Announcing the design of the water tower?

RIP MEAN STREAK

Most likely SC expansion along with Mean Streak demolition or RMC. Hell, could even be a GCI renovation which I would prefer. CP needs a good woodie and RMC coasters aren't considered wooden in my book.

I don't expect a 2017 announcement yet. I think, like past years, this is only to announce the closure of Mean Streak followed by a late August 2017 announcement. All season, all signs have been pointing to Mean Streak's demise (or at least the end of Mean Streak as we currently know it) yet there are still so many nay say'ers.

This reminds me of the whole Mantis / Rougarou announcements.

can’t be anything really big or the 2017 announcement, they haven’t built it up at all.

Plus Mondays are generally bad days to make big PR announcements, as it will get buried in the news that is catching up from weekend news & general Monday stuff (ie. Stock market, politics, media stuff)

Cedar Point doesn't need to build it up. It is actually good that they aren't so we don't over hype it and end up disappointed like another ride opening next year...

Maybe they'll be announcing Soak City expansion that everyone wants! My wish would be they announce what they're doing in the former Shoot the Rapids area, but that's just me.

Cedar Fair has their quarterly earnings call on Wednesday, so maybe they want to mention a few 2017 announcements in there.

Substitute "Mean Streak" in place of "jackal"

Lets throw out a bunch of possibilities that could be announced monday

GCI woodie - kings island is getting one

B&M anything - valravn was installed

Waterpark - too early to announce (kings island announced theirs in October)

I think it is something closing. This is almost a month earlier than the Valravn announcement so they would want to give us time to get our last rides in.

Cedar Fair doesn't announce the closure of rides/coasters/parks ahead of time to give last rides.

They did for Mantis

And for Disaster Transport and Demon Drop, I think? Anyone remember if they did?

Many of the said nay say'ers just feel that its a 2018 project. There are not actually that many who are refusing to accept the obvious that something is happening with it.

Tony's tweet said an announcement of a major announcement. So don't get your hopes up until next month at the earliest

I can see that, but then I'd argue, why close the ride early and take 1 year and 8 months to revamp it when it usually only takes one off season to build a roller coaster form scratch? Why not just let it ride out all the way to November and then use all of 2017 renovate?

I'm pretty sure he was referring to the tweet itself, not the announcement.
