Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

^From my understanding the entrance and exit will be on the same side. There will be a "loose article" bin on the opposite side. . I hope I am right, but can someone correct me if I'm wrong.

[Ccron10]

If so then that could lengthen dispatch times, but what's the reason for this then?

[cprocks22]

^^I could be wrong but i thought you entered on one side (left if on the train) and leave on the opposite side (right side if on the train). At least i think that's what is in the animation.

^Got this from the blog. Don't know if this means anything.Or does this just mean that there is only one station?

I have a question for you. Since Maverick will load and unload on the same platform, will the ride have bins to leave your belongings in like the other rides, or will the park require all loose articles be left in lockers? Thanks!

 

From Tony & Tyler:

There will be storage bins on the loading platform for your loose articles.

 

EDIT: Look at the pic real close, Is it a Train???

Is it a Train??????

[Milkchan]

Right, same platform, they mean that its not going to be like Millennium or Dragster where you load/unload on different platforms. The person just wanted to know if you would have to rent a locker or not when you ride. At least that's what i got from that.

[deano]

^great news, stupid lockers.

[Eric_Smith]

^ What do you mean??

Coming over that part of the track you would be seeing the front of the train, and that definitely doesn't look like it. I think it's a cherry picker of some sort.

Wes, have you still got your video of it testing?

[ECZenith]

Eric Smith... I was talking about how in one of the reallllly short construction videos, one of the workers moves his camera to one of the inversions and says: "There's a cool lil' swirl here..."

[Milkchan]

Is it just me or does it seems Cedar point is behind on the Maverick?

Hope landscaping would be put down before the ride opens.
