VF15 1 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Maybe this whole transformation is nothing but a huge April Fools prank, and soon they will start the rest of the deconstruction. Link to post Share on other sites
Snoopy 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 The dueling music and showdown statement were from August. The clues are real but don't necessarily mean a dueling coaster. Link to post Share on other sites
WOFanatic 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) I've heard rumors that this is a $30 million project. If that is the case, a dueling coaster could make sense. Â I think a dueling coaster is such a neat idea, especially for Mean Steak. Good guys vs. bad guys would be such a fun idea to play around with.

JT325 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Heya Snoopy... how about both coasters have a lift AND launch! I hope they go all-out this time! Link to post Share on other sites
anonymouscactus 28 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) ... after all this mention of dueling, am I the only one who now sees all of the extra supports left up, especially on the opposite side of the crazy outward-banked hill, which could potentially be used so both trains could "high-five" towards eachother in the middle? (6 second mark, essentially where the camera is would be where more track is)... Â ...either that or all of this new teasing is rotting my brain and making me see things that aren't actually there... Â Probably the later. Â Also 2018 is the 40th anniversary of Gemini! Take THAT all of you ruiners of park anniversaries! Edited April 1, 2017 by anonymouscactus Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestThemeParks 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Wouldnt they have to make the structure twice as wide to be able to support a dueling coaster and add a lot of extra structure to support the load? I feel making a regular coaster into a dueling coaster would be more work and money then it would be worth. Link to post Share on other sites
Fooz 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 It looks like the ride has unusually wide beams across the structure, and there seems to be extra supports on other spots too. It's looking like a mobius racer to me now (maybe with a launch on the MCBR structure instead of a second lift to sync them up?) Link to post Share on other sites
ImNotOneOfYou 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Maybe the second track is in the shed. Link to post Share on other sites
coasterkid21 0 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'm highly skeptical of a dueling ride. Would it be amazing? Hell yes. But at the moment I don't see enough room for two tracks. Link to post Share on other sites

Â I think a dualing coaster is such a neat idea, especially for Mean Steak. Good guys vs. bad guys would be such a fun idea to play around with. Â Two things: Â 1. It's dueling. dUEling. Please everyone stop misspelling that. You're killing me! Â 2. Anyone who doesn't think this is an April Fool's joke is not very smart. I realize that applies to a few people in this thread. Just putting that out there. Link to post Share on other sites
DoinItForTheFame 3 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 If the whole... "They're coming." thing means ANYTHING... I think it is just Cedar Point's way of saying there are more teasers coming... Â "They're coming..." as in there are more teasers coming. . . Sure, "they're" and "there" isn't the same thing, but that's about all I think we can take away from this video. . . Link to post Share on other sites

Snoopy 0 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The video didn't really say enough to be an April fools joke. In 5 months when they announce are they going to say, "We said 'they' but it was April 1st and it didn't mean anything?" I don't get it. And I'm a little smart. I've been tested. Â I still think this is the start of a series of teasers and clues till the announcement like Holiday World did with the journal. Link to post Share on other sites

I think "They're" was there to simply play into the theme of outlaws rolling into town or something. I don't even think misguiding or fooling fans was Tony's intention. Â I'll put it this way: Cedar Point trolls their fans 365 days a year. If they wanted to trick the community into thinking Mean Streak would be a dueling RMC in 2018, they wouldn't do it on April Fools Day. Tony is a better troll than that.

Fooz 0 Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The mean streak update twitter account has been pretty coy, assuming it's park PR. It had the 'their' thing and has pointed out the extra supports on the outer bank turn (and the MCBR). The outer banked turn and the wood facing it looks basically like an extended high five already, and TC is the only RMC to use this many of these super wide beams for support. Some video was showing side-by-side airtime hills following the outer bank too. Seems like a possibility to me. A "Showdown" theme would be an easy fit for frontierland.

All I did was entertain the idea of the ride dueling. Review my post again. I referred to it as "a neat idea" and "could make sense". I didn't say it was probable or realistic. I just said that it was a fun idea. I don't think anyone on this forum would argue that it's impossible. But I'm sorry that the way I entertained the idea wasn't realistic enough for you. Â And for the record, I was against the MT drop track idea since day one. Link to post Share on other sites
