And oh yeah, good job forcedude04 for analyzing just one small thing! ("Will this new ride settle record disputes?")

Has Jeff responded to the Screamscape rumor one way or the other? I haven't noticed him say anything about it yet.

I'm really having too much fun this year to get too caught up in the future. Time is precious.
I don't know if Jeff was hinting something, but this maybe a clue about what people might complain about.

"A little speculation is fun, but just because some Web site posts something doesn't make it true...
But then again, every time I say something about what Cedar Point is getting it gets its own topic over on GTTP. People will believe anything they read on the Internet."
This one has now made light here Jeff ;)

world's tallest (and fastest) continious circuit roller coaster in the world
(Height between 410 and 450 ft. with speeds of more than 120 mph. Hydraulic launch, similar to Xcelerator.) Now keep this in mind and wait for the press release...you won't be disapPointed.

Let's say it does 120 mph. To get this into feet per second, you mulitply 5280 by 120 and divide that by 3600 (60minx60seconds). This comes to 176 feet per second. Divide 4000 and 5000 by this and you get around 23 and 28 seconds.
I know that this would be straight track with no friction loss, so I factored in some an extra seconds to make it realistic. So this will be a ride that has a very little ride time...just like Xcelerator.
To me, this is what enthusiasts would complain or be disappointed about. But traveling the distance of a football field in less than 2 seconds sounds fun, does it not?

But then there are instances where I'm asked to leak stuff either to quiet rumors or generate a little hype. That's a lot of fun. :)
The whole "I should shut my hole" thing is really just part of the game, not a clue to what's next.
