cycamps Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I'd have to say Belson or Intamin are the best guesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedB Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Belson? Can't believe it took someone this long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I really dont want to rain on any one's day but i dont see any thing big going in next year. i was at the point today, and beside that picture posted there is no sign of any thing being done to the island at the park. just one or two stacks with red flags on them. I looked and looked all day for any clues and could not find any thing. so my guss would have to be a dark ride themed around like fbi- moonshine makers defending its self. inless the joke is that it will be really opening in 2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ^ That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Kennywood's building a new coaster opening in May of 2010 and clearing (just clearing, removing the Turnpike, clearing trees, etc, no footers or anything coaster-related to my knowledge has been done yet) has only just begun a week ago. Now granted the coaster isn't HUGE, but it isn't a small project by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 They updated the blog again, showing an empty bottle of the so called Whyte Lightning beverage. Hmm, indeed.... Hey, as long as this ride has something to do with alcohol it has my stamp of approval! Prohibition: The Ride anyone? 1. The strikes twice thing. A shuttle doesn't make sense (unless it is something brand new) because the only big concepts out there are a Boomerang Cedar Point getting a boomerang? I can see the fanboys crying now... Belson? Anyone else think that "Snoopin" might have to do with Snoopy? Maybe something family friendly? I honestly have no idea so I can't wait until the announcement.

The Raven Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 After reading all the clues and seeing all the pictures, I have come to this conclusion. I have no idea what this ride, or what ever it is, is going to be. I guess we just have to wait for the announcement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well when at a park and you see executives from ride companies scoping out and surveying areas like the island. Thats called snooping around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tatertot3710 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 My guess is a boomerang. How that would suck. First one to call it. You just watch. Thank me later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ^ Look at their blog... I think they've ruled out pretty much everything but Intamin. GG for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ^ On CP's faceplace.... "Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcastn0shad0wx Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If it is going to be a coaster my guess is an Intamin family friendly spinning coaster like tornado at bakken ( http://rcdb.com/4313.htm ). It is the only coaster design I can think of that would be likely and that they would have time to build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdane Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 On CP's faceplace.... "Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer." "faceplace" FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs Fan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I agree with the spinning design but, the capacity is low on those things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 What is the possibility of a Ball Coaster or ZacSpin? Those take up a much smaller footprint, so construction wouldn't have to begin as early, would it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traincrossin Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Why is everyone assuming that Cedar Point will be making a coaster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Zac Spins have a low capacity which could be a problem for a park like Cedar Point. I don't see a coaster coming in 2010 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreaky Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Zac Spins have a low capacity which could be a problem for a park like Cedar Point. Maybe, maybe not. For example Wildcat at CP pushes 900people/hr through its course and Tele2 Insane at Grona Lund pushes 800people/hr. (at least in theory). I think a park as big and with as much to do at CP that it could withstand that argument. Granted the first few years would experience longer lines. Wishful thinking, but what about dueling ZacSpins (with Water, Fire and Tunnels!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 "Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer." Yes! There's still a chance for this guy! www.gordonrides.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterfan21 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Why is everyone assuming that Cedar Point will be making a coaster? Its just nice to hope and speculate on what it could be if it was a coaster, though I would be happy with what ever Cedar Point decides to build. They could definitely use a new water ride though, seeing as they only have 2. I'm hoping what ever the ride is that its dueling, because "Lightning Strikes Twyce". Also I think West Virginia at the bottom of the Whyte Lightning page is a clue, i'm just not sure to what yet. Any ideas? (sorry if this has already been discussed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmicha Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 ^Maybe it's a clue as to the theme of the ride, such as coal mining/rum running/etc. I have a feeling that the ride will be entered from Frontiertown/trail and will feature water in some prominent way.
