Aren't all the coasters walked every morning? I thought they were, but I might be wrong...
I'm trying to figure out how I would walk rides. Dragster comes to mind as a hard one to do at least for part of it. ;)
Mantis is turning into a green floorless coaster named Rougarou!

JK. That would be cool though. Better than it is now. Hey, maybe they can fix the entrance while they're at it. ;)
Definitely not better than Millennium.

Do all wooden coasters have to be walked every morning, because I know Blue Streak and Mean Streak both for sure are. What about like Gemini or CCMR?
Only wood coasters have to be walked because of the laminated wooden track. Gemini and CCMR are steel coasters in spite of having a wood support structure.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
That's funny dude! Welcome to Pointbuzz. Now seriously, I brought that Idea up before and everyone might as well had just Laughed at me. Although I like that they are painting part of the track green. Makes me wonder what the rest of the paint scheme will be.

CP needs to get back in the main spotlight...
That depends on how one defines "main spotlight". You apparently define that as a park having record-breaking or unique coasters.
Cedar Fair has chosen to spend many tens of millions of dollars on upgrading Cedar Point's accommodations over the next few years, which suggests the company's definition of "main spotlight" differs from yours.
Only a few parks that qualify as a resort. Lucky to have the resorts to stay at while at CP. No other parks besides Disney have what we got on point.
No idea what the final colors of Mantis will be if it does get re-painted, however the current color scheme of the test paint on Mantis is green and silver.
I like the design of the Mantis track but I don't care for the riding position. Standing coasters were all the rage for a while because they offered riders a different experience...but for me the position isn't comfortable. So count me among those who wouldn't mind seeing a new train system used on the existing track. Just don't change the paint! Haha. I love how it stands out.
What Cedar Point needs in my opinion is something like an S&S Worldwide 4th dimensional roller coaster such as Dinoconda or X2. They both get incredible reviews, look awesome and keep people coming back for more.
Oh no. Please don't encourage that.
Look at what Tony posted a couple hours ago. What is behind that piece of paper?

Cedar Points 2015 plans are behind that paper.
;)
A chair is behind that paper! That means Mantis is getting floorless trains!

I don't know what to think...Tony Clark led everyone off all of these hints and clues as if Cedar Point is getting this new incredible roller coaster but yet I don't see any construction going on anywhere really. They would be clearing land and be putting in cement footers by now at least. They could at least give the public an announcement or put a piece of track in the park to tease of they are getting something. Turning Mantis into a floorless coaster is nothing major in my opinion and the track layout will probably remain the same. Dark rides are ok but nothing intense unless they go over the top with launch sections and 90 degree dives. I just don't want to be disappointed after hearing all of this hype on CP2015. If it were going to be something major I am sure they would have posted an announcement date to get the world involved just like Carowinds did with Fury325. Just my opinion. :/
Cam is pointed directly at the Cedars, what could it mean?
Probably nothing

Not necessarily. At this time last year, Disaster Transport is probably almost if not all the way down, and Space Spiral would be getting ready to blow up. But I doubt if it's a coaster. After all, Tony said in a tweet that the plans won't be in motion until January. But then again, who can we trust?;)

When did Tony say that?
^He didn't. Probably confused with the "xx days until 2015" tweet that literally counted down the days until 2015.
That's what I thought as well.
Tony was being quite literal with people when they asked "how much longer are we going to have to wait for 2015?" To which he responded about 4.5 months, which in the middle of August is the exact time until new years day which is the start of 2015.
There was also another question "hey what can you say about 2015 that isn't classifed for now?" Of course the response was "Hmm. It begins on Jan. 1? "...
Quite obvious to me that he was directly answering the questions and there are no hints, or timetables that can be derived off of these - other than the matter of fact that 2015 does indeed begin on Jan 1st.
Closed topic.
