robbalvey 128 Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Steel Vengeance Announced for 2018! They’re back. And they’re back with a VENGEANCE! Once intimidated and disrespected by the musings of Maverick, outcasts Jackson “Blackjack” Chamberlain, Chess “Wild One” Watkins and Wyatt “Digger” Dempsey have returned to FrontierTown to right the wrongs done to them and their fellow FrontierTown Folk. The three are bringing with them a roller coaster forged so big and so bold, an entirely new category of thrill ride has been branded: the hyper-hybrid – the world’s first steel-on-wood hybrid roller coaster to stand over 200 feet tall. Mirroring Blackjack’s impressive height, Chess’ unconventional and wild personality and Digger’s blazing speed of the draw, this new machine is now the force to be reckoned with. The law-abidin’ folk of FrontierTown have a new leader – Steel Vengeance. This Wild West thrill comes action-packed with a height of 205 feet above the prairie, a 90-degree initial drop down to the earth, almost 30 seconds of airtime (the most on any roller coaster on Earth), 4 head-over-boots inversions, ricocheting movements left-to-right, up-to-down and side to side…it’s a roller coaster only Cedar Point could build – and you have the chance to saddle up and take the ride of your life beginning in 2018! Ride Stats Height: 205 feet Speed: 74 mph First Drop: 200 feet Inversions: 4 Length: 5,740 feet Duration: 2 minutes, 30 seconds Height Requirement: 48" Trains: 3 Riders per Train: 24 Riders per Hour: 1,200 A New World Record Breaker Coaster Records Broken 1. World's tallest hybrid roller coaster (205 feet tall) 2. World's fastest hybrid roller coaster (74 miles per hour) 3. World's steepest drop on a hybrid roller coaster (90 degrees) 4.

Fastest airtime hill on a hybrid roller coaster (73 mph) 8. Most airtime on a hybrid roller coaster (27.2 seconds) 9. Most airtime on any roller coaster (27.2 seconds) 10. World's first "hyper-hybrid" roller coaster Park Records Broken 1. Most steel roller coaster track at one amusement park (57,865 feet/11 miles) 2. Most roller coaster track at one amusement park (60,423 feet/11.4 miles) 3. Most rides at one amusement park (71) 4. Most roller coasters over 200 feet tall at one amusement park (6) 5. Most roller coasters with a first drop of 90 degrees or more at one amusement park (5) Tallest, Fastest, Wildest: Cedar Point Introduces Entirely New Classification of “Hyper-Hybrid” Roller Coaster SANDUSKY, Ohio, Aug. 16, 2017 – Cedar Point’s FrontierTown will be transformed when Steel Vengeance – the tallest, fastest and longest hybrid roller coaster in the world – opens in the spring of 2018. At more than 200 feet tall, the new hybrid design combines a steel running track on a massive wooden structure that provides an extremely smooth and comfortable ride while enabling the coaster’s trains to perform maneuvers previously unheard of on a wooden roller coaster. The Wildest Ride Cedar Point Has Ever Built Steel Vengeance will offer riders unmatched intensity through a relentless series of dynamic movements on this innovative coaster. Riders will board one of three trains and climb 205 feet above FrontierTown. Once they crest the lift hill, they’ll be staring straight down a 90-degree initial drop and a 200-foot fall to earth. Multiple airtime hills follow, including the world’s fastest airtime hill ever created on a hybrid roller coaster, and a 116-foot-tall outer-banked hill placing riders on an outward tilt while moving forward. Steel Vengeance will also debut the first-of-its-kind “Twisted Snake Dive.” In this new maneuver, the coaster’s train will enter a half-barrel roll, hang upside-down for a brief moment and then turn back in the direction of travel, not completing a full roll. The coaster’s figure-eight layout will create a fast-paced journey with multiple airtime hills, twists and dives, overbanked turns and surprise maneuvers. The entire ride will last approximately 2 minutes, 30 seconds. “This is another roller coaster that only Cedar Point could build – tallest, fastest and longest of its kind with four inversions and the exciting movements the hybrid design can achieve,” said Jason McClure, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “There are so many unexpected moments on Steel Vengeance, it’s just plain twisted. It’ll be an extremely wild experience for our guests.” The World’s First “Hyper-Hybrid” Steel Vengeance introduces a new classification of roller coaster – the “hyper-hybrid.” The coaster not only combines a hybrid construction of smooth steel track set atop a wood support structure, but also reaches a height of over 200 feet – the defining feature of a “hyper-coaster.” It marks the fourth classification of roller coaster introduced by Cedar Point as the park’s ever-higher roller coasters have needed new categories to define them. Previous roller coasters that were world’s firsts include Magnum XL-200 – a “hyper-coaster,” a term given to any roller coaster that breaks a 200-foot height; Millennium Force – the world’s first “giga-coaster,” a coaster eclipsing a 300-foot height; and Top Thrill Dragster – the world’s first “strata-coaster,” soaring over 400 feet tall. They’re Coming. But Who Are “They?” Throughout the summer of 2017, the park released clues about the ride on social media, all referencing the word, “they.” The story of Steel Vengeance will be told through three new outlaws who have banded together to “unsaddle” the reign of Maverick, FrontierTown’s low-to-the-ground, double-launching roller coaster. Throughout the winter months, guests will learn more about Jackson “Blackjack” Chamberlain, Chess “Wild One” Watkins and Wyatt “Digger” Dempsey.

DoinItForTheFame 33 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I remember back to when people were like "Oh, they can't go over 200ft... The existing structure wont allow it" and Cedar Point took that as a challenge to prove us wrong!! I can't wait to see a clearer POV I could barely make out what was happening during the live stream!! Link to post Share on other sites
thrillseeker4552 83 Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 THIS THING IS INSANE! I'm so glad there's no launch or tilt track or other stupid gimmick. It's just a HUGE, steep, fast, long, twisty ride! BRAVO!!!! I have no doubt this will beat Maverick as the "king" of Frontier Town. Link to post Share on other sites
