coasterkyle Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 New millennium restraints. So they have OTSR restraints like Maverick now? Is that in addition to the T-bars as they're still there?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Password121 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I hope that if Ripcord does end up in Shoot the Rapids' spot that it's more of a temporary fix. It might have said earlier but the Fromtier Trail is actually one of the nicer, most cohesive midways if any major amusement park in the same style as Cedar Point. A 100+ foot tall arch smack in the middle that has to remove more than a few trees (and otherwise I wouldn't care about trees in an amusement park, but they're actually really nice here) wouldn't look so "Best Amusemenr Park in the World" to me. Anyways, thanks for the updates and pictures, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blk_mamba Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 New millennium restraints. I do not understand the restraint change for MF. I will go on the record and have a Coaster-damus moment and say this will be the year MF loses it's number one ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appel Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) New millennium restraints. Bad joke.... Edited February 20, 2016 by appel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generational Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Those restraints are real, 100%, no doubt about it, no question. Coasterdamus is completely literal though. Nothing goes over his head, for his reflexes are too quick. He would always catch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedarpointguru Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Wow, people, it's clearly a joke! That's Maverick's old restraint painted yellow. Can't you notice the red underneath the yellow? Can't you also notice that only one seat (out of the four) that has it? And that you can't possibly have that and the T-Bar? Cedar Point is pulling a fast one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, thanks for the updates and pictures, guys! I have to agree. Putting Ripcord and Skyscraper in that area would not look right. If they're going to move these for a potential SC revamp (which I certainly hope is the case, because it needs it), I would rather they figure out a way to move them closer somewhere towards the Slingshot by Gemini or somewhere between there and Mean Streak.

coasterkid124 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 They went that far by painting Maverick's old restraints for a joke? Lol that's great. They had me going for a second until I looked closer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koasterking48 Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 A quick recap of today's presentation: -Shoot the Rapids is officially confirmed to be removed and scrapped (will not be relocated) -Go-Karts and Skyscraper are also being removed. Ripcord is staying, but it's unclear if it'll be relocated from its current spot. -Chick-Fil-A is being replaced with Frontier Inn, serving chicken tenders, salads, etc. -Hurricane Hannah's is being replaced with a Coca-Cola Station -New pre-opening backstage tour of Valravn -New Ride Warriors Club that "will provide exclusive experiences thought the season" Membership is $120 and is limited to 1000 members -Coasting for Kids will not return at Cedar Fair parks. Instead, each park will find and support local charities. CP will be hosting a Give Kids the World "reunion" at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 -Shoot the Rapids is officially confirmed to be removed and scrapped (will not be relocated) I'm actually a little saddened by the removal of Shoot The Rapids. I was looking forward to our visit this summer to get to ride it again. Oh well. -Go-Karts and Skyscraper are also being removed. Ripcord is staying, but it's unclear if it'll be relocated from its current spot. Okay, maybe I am in the minority here, but I really enjoy Skyscraper, and I am sad to hear that it is leaving! As for the go carts?? Eh, Bye Felicia. I couldn't careless that they are leaving. -Chick-Fil-A is being replaced with Frontier Inn, serving chicken tenders, salads, etc. I see nothing wrong with this!

SbSteveZ Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Honestly I loved all the jokes and teases at the Winter Chill Out today! It was a really good time! I'm also glad they were selling those nano coasters! I picked up Valravn, Millennium, Gatekeeper and Dragster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brassinthegrass Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I just had a thought... I can not wait to see the views of the lake from the top of Valravn's top of the lift! The shot you get from TTD and MF are great, but only last a moment... This will be a few beautiful seconds of bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meghna Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 http://www.themeparktourist.com/features/20140523/18150/10-hidden-secrets-roller-coaster-capital-world?page=1&utm_source=tpt&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=relatedcontent I know a few of these are true, the Top Thrill and StR incidents. But what about some of the other stuff. None of the ride operations things surprise me. The article makes it seem like employee housing is heaven, though, which is not true. It's been compared to a prison, among other things. The cheap food is true. VERY true. It's a good thing that associates from other parks can use the main Bistro, otherwise I would have spent a bunch more money than necessary on eh-quality food. No dippin' dots or anything special though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I know about the cheap food too. I ate in their cafe back in September and their prices were cheaper than at Dorney cafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
