Other New Additions for 2018

Was that a question? The description of i-305 as a combination of Maverick and Millennium Force has been around since the ride opened.

Huh I never knew that......strange I have no idea how you could get that? I mean I guess withouth Maverick's inversions.

Probably because the inversions are not why people remember Maverick.

Millennium Force height & speed

+

Maverick intensity & transitions

Yeah I suppose so. I must be bias. Maverick is my favorite coaster and I remember that Horseshoe roll! Haha
Yeah I can see what you are saying thought.

I agree 100%. If they put a couple Stengel dives or crazy direction changing airtime hills in place of the Twisted Horse**** Roll (thank you Siri, I'm leaving it like that) Maverick would have been even more incredible. The inversions feel forced on that ride.

The "best" inversion on the ride is the one that was executed so poorly they had to remove it.

ehh still my favorite coaster. haha

Just what is it about PTC trains that makes wooden coasters rough and painful to ride? I've never understood that.

The answer is in the name:

P - Poorly

T - Turning

C - Cars

Voyage is prone to all of the problems any other wood coaster is, in terms of bad wheels, track maintenance, etc. But while the ride is certainly the most aggressive ride I've ever been on, and not one I'd sit on for hours, I wouldn't describe it as intolerably rough. And to bring it home, it has never been as bad as Mean Streak.

It's also 15 years younger. In 2031 Voyage will be the same age Mean Streak was in 2016. This year (2017) Voyage is the same age Mean Streak was in 2002.

Hahahaha! 😂😂🤣 Gotta love voice typing.

Those new GCI trains (Mystic timbers) are much much better then PTC trains.

Someone spoke about the removal of the antique cars in FT...I think this may be correct. There is a rumor that Kings Island will be adding an antique car ride for 2018

They were talking about that on the KI forums page. That could happen since CP has 2 of them.

Yes, that is what got me thinking about it. They would have to come from somewhere, and as much as i hate for them to leave FT, it would follow the trend.

Yeah i'd rather remove the ones up towards the front but since they are working on FT it seems those would be the goners.

I'm still waiting for the day they do a "Scary Oldies" like Geauga Lake had on their car ride for Halloween.

That would be amazing.

I wonder if the New Frontier Town will be without the Antique Cars. As much as i know kids love these rides, it seems to me that CP is willing to sacrifice these rides due to the low throughput and large footprint. They could put a nice flume there.

I wondered this a few years back. I don't think a water flume ride would fit there, however....what about an updated horse and stagecoach ride(ala Knotts Berry Farm) to where Antique cars currently sits? It would fit the footprint and it would be 50 years exactly (next year) since CP had a similar ride towards the end of 1968 season. Interesting.

I would love to have a flume ride that is actually fun (and safe) lol. I love Intamin more then most but that was a failure (STR).

Given the recent hints about renovating Frontier Town, what if Mean Streak 2.0 isn't the only new ride addition next year? Could we see an Electro Spin or a Soaring Timbers type flat ride appear to help take some pressure off of what will be huge lines for MS 2.0? Given the history of Cedar Point, there have been times when a coaster and flat ride(s) debuted in tandem including Corkscrew-Troika in 1976, Jumbo Jet-Giant Wheel-Matterhorn-Frontier Carrousel in 1972, and Cedar Creek Mine Ride-Antique Cars in 1969.

There is also a company that does highly themed targeting ranges which would be nice to see once again.
