Cedar Point Discovery channel

Does anyone remember the show "Worlds Largest Theme Park" on the Discovery Channel? Well I was watching it again and noticed something funny and interesting during the segment when Rob Decker is talking about future planning and design. For a quick second the flash what seems to be a layout for a ride layout that is not yet at Cedar Point. It seems to be a layout for a flying coaster or B&M inverter. I know Cedar Point has Raptor but could this be another layout that the decided not to use? Could it be the flying coaster that is rumored to be installed in the future?

It is just odd that they would show this. If anyone has has seen this or has the video to look for it let me know. It is right before they talk about park signs and halloweekend facades.

No I'm not. If you have the video, watch that part. It was real quick. I didn't notice it until the 4th time I watched it. I had to pause it a few times to check it out. I'll look again to make sure.

It's NOT a new ride.. Trust me on this one ..

I've watched the video over 75 times *obsessed* and I guarantee there is no such thing! That movie was made in 2001, I think Rob would be a little busy planning Wicked Twister and Dragster!

I can swear that there is a split second spot where they show a layout of a ride that is not currently at Cedar Point. It is right between the part when the camera is fighting over the plans with Rob Decker then the next scene when the show where they make all the signs.

I think what he is talking about is a quick shot of what looks like a drawing of Raptor, or at least thats what I thought it was when I first saw it. I slowed the tape down and it does look like an inverted coaster but not Raptor. Its just a drawing of a coaster, no station, landscape, or other objects. Its nothing to get excited about. Im sure P&D comes up with hundreds of designs that are just ideas and nothing more.

haha. Oh god this thread amused me. It's ok (insert username that they were calling crazy) they bash me all the time... well... it's usually only after I bash them, but STILL! :P

I never said that this was the layout of a ride that will be installed. I was simply asking if it could possibly be another possible inverter layout instead of Raptor or a possible layout for a flyer.

None of us know any better than you do, so we really couldnt tell ya, sorry.

is there going to be another special about cp

I'll watch it and see what comes up. I have a video capture card too so I'll see if I can get a few pics. Am I allowed to post them here?

I cannot find it on the tape, I've watched it again just now and can't even find where they talk about HalloWeekends!

I'd guess no because neither you or Jeff own the copyrights to the show material.
