Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[Jccoasterfan]

I honestly think that all of the markers on the supports and the stakes in the ground are all just a red herring. I mean, Cedar Point just added Valravn this year, don't you think they will focus more outside of Ohio next year (other than Kings Island's 2017 project)? I wouldn't be surprised if all those stakes around Mean Streak are gone by the end of the season. I guess its more of Tony Clark messing with us, haha.

 

The most I think will happen to Mean Streak sometime in the future is a major GCI retrack, considering their relationship with Cedar Fair recently. However, I still wouldn't completely knock an RMC transformation off the table. Anything is possible.

Does RMC have anything for 2017? I haven't heard any rumors so far.

A 2015 interview with Alan Schilke said they have four (?) projects in '17.

[Nwstone]

Wow that's a lot

[thepoint4life23]

I don't think Tony would paint that many dots. Something will happen with it but when I don't see it next year. Drop slide is coming to the water park. Unless all the wood that kings island has been talking about is on the way to the point. Joking. as for the rocks that's something Tony would do.

As for phones me and my wife agree to not take phones, Cedar point is are place to get away. I may take it in for an hour to take pictures or play the new game but most of the time its in the car.

Take it for what's it's worth, but one project I heard is for Kennywood. Another was CP, but for 2018 opening. Not sure how reliable the info is though.

If Kennywood built anything RMC I would drop out of school and relocate to West Mifflin.

I second this.

Just checked out the webcams and OMG!! Someone alert the press. Windseeker is actually running!!

[bluestreak]

^ It's actually been running pretty consistently this year.

I'm hoping it stays that way!! I'm hoping to get a chance to ride it this weekend. I've missed out on it during all of my previous visits to the park.

Just saw a picture from today showing off a pattern of rocks spelling out "MEAN STREAK 1991".

 

Looks like it truly is on its last leg.

Look back two pages.

That's quite the leap to make based on a few rocks.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

Obviously they're 25th anniversary rocks. Because we all know how Cedar Point does special things for anniversaries.

[prozach626]

This is confirmation that RMC'd Mean Streak will be renamed Stone Streak. I also counted exactly 2017 rocks in the entire photo.

[Nrthwnd]

Or that it'll be...stoned to death?

 

 

Just a guess.

 

Or that it'll be stoned....in 2017?

 

(Where did that come from?)

What interview was this? I know they had 4 projects this year but i don't remember Alan ever saying anything about 2017 anywhere.

[PKI Jizzman]

Trying to pick between Aug 20-24 for Aug 27-31. Gotta believe the later in August the better, right? Anyone go during similar dates last year? Any locals know of events going on at CP that should be noted? Looks like they're offering a ticket special "Last Blast of Summer", so that should be a good indication that it should be slow.

[christianscoasters]

^Both of those times will be good to visit. You'll still get a random busy day every now and then but crowds for the most part are pretty manageable at that time. And you're here for several days anyway so you'll have no problem riding anything.

[thepoint4life23]

Most Ohio school will start before the end of August so i would say the last weekend in August would be a solid weekend to go.

[coasterbill]

Random tip but ride Gemeni on the weekend. They probably won't have the staffing to race it on those weekdays.

I went in early May and they were only running one side. I passed. No real desire to ride it that way. Without racing, it's quite forgettable.

[bluestreak]

Finally going to ride Iron Dragon VR later today! Can't wait!

 

*Edit* It was awesome! Haven't ridden any of the Six Flags ones so I have nothing to compare it with, but it was certainly a ton of fun!

At the park right now. Not very crowded. Everything is 30 minutes or less with the exception of Valravn which is 45 and Maverick which is over an hour.
