Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

Maybe a red track for the (possibly) new dive coaster.

[JRice92]

Red over brown? Red Iron Horse over brown Mean Streak supports?

[MagnumFreak25]

It's Sheikra red. Dive Machine confirmed.

[GCI Wooden]

I know! It's going to be a red Aquatrax!

[JonnyRCT3]

I doubt it is anything major. CP doesn't tease about anything regarding next season (2016 in this case) until after opening day. This probably has something to do with 2015's additions.

 

That being said, RMC is wishful thinking, CF needs to get in the RMC game. Plenty of woodies across the chain could be turned into top 3 rides at their respective parks.

Honestly, the coaster renderings are terrible. How am I supposed to believe that that is what the pavilions are going to look like, the first turn on the island of millennium force is floating in the air...

 

There needs to be a lot more seagull sh!t on the roof.

Honestly though, my vote is for both of the hurlers to get that conversion before mean streak sees it...

Regarding the sharpie picture, Sharpie's commercial is "write like you mean it", so I'm pretty sure its just a joke. (this means something->Write like you mean it..?) Just a guess.

Hold up, hold up.... Write like you MEAN it? This MEANS something? Red sharpie? RMC Mean Streak triple confirmed!

[ImNotOneOfYou]

The cap is partially open... partially open trains on a dive coaster?

 

Red means stop. Dive coasters... stop before each big drop.

 

Red captures attention. Splashdowns on dive coasters capture attention.

[Comeagain?]

It's a red sharpie. Maverick is red. The sharpie's on a book. Writing a book on Maverick.

[Nickstroberg]

Is everybody here crazy..? Haha, I do, however, wish some of you were right though

[drummermattk]

More Red Baron rides in Planet Snoopy?

[willthegolfer]

Crazy? No. Sarcastic, definitely.

[PVA62]

Clearly Magnum has sunk far too much and now they have to remove it...

[Diamondbacker27]

Red 20000 foot tall, 298774920 foot long aquatrax. Sponsored by Sharpie and notebooks. Confirmed.

Those confirmed things are really funny to me

[RaceBoarder]

Cedar Point is deep in the red and closing their doors forever

[DarienLaker]

Cedar Point is going to repaint Iron Dragon with red tracks and brown supports!

[coasterbill]

...well it's officially the middle of February which means the offseason is starting to take it's toll on everyone's sanity.

[JRice92]

^Yes, Ohio's 6 month off season is the worst. I'm going to Tampa in March, and I'll be able to regain some sanity back with a quick Busch Gardens Trip.

[VF15]

Just wondering, do all of the Cedar Point hotels offer early access, or is it only Hotel Breakers?

 

Also, my trip will likely be second week of June during the week. How bad should crowds be?

[GnastyGnoric7]

^All of Cedar Point's hotels offer the early access perk.

This is slightly off topic, but this is a question I asked a while ago and didn't get an answer. How many people per hour is considered a good capacity? I thought anything over 1000 people per hour is considered good, but someone said Maverick and TTD have bad capacities.

Really I think it has more to due with their capacity versus the demand that they have. I believe Maverick's capacity was somewhere around 1200 pph. Not B&M numbers but not terrible. The issue is its popularity and its downtime. It also makes them seem a little worse that they share a park with several coasters (Raptor, GateKeeper, Magnum, etc.) that can really chew through the crowds.
