Disney Dood Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Judging by the thing that looks like a train towards the top of the lift, it looks more like a Flyer. But doesn't the park already have a Flyer?
Airtime&Gravity Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 ^Just a Zamperla cage of death I'm guessing that the image is just to promote the ride, and I think that the ride will be a standard sit down hyper as the park has nearly every other coaster type.
kraken613 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 It would be awsome to get a B&M invert! Or an has any one thought of an Intamin invert like the ones in Europe.
coasterdude5 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I'm going with a hyper on this one, but it might end up being an invert... who knows.
asr Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Although my bets are still on a Hyper, I don't think that we should trust these animations. It seems like Cedar Fair is playing games with us to me... EDIT: Reading posts on CWMania, someone remarked that it looks like Patriot. Compare these two pictures; http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1206101298&size=o http://www.rcdb.com/ig3244.htm?picture=9 They are identical, the train is even in the same position.
Axman Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Becuase these pictures are the same, the teaser may or may not have anything to do with how the ride is actually going to turn out.
RollerC Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 It would be awsome to get a B&M invert! Or an has any one thought of an Intamin invert like the ones in Europe.They already have an invert.
niiicolaaah Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 I doubt it. The picture has little to nothing to do with the actual ride. For example, think about TV commercials. When Darien Lake was flagged, I remember seeing Viper at SFMM being billed as S:Ros. They're just telling you it's a coaster, not that it's a B&M whatever.
christianscoasters Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 ^Why can't they just film their own rides instead of being lazy and taking some ride halfway across the country saying that this is this or that is that. I think the worst example was when SFMM used SFOG's Ninja and called it their Ninja. I may have accidently flip-flopped the coasters, but you get the point.
kraken613 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 SFOG used SFMM Goliath insted of there own.It dosnt bother most people but it shows how lazy they are.
EvoLee Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I personally believe it's a B&M hyper like the one Universal Japan just got except you'll have to pick your songs from Nickelback, Celine Dion, Alanis Morrisette, or Bryan Adams. As you crest the first airtime hill you can stretch your arms apart and scream "I'm the king of the world!" or You can ask yourself if it's "Ironic" that Canada built a clone of Goliath or ....er, uh, nevermind. I would prefer some Matthew Good Band, though.
asr Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Remember, Six Flags is in 2 billion dollars of debt, so why waste precious time and money to film/photograph a ride?
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 ^ Yeah, and the general, non-enthusiast, public don't give a damn, we're the only ones who do. Why waste a lot of time, money, and energy to film a new ride when the majority of people won't care anyway.
Canadmos Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Its also pretty hard to film a roller coaster that isn't built yet.
FeelTheFORCE Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 ^ We're talking about like 3D animations and whatnot.
christianscoasters Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 ^What I'm talking about, is that a certain place will have a ride, and halfway across the world, there is the same ride, so they use a photo of it instead of taking their own. Laziness... Like for Tatsu, they used S:UF in some commercial I saw on YouTube. Thing is, they don't have any other B&M flyers except for Air and that Crystal Wings ride. So I understand. But here, using a 3-D rendition of an inverted coaster in Missouri? When they already have a real one? At Canada's Wonderland? It makes no sense?!?!

Swoosh Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=1205239259&size=o That profile is PATRIOT, FYI.
asr Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Try setting your computers clock forward to August 27th and then go to the Canada's Wonderland website, and you will see how the animation ends. EDIT: What the?... Set your clocks ahead to past 7:00 AM August 27th, and then go to this URL: http://www2.cedarfair.com/canadaswonderland/ You get a completly different coaster, that appears to be a sit-down looper or floorless of some sort... EDIT AGAIN: Actually, set your clock ahead and go to any of the 3 URLs for the CW website, it seems that they have changed the animation again.
Disney Dood Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 What if they built a Flyer, Hyper and Sitdown/Floorless all in the same year? Ever think of that?
asr Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 No way. They already have a flyer, and building all three like that would run them up to $60 million dollars. Plus, they would get just as many visitors if they just built one ride. It makes much more sense to stretch expansions out over a few years instead of building three world class coasters in one year. Even when Six Flags built multiple coasters in a year, they didn't do something that crazy.
