Announcement

There should be a POV of the ride that shows the entire thing, as well as a promo version and a press conference video.

Do they say the time they're going to announce it, or do they hold a press Q&A?

I'm hoping for a video.

JuggaLo,

I guess that's part of the tease factor. (I thought about that after I posted that reply about them showing more).

I'm hoping for a video on this one as well. It looks like it's going to be a wild ride.

I watched the Dragster promo video again a few days ago. Man, just think of how ingnorant we all were back in January 2003, to what would transpire with that ride over the next three seasons. It was almost saddening...how awesome it looked...how great it was supposed to run. Finally, this year they got it right for the most part!

Hopefully 2007 will be different :)

Okay, thank you.

I'll try the Busch Gardens, Europe one.

Halltd: King's Island really did that???

When PKI announced Tomb Raider all they said was that it was a "totally immersive thrill ride." End of press conference. And everybody went nuts with conspiracy theories about it being an S&S ThrustAir, dark ride, etc., and everybody with common sense already knew it was a themed Huss Giant Topspin, but nobody would believe it, "PKI wouldn't make such a big secret about a topspin!11!!one!!!"

I will be excited to see the POV video. If I know CP correctly, I don't think they will deprive us of details on this coaster.

Somehow I doubt CP will announce anything that exciting. What better way to build crazy hype than telling the media, "This is a new coaster for 2007 called Maverick, the ride will be ground breaking in design, more details to follow..." I mean everyone would suddenly be very interested in the ride. This also supports the idea that this construction site will expand, I mean why else announce a ride, excpet if you are almost done, or as I am still hoping, just to spark interest and the ride is only partially completed.

Something tells me that the construction site will not expand.

I beleive that the artwork could be true.

I do not think if thats all the ride is going to be and the height is just a little over 100 feet, they is no way it would cost 21 mill.

I believe that artwork was from screamscape.

jeff j -
If you're basing that assumption on the "artwork", keep in mind that the cost of steel is much higher than it was just a few years ago, and (again, according to the "artwork") there are two launches, and a considerable amount of theming.

Did anyone see that Holiday World's announcement for 2007 is the day before CPs? I know they're not announcing a roller coaster, but its still interesting they're so close.

What exactly is HW annoncing?

Ask screamscape. The Oracle.

I can't wait till the 7th. I wonder if that was even real or not.

um, well, you could be right...except, um, cedarpoint.com. which isn't fake, has something on their main page, also not fake, that the secret's out next thursday...a statement that also...is not fake.

so to wonder if its real is to wonder whether the official cedar point website is not real...
