Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[RaceBoarder]

Somebody shared this video on Facebook and I swear I nearly died laughing about seven seconds in

 

You laugh now but let's see who's laughing when you come face to face with the Valravn Birdseye.

What, you didn't hear about CP's new sponsor

I wonder how much longer into the year they will be painting Raptor and TTD until it gets "too cold" for them? I would assume they could continue throughout at least the rest of November, weather permitting...

 

But who knows, the top of TTD is probably what, 20 degrees colder than down below?

[ImNotOneOfYou]

what, 20 degrees colder than down below?

 

Or about 1.4.

ala Tony

Look at that turn! What a nice turn!

[TB305]

I can feel the buttery smoothness in that picture. Gimme. Now.

[Vonni]

So the station, base of the lift, and brake run will be where the Turnpike Cars were located, and the rest of the lift and course will be where the Good Time Theater was?

Agreed 100%... Such snappy and awesome transitions in that cobra roll. They're more of "half corkscrews" than "turns" though.

I think he was talking about corkscrew

Sounds like CP is getting wifi next year! Awesome!

Valravn's color is really growing on me. I like the coppery-brown color in the shade.

Agreed. I can't wait to see how well it looks where there is more of it!!

I love how it's coming together and the colors are growing on me! Tony's latest tweet pic with the turn out of the station is great. Thanks to everyone who is posting pics of the construction and especially the different footers before they're filled in. I never really thought about the footers under the ground being absolutely massive! It's neat to see the different shapes and then they pile ground back on top to show a tiny percentage of the footer. What has always surprised me is the bolts for the footers and track. It's funny to see huge footers with a couple dozen "small" looking (comparatively) bolts holding everything together. Enjoying the constant updates, thanks Tony and everyone else!

The ride is looking very nice. I enjoy how the point has the 24 hour cameras! They know how to keep the fanboys satisfied. I think I'll be making a trip back!

[B&MIntaminGCI]

I can't wait for the lift and the drop to take shape. It's going to look stunning, especially on a sunny day with the sunlight glistening off of the golden brown track and royal blue supports.

What.... it took them THIS long?

My thoughts exactly.

Even Dorney has WiFi. I mean its crap WiFi but they still have it.

[Comeagain?]

Park-wide wifi of any quality is hard and expensive to do right. CP was probably waiting until they had the infrastructure to do it well.

I like the color scheme on it's own but I don't think CP needs any more blue.

[ImNotOneOfYou]

What will the capacity of the wifi be? Will the color scheme be more orange? When will they start construction? Does Cedar Point need wifi? I bet CP stole the wifi from a small park like Michigan's Adventure.

No... Just... No.

It was actually stolen from Canadas Wonderland and Kings Dominion

[CoasterMateo]

Any Idea when the lift hill construction will start?
