News: Cedar Point work fuels speculation

See that straight long section they added yesterday? Yeah, that will be in a tunnel. ;)

And what happens when the susspension bottoms out? You still feel the same amount of g's ;)

I don't think those transitions are very tight at all.

Carole knows what it is.

And oddly enough, she has no idea what PB or CB are.

But not because the park "sought her feedback as to how the ride will be received," I'm sure.

Rocking horses.

I'm not thinking that they're going to break any records. I just think the trains will make the ride unique. I don't have time to copy/ paste (because I'm at work), but it was something in her interview that made me think of the trains being unique. Heck if I know; just have a feeling....

:-)

Maybe I missed something, but did the article say Cedar Point got a $5,000,000 mail-in-rebate on Dragster?

Y'know, I think you're right. I didn't even notice that on the first read-thru. I'm gonna have to look through my Meijer receipts to make sure I didn't miss any rebates...

Granted I've only watched the video, but it looks like California Screamin has more than two launches. Someone that's actually ridden the thing would have to verify that though.

Longest tunnel anyone? :)

i think its Hades at Mt. Olympus

most tunnels is Voyage at Holiday World.

Personally I think its going to break the length record currently its 8100+ but this ride still has a ton of work

I agree with you that California Screamin has more than 2

What about a booster bike type of car that are horses?

California Screamin' has one launch, and if the new ride is anything close to it, we will have ourselves a nice little addition.

The question I have is for Walt and Jeff. Do you happen to know what time their announcement is gonna be? I would like to go there for a long lunch break.

Must be nice to be able to go there on your lunch break! :-)

I have to find something online/ live.

Well I only work 5 min. from the park.

Sure, brag about it.

Although I would hate to be a permenant resident of Sandusky. :-)

A little birdie told me that the press will know at 3:30am on the 7th.

Is it possible that the trains could be Intamins version of the Vekoma motorbike trains? Now THAT would be incredible!

The details on the timing of the announcement are still be worked out.

it has the most of something

so it isnt the cars

Walt, do you mean that the release that went out to the media wasn't accurate?
