I hope to say another woodie at Cedar Point. P-09 perhaps?

My question: Why intentionally stoke the fire beneath the "Mean Streak's days are numbered" rumor?

"There's a right of passage in riding your first coaster, since they're somewhat gentler than your twirling, whirling zooming steel coasters. They're the first coaster experience for a lot of people."

YEAAAA, ok.

Genler than your twirling, whirling zooming steel coasters?

So what if know one rides the rides? Or even the coaster? Will they get rid of the coaster/ride? Another question do you think MS has done its time and will be joining WWL? And if it is going to then what are they going to do to with a nice space that MS has?

Once again we're planning to demolish Mean Streak, eh?;) And who said White Water Landing was taken out because of low ridership? I believe there will be a new flume ride or something similar to replace WWL in the next few years, maybe even '07:). Is this article a possible hint that Cedar Point will be getting another wood coaster soon? I think most people would love to see a Gravity Group or Great Coasters Int'l creation at Cedar Point in the near future. I would love to see Worlds of Fun FINALLY get another woodie. It's been almost twenty years since Timber Wolf was built. The article makes me think that some of the newly acquired Paramount parks are being looked at for woodies as well. I think Cedar Fair is looking closely at all the financial mistakes Six Flags has made as well as what they can do with their own parks, and wood is a good way to go for both the company and the public.

Water will be involved in this new ride,

MrScott

Ok enough all ready we all heared MrScott say there is going to be water for 2007 in some way. You dont have to keep telling us.

maybe in 08 we can see another intamin - like el toro. that looks hella fun!! and its beautiful in person.

Memories are made with MeanStreak, I remember all of the injuries I've had on that ride. ;)

And it will be a looper.

I think I agree with you, CP4eva'04. That, and water will be involved. ;)

MrScott

Is water going to be involved in this ride?

If not this year for sure in 2008, because of maXair in 05 CP didn't build there water ride / coaster they wanted to.
