andre8 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It is confirmed! I'm going to CGA this month on an event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
italianpnoy112 Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I sure hope this does not turn out like Geauga Lake. And, yeah, that "temporary" is probably just a code word for GOOD.  If they took out Invertigo, it would be another reason for me to not spend money to go to CGA.   Does anyone know if the ride will be back up by late October. I'm going to my last Key Club Fall Rally this year and I was hoping it would be open. It is one of my favorite rides there (Not that there are much anyway) .

Angry_Gumball Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 My guess is that it's probably down until next season. October's coming up quite fast...Would it even be worth it for them to rush getting it back up and running only to get a couple weeks use before going into it's rehab?

Tmcdllr Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Any news on the findings yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoryPa77 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 I have heard that Prowler was the originally the contract for CGA's coaster, they just switched it to WOF. I don't know if they'll do another contract in the future or not, just saying what I was told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Prowler's a completely different layout, not sure if that matters or not. Â So, any news with Invertigo? I haven't even been out to the park since a week after the Invertigo incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andre8 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 I went on Sunday and it was GREAT! I even got a charicature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Has Invertigo's "Dismantling" began as the news stated? Or was the dismantling the removing of the trains and accessing the chain area as I had noted/got photos of last month? Â And I'm still crossing my fingers for the woodie, but am starting to lean towards the idea that it was just truly a proposed idea that will not make it into the works...though that's a major way to boost attendance. I keep hearing mixed things about it that it's starting construction this fall (I wish) and stuff like the coaster's just a pipe dream, not happening. And every once in a while, I'll ride the star tower just to see if there's any changes/land clearing going on for the coaster but it all looks the same. Â Anyone else have any word/thought on this?

Tmcdllr Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 By now they should have removed all the parts from Invertigo that were to be sent for testing and not dismantling anything else. If the new woodie falls through, I hope another coaster would be put in, they REALLY need one. An Intamin Mega Lite would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre8 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 ^I don't think one will fit in Invertigo's space though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KGA29 Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 ^I don't think one will fit in Invertigo's space though. Â I don't think he meant replacing Invertigo. I don't think Invertigo is going anywhere. But there is space where the woodie was supposed to go. Behind Xtreme Skyflyer and Whitewater Falls.

speedracer Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 ^ Or they could just plop a Zac Spin or El Loco on the opposite side of the park for craps sake! There are always other options and workarounds for any obstacle, just don't expect any from CF (just like with Paramount). Cause then CF wouldn't have any excuses anymore for adding any significant hardware to a park they would rather just unload than invest in. Like I said when CF very first prematurely announced an un-approved new woodie with no prior approvals whatsoever to actually build it, was nothing more than a ploy to jack up the asking price of a park they had just barely put up for sale.

Tmcdllr Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Right, that's what I meant, Invertigo is not going anywhere. If/when they want to FINALLY add a new coaster they will find a way to fit it in, parks do it all the time. Even if it was put in another location although that would not make sense if there is room where this woodie is 'supposed' to go. Btw, any further news about CF suing the 49ers for "not disclosing information"? And what is new for 2010? Even if it's a used coaster it's better than no coaster but CGA deserves more. 10 years is WAY too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I haven't heard anything other than how Cedar Fair is planning to sue. I'm sure we're all on the same page with that situation. Â Yes, coaster is a must if they want that park to survive. Bring a coaster in, attendance will skyrocket, I can guarantee. Honestly, I wouldn't even mind if they squeezed something in like Steel Hawg. And yes, they can cram coasters in a variety of spots. Vortex's spot (without the coaster) doesn't even look possible to put in a coaster but they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre8 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I wonder if it would be possible to build a Desert Race style Intamin Accelerator spread around the park. Â It could fly over and under different coasters, soar over paths, and probably have airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkz Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 6 more days until HAUNT.. Â Anyone else going? you should swing by Underworld Alley, I'm one of their sliders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmcdllr Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 A giant coaster that went all around the park and intertwined with other coasters would be sweet and they could do it! Or even an Intamin impulse coaster (Vertical Velocity) should easily fit in Tidal Wave's old spot but hmmm, where would the station go? Or even one over/around Logger's Run or over/thru Demon and Grizzly. See, lot's of room, they just need to DO IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 There's a bit of land between the Rapids and Boomerang Bay, though it's kind of 'swampy.' A spinning coaster, or one of those "Steel Hawg"-like coasters could be incorporated right there. Not sure if they need another compact/family coaster as they already have Psycho Mouse and Runaway Reptar or whatever it's going to be renamed now.

Tmcdllr Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 That's true. They could also build a large coaster that goes half over the small lake or even a Farenheit clone with a taller drop in the spot where the woodie is supposed to go, or actually, anywhere else. If they got rid of Whitewater Falls that would free up more room. They don't really need that ride anyway. Just looked at a satellite photo and there is a lot of land between WWF and the Pictorium- where Whizzer once stood, get rid of the Pictorium and there's even more. And I see what you are talking about, there's a good chunk of space that Rip Roaring Rapids goes around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre8 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I think I Zamperla family launched will fit right next to County Fair Picnic Grove and the Grizzly. The queue could start right next to the Grizzly's entrance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanic Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 ^ Yes, I'm sure it would fit, but does the world really need another Pony Express? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tmcdllr Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I think if CF wanted to unload this park they wouldn't be going after the 49ers. They were also fighting the stadium deal because they said they had future expansion plans for the park. Why would they say that if they were going to sell? With no stadium they could expand into the main lot easily and still have plenty of parking. I don't buy this 'unload the park' thing and I don't want the stadium either, it's just not a good thing.
