Mossed Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Texas it is. That's all I've been waiting for, was a confirmation one way or the other. Now I can make next years plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak11 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Wow..... I'm sad and shocked. 2018!!!! I'm hoping this is the most epic RMC with extensive themeing, tunnels, etc. Closing a coaster before 2016 operating season and it's for 2018. Very surprised. I was a 2017 Meaner Streak this entire time. CP is killing me with anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 It's known that Tony watches the forum and out of the blue 2018 is mentioned as a gag. Which is only brought up when enthusiasts debate Mean Streak. This is just another tease, nothing confirmed here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to get over it and realize that this thing won't open for 17 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonnyRCT3 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) It'll be August before the "its opening in 2017!" people fully admit that won't happen. sad and shocked LMAO Twisted Colossus. December 21, 2014. Two years ago today. Pre-lift, lift, most of the first drop and the first airitme hill are the only segments complete. Mean Streak is already half-way up the lift hill and it's 4-weeks behind TC's construction timeline. Also note that both Goliath & TC were still having track installed just a month prior to opening to the public. Everythig concrete points to a 2017 opening. Not syaing this is absolute but there is, so far, more concrete evidence to support a 2017 opening than a 2018 one.

Still waiting on those recipts. Even if I managed to have a full copy of the contract with the agreed upon terms and conditions and theorized date of opening, I wouldn't post it just because I get to see people come up with the craziest stuff to justify this belief.

BigBad Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 With a 2018 Capital Plan by RMC, I'm thinking that New Mean Streak will open 2017 and then another RMC, obviously a topper track woodie over 200 feet, will open in 2017!!

December 21, 2014. Two years ago today. Twisted Colossus was also formally announced in late August of 2014, why would Cedar Point build a new major coaster to open in 2017 and not announce it or start marketing it until like 4 or 5 months prior to it's opening.

There's no room for this type of rational thinking here. The same scenario happened with Top Thrill Dragster. Track installation was complete weeks before a single peep from CP. They let the speculation build untill making a formal announcement in January of 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
