CP coaster for sale?

My first thought was that "roller coaster" probably meant White Water Landing, but who knows. I think DT would certainly be a canidate to be sold as well. Or maybe they really did mean to say Geauga Lake, since the possible removal of one of their rides has been talked about for a while now.

Poor Tony and Tyler.... :(

Let's say (for argument's sake) that they take DT out and move that pile of **** down to Texas. What would they put in its place? Or more accurately (probably), what would they move there to make room somewhere else in the park?

Yay they're selling Dragster!

???? CP will NEVER sell TTD because it cost them too much money to build. If CP does sell they will sell something small, either Wildcat, DT, or corkscrew. All the other coasters are too big to move. Oh yeah Woodstock Express maybe, but I doubt it because it has to do with Camp Snoopy.

I think he was kidding - just a hunch...

LMAO at that outburst...

A few possibilities for the DT plot of land are:

a mid-sized twister woodie completing the revitalization of that area of the park (possible)...or

the station for a 500 footer that runs out and back on the beach between Lake Erie and the parking lot (boo)...or

the Cedar Point Cyclone back at its original location! (pick me! pick me!)

I can dream, can't I?

Here we go...

A 500' woodie twister, with a cyclone replica built in to the layout...

I guess that CP isn't really worried about the number of coasters in one park record if they have one for sale. That's too bad that they'd want to sell one. Even though I don't ride them all the time, each one holds a special place in my heart. :)

Yeah, there is nostalgic value for many of us, I'm sure, for a lot of the rides... heck, even Jr. Gemini has a special place in my heart!

But, the fact of the matter is, CP does not have an infinite amount of land or money. I'm all for keeping every ride, but if selling one of the, um, "not-as-great" coasters gets them some extra room and some money at the same time, I say bring on the bulldozer!

Lets just hope they're not taking out DT in order to put in a humongous lemonade stand! ;)

Actually that would probably be an improvement over what is there now. :)

>>> LMAO <<<

You are absolutely right!!!

Hey - does the dolphin/aquarium thing still exist? I just realized that I haven't made it over to that part of the park in years...

I would think Wildcat would be a very likely candidate. It's easily transportable and would be affordable for a small park. And remember, Valleyfair! got rid of their version of the Wildcat (the original CP Wildcat) for a Wild Mouse. I can see CP putting in a new Wild Mouse or Spinning Mouse in the place of Wildcat.

Hmm all this talk makes me curious. I will have to make sure to ride every roller coaster when I'm there in 3 weeks just incase one does pick up and leave!

Yes, I was kidding about selling Dragster, although I would honestly not be at all sad to see it go. Can we trade Knott's for Xcelerator? Please? Pretty Please?

I have to agree wiyth Pete. A far more likely candidate is Wildcat, since it is easily portable (it's moved around CP a couple of times).

Or maybe this could be a very elaborate publicity stunt to boost attendance. Ya never know.

I agree that there is nostalgiac value with all the coasters. I would be sad to see any of them go even though I don't necessarily like all of them!

Given the construction markings, CCMR wouldn't surprise me at all. Much more likely than Wildcat IMO.

The El Paso reporter told me in an e-mail that he understands there is another Cedar Point (Fair) amusement park in the vicinity and that it might have been that one.

I had a feeling it was Geauga Lake when they mentioned Cleveland. Leave the woodies alone! ;)
