Welcome back Magnum riders how was your ride?

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?"
OK Imagine this a ride much like demon drop but instead of those kind of cars you enter a car much like those on Superman the Escape. You are then pulled backwards up to the top of the track where you are realeased to travel the same path you just went up and then through the staition and then unlike Demon Drop you go back up at more then a 90 degree angle meaning you are basically upside down. You then rock back and forth a little bit until you are braked to a stop. That is an Arrow Fishook.

Welcome back Magnum riders how was your ride?
1) I'm insane for reading all of it.
2) No one really has any clue what they're talking about.
After having watched "Men in Black" 7 times while recovering from having my wisdom teeth pulled I came up with the following idea for you to mess around with! Cedar Point is building a giant neuralizer (it was a gift from some friends from out of town) so they can carry on their construction of the new MiB headquarters (the Harlem tunnel vent building got a bit smoggy)! Then all the happy little visitors won't know what is being constructed, and they'll forget that they even visited the park, and come back again, thus boosting revenue!
Really people, while some of you may enjoy "whishing", please, spare me the agony. Maybe Cedar Point is building a new water tower, or perhaps a windmill power generator, Lake Erie winds are strong enough.
As much as I'd like for some of these "wishes" to come true, the reality is that unless someone here really is "in the know" (highly unlikely) or made an extremely lucky wild guess, most or all of these things may not come true. The construction may be for a coaster, or a flat, or a utility. The thing is, I can assure you (99%) that the people who know have not posted a single thing about what they know. Those "in the know" probably use this forum for some mid-day stress relief.
Now, being that I haven’t seen this "green track" lying around, I can't accurately comment on it, however please recall how many rides (of any type) in the park use some type of green track/support which said track could belong too.
Anyone who thinks they can make out anything small on that web cam must either have triple bifocals or have the web cam and a monitor with a resolution of about 150,000 by 100,000.
Why don't you just wait till the announcement; whenever that may be? Usually organizations don't announce a press conference or announcement till days or possibly a few weeks before the actual announcement. Why? Life happens, things change, the stock market takes a roller coaster ride, and there suddenly isn't money in the budget.
There is evidently something going up given the wall with footers behind it, but all they are, are footers, and the only thing that remotely came to my mind when I saw a picture of these footers is that they are designed to hold some short, tubular structure, likely not to exceed around the 50 foot mark, given their smaller footprint.
To me, the large square imprint in the sand looks like a mark that a bulldozer would make when setting its front scoop down in a resting position, perhaps to dig the hole for the footer right across from it with its small scoop and arm.

Okay, I recently talked to some higher-ups, while some of you think that its impossible to do so, its not like Mr. Kinzel is the president of the United States. I work in Park Services, cleaning the park and so forth..each day I talk to Mr. Kinzel because each day, or almost every day, he walks through the park on his daily tour. He doesn't talk. Nor does Mr. Keller. So not even Jeff knows what it is. Trust me. Point being, I worked out at CP in April, lo and behold a 70 by 50 ft concrete slab/footer was being covered in that fenced area, the concrete was poured into a 30ft deep hole. Now, based on rumors, Troika, Chaos are being removed, there IS construction on the MF island, and if you forgot, CP had their height restriction raised recently..heres my guess:
435 ft Intamin Impulse:100 mph
Have fun...

Wai-wait-wait--wait a minute... let me get this right. You honestly think they are going to build 2 Intamin Impulses? One after another? Or did you forget that they *just* got done building one of those?

Back to the topic, another impulse? Maybe you meant a Xcelerator type of ride, the "rocket coaster".
As for the MiA height variance, didn't they already obtain a 200+ foot height variance in 1999? If me senses serve me right they got that variance for the "hypercoaster," and then never built it.
My best guess is a rocket coaster like Xcelerator at KBF.
