CP Better have sumpin huge up there sleeves....

I thought I read someplace maybe in a document or on the Cedar Fair investor website that Cedar Fair challenges itself for the biggest and best or something close to those words.

The prefixes are as followed (These prefixes are not made up. They are the SI derived units prefixes):

 
yotta-800 ft. Coaster

zetta-700 ft. Coaster

peta-500 ft. Coaster

tera-400 ft. Coaster

I hope this unconfuses(is that a word) some of you.

I don't even completely understand the purpose of this topic! Who cares if Cedar Point builds the tallest coaster ever, we just had that two years ago. So, for the new ride, being the tallest ever is no concern of mine. However, we do know that it will be a "taller version of an existing ride", and that's fine enough for me. All this "CP better have sumpin (which is not a real word) up their sleave" bulls#@! is insane, in my opinion....

Oh puleez (that isn't a word either) Could you have sumpin (there it is again) else to complain about.  It was only an observation that if CP is going to have the tallest coaster in the world, which is only a guess at this point BTW (Are abreviations ok or are they off limits too?) Sorry if I post sumpin (once again) that is not up to your high standards of posts.

I realize where you got the prefixes, I'm just arguing that nobody in their right mind would ever actually use most of them :)

Maybe the Millennium Force should have been a Yoda coaster (Yotta coaster).... May the force be with you.....

Gotta love that airtime on Blue Streak...

Hey I've got a good idea.  Why don't we let the people who build the coasters name them.  This thing with the prefixes is getting downright silly.

Yeah, but Intamin started the whole mega/giga thing...it's all their fault! :)

Where does Hyper Come in? It has nothing to do with any of the rest of them.

People believe anything they read on the Internet.
