News: Pieces of Cedar Point's mystery ride revealed

What does everyone have against fliers? To me CP needs a flier and/or a floorless.

An opinion can be used to throw people off.

I do it to my nephew all the time to keep him out of the ice cream.

"you're not going to like it, you don't want a bite."

Obvious it's not a setpoint ride, poor choice on my part.

Well, if it is a flyer, then I think Jeff is more right than ever - enthusiasts will complain.

I never saw when he said it not being a Setpoint, however, are you basing your assessment of him not using the pictures on the "official" ones released today by funcoast or the unofficial ones that have been floating since opening day?

Either way, you couldn't be absolutely sure it was Intamin until today.

its easy to mock those of us that are trying to figure it out on our own if you already have been told what it is. that's like making fun of someone for trying to guess the outcome of a movie that you've already seen. it just isn't fair. i'm sure if you had no concrete proof of what it was, you'd guess too, jeff. granted, some of the theories on here are just blatently wrong, but most have merit.

i wouldn't knock people for guessing though.

Jeff's already correct in his opinion...look at how many enthusiasts are already complaining that it is "another Intamin" and all we've seen are a half dozen pieces of track and some footers

He said over at CBuzz, if memory serves.

Loopy - yes, we could tell it was an Intamin since the "wind" picture.

The problem is that people keep guessing the same BS ideas even with evidence to the contrary. We have another 70 page thread with at least one 500 foot guess on each page even with numerous people saying its not 500 foot. It's mind-numbing sometimes, and there are much better ways to numb my mind.

See what I mean?

A little over 12 hours later and we're going around in circles again. A lot of you guys need to find a gal or a guy or something. Too many ametuer lawyers are here trying to prove why x = g.

Go out, have fun! It's a beautiful rainy day out.

I'm giving my final guess right now:

It will be a looping coaster without a record breaking number of inversions. If it had enough to break the record then enthusiasts wouldn't be disappointed.

It will be a launch coaster.

I, for one, will be happy if it's a looping coaster...hence the name.

That, and i'm just a bit loopy too.

But in the equation F=m*x, x does equal g. And isn't that a primary equation for use in coasters so there is nothing to prove, its already been proven.

And I did find something, but she said "Baaaa", I mean "No".

Edit: 2nd grade spelling errors

I should have warned you to take the velcro gloves and extra large boots with you before you went...sry

She was a looker too. You think she had a sister? *** Edited 5/11/2006 5:29:14 PM UTC by Coastern3rd***

How many flyers have you been on? They suck. Ride once to say you did, move on to something more fun.

Yes, because Walt and I spend much of our day wondering how to mess with people, then get into the details at our nightly meetings where we arrive by way of black helicopters.

I swear, while Cedar Point worries about covering the thing up, they could build the thing tomorrow and people would still keep coming up with irrational guesses instead of accepting the very obvious.

You've got helicopters? Not fair!

I thought so. :)

man, i want a black helicopter.

OMG, i bet jeff was trying to tell us that there's going to be a new helicopter themed ride installed in 2007 as well. :)

ha ha ha ha!! this is too fun.

btw, the helicopter comment was sarcasm!!

What's sarcasm?

Intamin Aquatrax anyone ???

:( :( :(
