Well if its the Sally Idea or the Intamin reverse-wooden-boaty-water-thing I'll be excited to ride it but quietly wishing for another big Coaster.
Would any of these flume style rides being proposed fit on the island? Every time I go to the park and look it just doesn't look like that big of an area to handle much of anything. Is it actually a big plot of land and i'm just going crazy or would this ride need to cross between the island and the regular trails to fit at all.
I think I've sussed it.
The only thing that fits everything that we have seen so far.
They're doing a multi-million dollar rehab on Paddlewheel!

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.
Everyone is saying that the ride, just like MF, will not be entirely on the island, will go over the water, and will be stationed in frontierland. CF has made crazier things work.
Wing Launcher anyone?
If we are going to get an Intamin it is going to be one of the three I think: Wooden, Flume, Mega-lite. I don't see us getting the Mega-lite because to be honest I see Maverick as a bigger better Mega-lite. To be honest I don't want a Wing Launch coaster. It seems to be a gimmick just like the stand-ups. Beyond that, they don't seem to be long of rides and seem to be over not long after they start. Going even beyond that we already have 3 coasters that have launches. We don't need another.
Personally I'm hoping for an Intamin wooden coaster. However would not be disappointed with an Intamin flume.
I would not be surprised if it was a Sally Dark Ride though.

Hoping to one day build these great machines that we affectionatly call "Coasters"
If everything they previously posted about was what they weren't getting, then can't we eliminate Intamin as well.
From CP facebook: witnessed many people enjoying the intamin setting of the park at sunset
There is no dark side of the moon really. Matter of fact it's all dark.
@Maverickfanatic07 Not a fan of the wings huh? Alright, I can resepct that, but what about the mega coaster? Why did you eliminate that too? I think that is a good possibility. But I agree with you, mega-lite is out. Still denying you guys on the flume though. And can wood go over water (presuming they want to keep the boats)?
I'm up for a themed reversing boat ride. Seems intresting and unique. That may work with the Lightning Strikes Twyce. One drop forward and one drop backwards.

I eliminated the Mega coaster because of Magnum. Why would Cedar Point want to put in a Mega when we already have one of the best if not THE best Mega in the world?

IDK, Wing Rider looks sweet! Mega-Lite is too much like other rides, but that looks fun. I like the Motor Bike one too. I'm just going to be happy if it IS a new coaster, doesn't matter which one it is :) But if they do end up putting in a Wing Rider, I think we can kiss the B & M Floorless idea goodbye for good.

@Maverickfanatic07 Good call, but who couldn't use another Magnum type coaster right? Lol, thanks for the opinion.
@mourningglorie Thanks for the agreement! Although, looking at it, the wing ride is kinda like TTD without the tall hill, but I have to admit, it does look really cool and has great capacity, and it is a unique experience. Agree with you on the mega-lite. Motorbike is awesome, I agree. Both Wing and Motorbike are launching too. And yea, if we get a wing we won't need a B&M Floorless.
Look at all the clues we originally got. What did they all have in common? They all mentioned a roller coaster manufacture. Key word ROLLER COASTER. Now they are eliminating all the brands leaving us with Intamin. Those first Facebook and Twitter posts were clues right? so then why would we believe them to be clues for a water ride/flume? They were obviously pointing us towards a coaster of some sort. Think about it, these clues have to be related (or at least I hope they are).
Watch in about 10 minutes they'll post on twitter No Intamin next year. Just my luck.
I checked out the wing coaster too... Its a good possibility, It looks like it has a whiskey barrel theme already... But... I have to say it..I know I'll get flamed for it.. but it looks like a 4D-wanna-be.. If the seats don't rotate, It just seems to be a poor mans X-Coaster IMHO..
I will cross my fingers for the aquatrax

It looks like such a fun ride..
Jeff mentioned that next year's attraction will fill a void in their attraction lineup, So whats missing in CP's line up ?
Flume ride ? dark ride ? a Good wooden coaster ?

We already know it's not going to be Aquatrax, they said that earlier this week.

Sally Dark Ride, I'd rather see a wooden coaster over this....but it makes sense for the park. Kinzel doesn't want people going to Kennywood.
