Next Ride to be sold/taken down

We all know that WWL days are numbered. WE also all know DD is for sale. My question to all of you is whtat will be the next ride to be moved or go to the graveyard?

My opinion is Corkscrew. Who rides it anymore!!

I don't know, but I vote we keep Corkscrew just because i am in love with screw crew's shirts this year. Their ride night theme slips my mind..

What would be the point of removing Corkscrew? It looks nice over the midway and if it was removed it wouldn't open up any real space for a new attraction.

A) We dont know that WWL's days are numbered...i wouldnt jump the gun on that.

I dont think Corkscrew is in any danger at all. They just added seat belts...but the main reason is the midway. Corkscrew is known to be one of the most photographed coasters in the world b/c of its placement in the park...how people walk right under the corkscrews....and it maintains good ridership.

I would say without a doubt that Disaster Transport could go. Even Kinzel admitted that its a horrible ride.

I also agree that WWL isn't necessarily set to be removed. All of that has been completely 100% enthusiast-based rumors. There is not necessarily ANY weight to the rumor, regardless of the attention or practicality of it.

I think Corckscrew is also pretty safe. It's a beautifully unique ride because of it's location. Although it's short, it's still very appealing to a lot of people, particular "noobies" who want to try a looper.

Also, if they ever did take out Corkscrew, it wouldn't really free up any space for them to do anything else. Unless it's giving them serious problems or has a serious accident, I don't see it going anywhere.

You all have good points. Corkscrew is a staple at the point. It shows up in all the commercials and pictures.

Disaster transport has go to go. First of all I really don't think it fits the area. You can see CP is trying to create a "Coney Isalnd" style area up there along the beach.

If you think Corkscrew is a staple at the Point then why did you just say that it's next to go?

I said it was next to go at first but once everyone chimed in it made me think it through a little more!

1. WWL - Is aging and the are could be better served with a well-designed water coaster. The rumors (although enthusiast-generated) have been around for awhile.
2. DD - It's up for sale! Yeah, it was said that if they can sell it, they will - if not, they will keep it. That doesn't mean they will keep it in operation though.
3. DT - I don't have to explain this one, do I?
4. MS - As some folks here have pointed out (and they seem to be very knowledgable folks), MS requries massive amounts of money to keep it in operation. It has also been said that the carpentry staff is considerably understaffed. The coaster only cost $8.5M when it was built, so if CP isn't willing to fully staff the maintenance crews, what does that tell you?

This is just a list of probables (IMO), in order. I'm not saying they'll be taken out in consecutive years, but rather that this would be the probable order of removal.

You really thin Mean Streak?? I would not be against that!

^ Eventually, yes. Its not a famous ride, like the BS, unless you ask chiropractors of course. The cost of maintenance will continue to increase while ridership will stay relatively steady or possibly decline. Since it doesn't really have the same identity as BS, CS, Maggie, etc, it will come down - its just a question of when.

This is what i think tyhe order would be for the next 5. DD, WWL, and Corkscrew, DT, and Magnama XL.

Well, first they have to actually build Magnama before they can tear it down. But, if you are trying to say "Magnum", then you are very, very, VERY mistaken. Maggie is to the "new" CP as Blue Streak is to the old (and new) CP.

Corkscrew aint goin anywhere either... CP icon.

I definately think Disaster Transport between now and 2010 will be history. I think what will go in it's place would be Cyclone, and I talked about this in my topic which is now on page 2 Im sure. It would be cool to see a Hybird of Cyclone along the beach in Disaster Trasnports place. Someone bring post in that topic and give me your thoughts in it. It's called Cedar Point Classic Cyclone.

Corkscrew and Magnum are not going anywhere for a long time. I think that Disaster Transport will be leaving soon. I also don't think that WWL is going either, I still think they will take out Snake River Falls.

Neither Corkscrew nor Magnum take up room. Corkscrew is nestled right into the middle of the park and Magnum travels outside of the park.

It's funny...I was at Halloweekends last week and we had just walked over to Maxair, and some little boy looked over at DT and asked his mom..."Whats THAT ugly thing?".

It just does not fit. Bravo for the attempt at Space Mountain...but it just does not fit. A woodie that runs along the coast would be gorgeous.

Word.

I think they should taer down Millennium Force because the line's too long and you can't bring your maXair cup in line.

I'm officially done reading this topic.

Exactly. It doesn't fit at all. A hybrid woodie would be just perfect running out and back next to the beach.
