Any word or thought on a ride for 2006???

When is the latest actual construction can begin on a rollercoaster of this sort for it to be open in time for next year?

Usually around late september....usually. It could happen anytime......even now.;)

It really depends on the type coaster, landscape, etc. If anything we would/should see the track arrive around the same time as the major landscaping begins.

I like the idea of interlocking corkscrews or even loops like orient express had. But I'd like to see them placed strategicly so that you'd get coasters going through both loops/corkscrews at the same time. I realize there are a lot of variables, not the least of which is the human variable, but if placed properly, it might happen once in a while.

Not to get off subject, but does anyone know if the orient got sold to anyone or relocated to one of the other CF parks?

Those markings could very well be there for a huge and earth shaking project for next year. Could it be plumbing and electrical for major restroom improvements in the old Frontier Lift building? :)

Grab a drink and get in your boat, Pete. All signs Point to something going in back there.

I don't know if this means anything to anyone; I thought they had simply moved the Swan Boats to Michigan's Adventure. This could explain something, but, when they moved the bumper cars to MiAdv, they started work on TTD almost immediately, didin't they?

Although CP claims they never had a "theme" until they built TTD...HMMMM...

As mentioned earlier, something was slated to go back there last year and maXair showed up instead.

Something is coming.

And I'd bet my left something that CP is gonna use they're new Blog thingy to promote it.

Just to clear everything up for everyone, here's the color codes for construction markings....

All owners of underground facilities (lines, cable, pipe, etc.) must use the following color code when marking their facilities:

* Red - electric power lines, cables, conduit & lighting cables
* Yellow - gas, oil, steam, petroleum & gaseous materials
* Orange - communications, alarm, cable TV, signal lines, cables & conduit
* Blue - potable water
* Green - sewers & drain lines
* Purple - reclaimed water, irrigation & slurry lines
* Pink - temporary survey markers
* White - proposed excavation

A monorail is a good idea. If its going in the front of the park then we might see stuff in the parking lot like maXair. If its going in the back we will see it by Mean Streak like TTD. If we are lucky we will be able to tell what kind of coaster it is.

Cedar Point's 2006 shopping list:

-1 Giant Top Spin

-1 Multi-looping 200'+ B&M Floorless

-1 Bigger and Better than anything in the world B&M Flyer

-1 B&M Dive Maching (including some plan to make a tunnel without water leakage problems)

--subtotal: $75 million

i doubt they would get all that in 06 i think it would be 07 before they get another coaster

I'm sorry if my sarcasm wasn't obvious enough.

So white box=big hole. Orange Lines=telephone lines, agreed?

I agree with you MrScott. That OnPoint is our ticket to the new ride.

We're on to them.....;)

I don't know...those orange lines could be for the huge cable TV's coming to the hip new sports bar they are building under Cedar Creek Mine Ride. I mean it fits the theme and everything!

The only thing I can gather is an expansion of CCMR's queue. Since, you know, it grows so long in these peak summer months. Now that they've taken it down to the bare minimal amount of trains, the line moves slower so they are taking some TVs from King's Island ride queues and putting them in.

That's my best guess, tbqh.

I really don't think those markings are much to be excited about. CP could just be improving the infrastructure in Frontiertown, something as mundane as putting new data lines in so more food stands can accept credit cards.

If I'm wrong, be sure to save this post so you can rub it in my face, but I think most of you are reading way to much into those markings.

Pete, I have to agree, but hey you never know. :}

All right, for some reason, people on another site are treating a rumour of a Screamin' Swing for 2006 as real... Can someone (de)confirm this?

Confirm or deny, it doesn't matter. CF is going to follow their business plan, regardless of what is said here.

Just keep guessing, I guess.
