New construction markings.

I actually like the location of Wicked Twister. Now to get rid of an eye sore, how about unboxing Avalanche Run.


Shoot the rapids, tame and dry. Thunder Canyon, wet and laughter. Snake River Falls, soaked and smiling. White Water Landing and the old shoot the rapids, Fun and missed.

Because it's still very popular with the kiddies. There is always a line for the ride.

It's only one of two coasters at the park that the 46"-48" crowd can ride.


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.

Iron Dragon + Disaster Transport + Jr Gemini + Woodstock Express (if accompanied by responsible person) > 2

Those are kiddie coasters.

I wonder if they could make that work these days...wasn't the purpose of boxing it in to keep the sand out of the trough? It is fun to ride in the dark, but the overall theme on Disaster Transport has been lost over the years. It would be nice to have it out in the open again, next to the new ride they are building...it would totally refresh that whole area.

I would imagine Cedar Point just closing down Disaster Transport before opening the box up. It is a huge eyesore with the big box and it would be a great slot for future development.It would just be cheaper to take the whole thing down and not have to worry about damaging the ride when taking down the building. If they were to demolish Disaster Transport, it would really be a good idea to remodel that area where the concession stands and space spiral are. Planting some trees would also be a good idea.

I'd rather save a coaster than demolish one. They could still remodel that area once they took the building down. But that's just my thinking.

I don't care for Disaster Transport myself, but my kids like to ride it, and I'll even get on from time to time on a hot day just to soak up some cool air. I'm also one of the crazies who would like to see CP keep the record for most coasters all to themselves, so my opinion is a little biased.

I think Disaster Transport could be so much more...if they kept the theme up and added elements to it. Every year, it seems to get worse and worse, it almost makes me wonder if they aren't pumping money into it only because it's expiration date is coming soon.

The construction company is Adena.

They also did one of the Intimidators. I can't remember which one...Or maybe it was both.


Let's Get Weird.

That has been Cedar Fair's contractor of choice for the past few years, so not too much of a surprise there, but where did you find out this info? Not saying I don't trust you, just curious. :)

Who was the contractor for Shoot the Rapids?

Saw some marked utilities I haven't noticed before. I was exciting the stadium on the side by the beach entrance. The area behind the stadium is marked up as well.

Well, that adds another level of interesting to the discussion. Did they get as far as the queues for WT, did you see?

Uh oh, could this be the end of the Stadium and the AMAZING FANTASTICAL ALL WHEELS EXTREME!!!???? ;)

All good things must come to an end. And the bike show too, it would seem.

If they are the same marked utilities I saw yesterday while exiting the stadium, the pairs of red dots run in a line all the way to the Wicked Twister queue barrier.

Sadly, the only thing I'll miss from the show is the girls. ;)


-Adam G- The OG Dragster nut

Are there girls in the bike show? See, that changes things completely. ;)

There's a couple girls who....ummmm.....dance? And one who skates.
