Well, we've made it to 100 pages. Are you guys happy now? If so, good! There's no more need for an announcement. Good day! :)

We only hit 100 pages because "Millenium4ever" decided to spam the place up like crazy.

Well, I didn't mean to offend anyone. I guess I was just excited, next time just tell me to stop and I will.

Tony just made another blog post! Sadly, I didn't notice any clues besides the mention of YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook being the first to hear the news. He did, however, provide a couple tips for visitors to the park.

So I ran into Rob Decker at the park today (he walked out of an employee gateway next to Slingshot), he asked me what does CP need...I don't remember exactly every word, but it went something like this (and yeah, this is my opinion)

Did someone go check on Rob Decker after this conversation, I believe he may have bludgeoned himself with the turnstile after he was done.

Also, Tony..stop giving away secrets like the Raptor one :P now night lines may be a bit longer haha

^ Yeah I know, right? In the evening, we always used to go up front and ride Raptor, Ocean Motion, Wicked Twister, and Gatekeeper and we almost never got a line for those, they just went up to the station. Now I bet a lot of people are going to start doing what we've been doing for years…which is okay because that means shorter waits for Maverick!;)

On the list,what was the one thing Tony didn't put on? Renaming Mean Streak King James. Called it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wW1Y0XQ6lY

The announcement will be first made on the Youtube channel, according to Tony.

Of course. Means I can't learn about it during class because my professor is certain to notice me using headphones to watch a video.

I usually get my lunch between 12:30 and 1:00 at work. The timing of the announcement works almost perfect for me.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: I don't think whatever we get this year will be as significant as GateKeeper (i.e. a new coaster), but more so than Pipe Scream/Lake Erie Eagles (which is more along the lines of the thrill ride for teenagers announcement we've heard).

Say it a few dozen more times, maybe we'll get more pages.

Btw, are you thinking you're sticking your neck out with this prediction?

Nah, all I need to do is quote it like I'm doing right now. :)

I never thought of it that way. I was just giving my expectations on just how significant it will be. I don't know nor really care that much whether it will be correct. I'm just happy to see that Cedar Point will finally be announcing whatever it has next year.

So, seeing as everyone swears the webcams are clues.

<NOTE: MAJOR SARCASM IS ABOUT TO FOLLOW>
One is pointing at StR & SRF right now! This brings some potential clues to the idea that we may get an Aquatrax. Obviously StR & SRF will be merged into one giant Aquatrax. Tallest, fastest & steepest in the world. It's like RMCing, but its INTAMINing.

The other is focused on the Twister Midway, particularly WindSeeker, Wicked Twister, GateKeeper, the Stadium & maXair. This obviously means a boardwalk is coming here. WindSeeker is being torn down and sent to Valleyfair to become LightningHawk. Wicked Twister is moving to Michigan's Adventure to become TornadoHawk and GateKeeper is being sold to Six Flags where it will probably move to Six Flags America or Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and become Batman: The Ride. maXair is the only ride that is staying but it will be moved over to where the stadium is now. A huge 600 footer that races into the lake, back up over the parking lot and does a swooping pass over the boardwalk will go where maXair is now and take up all the land that WT & GK sat on. It will also utilize the keyholes and be named Keymaster.

This is what I got from the "clues" we were given though. I swear. Don't you see it?

<End sarcasm>

Not bad with the satire there, CoasterKid. And undoubtedly someone is going to swear that wherever the cameras are pointed tomorrow will be some kind of hint as to what's coming up.

I bet whatever's in store will come to a location that the webcams aren't pointed towards at the time of the announcement.

Tony said the big news is coming tomorrow, but YouTube (hence a new pov?), twitter and Facebook will be where all the action is. Last minute predictions?

Mine: A big 5 year plan including repainting of mantis (also renamed and possibly floor less trains), raptor and TTD. Rename mean streak King James for one year, then RMC enhancements for 2016 where it will be renamed to something else. Maybe back to mean streak? But for next year, Renovations around blue streak plaza including relocating raptor (hence the raptor hint) queue, and adding a new ride over there. Also bathrooms for C&P.

If the webcams point to Millennium tomorrow, that means Millennium will be torn down to make way for 40 Zamperla Disc-Os that way it will take care of the capacity problems on pipe scream. Millennium will be sold to Japanese Investors and they will use it in Nagashima Spa land, put it next to Steel Dragon 2000 BAM! a giga racing coaster.

I do actually believe that wherever the webcams are facing tomorrow will have to do with the announcement. And I could also see them renaming Mean Streak to King James just for the first half of the 2015 season before it closes down to be RMC'd for 2016.

If they're pointing toward TTD, Six Flags will buy it and put it next to Kingda Ka. Or if it's pointed at Magnum, it's going to Blackpool...

Now everyone swears that MS will get RMC'd in 2016, 2015 hasn't even been announced yet hold your horses!

You're spamming again...

You're right Ill shut up

O.k Tony says get the coaster shorts ready....bugs get in the eyes and mouth so be careful...too soon for a 500footer?

Thabto said:
The photo shop at Mantis was closed today. Could that be a sign?

Its been closed most of the season, and yes its a sign. Its a sign that no rides that thing!

All I see if Tony saying, if you wear coaster ridin' shorts you won't lose valuables, before moving to promoting the big announcement. Sometimes a blog post is just a blog post.
