prozach626 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I suppose this is a tad late, but kind of interesting at the least. It appears as though Cedar Point is trying to simply buy up a lot of land in that general area for future use, and that the recent purchases weren't really much to get excited over... Maybe they're trying to make the Sandusky area around the park a little less of a shit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert425 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hmmmm isn't that near the entrance to where the old "Shoot the Rapids" was? when we were there last year for Coastermania!, the guy in the museum in Frontier Town did heavily imply that SOMETHING was going to go there to make use of the empty space. maybe a Rodeo flat or something of that type?

Cavs Fan Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I don't know if I actually feel the way I do about what I'm about to say, but I get really excited about the improvements to the park outside of the main event. I'm looking forward to this announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestreak Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 No question lol. That's definitely part of the reason they started it so early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABW Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm calling it now. Cedar Point bought a bunch of Siberian tigers and they're releasing them on the Peninsula later this week to eat all the seagulls. You heard it here first. OMG, yes! Please!

pryonisys Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm calling it now. Cedar Point bought a bunch of Siberian tigers and they're releasing them on the Peninsula later this week to eat all the seagulls. You heard it here first. That is the only reasonable assumption that I can think of. I also see no negative impact this could have on the ecosystem, staff, or surrounding Sandusky area.

SbSteveZ Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 For anyone not on their Snapchat, they announced a contest to win a 2018 calendar tomorrow (Thursday) at 4pm EST. It appears to be all Wild West themed which is pretty cool - this is more than likely what the aforementioned “announcement of an announcement” was about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterInk Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 What is the little spec of land at the top of the photo? I'm pretty sure the one out on the Chaussee isn't actually owned by Cedar Fair / Cedar Point, if that's the one you're referring to. It's a residential property. It may be residential, but the land parcel is listed under the ownership of "CEDAR POINT PARK LLC" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prozach626 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 ^^ LOL As for the land purchases, I hope that CP builds a hotel or two off site which are a little more cost friendly and offer the resort perks. Although I understand that's already available, a few more options would be nice, maybe even to act as cost tiered hotels. As much as I enjoyed staying at Breakers, I've stayed in some pretty damned nice places for $400 a night. I understand you're not paying for luxury, but the rooms felt like Super 8 rooms with decorations catered to CP. Emily loved complaining about the price, except every time I mention going back and staying at the new close Holiday Inn Express, she bitches at me that the CP experience includes staying on the island...

Bert - that photo is right next to Snake River Falls (SRF on the right, Maverick and Thunder Canyon on left), so it's a little bit past where Shoot The Rapids was. And I believe that they installed RipCord in the old STR spot, didn't they? To be honest, I am almost surprised that SRF hasn't been removed.

bert425 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 ^ when we were there in June, quite a bit of the old shoot the rapids trough was visible while riding MF. this news story says Ripcord went on a "portion" of the Shoot the Rapids footprint.. so lots of room still over there http://www.wkyc.com/article/features/cedar-point-relocates-old-ride-gives-it-new-name/384366774?scroll=500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 ^ Yep, still lots of room over there - especially if (or when) they remove Dinosaur's Alive. I wasn't a fan of them putting the SkyCoaster there, but understood the need to relocate due to the Soak City expansion and Challenge Park removal. I think that it would be a great place for a new (and better designed) flume...or an Intamin Mega-Lite to compliment Maverick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prozach626 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 No way, man. Cedar Point is "out out of room" to build anymore major attractions. That's obviously the reason for buying all of that new land... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 ^ When we were on the train ride, that traveled by that spot, I though it was pretty big and could accommodate something major, whether it be some kind of coaster (hello El Loco?), or a flat, maybe a non-swinging one, lol.

rcoaster10 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I did some imagining and came up with a concept of what an entirely new Kiddy Kingdom/Planet Snoopy expansion could look like! I added a B&M family inverted coaster as well as 7 other small flat rides. I retained 2 of the classic spinning car rides and rethemed them, then added a few more new kid/family rides that the park doesn't have yet. I also added a small stage as well as an shaded eating area, making the entire area feel more modern and complete with the existing Planet Snoopy.

John Peck Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 That really looks awesome, but removing the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel... that's a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myself Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 That really looks awesome, but removing the Kiddy Kingdom Carousel... that's a no-no. Put it in the old Frontiertown Carousel building and the problem is solved! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
