Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[RaceBoarder]

I'm old school and like incandescent lights... None of the new LED crap!

[coasterfreak101]

Wow this thread sucks.

[CP Maverick]

Reports of more lift work being completed. Fast approaching the original height. Not much else visible without venturing to the park.

[I love pie]

My uncle's neighbor told me that Magnum's back cars are going to be fitted with cargo shorts.

The dippin dots guy told me that cargo shorts are going to be used to prevent magnum from sinking any further.

But seriously, thanks for the laughs. This thread is a shitposting riot and I love it.

[ImNotOneOfYou]

But seriously, thanks for the laughs. This thread is experiencing a bad offseason and I love it.

[Henry M]

I am trying to think of something to get this thread on track. I really am...

[I love pie]

^^Sorry man but it's impossible at this point.

[Henry M]

I know how to get enthusiasts ranting again!

So...What does everyone feel about that rattle on Gate Keeper and Valravn.

[DoubleDown]

What are you supposed to do? Some B&M's have a rattle.

 

It doesn't take away from the mediocre ride experiences though, that's for sure.

I always figured if they had more ball & socket joints at the track/structure connection, they would be much smoother. Hinges of any kind would be nice. Look how silky smooth most Schwarzkopfs are. And Giavanola. Even super-sturdy Intamin rides (Millennium Force and Maverick come to mind) have a distinctive *grind* to them.

Bhahahaha!!! Thank you for that.

[ABW]

^I remember Maverick being silky smooth so I don't know what you're talking about. I'll give it to you the Millennium Force can rattle in some places, but it's still incredible and smooth. Interesting observations.

[ytterbiumanalyst]

No nig deal, we can just Von Roll with it.

 

Woah. That was a close one.

That is NOT what I meant to write! Thanks for pointing that out. Corrected.

Is you uncle's neighbor related to the Dipping Dots guy? Because we all know Dipping Dots is where the most accurate info is

[JonnyRCT3]

If we were really going to do that, it would have to be SFGAm vs CP. I mean, does Magic Mountain have any non-coaster rides left? CP wins operations, and rides are debatable. We all know that, right?

 

Lex Luthor & Jet stream are the only ones that come to mind. Everything else is your run of the mill carnival flat. I've heard Nagashima Spa Land is like the CP of Japan, so maybe that's another better comparison than SFMM.

Hey, don't knock em. Those carnival flats can be some damn good rides!

 

EDIT -- Ew, except Larson Loops and fireball rides.

Hey, don't knock em. Those carnival flats can be some damn good coasters!

Fixed. Looking at you, Superloops.

Larsons give crazy hang time. I grayed out on the SFNE Fireball

[blakelemay23]

Webcam is currently turned back towards Mean Streak, got some crane action going on.

 

That crane is getting it done! Two pieces of track gone within a 5 minute period.

[njcoasterguy34]

Someone's having fun pointing the third web-cam at a giant floating crane as it sails past.

[Cj1990]

Well it's moved over to MF now but they did zoom in close up and I managed to get a couple screen shots. I'm only sharing what was shown on Cedar Point's public webcam so this shouldn't be an issue. I just grabbed a screen shot each time the cam went to this view.

Mean Streak lift hill close up

Similar to the first but cam went over twice and screen shot both times

Yup! Kept zooming in and out of the big boat and back towards the lift.
