Um, I don't think you're aware of Grand Rapids and Thunderhawk then.

GR isn't a coaster, and Thunderhawk isn't a "shiny new coaster" but a leftover (albeit a good one) from Geauga Lake.

Thunderhawk? A good coaster? The terms "good coaster" and "SLC" should never be used together unless you say "SLC's are not good coasters."

I have been on most of the slc coasters in america and canada, and I do have to say that tunderhawk is the best. There is hardley any head banging and the ride is smooth.


what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.
I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Oh, now I understand.
We're getting an SLC. ;)

I liked Thunderhawk - granted, B & M SLCs are far more superior. I happen to think Raptor is top five at CP. But, I digress - there aren't many coasters against which I discriminate :)

EXCEPT, there is already one at Cedar Point!

@mourningglorie: and we arleady have an Intamin so I guess we're not getting one of those too? :)

^^To be technical, Raptor is a B&M invert, there's no such thing as a B&M SLC. SLC stands for "suspended looping coaster" and is a design solely used by Vekoma.

Exactly, Walt. I understand that the park needs family-friendly rides as well. But if it was Ice's Amusement Park it would consist of one record-breaking coaster after another with Happy Friar in the middle, free super-sized cups of water and a $5 footlong Subway. : )


Please remain in your seat until the ride comes to a complete and final stop.

RideWarrior18, are you kidding me? That's like comparing apples and oranges. Really.

mourningglorie, Yes, I was kidding. Did you see the smiley? :)

@RaceRinger - sorry, my bad. But, for all intents and purposes, they are basically the same thing, just the track layout and seating are different.

If it is a Flume as many people are saying it could be. The name Whyte Lightning just doesn't go well. I mean when I think of Lightning I think of something fast and a flume doesn't come to mind when you think of fast.

Or maybe it's just me.


0 - rollbacks

^Jugga, SLC's don't swing out, they're rigidly connected to the track, as well.

The new ride doesn't just revolve around coaser enthusiasts. You can't just get a new coaster every year. I will be happy if we get a flume, because it will be family friendly and I love flumes. I am a water ride fan and I love the rides that can be refreshing and not get you drenched at the same time. A flume is a perfect ride for CP and is just what they need.

Cedar Point doesn't have an SLC. Corkscrew is a Vekoma, and Raptor is a B&M.

Corkscrew is not a Vekoma.

Sorry, was looking at the wrong coaster line.
It's an Arrow Dynamics.

Sure Corkscrew is a Vekoma, and Millennium Force is CCI!

CCI? Does it choke away important playoff games?

I get the same headache from Corkscrew as any Vekoma I've been on, so that's plausible.
