Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[robbalvey]

^ Oh, it could totally have two car trains. Just like SheiKra has 3-row Dive Machine shuttles. It would seem to me that in order to maneuver through some of those elements it would NEED to be shorter trains like on a Eurofighter or a Dive Machine, but I could totally see a 2-car train, but probably not much more than that.

Has anyone looked at those pictures of the vehicles under the tarp? I can't think of anything else they would be other than some sort of Aqua Trax-like vehicle.

Yes, I posted that comparison on page 231...

What is this a flock of seaguls (yes the euro joke) attack maverick day? Either these birds are wanting to be test riders or theres some evil alien attack..maybe even a problem with the earths magnetic field..

 

Can anyone say LSM/LIM magnetic attraction? Lol when ever a train launches your gonna see a flock of birds fly out of the tunnel!

[jamesdillaman]

yeah i know.. but it was kinda harsh..

 

is this nazi germany?

 

Enjoy your very own custom ban! We'll let you back in once Cedar Point officially announces the new coaster.

 

Am I the only one who wants the official announcement to be pushed back a little more...

Oh, I remember... and I haven't had one shred of doubt since I have took charge as leader of those who proclaim that this coaster reveal it's Aquatrax identity to us!

 

P.S., I also bet upawrds of ten septillion dollars (both to people I know and people on this and other boards) that this was an aquatrax from day one of the track arriving.

 

I prefer all large denomination bills please. Thanks.

to me on the side of the cars, if they are cars are too high and it looks like there are no gaps either to enter the cars as in the rcdb.com picture. but i know though is a tarp and could be tied very tightly. It would see more as being wood maybe for the Q-house. if it isn't built already.

[coasterdude5]

Yeah, I'm still not convinced this thing's an Aquatrax, it just doesn't seem right... But I could be wrong!

[CP_RULES]

Yeah, I'm still not convinced this thing's an Aquatrax

 

Im not either, and never will be, because its not.

[DarkStitch626]

If those are the cars something makes me wonder if they are in thie huge containment no damage roll cage thing for transport. AA's cars came in the big crates though. Like how Intamin sent TTD's trains.

Props for not betting anything insane in that last post, either.

 

All right, I guess I'll say Aquatrax by now, but, like he said... I could be wrong.

I agree, I mean, even if it was an Aquatrax train, you would probably see slack in the tarps between the headrests. I think they're boxes or theming pieces or something like that.

 

Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait for more pictures...

[coasterfreak101]

It's a B&M Flyer! That rumorstarted a year ago and I still believe it...

 

But really, on topic. I guess it could be an AquaTrax, but I would think that it would have at least a *little* bit more water interaction, ya know?

[robbalvey]

What i think is funny is that it really is NOT an Aqua Trax....or is it?

[coasterdude5]

^You probably just gave 10 people a heart attack.

[TheArchfiend]

Robb is right, it actually ISN'T going to be an Aquatrax.

 

I don't believe it is an Aquatrax either and I really never have to tell you all the truth. It was just a guess with no known knowledge to support it and no sources giving me information to think it was. This is not going to be... an Aquatrax.

 

HOWEVER I do believe it is without a shadow of a doubt, from what I've been told by my sources and the knowledge known to me, that this is going to be... an Aquatrax.

[DATman]

I actually totally agree with everything in this paragraph! While they have an awesome assortment of coasters, nothing there is "the best of it's kind". Millenium Force is pretty good but it's not like it hasn't been done elsewhere better (Thunder Dolphin, the SROS's, Goliath, GeForce).

 

...you gotta be kiding me

 

When every one of these coasters came out it WAS the biggest and the best. There not gonna tear down a new coaster everytime something bigger comes out. People are so unappreciative of the incredible rides at this park it blows my mind

 

 

The keyword here is was. If they tried to make coasters that can't easily be topped (see TTD...), then more of their coasters would still be the best. How long has Exped. Geforce been open? Same with S:RoS. TTD was topped in less than 4 years. I'm not unaprreciative of their ride selection, it's just that I've been on better. They have good rides, really, they do. Other parks just have amazing ones and less concrete...

[jedi1]

i think that an aquatrax might be the ride coming in 2008 or 2009 at cp. it would replace wwl. i heard they were thinking of putting in a water ride, before they put up maxair.

[jamesdillaman]

At least the wingwalker crew has left the building it seems... A lot quieter on here without them... Oh yeah, and don't forget everyone who was SURE this was going to be a Rita clone.

So basically, what you're saying is that this is definitely an AquaTrax....or not, right?
