dawgs396 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Yeah, I dont think Screamscape would post a piece of faulty concept art. The coaster looks fun, but I dont like how they added in so many twists and turns instead of inversions. Inversions are just more fun than helixes. There could have easily been ten inversions on this coaster if they had decided to build it that way... but then again why would Cedar Point actually want to build a rollercoaster with a lot of inverions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Wasn't a picture just like Screamscape's posted earlier in this forum, then deleted?Am I hallucinating?

TexTitan01 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 This is looking like it will be a great ride for Cedar Point. First ever Intamin past 90* drop is what I think the record would be, but I could be wrong. I cant wait to hit this next year on the '07 trip. -Tex --NOTE-- Since flame #2 for me is now on the board, I completely reprofiled this post so as it doesnt make me look like a complete dumbass.

SFOGdude25 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Have any of you guys noticed that on the Cedar Point site that a sign went across the panorama saying, " THE SECRET'S OUT IN 9 DAYS!"

dawgs396 Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 personally, not impressed. combining a bunch of small elements from certain coasters and putting them all in one doesnt make it a great coaster (i.e. launch, but not a fast launch, steep drop, but not a big drop, inversions, but only three, an airtime hill, but hypers do it better, twists and turns... wohoo....) Sure, it'll be fun, but its too extreme for a family ride, and too simple for a really intense coaster. This is the first coaster they have annouced in a decade that I havent been excited about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shavethewhales Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 meh, I think it'll be good, not what I was execting, but I'll still enjoy it. too bad it'll be another 2-3 years before I can go to CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 If the leaked pictures are a true representation, it looks like the initial drop is a bit more than 107 feet. Just compare the height of the airtime hill and corkscrews with the height of the 1st drop and the drop seems to be 4 times higher than both elements. Then look at actual pictures of the hill and corkscrew and in reality both look around 40-50 feet high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Seriously, we need a new acronym: RTFT = READ THE FUDGING THREAD! I know this thread is really big, but at least try to read the last ten pages at least. There's also the search function. I wonder how many "OMFGZ CP IZ BUILDING COASTER NEXT YEAR!!" threads we're gonna have to lock on Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
