Lets Pull An All Nighter!

1 hour and counting.

And then another 240 days until the ride opens!

You guys do realize that everythings already been up on ThePointOL right?

thats not "everything" I think thats just the stuff that was in the media packet, I want to see train renderings and I'm sure CP will have more

^exactly. besides, I havn't looked at pol's stuff. I'm just going to wait until cp puts it out there for us.

Early prediction...Project 2008 will start off with the destruction of Mean Streak. A man can dream....

its not even pol's stuff, its really funcoast's stuff

Perhaps I'm just too tired and the blurry vision made me miss an earlier post... but do we know that the announcement (officially) is coming at 3:30am?

If so, I'll fight another 21 minutes with you... ;)

I guess there was a person on here earlier saying that her husband heard on the radio that they are announcing the ride at 3:30am. I do not know that is true or not. I probably wait till 3:30 (after Family Guy), and see if its update and if not I will sleep. I don't sleep until 4am usually every night anyways like I've been saying a lot now.

Well a media person told me that's when it would be viewable.

Good enough for me... I'm sure I won't be MUCH more tired in 14min ;)

It's sort of a relief that Cedar Point is going for something unique with theming instead of just slapping up a rollercoaster on a once beautiful plot of land. At the same time, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that the trains are so short. I thought Cedar Point was supposed to be the best capacity park around. How are they supposed to do that with a ride that carries a third of passengers the other coasters in the park do? While this ride looks like a solid addition to the coaster collection, something inside me still says White Water Landing did more to add to the variety in the park than this will. I sure hope a new log flume is in the works sometime soon.

i think the short trais kinda hit me wrong too, but there are six of them. if they hit intervals it will really be sweet. i was initially dissapointed when i saw the leaked picture a few days ago, but really, with all the theming and everything, this is going to be one hell of a ride. plus a heartline roll at probably 60 mph? that just sounds sweet. plus i like the colors for the trains :)

Ok, I'll give them another 5 minutes and then I really have to go to bed.

there it is

it's up

Typo... Ride Site says 55 acres I'm sure they meant 5.5

i noticed that too, someone should tell them

Yeah the short trains I dont think that will be that bad. They can probably load them faster with the over the shoulder restraints like the raptor hence plenty of capacity!
