New for 2015

B&W upside down does not become B&M. It becomes M&backwardsB.

You kids really need to get some fresh air.

I don't think you understand what upside down means.

Me?

Yeah, you.

What you described is backwards, not upside down.

Lol, you're all getting a little too carried away. Everything has got to be a hint now? The blueprints are square, does that mean the new attraction will be square? The word blue prints has "blue" in it. Blue streak? Prints? as in dinosaur prints from MI? So many hints omgomgomgomgomg. Everything can be interpreted as a hint so B&M is nonsense.

So, what you are saying is the obvious thing he tweeted could not mean a thing, while the world "blue" and "square" could easily mean something? Look dude, I get the sarcasm but we are just coaster enthusiast trying to have a good time by predicting new attractions.;)

2015-Rougarou/Possible Dark Ride
(7/30/14) Note: The real French word for Werewolf is apparently Loupgarou, while Rougarou is apparently a Cajun and French Canadian variant on the spelling, with their own special lore for the legendary creature known across French Louisiana. Apparently some Native Americans and First Nations folklore also refer to it as the Rugaru, where the legend seems to crossed with that of the Sasquatch and Wendigo as well. And of course, if you love monster hunters... we’ve also seen a couple of them featured over the years on the long-running TV series, Supernatural.

I suppose that depends on how we're defining "upside down". :)

If the blueprints are rotated 180 degrees (about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the paper) from normal, "B&W" will look like "M&backwardsB".

If the blueprints were flipped over so as to be facing down, "B&W" will look like "W&backwardsB".

The sad part is that I just did a number of tests to confirm that I'm not crazy. :)

That's nothing that hasn't already been discussed on Pointbuzz.

Thank goodness we have Screamscape and their expertise in French-Canadian folklore.

If you type in rou-garou in French and translate it to english it comes up as red werewolf. I don't know maybe red will be the color of the ride/coaster. Just a guess

So was I the only one who noticed that Tony said 2015 was on his mind and Raptor was pictured right above his head. Sorry if this was discussed earlier. Maybe they are going to convert Raptor to a flying coaster :)

Screamscape pretty much gets all its information from here.

Nothing's going to be changed on Raptor. It's still a popular ride. I think it could use a new paint job though.

I wouldn't mind if Raptor got the Gatekeeper/Banshee restraints/trains. When I rode Banshee I preferred that style over what Raptor has. My head didn't hit anything on the quick turns/flips/inversions/etc.

I'm sure that's something that Cedar Fair would certainly look into.

There is an animated aerial view of the park, on the video of Hotel Breakers next year, that is playing in the lobby. They don't show every ride in the view, they only show Dragster, Millennium Force, a couple others, and then Mean Streak. This could mean that Mean Streak will still be there next year.

Was there any doubt that Mean Streak wouldn't be there, other than completely groundless enthusiast speculation?

I was thinking that the Raptor photo was kind of like a thought bubble above Tony's head, while he was thinking about 2015.

I agree. I would love to ride Raptor without the trims with Banshee restraints. Banshee was so smooth, yet forceful at the same time.

Sometimes a photo is just a photo.
