Ummm....have you been on Leviathan? That is probably the loudest B&M coaster ever. Just the sound of the lift moving hurts your ears. Whenever I try to have a conversation with my friends in the queue, we have to wait until the train finishes going up the lift because we can't hear each other.

Which is not what he's talking about. Newer B&M's are sand filled, so they are dead silent, especially compared to the classic B&M "roar".

And the rollbacks being loud won't matter as the lift is nowhere near the front gate.

Yes - X-Flight is quite silent indeed.

The quietness has nothing to do with when the ride opened... The whole sand-filled support issue is like a dealer-add-on. A new B&M cause be as loud as Raptor or as quiet as Silver Bullet depending if the park spends the additional money to add the sand to the supports.

My guess is CP will do the sand option, though. Especially over the main gate. Anywhere else they probably wouldn't.

At least it won't be Mantis/Raptor loud!

Chuck Wagon, Robin left the company after last season, so I think he's safe.

That would certainly be true, hehe. Although when I googled it, there is some debate over whether he left or was let go.

So the new ride is called Delirium?

I don't hate the name, I just hate that they have once again recylcled a name, especially since Delirium at KI is a flat.

Where did you get Delirium from? I am pretty sure it is Gatekeeper after seeing a million leaked pics online and videos on Youtube

^the new ride is Gatekeeper

I find it ironic that Robin Innes is now PR director of "Cedar Point Communications" (a telecom company).

Alright, who gave FOX the animations? http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/story/19261836/cedar-point-to-announce-...ller-coast

I guess this means if I ever need a photo for a story, I can just take it from myFOXDetroit.com.

I'm going to guess that it is kyle shied, someone on this website, because if click on the link and go to the DT ariel demolition photo, the picture has Kyle Sheid/pontbuzz.com

Because I'm pretty sure they aren't just allowed to take anyones photos. Wouldn't they need permission?

But that's exactly what they did here. They took that photo without his permission.

Yes they would. Where are you kyle?

But they kept the copyright tag on it. That makes it ok.

I counted 8 inversions! Unless that isn't a barrel roll after the break run, which would make it 7.

Huh?

1 - Dive loop
2 - Huge corkscrew
3 - Twist #1
4 - Overbank-inversion thingy
5 - Twist #2

As far as I can tell, there are no inversion beyond the MCBR.

I think you are missing the inverted drop off the lift, making the count 6. But yeah, no inversion after the MCBR. Not sure what people were seeing there.

1-Dive Drop
2-Immelman
3-Huge Corkscrew
4-Twist 1
5-Overbank Dive Loop Inversion (if it counts)
6-Twist Two

There is some sort of roll that isn't attached to any part of track seen presently after the brake run. If you follow the course, its not attached....so unless it's just floating in mid air, something attaches to it.

That would end up making 7 if there is one. Other than that I count 6. You forgot the Immelman Dj.

Correcting myself after I studied it more...

1. Dive Loop

2. Immelmann

3. Oversized Corkscrew

4.Zero G Roll (Double Keyhole)

5. Dive Loop

6. Zero G Roll

7. Flat Spin (after brake run)
