't wait for a chance to see the first Dive Coaster I will ever ride. Edited September 8, 2015 by MiABeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmax Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Still dumbfounded why they went with orange if it's Valravn. Wouldn't Purple and black (with possible hints of navy blue) fit better with the name/theme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcurry11 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I think CP wanted to keep their skyline bright. I for one would love to see a black or grey or purple track. But If you look across the skyline, it is all bright colors; reds, blues, greens, and oranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyRCT3 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Still dumbfounded why they went with orange if it's Valravn. Wouldn't Purple and black (with possible hints of navy blue) fit better with the name/theme? Everything from the track color to what type of light bulb the station lights use is carefully thought out and planned over many months. So we should all just trust and believe that it was the best possible choice. They've given us the likes of Maverick, Dragster, Millennium Force, Magnum, and Raptor. They know what they're doing with their colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazelgreen Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Anyone else watching the webcam like me? Lots of trucks driving around. Also wanted to ask how is CP on Halloween day/weekend? I was thinking it might not be too bad as most people will be trick or treating or going to parties? Or is that a pretty crazy weekend? Debating if we should make a trip out or just stick to SFGAm.

Wouldn't Purple and black (with possible hints of navy blue) fit better with the name/theme? I still think it looks more golden brown than orange. Also, I really like the colors!
