Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[canadianparkfan]

Given how tall they're wanting to make the ride, I don't think this would be feasible, but I think it would be cool to see some type of launch on a dive coaster at some point. Something like this:

I have a feeling your wish will be granted when CW gets their next coaster. Could totally see something like that being built in the former stand up's spot.

 

As for CP, I believe they'll be going for either height or speed, plus Agee new elements.

[DrachenfireOP]

^ wait, carowinds or Canada's wonderland? Vortex is a b&m. I'd be shocked to see any b&m go.

[JonnyRCT3]

^canadianparkfan was referring to SkyRider's old spot at Canada's Wonderland.

[DILinator]

Well CP, you're up! How do you figure to top THAT Dollywood announcement!

 

In all seriousness, I have no doubt they'll put in an awesome coaster, if that is indeed what it is. However, I still think they should have gotten their announcement in before Dollywood, to get a week or two "in the sun" before Dollywood "stole their thunder" (with Lightning! .)

That is unless cedar point is looking at this and think "well that's cute..."

Haha I can picture tony clark saying that

[ElectricUncleSam]

^Don't forget, if things stand true to the "leaked plans", it will also feature a "Worlds First". World's first Vertical Loop on a Dive Coaster. And wouldn't longest drop on a Dive Coaster count as a record too?

 

Anyway, exciting times ahead. Tis the season!

Speaking of which, am I the only one who's laughing because loops have been on diving machines on RCT for YEARS? I mean, RCT2 was in development when loops first started on wooden coasters, so they put them in everything.

[JonnyRCT3]

^Zero G Rolls have been present on Arrow Looper too. Could you imagine....

[Coastin Eric]

It will be interesting to see how they pull off a vertical loop with such wide trains

 

Where did this rumor of a vertical loop come from?

[SFOGdude25]

Someone confirm this, because I'm not sure. Is celebration plaza the luminosity stage?

My thought exactly.

Yessir.

^Cool, thanks man!

Golden Horse (thé Chinese Arrow Knockoff Co.) put one on a knockoff Vekoma SLC.

Ok guys so a guy called coasterfeed on Instagram has pictures of a layout and logo for valravn which look pretty legit. He said that someone leaked it on the app for the countdown. I was thinking that it could be another bat hoax like with KI. But I'm not sure, it does look awesome and real. This guy is convinced 100% that this is the real thing. Check it out for yourself.

[DrachenfireOP]

Yeah I saw that... looks pretty low resolution and low quality to be a legit rendering, but who knows. Usually B&M computer models are very fine 3d work, not crap 3d plastered over low quality Google Earth.

 

That said, I'd love a dive loop into a zero g roll on a dive machine!

Those pics are not real. Fake

[Nwstone]

The logo looks pretty real though

[Dom497]

No way that is real. Logo maybe, but the animation looks really fake.

[B&MIntaminGCI]

The animation looks like NL1 not even NL2. Also seems very short in height for what the actual track is showing.

 

Also CP models usually have everything around the ride in 3D, not Google Earth, so I'm not buying it.

[CpBluestreakCp]

Valravn leak? From what people are saying who watched it, this coaster features the vertical drop -> Immelmann -> MCBR -> Dive Loop -> Barrel Roll -> Airtime Hill.

 

And by the way, the reason it's such low quality is because it's from their new VR app. It's not an official animation I don't think.

I'm a programmer and also know Unity. So long as the Reddit user is telling the truth about the app being made in Unity, I believe this is real.

That logo! Even if it isn't real, that looks AMAZING!

[Dom497]

More evidence that this is real:

The "Cedar Point" banner is the same as the leaked logo.

[DoinItForTheFame]

^ ^ ^ ^ I'm join the "That's not real" group. Everything just looks so poorly done. Just look at power tower for example. It looks awful, and I'm not just talking about the image quality. The ride itself looks poorly made. Cedar Point would do better than that.

 

So IMO... Not real.
