coasterbill Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Edit: here's another picture from COASTER-net.com. I wouldn't be shocked if the MCBR stays to allow for 3 train operation. There are of course other ways to accomplish 3 train operation but it's sort of looking like keeping the midcourse is likely from this image. I don't care at all but I'm sure this will be met with relentless bitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xstech25 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 At this point I would say 99.9% chance this ride is scheduled to open for 2017...the only possibility I could see for 2016 is if there is some big marketing ploy to open it for Halloweekends. Remember Maverick was like entirely built before the park even closed in 2006 (and sadly still didn't open on time for 2007 ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakelemay23 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Robbie Von Roll of the Von Roll family was nice enough to make me a replica of green cabin #16 in honor of Skyride Crew 2k16. This will look good on my desk, will probably find some CP stickers to slap on there for realism. And since we are doing memes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually really awesome. He sells those things for quite a bit so that's really nice of him. Cool stuff! Instead of a tram though it was more like a ski lift bench design. ... sounds like a Hopkins or something, we don't acknowledge those types of imposter Sky Rides. yelling at all the people who just boarded, that the ride was going to break and fall. It was probably about to. Non-Von Roll sky rides are pretty shady... I wouldn't trust them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including shipping and fees the total is around $55. So, it's a little expensive but considering its hand-made and I have worked Skyride and like Von Roll a lot I consider it to be well worth it.

RollingCoasting Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Every time I open this thread the last post was either about a Sky Ride or a boat. Cedar Point needs to announce this thing already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Actually, I'm wondering if anybody from CP (hello Tony?) is actually reading through all this, and then deciiding to put off the announcement for a few more....

DoinItForTheFame Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 So, I was looking through this trip report from Winter Chill Out in (Feb?) 2015, and this really stuck out to me: . . . They were teasing us with a shot of a rocky mountain coaster. . . Has this RMC Mean Streak stuff really been going on this long?? I can't believe that it's finally happening. . .

prozach626 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I would be in favor of a construction delay on Mean Streak in order to bring back Snoopy Excursions... Just sayin. Especially if the boat comes back with a fully stocked bar. Then, push Mean Streak back even further for the addition of a classic log flume. After that, we may proceed to finishing Mean Streak 2.0. I apologize if my fantasies intruded on the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 As long as it's a traditional log flume...not another shoot the rapids, I would have zero problems with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakelemay23 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 (edited) I love you so much, Tony. I hope in the future when the park is getting ready to open for the season he can do a periscope or vlog on how they reassemble the cabins and put them back on the transfer track. That would be really cool. Edited December 5, 2016 by blakelemay23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
