Inversions or not??

Should the next roller coaster Cedar Point gets have inversions or not??

MF 00 - 1
MF O1 - 4

Good question I think, if only speculation. Personally, I'd say yes, since only Raptor, Mantis, and Corkscrew currently have inversions. I think it would be good to add more inversions to the mix, possibly a nice sit-down looper or something of that sort.

YOU BET! I know that its impossible for the next few years, but I wish CP would get one of those flying coasters... the kind where the seats lays down bfore it takes off...


Crazy idea... wouldn't a Force-Raptor breed be interesting? Hmmmm....

A Force-Flying coaster. I think I might wet myself on a ride like that.

Sorry.. but I think, among alot of people I know, that the flying coasters are FAR overrated..

Didn't really do alot for me the 4 times I've been on them... Much like floorless...

I don't care if it has loops... if it has airtime I will be happy...

Exactly what I was thinking Andrew !

I think that since, like Crystal mentioned, only 3 of the 14 coasters have inversions, it seems like the next should have them. But I really want a TA2K... with NO inversions. Why? Because with inversions, CP would MOST likely choose to use the OTSR's... arghhhh... I just hope that if they do get the TA2K, it will have those cool new lap bars like on Hypersonic.

Well, isn't that what a coaster is about? Airtime? (thats what I've been told many times lol)

No, not a Force-Flying coaster... I just had an idea of an suspended coaster with the Force's height. (A Raptor train on The Force...) That's be aswesome... you feet dangling as you hand 300+ feet in the air...

Down with flying coasters. Down with floorless coasters. Hooray for sit down loopers!

I say, mate MF and Raptor!

I've never been on a floorless, but they do seem like they wouldn't be much different than a sit-down. Why not do a floorless looper? A nice sit-down looper would satisfy coaster enthusiasts, and the floorless trains would draw in the GP (not that CP doesn't already draw in the GP). Honestly, though, I agree with Andrew et. al., as long as it has airtime, I'll be happy.

I'd love a B&M basic sit-down looping, those ones give some of the smoothest rides.

the problem with smooth is they right now are TOO smooth!

Ok, so some people now say that Arrow knows what they are doing again with coasters, and that they are back on the right track. If this is true, and CP is in such a dire need of a good looping coaster, why not have CP pull a Kennywood and have Arrow rework the Corkscrew, making it longer, adding more inversions, etc, but keeping the part that goes over the midway? This way, the important part of the scenery at CP would not be lost, and we would have what we want: a good sit-down looper. I know that probably no one will agree with this idea, but hey, I thought I would at least put it out there. Sure, I'd still like to see a TA2K and a nice CCI, but I think this would be kinda cool too.

Only 3 of CP's coasters have inversions (possibly 4 depending on your point of view ;) ) but only two of the 14 are wooden. . . :)
