christianscoasters Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 6). I was surprised by just how far Cedar Point's resort area extended (the Holiday Inn I was staying at was across the street from Castaway Bay, which was about 5 miles away from the park). That Holiday Inn is about a half of a mile from the entrance of the causeway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedarpointguru Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Call me crazy, but my gut feeling tells me that there are possibly three RMC projects at Cedar Fair next year. Canada's Wonderland's announcement is still pending, KD's big hype turned into a big let down, and Cedar Point announced the closure of Mean Streak with no news on what's to come. Something tells me that Cedar Fair and RMC are still working out the final kinks in the designs, contracts, etc. and it may be due to RMC's troubled year with Lightning Rod and the recalls. It probably threw Cedar Fair off and they had to compromise with their capital announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May its splinters cushion Satan's balls in Hell for all eternity. Were both 100% accurate!!! I was at the park just over a week ago and the second row from the back was perfectly tolerable. I didn't get to try front row and I'll explain why in my trip report if anyone ever cares to look at it but car whichevercarthebackcaris row 1 was fine.

Masquerade Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 its not 5 miles but that beautiful view on the causeway makes it seem like it. Okay I exaggerated a little bit, but that road feels long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a rough ride, not being slowly dragged around by a medieval torture device. I sat in the third car btw. It was like 2:00 in the afternoon.

Cedar Fair seems to like package deals and lots of the cedar fair parks are in need of new wooden coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cedarpointguru Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 i used to think it would be GCI over RMC, but there are two reasons against it now. One, GCI already has 4 projects for next year. Two, there haven't been any RMC related announcements for next year, which is odd considering they had 4 projects last year and their top designer (forgot how to spell is sir name) said they had 4 more projects for next year during some interview. I don't have any links to show but if anyone has it please post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanTPM Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 their top designer (forgot how to spell is sir name) said they had 4 more projects for next year during some interview. Does anyone actually know what interview this is? because quite a few people have mentioned it and i don't actually recall either Alan or Fred giving any interviews regarding next year, never mind ones were he apparently says they have four projects next year.

coasterbill Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 They also manufacture track for the S&S free spins and it appears that there may be a metric f**k ton of those on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Maybe Cedar Point is just trolling us with that RMC marker and Cedar Point gets a new GCI in 2018. I'm just not convinced Cedar Fair is working with RMC yet. That KD announcemet kind of made it clear to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cj1990 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 ^^ The post RMC made about getting their bid with Cedar Fair wasn't enough? Lol They were even at CP in their picture they took for their post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImNotOneOfYou Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Have there been any years in the modern era where Cedar Point got absolutely nothing? If there was, I can't remember because there was little noteworthy complaining. I'm still in shock from the KD thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still surprised to this day that Wildcat wasn't replace with a wild mouse type ride Dorney could have used a Wildcat I liked that ride The original Wildcat (the one Cedar Point built for their 100th anniversary) opened in Maryland last year. I didn't get to ride the wildcat they had before it, but I went to the park last year for the sole purpose of riding the wildcat. It was worth it and better than any trip you could have at Lakemont Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
