New Water Ride?

I'm actually a part of a few forums, and an avid poster on them, as well. I realize sidetracks happen, but rarely do 2 page arguments over grammar occur. Maybe it just speaks to the overall maturity of the other forums compared to this one (or at least a select portion of the posters, not everyone, of course).

I hope what ever they put in won't kill what trees they have left! If they take out to many more trees, it will get to look like a hot city!!! Not fun.

I was wondering how long it would take before someone mentioned the terrible insidious act of cutting down trees in order to build something new.

I agree with dsloban. A big part of Cedar Point is the atmosphere. Cedar point is a beautiful park named after a tree . I would like them to save as many as they can.

Back on topic, I don't like the idea of the largest water ride. It's a novelty, and after the first season or two, will not really mean anything. I mean, SRF was the largest when it was introduced, but who cares now? It's just a nothing layout with a drop that gets you soaked. To me, leave the water rides to Soak City. I never understood why someone wants to walk around all day in wet underwear or a drenched wallet. I know one can where a poncho, but that defeats the whole purpose of the ride.

If a water ride is put in, I would prefer it be a themed ride adventure that gets you a little wet, like WWL. Another point to consider is since Halloweekends are so popular at CP, it makes more sense to invest in a coaster or flat ride that can operate in the cold months.

I'll tell ya, take out SRF, and utilize the space behind it, and I can see a large coaster going in that spot. Not starting a rumor, just making an example.

This is just my theory on this rumor of a new water ride. Personally I believe that if this rumored water ride is indeed going to be built then it would most likely be for the 2010 season. Otherwise, some footers (or markings for footers) would have been around while CP was still open for the season, due to the amount of time that they must cure before being used. As i do not believe this is the case, if any construction begins to take place the ride itself will probably not open until the next operating season. Which in my theory would be 2010.

I too would much prefer if they avoided another "biggest" or "tallest" gimmick. Keep it a little closer to human scale, but takes those dollars that would have been spent and use them on theming.

Cedar Point is not getting anything for the 2009 season.

Period.

^I wouldn't be so sure about that.

Maybe we will see the proposed Interactive Ghostbuster ride appear at the point.

I just like the lemon chill stands because they also sell the chocolate covered bananas by them. So I find a nice seat and sit and watch the ladies engulf that big chocolate covered treat..........

...................................yeah...you heard that right.

I bet $20 to anyone who wants to make a wager that CP doesn't get a thing for next year that any of us care about. NO FLUME. NO DESTRUCTION OF SRF, AND NO MORE LEMON CHILL.

I'll take that bet.

Somebody somewhere will care about whatever is new for next year.

Flume, sounds like something you might have to cough up when you are feeling a little ill.

Not something Cedar Point would like to be associated with. Cedar Point is pro-America and will never I repeat never negotiate with terrorists.

^???????? Are you high? Drunk? Mentally unstable?

Dude cracks me up!!!

Which add nothing of value. Seriously, they served no purpose. They rarely do.

Sounds similar to your posts in this thread.

hahahaa..classic

Consider both of you warned. If you like posting here, you should be more careful.
