braztaz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Perhaps Six Flag's new surge of European coasters may inspire Cedar Point/Cedar Fair to get into the planning stages for some new additions. I personally think a ZacSpin would be perfect because it doesn't take up too much space, thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfan93 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ^ I'd like one to but the thing is the capacity on it seems low. I don't know my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tunaboy407 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I think a zac spin coaster would fit perfectly in demon drops former location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Mad_Hatter Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'd really either like to see a Gravity Group woodie in Demon Drop's former location, stretching toward the beach behind Disaster Transport, or an Intamin Ball Coaster (http://www.intaminworldwide.com/iag/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=32) I hope CP goes for an Intamin Ball Coaster rather than a ZacSpin as I find it more unique and interesting layout wise (forward/backward launches) and I don't want Cedar Point to end up copying Magic Mountain like Six Flags copied TTD. Something unique will draw me to the park, and an Intamin Ball Coaster would be the first of its kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfan93 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ^ I would love if they revamped the front of the park with new additions. They really need it, besides MaxAir, Raptor, and WT they don't got alot. Hopefully Windseeker starts an expansion up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G$ Kurt Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 A re-do of the entrance into something that doesn't look like a strip-club at night would be nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been aware of the Intamin Ball concept for some time, but I hadn't really looked into it enough to fully grasp the concept...and wow. Now that I've seen that video, I am pumped for some park to pick up one of these rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jds03 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Screw Zacspins, What about the 4-D S&S/Arrow coaster people have been claiming is coming to the point for the last decade? Sigh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braztaz Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ^Me neither An Intamin Ball Coaster near Demon Drop's former area would be a great addition, I think...but like people have said, capacity would be a big issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 ^I wouldn't rule out a Zacspin going in the former Demon Drop site just yet. There have definitely been grumblings about that since DD was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Der Dongt Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Perhaps Six Flag's new surge of European coasters ... ... Cedar Point has been building Intamins since 2000 - so a European coaster wouldn't exactly be a new thing for them, with 5 Intamins (counting STR) in the past 10 years. B&M is European as well so building a "European coaster" isn't something new for any major park. They could place two Ball Coasters or Zac Spins right next to each other. Side by side => racing Head to head => dueling This would not just solve the capacity problem but also be a "first of it's kind" in the world and furthermore win the most coasters at one park record back.

traincrossin Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yea, but if Cedar Point just put in Zacpsins next year people would still complain because they would be "copying" Magic Mountain and they need something new and unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBru Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 An Intamin Ball Coaster near Demon Drop's former area would be a great addition, I think...but like people have said, capacity would be a big issue... Actually, in the concept model on Intamin's page (link below), that particular Ball Coaster design can run up to 6 cars at a time, and has a capacity of 960pph. Isn't that greater than, or at least equal to, the capacity of the ZacSpin coaster going into SFMM next year? http://www.intaminworldwide.com/iag/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=47&Itemid=32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airtime&Gravity Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Yea, but if Cedar Point just put in Zacpsins next year people would still complain because they would be "copying" Magic Mountain and they need something new and unique. No they wouldn't since it's Cedar Point. I've never heard anyone say Cedar Point/Cedar Fair copies, but if Six Flags adds a modified version of something at a Cedar Fair park, Six Flags is copying. It really makes no sense, and even if it were 100% true, who cares(besides the fanboys)? I doubt Cedar Fair would add a zacspin though, and if they were going to go with a 4D coaster, I think Cedar Point would go for S&S for capacity and size reasons. While you could technically build a 200ft tall zacspin, all you can do is build a ride like Insane/Green Lantern. With S&S's 4D coaster, you have much more options as far as a layout goes. If Magic Mountain can find a way to run this with a respectable capacity then maybe it has a chance of being built at Cedar Point in the future, but I would still have some doubts.

chadster Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 hmmm, i wonder who would have a coaster in stock and ready to ship, Zamperla, Gerstlauer, Chance/Morgan, oh, I know, Prince Desmond has one, and the best part is, using your own truck, you can save on shipping!

saginawhxc Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 Was anybody at the Point yesterday? I've seen crazy crowds but I think that is the worst I have seen. MF's queue was 100% full and stretched outside of the queue all the way past Red Garter Saloon. I heard rumors of it being a four hour wait but I have to believe that is horribly stretched. I think 3 hours is very possible though. Top Thrill's came out of the queue and all the way back past the exit of the ride. I head Mavericks line was absolutely insane too. At one point I waited twenty minutes just to get into the Fright Zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemical_echo Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 My friend was at the park yesterday and kept sending me texts. Said Millennium Force was a 4 hour wait and Dragster was 2-3 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 A Zacspin at CP would be a nice addition despite the capacity and would easily fit in the spot left by Demon Drop. Who cares if Magic Mountain gets one first as the vast majority of the GP could care less. It would be something unique that you can't find anywhere else in these parts. As much as an S&S version would be sweet I don't see it happening and it will be interesting to see what becomes of the B&M prototype. You know CF loves their Intamins. BTW, capacity didn't stop them from adding Wicked Twister. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point I waited twenty minutes just to get into the Fright Zone. We were there Friday night and it was crowded enough for me, so I am soooo glad we didn't stay for Saturday! I would say the waits Friday night were comparable to when I was there on Labor Day weekend. One hour for MF, 1.5 hours for Maverick and a half hour for Skyhawk. The good thing was that the crowds started to drain off around 10:30 and we were able to get on TTD with about a 20 minute wait, Magnum (15 minutes), Max Air (walk-on), Power Tower (both sides walk-on) & Wicked Twister (walk-on).

Yamez Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 This will be the first year I haven't been to CP at least once. I really hate the economy. In fact, the only park I've been to this year is SFA - which is depressing now that I think about it. For those of you that have made it out for Halloweekends, is the fog from Corn Stalkers still rolling out into Maverick's course? I always thought that was awesome.

Philrad71 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 ^ Yes, there was quite a bit of fog in that area as well as across the walk near SNF and Skyhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
