Any predictions on the new Wing-Coasters name?

I like the name flight deck, I also like Gatekeeper. I honestly like all the ride names Cedar Fair has chosen up to this point.

Back Lot Stunt Coaster?

I'm ok with Backlot Stunt Coaster. I actually think that's a pretty good name.

I think it's alright too. I think it's appropriete for that ride in particular, but if they tried naming a coaster Like Millenium Force that, then I wouldn't be so happy with it.

The scary looking 'Banshee' eyes clue would make sense with "GateKeeper" though.. The name to me comes off as creepy, and those are creepy eyes.

I think the point behind the Banshee eyes was to tie them with the "False Clues" point...meaning, don't jump to conclusions and just assume you have figured it out yet.

This means one of two things:

1) They really were just having fun with the Banshee clue (which was pretty obvious to CP nerds everywhere)...and it was just fun, and nothing more.

or

2) They honestly did not think anyone would figure it out that quick, and now they are trying to cover their tracks before the August announcement.

Personally, I am much more interested in the specific details...layout, elements, etc.

Well Dick did say that there would be an announcement at this years Coastermania and there was so the planned removal of DT and SS atleast goes back to Coastermania last year.

You really need to let go of that. Dick couldn't predict the future, let alone what his successor would do.

Let go of what? It's a fact. He said there would be a special announcement at this years Coastermania so it was known then that DT and SS would be removed.

Yea but what if the "announcement" we got wasn't what he had in mind? They don't need to bow to his wishes so they (CP officials) could have changed their mind about how they wanted to go about the announcement(s). That's not to say that they didn't already know what they were doing.....just that it doesn't necessarily correlate with what Dick said last year.

I can tell you that roller coasters are not done here at Cedar Point. In fact, next year at this time, John will have a surprise for you. (laughs)

To go from that and end up with "there's going to be an announcement at CoasterMania 2012" was a huge leap.

Also, Maverick was never labeled a family coaster and Dick Kinzel didn't "go out with a bang." :)

Dick Kinzel didn't "go out with a bang." :)

You don't know that.

For all we know "Q"s lawyer could have said "BANG" as he filed the lawsuit with the court clerk.

I like the name Superstition actually. Paint it black and purple, CP needs a ride with a different color scheme such as that. Something mysterious that goes with the name like superstition.

No orange, red, yellow, or pumpkin colors please. WT, Iron dragon, TTD, Maverick, Magnum, Maxair, Giant wheel, witches wheel, windseeker, and Mantis all have at least one of those colors on them. :)

I like the name superstition too. I think it needs to be purple track, with blue supports. I tried looking for one that was that color but I couldnt. Cp doesn't have a purple coaster yet. And please NO MORE RED. I swear they make every new ride red. Ttd, magnum, maverick, wind seeker, iron dragon, mantis, theyre all red. No more red. I would say make it green but raptor is right there,

It's obviously going to be called Flight of the Dragster, and have lots of beautiful red track.

Honestly I'm crossing my fingers for Phantom, and all-black track. :)

I think that the coaster will be named Banshee because of what they posted on OnPoint. It should be purple because purple is a color lacking from CP.

I think the name will be Banshee too but I highly doubt it'll have any dark colors. It could be purple but it'll be a pig purple. I just don't see them putting a dark coaster right at the front gate like that. You want it to be bright and inviting.

Isn't there a high chance those white tracks someone posted earlier are for CP's wing coaster?

I wouldn't say it's a high chance. B&M usually builds around 5 coasters a year and one will be green so there's a 25% it's for Cedar Point.

^Check your math :). (1/5= %20)

I was saying that we already know one is green so there's only four more unknown so that would be a 25% one is ours :)

I'm afraid I'm unable to comment intelligently in regards to "pig purple." I'm unfamiliar with this color.

Haha I'm unfamiliar with that color too :), I meant light purple.

If its going over the front gate, maybe it will be the Cedar Point colors. A combination of CP's logo colors would look cool.
