FeelTheFORCE 2 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Maybe because Son of Beast might close down for good, this will open up an opportunity for Cedar Point to build the tallest and fastest wooden coaster? Not necessarily next year, but eventually. Something to think about. Link to post Share on other sites
Team Thriller 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^ Do they have enough room for that even? I mean just look at Son of Beast's size. --James Link to post Share on other sites

I won't be thinking about that idea at all Yeah but Mean Streak was obviously built prematurely and before it's time. New and different technology is available now that wasn't there in 1991. I was just throwing it out there as some food for thought. Besides, Magnum didn't stop them from building Millennium, essentially a taller and faster Magnum. ^Do they have enough room for that even? I mean just look at Son of Beast's size. --James Son of Beast is a large coaster because it's fairly long. Look at El Toro. It's 181 feet tall and 4400 feet long (about 2600 feet shorter than SOB), and it doesn't seem to take up a huge chunk of land at all. Plus T&T have insisted numerous times that Cedar Point is NOT running out of space. Link to post Share on other sites
Tbcoasterfan 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Cedar Point still has PLENTY of room. 300 acre park, 64 acre parking lot. They will eventually build out into the lot and I bet either build parking structures (Which are very costly), or look at some offsite parking alternatives (May be more likely). Now Sandusky Griffing Airport is eventually moving from it's current location on the water on Cleveland Road. Cedar Point could buy this property, and then some day build a parking complex there and then ferry the guests over like Magic Kingdom style. Link to post Share on other sites
PriestofSyrinx 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Or they could just stay at the Breakers, thats never a bad Idea... But Cedar Point still has a lot of undeveloped land, and the land that would free up once mean streak will be buh-bye. Either that or Disaster Transport. Personally, I'd like to see Mean Streak go under first... Link to post Share on other sites
lankanboy101 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^You have to remember that Cedar Fair is in great Debt who are more considering selling their land than buying some. Link to post Share on other sites
MattMattMatt 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Rumors about CP expanding into the parking lot have been around as long as the internet. Bottom line is that CP is a massive park with plenty of space, and the only reasons rumors persist is because of the park's unique physical geography which is readily apparent to anyone who's been there or seen a picture of the place. The park's attendance has been relatively flat for a long time now, why would they expand the park's boundary so dramatically? What would be the point, especially when with creative ride placement and removal and shuffling they have plenty of perfectly good, midway-accessible real estate already?

coastermoosh 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm sure CP's annoucement for 2010 will make a huge splash in the industry. And then the battle begins for who holds the record.... Link to post Share on other sites

coasterfan21 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 ^ That would be amazing lol, though as this goes on I am starting to think that maybe it will be a record breaking water ride. Though my fingers are still crossed for a new coaster. As I have said before, what ever Cedar Point builds will be a great addition to the park. I just want them to stop dragging this out and tell us already. Link to post Share on other sites

cwsr 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 How abouts a Splash Battle that actually has different levels, drops. Also making it the world's longest, largest, and tallest in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
coastermoosh 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Ah, but an announcement of a coaster with a splashdown ending would make a splash in the coaster world and (temporarily) end the battle for most coasters, giving CP the record. Link to post Share on other sites

Hercules 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 1. I really hope it is a splash battle so all of the CP fanboys will cry. 2. On the other hand, I really don't want to hear the CP fanboys cry because it is so annoying. 3. Though, I really don't want it to be a coaster because they won't shut up about it. 4. CP fanboys are just overall annoying. 5. I just can't win. Link to post Share on other sites
