New for 2014

Or the development of Millennium Island.....

Pretend they were to remove Gemini (which they aren't) what would happen to Jr. Gemini. You couldn't make it a Jr because Gemini is gone ;)

On a serious note. Do you think tony meant anything by saying soar in the last line. Could this be a hint?

Maybe we're just painting TTD a new color (blue), Tony did say extreme make over.

The picture has me stumped, it looks like Millenium, possibly the drop right after the overbanked turn after the first hill.

If Gemini is removed there will much weeping and gnashing of teeth in my family. Corkscrew ought to go before Gemini.

I don't know if this means there will be a family style Millenium as jo linn suggested. But I don't think CP has enough wood in that park, it's really hard to count Mean Streak as usable wood.

The removal of Gemini for future development.

Gemini isn't going anywhere anytime soon, its one that I make sure to ride every time I go, as I'm sure it is for others. And I'm not sure on how much this really costs, but why would they repaint the trains for 2012, and add stripes back onto one train of each side for 2013 if it's gonna be removed in 2014?

I hope you're right!! Gemini is still one of my favorite rides at the park....it's so much fun especially when you race and can slap hands on the turns...

They better not get rid of it!!

Amen!

You know what would be nice? An addition of a totally new area of the park that would utilize and extend the existing Coral Courtyard land out toward the beach, pour some more new cement north toward the lake(from the current boardwalk) and put in some flat rides /food & drink carts, etc.
You would kill 4 birds with one stone. Have more developed land for the park stretching west/left from Windseeker, have closeby "nightlife" for people staying at Breakers, have your new boardwalk area from the small existing one, and draw more people to the under utilized beach. Sounds good to me...

I would be down for repainting TTD, among other things.

I believe at the offseason tour in March someone asked about TTD being painted, and it was answered that it will be painted starting this off season.

If it was just going to be a renovation of some sort then why call a family in to help announce. I am guessing the picture of Millennium is just to throw us off.

The latest clue says that this picture doesn't make sense. I am thinking they are doing "extreme makeover" of arcade.

I think Millennium is just going to be in the pro-mo video for the new attraction. Last year we got a zoomed in picture of Raptor through the Key holes before Gatekeepers announcement.

^Good point. This latest clue could mean absolutely nothing in terms of what 2014 will bring.

EDIT: A member on KIC, PyroKinesis, just posted that the latest teaser image is titled "bch_aer_reduced.jpg"

So unless this is just a diversion, it looks like this latest image is indeed from an aerial animation video, and that the addition(s) will have something to do with the beach.

And looking at TTD Pics, those aren't the style of TTD's supports either. At that degree in the hill the supports aren't vertical, they are coming off the big vertical support.

On twitter he said they're "swamped" with CP2014... Another clue?

The plot of land that Junior Gemini sits on is very nice and, it includes a nice little swampy creek behind it. This area could definitely be improved with a nicer kiddy coaster combined with improvements to the camp snoopy area that take advantage of that nice creek that flows thru there.

I worked at Dragster this Summer, and the new blog post looks like a picture of the beginning of the brake run on dragster if you were standing under the tower facing Iron Dragon Jungle.

I heard that we were due to be repainted, (considering the oxidation of the paint, and that it just really needs it.) but they will not be repainting it blue. reason being is that guests get Corkscrew and Mille mixed up. CORKSCREW and MILLIE. If they were to re-paint Dragster blue or something, it would be the single worst guest service and park operations call since forever.

personally, I think Tony is just messing with our brains now, considering that he literally said, "You know what doesn't make sense?". and since that picture makes no sense, i think he's right.

As for the tearing down of Gemini, I can hardly see that. reason being is because that ride can bust through people, it's a good start ride for families, and it was a record breaker when it opened. Dick Kinzel was very proud of it, many of us think it was what conceived the idea for Magnum.

the trains being tested on CCMR is new to me, but I know that Gemini is capable of running 3 trains per track. (6 all together, but in recent years the capacity has not been as high, so they have taken off the third trains. since their just sitting their, and the trains for CCMR are sketchy as balls I can see them doing that.

However, the live camera feed is strange, and I used it to wave to my girlfriend when i was working their this summer. and as of now, it doesn't seem to be working, but it could be my browser.

Some things that will be happening in 2014 I'm pretty sure I already know, but I don't really want to ruin anything, or risk my inability to be hired again.

:3

The webcam is working for me and people are still turning to ride Gemini.
