New for 2015

^ I agree, but people keep bringing up replacing mine ride or adding a coaster by the Point Pavillion when we know it is going to be a thrill ride.

I think we're all gonna be surprised, happy, excited, etc etc about 2015's upgrade! A thrill-ride aimed towards teens and other hardcore thrillsters is the plan according to CP....

Wait, did I miss something? When did Cedar Point announce that? The only clue that I only recognized was during the off season Chill Out when Tony said something along the lines of we don't wanna miss next winter's off season tour. And I took that with a grain of salt.

Sorry. I looked up that information after I posted that comment and deleted it immediately. Thank you for the link though

Gatekeeper2013, I think thrill rides and coasters are on the same spectrum when talking about future additions.

Coasters are thrill rides...

Just a thought, with Rougarou roughly translating to werewolf.. Didnt CP previously have a haunt titled Werewolf Canyon where CornStalkers is now? If they eliminated a werewolf haunt, why would they add a new one?

They announced the two new haunts last night: Tombstone Terror-Tory and Hex Haunted House.

Where at? (I cant seem to find it on the blod/FB/Twitter)

The haunts were announced at the Coaster Campout last night.

I an assuming that Terror-Tory will be a cowboy theming and I am not sure what Hex Haunted House is. Can you please explain the theming and what haunts are being removed for them this season?

samosuband, yes you are correct.

Could Rougarou be female? Something feminine is being shown at the park and I can see Rougarou being a girl... I dunno but with KI doing Banshee as the first female themed coaster this year, could CP be looking to do the same?

I'm going to do a little summary of everything we know so far.

3 Trademarked names:
Rougarou
Fury
Fury 325

My guess is that Fury 325 is for the giga coaster at Carowinds. Not sure what just plain Fury is for.

Rougarou was sort of teased at during Coaster Campout with the Camp Rou and the werewolfs during the night. This may work its way into Cedar Point next year.

2 new haunts:
Tombstone Terror-Tory
Hex Haunted House

One of these is most likely going in the building by GateKeeper. The other is unknown.

Mantis has some new green paint. There's the long rumored sit down conversion, which may be a possibility for 2015 as part of a retheme, or maybe it will keep the stand up trains, and just get a repaint.

King James still has to be named as one of the coasters. This may have something to do with the Mantis paint. Nobody knows if the new name will be permanent or temporary.

There are tons of markings by the Point Pavilion and Raptor. Nobody knows what they are for. They might be for the other haunt which still has an unknown location, for a new, updated pavilion, or a new thrill ride.

Jason McClure said that "Cedar Point's new ride in 2015 will be a thrill ride aimed at teens and other hard core thrillsters, rather than a family-oriented ride".

Tony Clark tweeted "Currently working diligently on 2015. Did I spel that rite? More importantly, did I say it right..."

Tony Clark said at the CP Chill Out, “I can guarantee you're probably gonna want to come back on the winter tour next year.”

Overall, we're getting something thrilling, some new haunts, and new paint on Mantis.

Now it's a big game of Clue: where will it go, what will it be, and how does this all connect?

If past years are any indication, some clues they give are actually to throw you off. I don't think anyone here ever guessed PS and LEE would be coming this year.

There are lots of markings by Point Pavilion and Raptor. Raptor is being rerouted to the front of the park. That leaves lots or room between the Corral and where Cedars Dorm is located. Bluestreak gets some company back there.

Just adding fuel to he fire.

...I can't imagine Mantis will be converted to a sit down coaster. A ride designed for riders in a standing position is a ride NOT designed for riders in a sitting position. No park wants to cause riders pain.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that a "King James" coaster re-name will be temporary.

Of course it's temporary but that's quite vague. Wildcat was temporary. The ride isn't even around anymore. :-/

Yes, like remember "@!!$!(*%%" that had to do with Banshee at KI for this year...and that code was sent out back in 2012!!

I don't think most pointbuzz users would want to talk about 2015 without much to go off of, but I remember reading about Jason McClure saying something along the lines of CPs next coaster being in the works (probably design phase) and Tony talked bout how good he thinks the next few "five year plan" years will be.
http://youtu.be/geRHSsurWwA?t=26m36s "the next 2-3 years"? Maybe next year?

I'm sure whatever CP has planned for 2015, it will be good, like always.
Maybe those markings seen on Coastermania day have to do with something.

He expressed we must "respect the old and embrace the new...we must evolve." So yeah, brace yourselves because some things are about to go bye-bye! Whether it's Mantis, Mean Streak or CCMR, CP is about to have a revolution these next few years after being "quiet" between Maverick and Gatekeeper.

Oh boy.^

The "respect the old and embrace the new" was spearheaded by Ouimet himself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6Z8D0EBGv4

With Kinzel rides were being leaked or every one had a pretty good idea what was going to come. With Ouimet no one seems to even have the slightest idea what is coming except for the type of ride in this case. I like the change, having no idea what is coming is making speculation much more fun.
