Chris Benvenuto Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hmm. I think we now know the ride's name. My guess is either a water ride, GCI, shooting dark ride, or the good ole standby AQUATRAX!! How big is this island and how much land is cleared? They already said it wouldn't get you wet, so a water ride and Aquatrax is out.... the Aquatrax thing is funny from time to time, still....

cgodsey Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 My guess is either a Premier or an S&S family launched coaster. It adds to their coaster count and gives them an exciting ride for the whole family. The S&S launch is even a green technology that doesn't require alot of power.

Well technically you don't get wet on either aquatrax, the only way to on atlantis adventure is if you stick your arm out and create a splash yourself, I believe.

steel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I still think a spinner is likely. But an S&S family coaster along the lines of Powder Keg would be a delicious addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HCLcoasters Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think this is going to be some new type of Intamin. CP likes new things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgodsey Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 ^Yeah, it could be one of those new Intamin spinners that are supposed to be very fun to ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csikoth Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 When Nik was at Kings Island I took him up on the elevator the night before. Then the day of the walk i took his father up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4rturo Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I can swear I've seen that dog before!!! If I could only remember where..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I also have to agree with an Intamin spinner or a Premier launched like Kennywood's new coaster. Regarding the dog, maybe CP is making their own version of the "Dog Fart Coaster!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidtownCoaster Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 There's another piece of that press packet I saw that I may be reading too far into... The name CP McCoy. Add that with West Virginia (and a touch of Kentucky), a fork in the river (a Y), a burning cabin, bootlegging and moonshine (nicknamed "white lightning")... and you get a ton of elements for the good ol' American feud of the Hatfields and McCoys. Another element of the story- shooting of course. Personally, I think we may have a shooter on its way, but there are a lot of other options. Plus the whole "strikes twice" factor says duelling or racing something to me. Anyway, not sure. Just thought I would point that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Maybe a shooting dark ride where you're either the Hatfields or McCoys and shoot the opposite family? But then again, what would that have to do with Millennium Island, unless they're building two new rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Gaga Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'm thinking it could be like the Reese's Xtreme Cup Challenge at Hersehy Park. Two cars attached, on being the Hatfeilds and one being the McCoy's and they compete as they shoot stuffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Menefee Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 If you like this, go buy (rent, download) Man on Wire for more lying-down-on-thin-wire action. Only this time on the Empire State Building. I think you mean the World Trade Center. But yeah, that's an absolutely fantastic film. Far more intense than just a skyway. I actually have that documentary on my computer right now, and snagged a few screenshots for anyone interested. ANY person who can do this sort of thing for a living gets my respect. Being able to tune this kind of danger out and actually enjoy yourself is a super human feat IMO. -Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GriffonFan09 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 But with that one frame that says "There's firs burnin' all night long." does that mean a water shooter as a possiblity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cprocks22 Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 What about the "lightning strikes twyce" on the top of the page? I wanna hear people's ideas, this thread is endlessly amusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The day Cedar Point builds a dark ride, I'll eat my hat. And then I'll go to Cedar Point, because that would be awesome. But still, no. They friggin' hate that stuff. /Pop quiz: What's the last dark ride Cedar Fair had built? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Disaster Transport? I don't know, was there something else? EDIT: Oh, Cedar FAIR, not Cedar POINT. I don't know then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreditCrazy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 "Strikes Twice" could mean a shuttle coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryemobeaver Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 "Strikes Twice" could mean a shuttle coaster. Cedar Point with a shuttle coaster? No way. It's going to be a woodie, just not sure if it's an Intamin, TGG, GCII, or someone else. But it is going to be wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorkscrewFoley Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 ^Maybe it's a GCI dueling twister? Lighting would strike twice...they can theme both sides as the Hatfields and the McCoys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
