Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

P. 2037: Siren’s Curse tilt coaster announced for 2025!

Recommended Posts

Wow I thought you guys were to harsh on mean streak until I went to cedar point today and rode it for the first time. But it amazes me how something that looks so good can be so bad. There were no redeeming qualities for this ride whatsoever.

Quoted for truth from a fresh perspective. You nailed it on the head, it is a beautiful sight to behold. Have you seen pictures of it from the lake? My goodness it's coaster porn. But to actually ride... Nobody is exaggerating. Nobody.

 

I have ridden both Mean Streak and Timberwolf at WOF in the last two weeks, and Timberwolf makes Mean Streak feel like an Intamin.

 

Sure MS is rough (although my ride in the front row wasn't really too bad), but Timberwolf is a chiropractor's wet dream. I've ridden it many times over the years since it opened, but it is now seriously the worst pile of crap I've ever ridden and Mean Streak wasn't even close IMO...

As someone completely uninterested in basketball - this sounds incredibly stupid

 

Oh well - from what I overheard today - he came back to Cleveland. Ugh...I just got used to Dale Earnhartd theming.

Mantis colors really aren't that far off, Cavs colors are gold, maroon (wine), and navy. Maybe they can rename it and then change the ride to floorless/sit down the following year. One can dream...

Cedar Point just tweeted:

 

It's been fun to watch the excitement surrounding the return of @KingJames to Cleveland. We stand ready to honor our original tweet.

 

Stand might just be a hint to Mantis. There have been rumors of floorless trains on Mantis soon and it does need new paint. Like you all said it is practically Cavs colors already.

 

Just speculating though!

I have a few theories:

 

Mantis- Paint the top of the track yellow and the supports red and maybe the rumored floorless trains. Maybe paint the ride's plaza to look like a basketball court?

 

Wicked Twister- It's an awful name in my opinion and all they have to do is paint the supports red, maybe add a loud basketball buzzer when it hits the highest point? Plus it goes back and forth.

 

Mean Streak- All they have to do is paint the trains and if they RMC it they just have to keep the name for a few years.

 

I personally don't care about basketball but as an Ohioan that's been forced to listen to all of this that's my two cents on it.

I hope the one receiving the name change is Mantis. I don't particularly like the name and the paint scheme is pretty hideous. I really doubt that they are going to change the trains, but they could surprise me.

Marketing is a beautiful thing. Hence why I decided to earn a Bachelor Degree in Marketing. Cedar Point's tweet did exactly what they wanted it to do; make all of you talk about Cedar Point on social media and get the park some cheap exposure. Absolutely brilliant idea! Probably for some short period of time a coaster will take on the nickname "King James," but Cedar Point isn't stupid enough to permanently rename and re-theme a ride to feed the ego of a famous athlete.
