WDW doesn't have the fastest, tallest anything but each of its individual parks still outdraws the Universal parks.
Cedar Point will continue to prosper as long as they keep remembering that, "If you build it, they will come" isn't necessarily completely accurate.

I don't think bragging rights brings in the crowds. I think it is a good product and good service. SFWoA has an improving product but lousy service. Thus, the crowds aren't coming.WDW doesn't have the fastest, tallest anything but each of its individual parks still outdraws the Universal parks.
Chief, those are poor comparisons. SFWoA doesnt have *nearly* the "bragging rights" of their closest competitor. So your bragging rights theory doesnt even apply.
And even I, a dedicated Disney fan would not dare say that the product and service of USF/IOA is not at least equal to Disney. Disney beats Universal for one reason: Disney is about the most recognizeable brand name in the world. People flock to the name. If both sets of parks exisited without the history, who knows which park people would pick. But be clear, do NOT doubt the power of Disney's name.

I am pretty sure that almost everyone will agree that this coaster is going to be one big oval. I think the hill is impresive and am sure the ride will be great!!! but I just wondered if anyone else feels shorted by CP putting in such short rides! WT is also a great ride but I am not waiting in line for a 15 sec ride. WT was fun the first time but if there is a long line I am passing.I come to get the feeling that CP is almost out of space and is just making stuff to get their name out with records.
15 sec. ride???? are these guests really that remarkibly stupid??? are you serious 15 sec???? come on here.... seriously....15 seconds....are you crazy??? i haven't even read all of your replys yet......i had to stop at the 15 seconds that is just wrong....Wicked Twister is my baby and i'm for sure that for the "15 seconds" that she worked her tail end off for you and maybe next time you should appreciate what you have....and by the way 15 seconds is so not even correct.... it takes a complete minute and maybe even a minute and two or 3 seconds for my baby to make a complete cycle......so learn your facts next time before you start talking about her.....

Don't Assume everthing right away, CP always has a few tricks for us.
Sure, maybe a pointless post, but at least I didn't start a new topic for it.

1. Maybe CP should just name the thing #16.
2. Are we sure that the red/white side is the launch side? Is is possible that the white track pieces are brake sections and that the twist is on the way down??? After how much fun the back spike on WT is, it would make sense.

But in retrospect, this type of ride has not been done before. Last I knew it, Intimen (whatever) was testing something similar out in Nevada somewhere, but no one would go for it. All of the parks thought that people would never ride this type of ride. Leave it to CP to take the risk, which I personnaly feel is a great one. The speed and the hight is what is going to nail you to your seat...not spins. The rest of the ride is fluff after the first hill anyway, altho nice fluff, it is not what gets most people on (or running away from) the ride. It's the first lift hill, and that is what CP is going for. A record breaking first hill.
That's all I have to say about that....

you realy should read the rest of the replies I cleared that up on my 2nd post..The Post is not about the lenght of the ride or how good it will be.The post is about how you feel about Cp putting in 2 short rides in 2 years in a row. I am not disliking either ride in anyway just think the timing is off
Maybe if you would get your stats right, I wouldn't have to correct you on them, then maybe I would have read all of the replys before I said anything....Like DER!

None of them are saying that they are not going to ride the ride. Noone has ever said that. Noone has ever said that they will stop going to CP. Nobody has said that CP owes them anything.
All it comes down to is personal preference and taste. It is okay for people to have different opinions. I think some of you are putting words in to their mouths. Some of you hear the word 'disappointed' and you take offense to it. Just accept that they have different points of view. If you do not agree with them that is fine. I just think that it is ridiculous to see people getting bent out of shape like this. Be the better person and just respect their opinion, no matter how stupid or ignorant it may be. Just my opinion on the situation.
Once again, I am NOT disappointed with this monstrous mo' fo'.
Peace I'm Out
