Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[CpBluestreakCp]

^I don't expect it to break down say as much as an Intamin would. But, I'm sure it will still have a few minor setbacks, mostly because of the touchy sensors on the coaster.

[Tmcdllr]

Hmm.... negative much?

 

^^Was that supposed to be a shot at me?

 

LOL! Some of you people take my posts waaaay to seriously!

 

I figured I was safe with the winkers (and the disclaimer that is at the bottom of the webpage), but I guess not.

 

I was simply having fun with all of the comments and observations that have been mentioned about CP in the last few years - especially the one's where someone can always find something Debbie Downer-like to say about a parks new attraction or it's theming.

 

It's all about having some laughs, so thanks to the one's that "got it". Sorry if I offended anyone!

 

I should have posted this....

 

 

 

The funny or sad part is your predictions can likely come true!

 

I was not offended and looking at it again I can appreciate your sense of humor.

 

So actually I apologize for not doing that first.

Not a problem at all...thanks for acknowledging. I know that sometimes I can be kinda hard to figure out if I am being sarcastic, cynical or serious....but God forbid if I ever come across as serious!

[Tmcdllr]

Your post was very good and I admit I did enjoy it

[JJLehto]

Yeah, B&M are famous for their reliability. Anything can happen but I don't expect a breakdown.

I also am stoked for CP this May, esp now that my Aug trip fell through, gotta maximize this!

This all has me wondering what thier next coaster is going to be lol!

RMC refurbishment on Mean Streak. Would that be considered new? I think it would

[JWAddington]

^ I'm all for that!

 

Mean Streak is secluded on the other side of the train tracks, so they could be working on it during the season. I dont think many people would miss it, if they see whats going on!

 

Add some height to the lift hill, make it the "est" of all the categories of every hybrid out there! It would be interesting to watch the transformation as the season went on, then seeing the finished product on the next seasons opening day.

 

I hope Cedar Point is keeping an eye on the six flags projects with RMC!

[necoastergp]

^ It'll be interesting to see which non-six flags park goes with RMC woody conversion first if one does at all.

[DarienLaker]

^ I'm going to say that Darien Lake's Predator would be the first coaster in a non-Six Flags park to get the Rocky Mountain steel/wood conversion as "The Predator Unleashed".

[Vonni]

^I know, I've thought the same thing. There is no reason why they dont. They could make Mean Streak an awesome ride with a makeover. I really hope they do.

LOL, but you think everything everywhere will involve Darien lake every time!

 

I cant wait for a POV of this thing!

I have to ask why you have Drachen Fire as your avatar?

 

Still holding up hope that it might be reincarnated at...gee, I don't know...let me guess....ummm....

It's about time Power Tower had a sign.

 

Very nice!

[Brassinthegrass]

Nice Sign!

 

But whats going on with Gatekeeper?! no webcams is making me antsy.......

[DougMJr]

Doubt it as Rocky Mountain has already had their hands on it for a while now, as far as re-tracking and maintenance goes. Also, just not a big enough park to foot the investment.

 

Liking the new sign for Power Tower. I wonder where they are going to put all the safety info that is just chillin on that bench there.

[coasterbill]

Nice Sign!

Probably because they don't want us to see what's going on inside the launch / show building they're building now.

[necoastergp]

^ Launch?

[zachclarke2]

^Don't you remember the animation? The train is going to launch and go through the entire course backwards when it gets to the breakrun.

[rustyinpeace]

I really am not convinced it's gonna launch backwards through the whole course back to the lift hill. The train will have to go exceedingly fast to make it back to the chain and I fear that it will produce overwhelming forces to the train and it's passengers at the beginning, also B&M also are known to avoid launches. I believe that part of the animation was purely for hype.

[GigaG]

These posts are definitely not sarcastic...

You don't know what B&M is capable of, you're not the engineer
