Skycoastin Steve Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Still have my fingers crossed for a new Intamin. They could probably fit a nice Zac-Spin coaster where Demon Drop was! That's what my money is on and will continue to be on until they announce whatever the new ride is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Whatever it is, count on it being a people-eater. CF knows the crowds they get at CP and they want as many as possible to move through the lines as quickly as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeelTheFORCE Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I also rode the one at Thorpe Park and while a unique ride, I kinda had a "meh" feeling about it. I'm not a huge fan of the Top Spin's either so I am hoping that is not what the new thrill ride is for 2011. What did they do with the one at Geauga Lake...anyone know? I believe it's at CGA now.

CorkscrewFoley Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Okay, so I wasn't the only one thinking of a Zac Spin where Demon Drop is...I'd think they might even go with a Gerstlauer spinner or a Gerstlauer Bobsled... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedB Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Thats cool...I was kind of hoping the bottles of Whyte Lightning from the media teasers would be sold...but I guess time will tell I was hoping those would be the souvenir cups for this year. Unfortunaty they have red, typical sport bottles. From what I was told, those are only temporary until Shoot The Rapid's cups arrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaMiTsPaT Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I don't want to try to forget about STR, as I am very excited to ride it in June, but has anyone thought that Cedar Point might add a dark ride? Do they have one that is escaping me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkyle Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 no the don't ..unless you count Disaster Transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Cedar Fair was getting too cheap to even have a good souvenir cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have one that is escaping me? That would actually be a decent speculative choice if Kinzel hadn't already said it was geared towards thrill seekers.

Joe_Spence Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I think a perfect fit for the Demon drop space would be a S&S Screaming Squirrel...its got a small footprint,and would bolster their coaster count...you can read a description about it here: tinyurl.com/39j6une Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 ^Perhaps an El Loco would be even better. Knowing CP, they'd get a new layout of the ride as well, which would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I like the idea of the Screaming Squirrel, but I honestly can't see it happening...I always thought a nice Top Spin with lots of water would be nice there...maybe even tie it in with Demin's Drop history...

BrownStreak Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Don't know if Sandusky/CP is having the same weather as here- if they are, sure is a shame STR isn't open to help deal with this oppressive heat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 The Screamin Squirrels are TERRIBLE. How about a giant Intamin ZacSpin in place of Demon Drop...THAT WOULD RULE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkyle Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm going to guess it will be a Zach Spin like stated above or LSM version (Ball coaster).If they go with the ball coaster could bill it as the first of its kind/ tallest (what Cedar Point is known for), just my 2 cents.

BrownStreak Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ^, ^^, and ^^^: Aren't they VERY low capacity coasters? Is it possible to make one with multi-car trains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ^I'm pretty sure the collective minds of CP and Intamin could come up with a higher capacity ZacSpin. Just because previous models don't get the greatest capacity doesn't mean newer ones won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Made my first visit to Cedar Point today. Great day over all. Decent crowd at the park. There were some schools there doing Physics Day but other than that, it wasn't crazy busy by any means. I'll be going again tomorrow. Hopefully I grow the balls to ride Millennium Force and Dragster before going back to Phoenix. LOL As far as Mean Streak......ride or no ride? Bad or Good?

CorkscrewFoley Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Yeah, I'd say ride it...at least if the Texas Giant rehab is a success, and they can do the same with Mean Streak, you can at least say you've ridden both, etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaGuy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Cool deal. I just don't want to ruin the rest of the day with a headache so maybe I'll wait until the end of the day to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDcoasterMAN Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 As far as Mean Streak......ride or no ride? Bad or Good? Do not ride Yellow Train. Red Train is ok, but Yellow Train left me with black and blue bruises... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
