Cedar Point 2012

I just took a Six Flags survey that was all about new ride names.

Would these supports be light blue, and are near a wooden coaster (not Mean Streak) in the town of Kisses and Reese's?

I know I know... Why couldn't it be CP though!!! UGHHHH!

Okay, I'm about to get bashed for this, but does CP truely need another coaster in 2012. I'm with alot of the old-timers opinions on this site that CP needs more family attractions. And no, not the kind that are 300 ft. high or you get wet on.

It's totally Mean Streak! Haven't you seen the pictures!? Here's the proof!

^^They most certainly do not. In fact, I don't think they actually NEED a new ride fir the next 1-2 years. What are we at now? 77 rides? That's plenty.

Cedar point would be able to go quite some time without building a new roller coaster. I would say that they would be able to hold off for at least three more years on a roller coaster.

But its a tradition to have a new ride build every year. It also does bring in a bit of a new crowd with a new ride.

Personally, i am hoping for a roller coaster because i am an enthusiast and i always will be.

If cedar point does add a new coaster next year, i hope they are able to do it without removing a ton of trees.

All those Hershey fans are getting worked up for nothing I guess, because that is Totally Mean Streak (tm) ;)

Adam you better watch, this may be a rumor on screamscape tomorrow :)

While I was at the park yesterday I went throuhg FT looking for some more marking and such. I did not find any new ones. I also looked over around the Turnpike cars and found nothing. I didn't expect to see anything there.

I was thinking though. It doesn't seem like there is a lot of room in the actual park for a new coaster without having to do some massive clearing of trees or another ride.

I agree with SSL. And has anyone heard who the rumor came from? All screamscape says is "sources". They could be just messing with us.

I have not heard where the rumors came from. My best guess would be that either screamscape made them up or that some random person may have told screamscape something.

even if cedar point cleared the turnpike car area, a new coaster would look very crammed with blue streak and raptor right by.

if they want to make that area more popular, they should put in a thrill ride about the size of Skyhawk or max air.

Calypso could be moved elsewhere. And right there is where you would be able to fit something.

Screamscape rarely names it's sources. Sources, legitimate or not, don't usually want to be named. Naming them would probably keep them from providing future information and could also get them in a heap of trouble. Especially if they are legitimate sources.

I don't know why everyone goes to Screamscape for rumors. The website is great for updates and current news, but it feels like I am reading the National Enquirer for roller coasters when looking at all the outrageous rumors. Does anyone remember the GCI coaster CP was supposed to get according to Screamscape? ;)

^You bring up a very good point.

Has anyone else noticed that the TTD webcam is pointed towards the construction site of the new world record breaking coaster for 2012?!?! Go check it out!!! CP is probably just teasing us or they positioned it there so we can watch the Wildcat crash again...

Oh my! I live 2 minutes from Hersheypark, so does that mean I now live two minutes from Cedar Point because I took pictures of these supports?

I think a new coaster will be great. I was at CoasterMania2011! and there was a hint by Dick Kinzel that they were going to announce a new coaster for Cedar Point in 2012. I do not know if that means for the 2012 season or the 2013 season.

And THAT'S A CLUE!! The new ride is named Wildcat: Crash Course!!!!1!!~

What Dick said was that at this time next year John H would be making a big announcement. So, I would take that to mean it would be for the 2013 season.

Sooo we are getting a coaster in 2013??

I didn't say that.

No, but it's a pretty safe bet that sometime over the next 2-3 years a new coaster will be installed. I don't think that's stretching anyone's degree of rationality.

Dick really said that? If that's the case, I think that would mean 2013.
