Announcement

I didnt see it on RCDB

That's because it was removed...

Am i just blind, or can any one else see where it says the date of the announcement will be September 7th?

Edit: I didn't see that there was a page 2 to this thread before I responded lol.

We better get a press conference after all this...

I mentioned awhile back, my first post, that my brother lived across the street from an operations manager at CP. My brother asked him when the announcement was going to be and he said after Labor Day. My brother did not ask him what it was going to be because he knew he wouldn't say anything.

By the way, no one wanted to believe me back then either, but we shall see.

I just got an email back from Duane, I eamlied him asking how he knew and this is what he said

That information was a posting error. Just ignore it.

If it was a posting error, how come he post it?

I was kind of thinking they would kind of post it the Friday before Labor Day (before the weekend), or on Labor Day.

I probably had it before everyone who has it now.

Do you want a cookie?

LOL, yeah seriously, not trying to be mean but who cares if you had it first.

I'm almost thinking that somehow CP saw this on RCDB and "silenced" them. It is just very odd to me how typing a date onto the website for the announcement was just a "posting error". Still I wouldn't mind if the date came sooner!;)

Duane's sittin' in his chair saying to himself....Oh crap what the hell did I do?

the announcement will be made late August..

Busch Gardens Europe makes the official announcement for their 205 foot B&M Dive Machine tomorrow (the 23rd). They claim it will be like nothing else in the world. The park's site has the teaser animation. Here's a link if anyone cares to check it out who hasn't seen it yet.

I think Augest 31. Why you may or may not ask, well, that is the last day in Augest and most people take Friday off to take a long Labor Day weekend.

No, not likely. Are you part of MS's tech beta tester program? There are several groups who test these products before beta builds are even released in a limited fashion to the public.

I am in contact with Duane off and on, and it indeed was a posting error. Cedar Point didn't silence him, and he has no "inside information" or "special priveleges." It was simply a posting error, and no more. So, Sept. 7 isn't the announcement date unless by some miracle Duane had the announcement date for another ride and CP happens to announce it that day as well.

I hope it's either August 30 or 31, because we will be in the park both days. We just happened to be there for SkyHawk's announcement last season, so I hope we make it 2 in a row. :)
