And WT only cost $9 million, which puts it in the "thrill ride" realm, as opposed to coasters, which often cost significantly more.

Wicked Twister is the tallest and fastest inverted coaster in the world. ;)

Regardless, companies design for the terrain and area. They don't just say "Here is a ride, find a place to fit it and we will sell it to you."

Your mom is to fat to ride TTD. said:

I know if somebody asked GG to do a compact coaster they could, but with Cedar Fair installing Prowler (a GCI) I can't see them randomly going GG.

As I said, GG would make any coaster CP would ask for.

I would love to see a B&M floorless coaster there. I think it would be a good fit there.

I think any ride company would make a ride for any amusement park as long as their was funding. Now to make ride the runs right and is safe thats another story. Hmm I wonder what TOGO and Knott's think about that?

It's not another clue, its about the saftey article posted today.

I have to disagree on that. Tony and Tyler are getting their hints from within this thread. This new clue is from a comment earlier in the thread that someone said it had to do with Nascar and would be announced when Jeff Gordon was there on the 13th.

Just my opinion.

Lets start talking about a S&S Skyswat and see if they post a hint about it. ;)

I am wondering...I was reading on Screamscape about GCI testing a new type of train on non GCI track along as the wood is prepared for them. Just a thought in the dark, but woukld this be something for CP to consider putting on the Mean Streak? And also would this maybe help the performance of the Mean Streak?

If it is true that they are going to announce it when Jeff Gordon is there........white lightning is a name for moonshine.............that is how nascar was started all the moonshine runners argued who had the faster car...so maybe it is themed around that.........just a thought

they also said that GCI might need to retrack the coaster if the trains dont work on the original track. I hope Cedar Point considers this in the next few years.

I wouldn't be too fond of a nascar themed coaster, but I suppose the actual ride is all that matters. Do you really think they would do that when they already have TTD?

would not have to be nascar themed ...just maybe about the days of moonshine running..........had to be fast to get away from the police

I doubt that would happen for no reason other than general morals. Running moonshine was not exactly a legal thing. Although I see your point. It is part and parcel of the sport.

How about little to no theming. Just a run of the mill attraction would do.

Well, the Cedar Fair parks likely appeal to the blue collar crowd and NASCAR is certainly a blue collar draw. It would be interesting if NASCAR and Cedar Fair were working on some type of partnership.

Meh.....

Nascar does nothing for mr eather.

A coaster based on..."moonshine running"? Are you serious?

I almost cried laughing so hard.

The whole "white lightning" motif fits for Carowinds... in an area dominated by NASCAR and racing....

As for Cedar Point... it really has no connection, and I'd be genuinely mad if something NASCAR themed was put into Frontiertown. I feel like it would ruin the area of it's theme.

In the great words of the late Mr. Scott...

"Water will be involved in this ride. ;)"

During prohibition there were people running speed boats from Canada smuggling booze in. Just an idea for a theme for a water ride.

ok not sure if they are just messing with us but take a look at the sponsors page on the latest blog and the "bottling company". It goes to i kidd you not a webpage with a moonshine bottle in the backround called whyte lightening
