Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

You know what I had never thought of it that way ^^^^. Just maybe that might be a reasonable answer to the clue.

[HCOSurfer90]

I've been thinking, what if "in a whole new direction" meant backwards instead of going forwards. They could have 2 trains, maybe one backwards and one forwards giving "in a whole new direction" meaning. Probably not true but it would be a good idea IF the ride was smooth.

[Immel Man]

I'm all for a record breaking-looper as long as there is at least some substance to the ride. That means a custom layout (no Colossus derivative) with a few non inversion elements thrown in as well. An air hill and helix somewhere along the circuit would be enough. An entirely new inversion would be a great idea too if they could come up with something good.

[Jon Sabo]

That could be a fun way!

They could add just six inversions (go forward and backwards) and then break the inversion record in about a 40 second timeframe..wheee lol

[jamesdillaman]

How about a 500 foot elevator lift (Like LoCoSuMo), more-than-verticle drop, 10 inversions, then a boomerang like spike, and while the car is held on that spike, there's a track switch much like EE at animal kingdom, and the train goes backwards through airtime filled bunny hops before splashing down in the bay of sandusky (it IS an aquatrax after all...) Yeah, I'd ride it...

^never gona happen.

[jamesdillaman]

yeah, i was throwing in a bit of sarcasm, just a touch for added drama to this thread.

A shuttle coaster with 6 inversions is only counted as 6 inversions, not 12. Vekoma boomerangs have 3, even though they go through each one twice.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I am really hoping for the backwards one. I really like those type!

 

 

 

Im a boomreang enthusaist!

[FlippyTrick09]

I read on Screamscape that the ride will have 2 different sections. The first one will have a regular lift hill, and the 2nd one will have a launched section besude the station. If Aqua Trax do have launched section, then my bet is and Aqua Trax.

 

 

Here is the article http://www.screamscape.com/html/cedar_point.htm

^ That would be awsome, could be what this is for.

[COASTER FREAK 11]

There seems to be a lot of really big footer boxes that are being built, even for a station.

That ride would be beyond awesome. Now, I'm really hoping for something like that in the form of an Intamin multi-looper.

Whats up with all these red coasters at CP?

[jamesdillaman]

and what's up with airline food??

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Well it looks more of a darker red then the other ones, maybe...

[Wes]

What's the deal with peanuts? Are they a pea or a nut?

[Real]

ID like to know where they got this information from. I do not believe a word that any employee says - ever. Only a small portion are coaster geeks who would even know who makes the track let alone know the design.

 

If the two writers (restraining from calling them names) had to get "in the know" I doubt anyone else knows. Anything that Screamscape says or anyone else is pure fiction at this point with no validity.

[Jon Sabo]

If it is going to become a "two part" coaster, then perhaps they can have the red track for the first half and change the track color for the second half..lol

 

Hmmm, two-parts (aqua-track theory coming back into play again). LOL!

If it is a western-themed coaster, I wish they painted it similar to DW-Tenn. Tornado or Wildfire (SDC). Give it a rustic 'old west' look.

Ya, I know that a shuttle loop coaster would only count as one set of inversion, but you know how marketing departments can be creative and say it is 12 (with 6 inversion elements).

I still can't see the pictures on PB (I am a member), could someone either explain what's wrong or post the pics on here, and just give the credit to PB?

Someone should ask an employee if it's a B&M. Then if they say yes, we know they're lying!

Look at the FAQ on PB.

 

And, Tony and Tyler didn't need to get in the know, it was just a tease. They obviously have known for a while now.

[Real]

Their position gets them "in the know". Thats what I meant. Their position being so visible makes it perfect for advertising.

Then whats the point asking?
