CP Maverick Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 The Soak City lot has been renovated, and the Preferred Parking/Handicap Parking was added where Ripcord formerly sat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djackson Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Does anyone know how long the drive from Canton to CP is. Google usually over or underestimates the times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bgtlover Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Does anyone know how long the drive from Canton to CP is. Google usually over or underestimates the times. 107 miles divided by the speed you plan on travelling. Of course then there is traffic... It's pretty much anywhere from 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on the many variables that may come up along the way and which route you take.

Philrad71 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 The whole area of Breakers and CP Shores looks so much better! And to add in a new bar along with the awesomely-named Muffleheads, I will likely be spending more time at the water park in the summer. The mango/blood orange shandy certainly sounds intriguing.

Nrthwnd Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 ^ Thanks for the heads up on this deal! I just purchased the tix we need for our Coastermania! weekend at CP. Excellent deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Cedar Point's 2017 Map has been released in the Guest Assistance Guide (last 2 pages). It has the new Mean Streak location depicted as a construction site which is kind of funny for a park map. They're all about fueling this hype train and who could blame them?

Steely Dan Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 (edited) The map looks naked without that giant mass of timber sitting atop the point like a beautiful mane. That's one of my favorite aspects of the RMC conversion. Not only will we be getting a VASTLY improved roller coaster at cedar point that will likely rearrange many people's top 10 list, but a good deal of mean streak's gorgeous and supersized wooden structure is going to be saved, and perhaps even enhanced. It's always been one of the best-looking coasters on the planet in my opinion; I'm very glad it's not going away entirely.

thedlr Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 What, that's not a giant new sandbox? Reminds me of this place in Vegas called "Dig This" where you can play with an excavator or a bulldozer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickenbowl Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 FYI, track is placed for Mean Streak's zero-g. It is very large and looks similar to Iron Rattler's inversion: The track completes the inversion on the upward incline and is nearly level at the vertical peak of the element. IRat's roll is fantastic (especially in the front when taken at greater speed), so we're looking at something really great here! Also, Mean Streak ledgers following the inversion look to indicate the track will dive to the right and pass under the lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I saw the new image as well, and it looks awesome! an upwardly inclined zero g type inversion that levels out right at the apex of an airtime hill only to then dive down under and through the lift structure followed by an aggressively banked turn to the the right off to parts yet unknown (but likely also awesome). I don't think we've ever seen anything quite like this element before. This thing just keeps looking better and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 Does anyone know how long the drive from Canton to CP is. Google usually over or underestimates the times. Did this drive last summer. Depending on if you get on the turnpike or not (I recommend the turnpike). Usually at max 2 hours. I think our trip took about an hour and a half. If you don't take the turnpike its easily two and a half hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestreak Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hypothetically speaking, if it were to open this year it would definitely be during the summer when they have the staff available. They are hard pressed to find ops during Halloweekends to begin with. But it's opening in 2018 so don't worry about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Superb. Ever since the first RMC makeover we've all wanted it for Mean Streak. Can't wait for possibly the worst coaster in the park to become another RMC hit! This place is gunna have the greatest coaster lineup without question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha well...maybe this is me being weird but you know what to expect with Corkscrew. Mean Streak, its such an impressive, beautiful structure, this giant beast and it's such a dreadful ride. Ya know? I don't normally bother with corkscrew or the mine train but MS I ride every time, and am always sad lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redfoot12 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Mean Streak and Corkscrew tag teamed my back the day I went. If my back had been in better shape I may have ridden Mean Streak again. Corkscrew, on the other hand, gave me PTSD throughout the rest of my CP stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
