vacoaster09 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Ok then axe the stealth name idea... I didn't suggest it to commemorate a younger coaster moreso to reuse the name that the park once had.... frankly i just liked the name and think it goes with the fighter jet theme. I didn't think the coaster was built on the movie trademark since it was built before the movie and never had any movie theme to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that Stealth's name would work well for Flight Deck...but I also agree that it would be a better fit for a B&M Wingrider should the park ever get one.

You know, that name actually isn't that bad I know, but my gripe with the name "Stealth Hawk" is that Cedar Fair overuses the word "hawk" in ride names!

DarienLaker Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 "Stealth Hawk!" I originally intended the idea for California's Great America to rename Flight Deck as "Stealth Hawk" to be kind of a joke, but now I think that CGA should rename Flight Deck to one of the names that I listed and yes some of the suggested names will contain the words "hawk" or "stealth"! ."Stealth Phoenix" ."Redhawk" ."Stealth Bat" ."Stealth Beast" ."Storm Hawk" ."Stealth Flight" ."Stealth Dragon" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willthegolfer Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 ^Yes, that video is most definitely Gurnee Great America, Whizzer is clearly visible, and Tidal Wave in Batman's current location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flagg O'Dim Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 From the map, it appears Picnic Pavilion is getting a fancy new entrance from the parking lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geauga Dog Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I also liked the Citigraph maps the best but this isn't too bad for a CF map. I actually kinda like these newer maps as they are easier to look at and bit more realistic for a CF map than the older ones. They also changed the alignment by centering the entrance at the bottom.

singemfrc Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Opening day is here!! I'm going tomorrow and was hoping it wouldn't be too busy but as there are rain and thunderstorms forecast for today, it might cause a lot of people to delay until tomorrow and make Sunday a busy day.
