[COASTER FREAK 11]

Maybe it's a giant umbrella that will keep the park from shutting down when it drizzles.

 

WIN!

[dandaman]

All right... I lied.

 

If it's a Mack Wild Mouse, CP would then proceed to add an inch to the height in order to over-overmarket it as "the best ever and only spinning coaster at this park".

 

This might keep the fanboy masses happy... I mean, there hasn't been a new coaster opened since, like, 3 months ago.

 

I say add one of those insane self-powered boats for a little while and see how long it takes for some morbosity to sue for "making me do all the work".

 

// They should include Soak City with your Breakers stay to make a small step towards justifying the room rate.

[FeelTheFORCE]

It very well could be a smaller coaster, like a wild mouse or whatever, because CP built WT in 2002, then TTD in 2003, so they have built coaster in back to back years before. I am still sticking to it being a topple tower, though, or possibly some kind of water ride. But if the topple tower has fountains and gets the riders wet, they can 'kill two birds with one stone'.

I know what they are getting. A friend of a friend of a friend whose Cousin works at a Lemon Chill stand in Challenge Park told me. It's a giant hole. It's purpose to keep the fanboys guessing what CP is up to since it has been a whopping 6 months since any construction whatsoever has been done at the park.

^That would be the mostly likely guess for me, or they would build a giant ride themed to a trashcan.

No, the Giant Trash Can themed ride is for 2009. This same Lemon Chill person told me so.

I thought his goal was to buy all the other parks, make them worse, then in comparision CP looks better.

Darn now I am gonna have to wait a whole nother year!

[MrTwister]

let it be ready til May 2008! Thats the next time I want visit CP!

 

Yeah let it be like May 2006, my first time in US an CP! 2 Roll baks, low crowds, little raining, over 7 rides Dragster front row, over 10 times MF etc....

[BrownStreak]

They had gotten into this groove (or rut) of opening major rides on even years and minor ones on odd years i.e.: MANTIS '96, Chaos '97, POWER TOWER '98, Camp Snoopy '99, M-FORCE '00, etc. At some point they did a double coaster year when they added WT- in my opinion they copied the wrong ride from GL! So they are now on major odds and minor evens- though if you are a kid- Camp Snoopy was a major addition and they got Woodstock Express out of it which is a nice coaster to transition from JG to say Wild Cat or Iron Drag.

 

Going just on this predictable track record I would definately say that it won't be much and they even said anything yet whereas when I worked there in '99 much work was being done on Millie before HE opened (ships get to be girls- coasters can be boys).

[thefitness]

I rode Maverick a few days ago, and it was freaking awesome! My very first ride my train rolled back in the tunnel. They let us re-ride, and it was a pretty cool experience.

 

Anyways, the ride was amazing. The airtime kicked Millennium forces ass! It was probably my favorite ride at the the park, besides Raptor, which I didn't get a chance to ride.

[andy_e219]

The Mavrik has to be by far the best coaster I've ever rode. And I only had to wait in line for a 1/2 hour.

[downunder]

I didn't have any huge expectations of Maverick and I pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed Maverick. Some people found the different elements rolled together a bit random but I liked it, it was like having the best bits of a lot of coasters rolled into one ride.

 

The first drop was great, especially at the back, I wish the drop could have been bigger though, and the brake after the second launch was a bit of a shame.

[kewlcoasterdude]

Im going to be honest. Maverick is the best coaster to be built in the last 5 years. There is no other coaster that comes close. Tatsu "might" be a distant second.

[kewlcoasterdude]

Cedar Point has a new log flume on the way! I knew they would build a new one after tearing down WWL. I cant't way to see the plans. Knowing Cedar Point, it will be a good one. I can't wait for my next trip up there. Planning on going in 08.

[slither37]

For what it is worth, Kinzel etc, at Coastermania, pretty much confirmed that a new coaster would not be built this year to open in 2008.

 

Besides, No Streak has not caught on fire yet and I am hoping that land is where a good coaster, one day, will be built.

 

So I am guessing that this year will be a flat ride, but 1/4 inch higher, 1/4MPH faster, or 1/2 more revolutions than something somewhere else.

[kewlcoasterdude]

You must be talking about SFMM and SFGADV.

[coaster05]

You must be talking about SFMM and SFGADV.

 

CP is just as bad at doing that as those other parks.

[CP_RULES]

My ideas...

 

New Flat Ride

----------------

Plausible - Though I see them going more in a family approach.

 

Kiddie Ride

--------------

Plausible - They need a few more "kids" attractions there.

 

Wild Mouse

-------------

Plausible yet highly unorthodox for CP

 

Family Play Center

----------------------

Plausible

 

Summary of post: anything is possible.

Man I hope that you dissing the coaster and not my handle there for although I happen to be flaming at times I don't plan on catching fire anytime soon and besides the land under me is too small for a coaster anyways.

[ECZenith]

Maybe they'll squeeze in whatever's left from Geauga.

 

I'm hoping for a big flat ride myself, they've done good by adding Maxair and Skyhawk and I hope they keep it up.

[rosscoe]

It's going to have something to do with "Cheese"!

CP New ride Theme.....

[Golfie]

...and yet, Six Flags Great America sits new-coaster-less

[orangecats2]

Well no one has guessed this - i think that it will be a shooting dark ride. Since they took out Earthquake and then Pirate Ride they dont have one and alot of other parks do.
