New for 2015

Try the "So Where Are These Things Now?" forum.;)

I should have explained it a bit better I guess, and yes I see the wink. It sure looked to me like there were shrink wrapped coaster cars in the area I mentioned - between Mantis and STR. They were wrapped in the blue material you see people use for boat storage during the winter.

That being said I was just wondering if these could be the old coaster cars they use for halloweekends. Even though we have been at CP quite a few times I usually do not pay much attention to the "backstage" areas so for all I know these things could have been there for 10 years.

Those shrinked wrapped cars are the third train for Mantis.

I saw a couple of guys that work at CP taking video of the bar area at Bubbles Bar on Sunday. That could only mean one thing. They are taking out the submerged bar stools and turning the bar into a stand-up. I'm pretty sure this is true since there was no new paint on the bar stools.

People like that should be punched in the balls. An enthusiast of all people should know that it's duration, not degree of forces that matter.

Jeff, I'd pay to see you do that..lmao..that'd totally make my day. I just picture this

Cedar Point is leading on to SOME degree. But to what degree, I can't tell. I feel like we're on a wild goose chase.

It's fine! And yes, I did see an old paddlewheel boat and defunct dinosaur by Mantis!

It's not necessary to include the entire post when quoting someone in a reply. Trimming the unnecessary bits makes for a much more readable post. It's also generally poor form to double- or triple-post.
Sorry about that, my mistake! And yes, indigo would be a fitting term. :)

When do you think the announcement will be?

Usually announcements are between the middle and end of August.

Hopefully soon we'll at least get a date of an announcement.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

I DEMAND the date on which they will give the date of the announcement. :)

So, what in this photo will be different next year?

Mantis

I dont think there's a webcam at BS midway anymoee

No, but the webcam is facing Mantis and Millennium Island now.

Hmm... Here is an idea. What if the whole infield part of Mantis is getting taken out and redesigned to loop around Millennium Island on the water and we will see some new theming elements like the bayou huts or what not, along with a new, themed que? So technically it will go behind Top Thrill, on the water, and will easily fit in with the whole bayou setting?

^Of course the first hill and loop will stay but the rest will stretch on to go across the lagoon and will be much more open and not as compact in the middle.

Bon Aire will no longer be there.

Now that's a good possibility. It is old and quite the fire trap.
