Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

The trains look great! I just love the look of B&M's wingrider trains!

[Geauga Dog]

One great thing about these new wing coasters is that they are quite easily to theme to just about anything. Love the look of the train so far. The lighting will be interesting, especially as you view the coaster from the parking lot at the end of the day.

[Voxelmatic]

^^Smashing!

The trains really look cool! It's gonna be awesome seeing them soaring over the entrance at night this year.

Just had this up on my phone at school, kids wanna know what it is

[harper83087]

The gatekeeper facebook page just asked if we'd like a rocky mountain make-over for MS...if they're going to tease us then I hope they are considering it haha

[Koasterking48]

^ Keep in mind that this Facebook page was almost certainly made by fans, not Cedar Point. However I would love it if Mean Streak got the same track as Outlaw Run. Maybe it would also break the speed record for woodies (maybe height too?), had an 80+ degree first drop, and was loaded with airtime. I'm totally down for a RMC treatment in general.

[harper83087]

Oh, I thought the page was run by CP, that explains a little haha. It is a nice thought though. I've always been one to keep MS as it is (see my signature haha) but after seeing NTaG, and now outlaw run and IRat, I think some RMC lovin' could do some good for that area of the park.

This is the only facebook page actually run by Cedar Point

I have no doubt the park will finish and open the ride on time. However, it does seem like there's still a lot of other work that needs to be done and there's only 2 months left. The park still needs to finish the station, test the ride, probably wire it, clean up the area, build the queue, work on scenery, and construct the entrance. I hope everything is successfully completed by opening day so guests can get the full effect and see the beauty of the new ride along with the entrance.

[UrbanLegend]

^^^Makes sense considering the ride's price tag.

I see your point, but i think 2 months is enough time, they should be able to finish all these things......unless the Yolocoaster crew switch with the Gatekeeper crew

[jfruge]

I had always thought that the sections of track that were, in fact, wired, were done so before they were constructed on the site (i.e. brake runs, lifts, etc.)?

I think that two months will be more then enough time. Did you see how fast they put the rest of the track up of the keyholes were installed? Dont worry we all will be riding will all effects come opening day!!!

[JRHcoasterki]

Look closely! The helix and bunny hop are vertical!

[vacoaster09]

Yeah I think they will be finished today ahead of schedule. Looks like only 2 or 3 more pieces of track left. Also look at how the station is progressing.

^Yea i mean they already have the skeleton of the station up, now they just need to finish it off

[Ccron10]

I don't know, but it looks like they are going to go for the last piece today. Looks like they have one more section to go!
