Pufferfish 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm glad I got to ride it this year. It was actually one of the best non-coaster rides at CP, and it never had a line, which was one of the best things about it. It will definitely be missed. This just leaves me wondering, what are they going to be able to put in its place? Demon Drop doesn't really have too large of a foot print. Link to post Share on other sites
slither37 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Good point, obviously the only ride that could fit in there would be a flat, but I think that the park may expand the game area near there or add a restaurant? Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Benvenuto 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 ^ BAH!!! We've only gotten 4 resturants in the past 3 years. Â A new arcade or game center would be nicer then more food. Link to post Share on other sites
Reon 0 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I am greatly saddened by this news. Demon Drop was one of my to-do list things for whenever I go up to the Point. I'm gonna miss it next year, though I guess that frees up time for more re-rides on Blue Streak and Maverick Link to post Share on other sites
matteocrepaldi 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I've been to Cedar Point twice and I've never ridden it. It's been at least 4 years they were talking about removing it and they finally do. Link to post Share on other sites
Ccron10 0 Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Just my luck. The year before I go to Cedar Point for the first time, they remove one of the rides I really wanted to try out. Murphy strikes again. Link to post Share on other sites
technfxrick 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 There was some stuff on Screamscape awhile ago about removing Demon Drop, Disaster Transport, and taking out some of the employee parking and putting a GCI in there, maybe thats what they will do. Link to post Share on other sites
KrazyT 0 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Disaster Transport isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites

It's been at least 4 years they were talking about removing it and they finally do. Â Three of the four were involving the idea of selling the ride, it failed so it's going to KBF.

robbalvey 83 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Has there been any update on the new water ride lately? Link to post Share on other sites
traincrossin 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 There are some new pics from the Cedar Point Blog of the first steel pieces for Shoot the Rapids. Â Â Â Â They are also pouring footers. Â Â Â You can also check out the construction by watching the webcam or by going to the construction gallery. Link to post Share on other sites
Airtime&Gravity 1 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Even though I'm not a fan of having Millennium Force running over the ride, I am still a fan of the rides location. Most of the log flumes I've come across are out in the park, and most look pretty ugly. Shoot the Rapids reminds me of the log flume at SFSTL where it is hidden in the forest, and it should add to the ride, especially with the ride's theme. Also, the new log flume track looks really good, certainly a lot better than that of the old Arrow log flumes. Link to post Share on other sites
Reon 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I think they started construction so slow because of its location. During the haunt, one of the mazes (also the best one), went all over Millenium island and near the proposed site I think. Link to post Share on other sites
traincrossin 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 This was a comment from the Cedar Point Blog. Lucas writes: (9/3/09 - 11:56 am)With the ride going on to Millennium Island, will that impact Terror Island either this season or next? Or will this Fright Zone be discontinued? From Tony:Â The ride will have little to no impact on Terror Island. It will likely not have an impact on Fright Zone either. Link to post Share on other sites
Troy98 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Cedar Point is my dream park. When I get old enough I'm definitely going here and I'll probably stop by Kings Island and Holiday World if i get the chance. Link to post Share on other sites
STR8FXXXINEDGE 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I haven't seen anything mentioned about this yet, and if it has, I'm sorry. Â Anyway, I found this kind of interesting. Â Tony & Tyler posted a new Blog on the CP website that said Demon Drop will now be going to Dorney Park and not Knott's Berry Farm as was originally planned. Â Here's a link to the blog which also has a bit more info on other projects as well. http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm Link to post Share on other sites
traincrossin 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 I find it interesting that they were originally planning on moving Demon Drop to Knotts but then changed their minds. I wonder what prompted them to make this change? We also have an update on where it's going. We can confirm that it's not going to Knott's Berry Farm in California as originally stated. Â After consideration of the aesthetics, geography and use of the land near the proposed ride area, it was decided that it will be better suited for our sister park, Dorney Park in Allentown, PA.

Chris Benvenuto 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 ^ I believe it's because of the backlash the Knott's idea got. Plus, since park authorities do read these forums quite often as well. Link to post Share on other sites
The Disneylander 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Maybe if we go up in arms just one more time, it'll get moved to Michigan's Adventure! Link to post Share on other sites
haux 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 It's a really loud ride. I'm sure they figured the neighbors wouldn't be happy with that, so that was probably the biggest factor. Link to post Share on other sites
slither37 0 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Info on Coastermania 2010 is up. New this year is "behind the scenes" tours of Maverick and MF on Sat. morning, and 2 hours of ERT on MF, which will be nice. Hopefully will be a warm morning as ERT on Shoot the Rapids is also scheduled for Sat. morning, and for some odd reason, ERT on Mantis on Friday night. Â Hopefully Big Mike can make it in 2010!

atem122 0 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 As if you weren't smart enough to already have a good idea of what the boats look like, here they are! The video also has a construction update too. Link to post Share on other sites
traincrossin 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Along with their last video they also posted some pics of the boats and have said that there will be no seatbelts. Right now it looks like they're just puring a lot of concrete. Â Â Also, the final piece of steel from Demon Drop was removed from Cedar Point and is on its way to Dorney. Â Â Last thing. They've been posting some great HD POV footage of their coasters over on their YouTube channel. Link to post Share on other sites
Maverickrocks 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 It's so weird seeing that space with Demon Drop gone. Â The boats look all right, not sure if I like the wood texture though. It just seems to resemble a viking theme or a Thanksgiving theme rather then a frontier one. Maybe it will look more in place once it's blended in with the aesthetics of the ride.

CoasterPrince 0 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I think CP is planning something for Demon Drop's area. Why would you take out a ride and send it to another park? Does it not work well with the CP air? I know it was for sale but why not scrap it if you don't want it. Link to post Share on other sites
