Hello,
I live out near SFMM in California, I thought it would be rather cool however, to see whats going on at the point, so I joined. No, if your wondering I'm not a jerk about the whole SFMM vs. CP thing, I'm just a coaster nut. So I just wanted to say hi.

CP the best... and if you wanna argue that I'll take you down...
Well to tell ya all the truth, I can't find a MF sucks shirt :) I do however have a question (remember I'm stupid when it comes to CP, when you need some SFMM info, I'm your guy) Frist, are there Seat Belts on Mantis yet, SFMM added them a while ago to Riddlers Revenge. Also, for your next coaster, what is the popular rumor at the moment. Knowing CP, I am thinking probely a Floorless? I think that you guys could use a big mega looper, somthing similer to (sorry) Viper at SFMM. Last queston,how Long is Raptor, It looks like a great coaster, but is it as short as your standered Batman: The Ride?
Hi Allen, I think I can answer your questions. Yes, Mantis has seat belts. They were added last season. There are a number of rumors for CP's next coaster. A B&M floorless is right at the top of the list, along with a version of Disney's Rockin' Roller Coaster or a CCI wood coaster. Raptor's track lenght is 3,790', so it is a longer ride then the standard Batman: The Ride.
Welcome to GTTP Allen1492. Glad to have you:)
Welcome Allen1492...I'm going to be visiting SFMM this July and looking forward to measuring it up to my homepark of CP!!

Welcome Allen! Glad to have you.
Regarding the hottest rumors, we know pretty certainly that some buildings on the Oceana midway will be saying buh-bye for next year in preparation for a future...Boardwalk Project(tenative).
In the meantime, though, I suspect future business with our good friends at Intamin. This assumption is based on a few things including CP official's trip to Florida this past winter. This trip included Rockin' Roller Coaster and also the Hulk. (Not to mention CP's partiality to steel over wood for obvious maintenance and rideability issues.) Now with more and more parks getting LIM launched rides, the technology has finally come of age and perfection. For proof, check out PKD's Volcano, an Intamin coaster, and SFO's Superman which has also opened to rave reviews, another Intamin ride. Expect to see something of this sort turn up as the next major coaster at the Point. Once again, --All speculative--
