Cedar Fair New Trademark

Intamin's legacy is obvious, starting with MF, followed by WT, Dragster and Maverick, and of course being capped off with STR.

Fixed that for ya....:)

Senior moment.

Get off my lawn!

:)

Whats wrong with Dragster :(

Frankly, I'm okay if the Intamin run has run its course, which all evidence points to that it has. Unless Intamin came up with something very good and new, I think that the park already has the "full" Intamin package. Same goes for Arrow back in the day. Now it's B&M's real turn to make a statement. If CP did get the dive coaster, the title of " Best B&M Lineup" would still be debatable seeing as their hyper coasters are often considered their best design. However, it would definitely be one of the most unique B&M lineups, especially since they would have four while none of which would be a hyper-coaster.

Everyone thought so highly of Holiday World's Intamin water ride that they couldn't even sell it, until they sold it for scrap.

It's fairly easy to forget about with it's centralized location and massive tower.

I'm a little surprised how much land they cleared already. If this is a dive machine, any guesses as to where the station, lift and drop will be? How many inversions will it have? I can see the station being somewhere right around where Dodgem was facing Rougarou and the drop coming back facing Raptor, maybe an Immelman or two, a little airtime hill. Do you think it would have a splash pool? I wonder if it will go underground after the drop.

Well we know that it would have 4 inversions. There is nothing that we can speculate in terms of a layout until we see footers popping up in july or august.

Cedar Point GCI, why did you quote the post immediately above you? You just cost Jeff a bundle of money.

He probably did not know.

Bundle of money, please. I'm all for the respect of not being forced to read the wall of text I just read in the note above from a politeness standpoint (i.e. just use the ^), but the claim that there's some meaningful cost attributed to people loading up some text here and there is just not true.

How many bundles of money does it cost to point out to someone else that they have cost someone a bundle of money?

You just had to ask me to edit it.

I would guess there is a good chance for splashdown pool. Most existing Dive Machines have one, and Cedar Point doesn't have another coaster that has one.

The stats listed in the Sandusky Register article were quite detailed, which leads me to believe that if this dive coaster happens, then it will be fairly close to that description. The article said nothing about a splash-down. I too would say that a coaster with a splash-down is something that Cedar Point should invest in, since it is something that they don't have and it does look quite cool. This location would be a prime place to put one.

^ I agree. Splash-downs look pretty sweet, and that spot would be perfect.

What about theming? What possible theming could they use with VALRAVN (val-rawn)? Tombstones like Banshee? It is "Raven of the slain". A castle like station. Knight armor. An old Danish looking station maybe.

A pole barn with white globe lights?

or maybe a giant statue of a Valravn eating a child's heart right out of their chest.

Or maybe just a giant Valravn statue without all the gore (;

^ I was kidding about the gore. A giant statue would be cool, but let's not forget what we're dealing with here, and what it's capable of.
