A fun ride CP should consider adding.

A ride similar to the Avatar at kings Island. The ride is a lot of fun and something familes could ride together and it doesn't take up that much space.

Looks like it would be a fun ride.

I think Cedar Fair is going to try to keep the three ohio parks quite diverse in order to keep steady business for each individual park. I don't see many duplicate rides for CP and KI in the future.

Yeah, lets pray REAL hard they don't take the Six Flags route and start buying clones and making all their parks the same. I'd love to take a Cedar Fair summer tour one year and hit up all the different parks.

I think I would prefer a Fly Swatter to one of those.
Flying towards the ground while upside down would be a new sensation. (For CP)

Anyone ridden one and what did they think?

I'm sure the capacity isn't all that great to be at CP. PKI got away with it by making more of a kids ride. CP needs rides that can pull through a lot of people per hour. Skyhawk is actually pushing it.

If they ever made a ride like that it would have a smaller crowd than the bathrooms!

I believe Avator is popular at PKI. I just don't see that coming to CP.

How is it popular?

I agree with Headrush, the Sky Swatter would be a great addition to the park.

The Top scan would be fun too.

And Huss makes a cool ride called Topple Tower.

Avatar is a fun ride and would make a nice addition to CP. It is very popular at KI.

If it came to CP it would have to have a different theme and name and if it came it would have a snoopy head in the middle, but it is not coming.

Even though Huss has gone bankrupt, I'd love to see pne of their Giant Top Spin. It'd be the first one built outdoors. They're totally ginormous compared to the normnal top spins...three to five times the scale if I'm not mistaken. Definitely be a great addition for the park, with great capacity too!

Avatar was a surprisingly fun ride despite the fact that PKI did put it in their kids section. However, I can confirm that the capacity is horrible on this ride. The line (while longer than lines for other kid rides) was not very long and it took at least 20 minutes to get on. The line moves VERY slowly.

I agree that Skyhawk is pushing it. I don't want to see something with a smaller capacity than that. While its a great ride, its not one I think you should have to wait 45 minutes for.

Count me in! I've always wanted to do that. I've even talked to my best friend about us doing it after we graduate high school. Take a year off and travel and hit up all the different parks. That would be a good time...but it would take a lot of money. A LOT of money.

I was able to ride swat at Astro World when it was open and wow! That ride was awesome and the sensation of the ride was amazing. It is a definate need for CP.

Yes Bodes it would take a lot of mony to tour all the parks, especially with the addition of Paramount facilities.

and..

MaxAir>Skyhawk

Thats a nice name but I think MaxAir is less than. :P

I don't tend ot ride flat rides. I live 180 miles away in Pennsylvania so when I go to CP, I have to budget my time. I want roller coasters. For me it's a waste of time waiting in line for flat rides.

Regards to what CP should add...I agree that adding something like Top Scan(Shockwave from were I go - paramount canadas wonderland) would be a good addition to some of the already great flat rides CP has. With Shockwave there are different programs so each day or week depending how they program it is a surprise each time.
