New ride... place your bets!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! I thought maybe that another park had at least three. But, Cedar Point is always looking for records to hold!

I always thought it would be fun if CP screwed with us a little (I know I would if I was in their place), but I never expected this. The suspense is really getting to me.

How about Twisted Fury?

OK...maybe i'm going out on a ledge here, but I think they are dropping us HUGE hints. so far, the webcams have been the biggest clues. We have the names: gale...twister...fury. I'm just thinking that these are clues to what the real name is gonna be...like maybe Tornado or Hurricane or something like that. someone lemme know what you think of this. also, has anyone found a good website with pictures of the track. I saw a few, but i didn't know if anyone had more. Thanks guys...

by the way...greg...you are the coolest! :-)

Hey, Brian Wasup? I can't remember the last time I saw you.

Anyway, I should have pics later this week. I'm out of school for Thanksgiving on Wednesday thru Friday.

King's Island currently holds the record for most inverted coasters.

As long as it's NOT Gale Twister. It sounds too much like Gay Twister

I believe I posted this here...but a few weeks ago I called the park and someone in marketing told me the announcement was scheduled for November 19! We shall see tomorrow...

Maybe it's 3 impulses!!

Welcome back Raptor riders, how was your flight?!

I remember that post Mikey - ha, I remember how angry I was that we had to wait until Nov. 19th. But now that is tomorrow... And Jeff said that an announcement will come after IAAPA... everything falls into place. As for Fury Cam, who knows. Those pranksters at CP are doing a good job!

edit: about the 3 impulse comment, you never know - remember the article stating that there would be 6 operator stations? Well, two for each impulse? Hmmm...

Maybe this means there will be a theming and the ride will have multiple personalities and you won't which ride you'll get because the steel will morph randomly just before the ride!!!

Six Operator Stations? Maybe that's where all that wire is going! :)

Shame on you for laughing at the theming idea, John! After all, isn't your favorite ride the only coaster that has any theming in the park? ;) As for 3 impulses...I would be shocked and amazed beyond words...

Whoever mentioned the "Fury Cam"...

I checked the cam and it still says Gale. Are you looking at a different one?

I had the same problem, try copy and pasting the URL into your browser instead of clicking on the link. That worked for me...
-----------------

My hat goes off to the webmaster at cedarpoint.com for humoring me this weekend. Let's face it people, CP is jerking all of our chains! They intentionally put the cam up on the site to start up the rumor mill again. Can't you see this?

Perhaps they will name it the Cyclone after the legendary classic that was once located in that area? Just a thought.

...expect the annoucement to be tommorow..not today....
