Launch... Up... Tophat... Down... Brakes?

There is a "edit" button where you can delete a post...just letting you know.

June 28th: LocoBazooka Tour (Sevendust headlining)
July 11th: Korn, Puddle of Mudd, and Deadsy

Hey, like Jeff said "If it's only going to be a one-trick pony, it would be one hell of a trick." Not even he is ruling out the possibility of the L-TH-B idea.

------------------
Michael McCormack CP '02: 42
Magnum XL 200: 401 (526)
Millennium Force: 9
Wicked Twister: 28

Not to mention a full circuit means more trains and better capacity.

I'd rather die living than live like I'm dead

I'm sorry, but cpfan76, nobody cares how many years you've been going to the park. that was then... this is now. You are making guesses.. THAT IS ALL. You in reality have no clue what this is goin to be. Heck, my mother has been going to the park since she was 4, but that doesnt mean she knows what its going to be. Give it up buddy.

Seriously CPfan76....you should drop it

Guess who's back....back again ;)

LOL, its good to see that the Nile isnt only a river in Egypt! ;)

The only person on here that we pretty much think knows what the ride is going to be exactly is Jeff. I suggest those of you that dismiss the launch, tophat, brakes theory examine the hints Jeff has given us on this forum. Most, will come to the conclusion that the L, TH, B theory is the most plausible at this time. I think another element is possible (elongated bunny hop coming off the tower and going into the brake run, maybe).

For those of you saying it would be a waste of time and space if it is a L, TH, B ride. Please make sure you dont ride next year. Shorter lines for the rest of us!! If the rumored height and speed of this thing are correct, it is going to be awesome.

I agree with the facts that it does look like an L-TH-B, but i am still keeping my fingers crossed for some more. But even if it is, it will be great. I won't be disapointed no matter what it is. Even if it's "only" 200 ft high.

Jeff is wrong about it being a one trick pony. The first trick is the launch. The second is the tophat. So, I think it has to be called at least a two trick pony. I am still hoping for at least one hill.

"one trick pony" is a figure of speech

I know its a figure of speech. Just trying to make people realize the launch will be amazing. And what about going striaght downafter the tophat? Thats three tricks I can think of. Some people just need realize how lucky we are living near CP, PKI and having a potentially top three park in SFWOA.

I think most of us will change our minds about the Launch-Tophat-Brakes idea if it is built and we can actually see it. I know I will for sure.

Turkeys, the only animal smarter than man

this ride will not be a short ride look at the construcion map people

Well, if it were L-TH-B, wouldn't they at least center the webcam?

I know that I am probably more wrong than anybody here, but what if they were putting in a coaster with 2 top hats. Although I am sure that logistically (woohoo - 5 syllables= 2 points) this would be a nightmare, it would explain the long course and the Intamin announcement of a future "halfpipe" coaster. It would aslo explain why the webcam does not appear to be centered.

Do not take what I am saying as the truth; I realize that my guess probably is one of the worst ones out there since it really doesn't seem to make any sense. I just thought I'd post it to see what other people think.

While it seems that typical inversions would be very difficult given the size and speed of this monster, what do people think about in-line barrel rolls, a la Colossus at Thorpe Park?

Realistically, I doubt it, but it is still a possibility!
