New for 2015
I've been around here for awhile, and I've never experienced the strange occurrences with this thread before; for hours posts and pages will be unavailable. It was mentioned that this is caused be a lot of posts being deleted?
What exactly is happening?
Has this happened before and I am just now noticing it?
That said, very excited to hear about the announcement.

Odd it's on a day they're closed.
That's not getting my hopes up,
I hope it's just the announcement of the announcement date

No trees were harmed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
^That tweet though. Really makes me believe this is a roller coaster announcement. I'm not saying its a new coaster necessarily...
I start school on that day too. Looks like im gonna be checking my phone during lunch.

OK, I've got it figured out.
The Pirate Ride building is coming down, replaced by a new dark thrill ride dubbed Rougarou.
Mantis will be repainted and named King James.
And Mean Streak will be closed for the entire 2015 season, only to re-open in 2016 as a new RMC-treated hybrid.
That would be saving the best for last.

Now we can just hope its something actually worthwhile!
If Mean Streak got the RMC treatment, that would be a long over-due fix for that ride. I would probably prefer a scrap and replace with a GCI, though myself.
CP really needs some good wood... Legit wood... Not that hybrid steel stuff :) Although those are fun, too... The collection is just unbalanced at CP in that regard.
I don't care what it is though, as long as it is a fun ride coming our way.

Of course it has to be the day I start school. I guess I'm going to hope I'm able to get on a computer sometime after noon (during lunch, probably).
Good thing we're allowed to use phones during school now. :)

I didn't know there were so many school-aged users here.

this is really wild but what if RMC did come in and did mean streak but it would be so big that they would announce it this year and then it would open in 2016 as a brand new RMC. VERY unlikely but possible. just a idea probably not going to happen but who knows they thought that colossus was going to take 2 years and be so massive and huge and super long and have 4 inversions and be one train and have 2 lifts well it's not but maybe this is RMC next big project. maybe this does not happen for a couple of years but it is probably on cedar point's todo list. if it is 2015 who knows. but something will definitely happen to it in the near future. as for mantis it will probably became floorless in the next couple years. a announcement for all of this will happen sometime this fall.
Might be slightly off topic here, but Colossus does, at least, have two lifts. No four inversions (two) and if it ran one train....my lord would that suck!
Thankfully, it should be open before next summer and it is 665 feet longer than its older version. 4 minutes, not bad.
I would rather see a completely new RMC creation than a redo. But thats just me.
If Mean streak becomes a hybrid, I would love to see a GCI on the property where Mine ride sits(despite that I have a sentimental attachment for the mine ride).
New here, but one thing I have been thinking about is with the newly renovated Hotel Breakers next year wouldn't it make since to also have a big new attraction to go along with it? Something that will draw more guest to the park in which will result in more people to stay and experience Breakers.
Not sure what will be coming.
My guesses are:
-RMC treatment to Mean Streak
-Mantis refurb (floorless)
-Something going in the pirate ride location
To be exact, he said High Noon. It may just be me, but it sounds a little like something a pirate would say... Could be a small hint referring to the PR building.
Closed topic.
