Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[Ccron10]

It seems like CP has made our guessing job a little bit easier:

http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/poll/index.cfm

 

The poll options are roller coaster, thrill ride, restaurant, Halloweekends, and a new children's area.

 

Personally I think water ride, but since the Whyte Lightning name has been tied to 2 other Cedar Fair projects and having a MF logo, it could be possible. Just because they don't have footers yet doesn't mean it's not a coaster.

They're throwing you off! It's none of the above. Besides, a poll asking what the park will build? Will the most votes mean they build that? Ha.

[Ccron10]

Exactly. That's why I think it might be a water ride. Unless they want us to think it's none of the above.... lol. Right now I'm just open-minded and don't care what they get since they already have 18 decent coasters (somewhere there's probably a CP fanboy yelling at me. lol), but personally a water ride wouldn't be a bad choice.

They already know what they are building, they just want to see if people guess it right. Water ride is out since it is not an option. And apparently they are reading these type of forums as they know of all the different speculations about the "island" being turned into a halloween thing.....given that was one of the options, and how many gp type people would look at that website and really understand what all that meant anyway?

I'm being really, really facetious in this thread.

[eddie200330]

Facetious?? Exactly, the only way to truly get through these "mega" threads with any kind of sanity!! LMAO

[CorkscrewFoley]

This whole Whyte Lightning thing is insane. I've even tried running it throug an anagram program, and getting nothing.

[HCLcoasters]

^ You have an anagram program?

 

I don't think even CF would do that.

That would be the one. I used it a few years back with Intamin coming out witha new inversion...Flair Loop...I had to try...was hoping to crack it.

[chemical_echo]

Water ride is out since it is not an option.

A water ride can be a thrill ride.

[Diamondback'09]

On Twitter just recently a girl said she was excited to see what Cp is building next year and that she was going to Halloweekends in two months. Cp replied and said that she will know whats going on before then.

[Homeboy23]

^ Hopefully soon so we won't have to guess every style of ride out there.

[HCLcoasters]

^ I think we already have!

 

By the way, a tent has been spotted over by Gemini where work trucks are usually stationed for a new addition to the park. It may be nothing but you never know.

The tent you speak of has been around since 2007. It is the storage tent for the Halloweekends parade floats, and is located between the Planning & Design building and Gemini. The stationing area for new additions to the park has always been either the Soak City parking lot (Dragster and Millennium) or near Breakers Express (Maverick).

[HCLcoasters]

^ Thanks for the clarification.

[GriffonFan09]

I still think it's gonna be a new roller coaster

[coolcalicoaster]

No one has mentioned a Dive Coaster. It could be a possibility right? I am not a huge fan of them but it would be a unique experience to the point.

I dont care what they build but I am not a big fan of the games CP plays. Really annoying

[HCLcoasters]

A DM is way to big for the plot of land that's availible. Sadly I don't think that it would work.

[atem122]

Doesnt CP have some Intamin contract? Or am I just really stupid?

[LJGoBlue]

^Yes I have heard of that before, but I'm not sure if it is actually true. Supposedly when MF was built Intamin made a contract for five coasters in ten years. So far they have built three since: TTD, WT, and Maverick. If you add MF that makes four plus whatever is to be built in 2010 would be five, thus fulfilling the contract.

[coastermoosh]

That's an urban legend (or wishful thinking).

[CoasterCard]

No such contracts exist

[eddie200330]

 

If this is the area they are looking at building upon, I really don''t see much in the way of a coaster going there as MF already occupies pretty much all the available ground space with supports and such??

[coasterdude5]

^ If they want something to go there, they'll make it fit.
