Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Looking good!

[PKI Jizzman]

Cedar Point already disabled Garekeeper's vest restraint locks and Banshee's didn't even lock in the first place. I would say Valravn's vest restraints will most likely not to lock even though the holding brake will definitely give a weird sensation that way.

 

That's disappointing because Banshee's are pretty tight IMO. After 5 rides, it really starts to wear on my collar bone. After Bansheebash/ERT sessions, it's pretty uncomfortable. But I highly doubt I'll ever be getting more than 5 Valravn rides in a day so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Never had problems with collar bone pains, just when I get stapled by a ride op on Banshee (only about 2-3 times out of 80 rides), I'm fine throughout the ride but when I hit the brake-run it is utter hell on my pelvis. I'm really skinny and slender so it's right on the bone and to add to that one of the times I was stapled in someone threw up on the station platform so I had to sit on the brake-run for over 10 minutes while they cleaned it.

Speaking of GK... it's testing so if you want to check the webcams...

Lots of activity today. Corkscrew is testing, Dragster train being assembled and Gatekeeper testing on the webcams.

 

Nice to see the park coming back to life.

Well this is exciting.

Also, looks like they are starting to test with the holding brake turned on!!

^ Woah that's bright!

 

A bit toooooo much power, perhaps?

No. They must summon the aliens the boat.

[Nrthwnd]

^ Ah. I see. I think.

 

BTW, great site name. Made me laugh.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Wow, that station looks really good! It's distinct yet fits in with other stations in the park. Great design!

[DorneyKid14]

I'm wondering how much money I'll need for merchandise when I go.

[RollerManic]

I like the siding. It's tacky in a good way. I just hope I don't outgrow it, haha.

[bluestreak]

Love the looks of the station... can't wait to see it on opening day.

What... what is that supposed to be? It looks like the tiles on the walls of an indoor swimming pool building.

[coasterbill]

Wow that's ugly... maybe it looks better in person though. I have faith in Cedar Point.

[djcoastermark]

It does look a little odd. Might be the angle or the closeness? It might look better a bit farther away.

oops, double post

I think it looks awesome. The colors are super sharp and I love the way it has a sort of pixelated fade.

I like it also.

[Superbatboy]

Definitely an interesting choice for the station walls. I kinda like the look the station had in the renderings, looked a lot cleaner. I guess I won't judge until it's complete.

[DoinItForTheFame]

My thing with the outside of the station is... I just don't "get" it. How does it tie in with the castle theme they are supposedly going with on everything else for this coaster. . . ?
