BigDipper 80 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Actually, I don't think that Cedar Point has really been fanning the flames at all this year. If there was even a little ember of a rumor this thread would have instantly exploded with 342 new pages of pointless speculation and incomprehensible babbling about an aquatrax. Wait, this thread does that no matter what anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugart Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 So the present is cookies??? WTF?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 It was exactly what the box said it was...a present for Snoopy. He turns (turned?) 60 this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody339 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Wait, wait, wait...the present was actually cookies? What is going on here?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kidd Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I don't know what was in the box but I think a lot of people assumed that this was going to be the new ride announcement when it never was. Why would a new thrill ride be labeled as a present to Snoopy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterdude2011 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yes... the announcement was cookies, there was a little parade that came up towards the present with peanuts characters and there was a podium set up for the VP of Cedar Point to speak, they spoke opened the box and gave out cookies... I couldn't believe it, well anyways the parks was fun today, ride ops were friendly, lines were ok, and did the scavenger hunt they had set up at the park... which was a little difficult but fun, still can't get over the present was cookies however.

coastermoosh Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Not to mention the new ride for 2011 is one of the worst-kept secrets ever. Why does anyone need a formal announcement when the answer is all over the 'net? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 ^ Because the answer is all over the net? / "GUYS! It's GOT to be another Laser Snake Horse on Fire clone! I read it on the Internet!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I didn't expect CP to deliver the official 2011 announcement today, but even if I did I wouldn't be upset? Everyone loves cookies! Anyway, Happy 60th to my favorite Beagle on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intimidator305 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I should be disappointed that they didn't make the announcement, but I love Cedar Point for getting a lot of peoples hope up, and then just stuffing the box full of cookies...

thrillrider Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Talk about antisipointment for a lot of people. I couldn't help but laugh at this.

I wonder when they will make the announcement now? If memory serves me correctly, I believe Dick Kinzel said "mid-August", so it will probably be made within the next 2 weeks.

Mastersax68 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Happy Birthday Snoopy! How long will it be until the actual announcement, though? I might not get a chance to go next year, but I'd still really like to know. I went twice this year, in the past 2 weeks. Didn't get the chance to ride STR, but I rode just about everything else.

Cavs Fan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Who cares about Miley Cyrus??? LeBron took the family out to Cedar Point yesterday. I wonder what he got in the 3-point game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Who cares about Miley Cyrus??? LeBron took the family out to Cedar Point yesterday. I wonder what he got in the 3-point game? Nothing, he just passed it to Wade. Seriously though....I'm shocked he'd go out in public anywhere near Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavs Fan Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 ^LOL. People hate on people if you even wear something promoting LeBron around these parts. Although I am a huge fan of Cleveland Sports, leave the guy alone. He is just following his dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slither37 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I wonder how many are going to complain when they already know what it is, and will do so when it's made official... People will whine and complain. Guaranteed. Cedar Point could build a LIM launched, 500 foot inverted coaster with 5 minutes of airtime and 15 inversions and complaints would still be heard.

CoasterFanatic Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I did a quick scan and did see any mention of this (and forgive me if I just missed it), but wouldn't it make the most sense to re-purpose the Space Spiral into a "Starflyer" if that is the ride they intend to add. I mean ... it is about 300 ft tall and nobody ever rides the thing. // Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterlover420 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 ^Actually, you'd be surprised how many people ride rides you would deem unpopular. Space Spiral almost always has a line, expecially on crowded days. (I say this having worked the ride) Also, I think it's funny because Lebron was not even able to ride a lot of the rides because of Intamin's 6'6" height restriction. The ride ops had to keep kicking him off the rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aesthyrian Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 To tall to ride, ahah never thought of that but it makes sense for inverted coasters I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
