New construction markings.

I remember seeing it the first year they did it (the only time I've seen it lol) and that was the best part......IMO. Perhaps we can get them to just dance in DJ style booths in the queue for the new ride.:)

Yeah and they can save money by just taking Mean Streak's DJ booth because they don't use that anymore.

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. :)

Find what info?

I thought it's always just been common knowledge about ADENA being CF's go to company..... :)

That is what I thought. :)

I did state that it would not be a surprise for CF to choose ADENA in my post, just from the way that I read Zach's post though it seemed like he was stating that he had found out that the contractor was for sure ADENA. :)

I have never really been a fan of the all wheels extreme show. I used to like going to the aquarium and seeing the dolphin shows back in the day but the new show never really caught on with me. I would have no issues with seeing that concrete come down for a beach front remodel.

If it did come down, I'd like to see them rebuild a newer stadium somewhere because I really enjoyed that show because it was something different. Maybe they can build one where more people will go to see it. What I mean is build it in a busier area such as closer to the main midway. I'm sure a lot of people would see it then. I think it would still be cool to have a wooden coaster along the beach, but at the same time, bring back All Wheels Extreme.

If they moved the All Wheels Extreme show right behind Top Thrill Dragster, it could fit with the theme a bit + more people would see the show.

They aren't going to build a whole new stadium/theatre to house a specific show. Only Vegas is dumb enough to do that. Nor do they care a great deal about how many people are going to a particular show; since the shows aren't separate charge attractions, if one is unpopular they just won't do it again the following year.

Aside from the fact that there isn't any space 'behind' TTD, how does a BMX show relate in any way to a Top Fuel Dragster theme? Because they both have wheels?

^The sorda got the same feel to the common visitor. They both are an Action type attraction with the Fuel Racing and BMX biking. A new stadium would not be hard at all to do. All they would need is the props from the show (half pipe and those random trampolines) and bleachers what could be used from the stadium. It would not be that costly.

Isn't that what they did when the built the Oceana Stadium in the first place? It was built specifically for a dolphin show. Or Cedar Point Cinema, which was built specifically to show IMAX movies.

I'm not saying they're going to build a new venue, or that the old one is going away. But how else would anyone ever build something new? "Hey, let's build this theatre, but not for anything specific. You know, just in case we need it."

Nobody with a grip on reality equates little undersized bikes rolling around a plywood ramp with 2 ton ride vehicles being hurled hundreds of feet in the air.

Reguardless of cost... there still is no place to put it anywhere near TTD.

Sorry I don't think I worded it correctly. My point was that CP doesn't seem too interested in building new facilities for live entertainment. Apart from Oceania & the IMAX theatre-neither of which have been used for their original purpose in a decade or more-there hasn't been a new entertainment venue in what... 40 years? I don't think it's a leap to conclude that a new stadium/theatre venue isn't very logical, especially when one considers that the stadium was always left empty for 1-2 seasons between shows. All Wheels Extreme just seems a lot more like filler to make use of a facility before the end of it's life. Plus, if they really wanted to keep it, it would be far simpler to put it in the aforementioned IMAX building... if they can make ice there I'm sure they can build some plywood ramps.

Not to mention that Oceania shouldn't really be considered an expansion of the live entertainment department as it was only built to compete with the whales those Bud Light people had in Aurora.

Just because Cedar Point hasn't built new theatrical facilities, doesn't necessarily mean the company hasn't. It should be noted that Dorney opened a theatre for a Snoopy ice show last season, and rumors are that World's of Fun will open one next season. With that in mind, I think it's unlikely that Cedar Point's ice show is going anywhere; I think those shows are some of the best entertainment performers (in terms of popularity) across the chain.

You are thinking this is going to be a huge ass stadium. It would not have to be as big as the Oceana Stadium and there is a small amount of space between Top Thrill Dragster and PE.

It would not suprise me if they made another Theater in Demon Drops Former site.

Since a lot of these markings have to do the water and sewer system, I'm starting to get the radical predicition that the new attraction might use water as special effects. Who knows? It'll be cool, but, I just can't picture something like that at Cedar Point. It would be a shame if the stadium gets taken down for the mystery ride, but hopefully CP could find out a way to work things out.

In order to build anything, they need to know where the water,gas, and power lines are so that they do not accidently dig them up.

Just because there are water markers, does not mean anything.

Btw...check out the new point poll...
