I think it means that the trains will be replace by floorless or SD...

"@TonyClarkCP: New learning from the meeting: our "5-year plan" has already changed. Pencils involved. I can assure u, it's all good!"

 

Hmmmm, interesting. Wonder what it could of changed.

I do think the more days that go by without CP telling us what's going on with Mantis, the chances are of it being totally dismantled.

^Six Flags has marketed every one of its to-be-RMC'ed rides as 'closing' only announce weeks later that they're coming back as a hybrid. No reason for Cedar Point to handle Mantis 'closing' any differently (unless it is actually closing, of course).

I'm confused, is he referring that Mantis isn't really closing. Or?

I'm pretty sure they didn't walk into a meeting this morning and decide to change their 5 year plan. They're just trying to get people excited about the announcement next month.

They might have, but it would be really rare. I'm sure they didn't change anything (as you said) maybe this is a hint at Mantis staying.

^ Who said Mantis was leaving? They just said, 'Last Stand'. They didn't say, "Last Sit." or "Last Ride".

Pencils involved. New wooden coaster? LOL

Hmm... Is Cedar Point going to spill the beans on something today?

 

It's another pun, they are going to spill re-fried beans on people during the ride.

Pencils involved.

 

"New for 2015: official Cedar Point logo pencils available in all park gift shops!" I can hardly wait for the big announcement.

Just noticed the web cam is zoomed in on the dodgems sign. If they really did change their plans maybe we will be seeing them removed.

^ Call it a hunch, but I don't think the position of the park webcams are necessarily related to rides that are on the chopping block. The other webcam is aimed at Top Thrill Dragster, and yesterday it was aimed on the midway. I think they're just showing various nice views of the park.

A Bird poop covered roof and a dirty sign is a nice view?

Now that I think about it, Cedar Point really needs a good GCI coaster.

[MagnumFreak25 0]

I would rather a GG woodie with 90 degree banks and stuff.

I would rather a CG woodie.

 

 

That way you could ride it whenever you want with no line.

[Mossed 0]

I would rather them forgo the wooden coaster for a 400 foot tall B&M.

 

But I'd also take a wooden coaster. Any coaster really. Well we are at it, maybe a coaster for Valleyfair (no, not Mantis)

Next year, CP is obviously renaming Mantis to "Key Master" and painted the track white and the supports teal.

Forgive me if this has already been posted about, but I wanted to throw an idea out there about the entire Mantis transformations. If any part of the track was actually changed , I would really love to see the drop redone to become more steep. If that didn't happen I would at least hope the trim break might be removed... I think this would be the best area of the ride to change and would make the ride much more exciting.

 

Looking forward to seeing whatever comes of this!

I noticed that the beans are "vegetarian friendly". But are they "person-sitting-behind-the-vegetarian-who-ate-the-beans friendly"?
