Project 2007 Blog Update

I believe this was the original policy. Then (last year?) some numb-nut decided that it would be easier if it were just the same policy across the board. However, enough people complained about it and the policy was changed back.

The policy has been changed for this year. It's mentioned here and it's listed on page 29 of the Rider Safety Guide (available for download from this page).

Grrr...OK enough about ride policy, I need my daily speculation fix about this whole thing....

Anyone have more info they think they know about what's going in there?

Bueller? Bueller?

There's a construction site where WWL used to be. There's a fence around the construction site. There are footers for a coaster there. The coaster is designed by Intamin. Its red.

LOL!! classic :)

I saw a trailer heading north on I-71 today hauling a front end loader. Maybe it was for CP. ;)

1. "We're heading in a whole new direction" CP

2. "The path always taken...blah blah...not always the best" T & T

3. "Put 2 and 2 together" T & T

4. Its not a setpoint - Jeff

5. Enthusiasts may be dissappointed - Jeff

6. "Something big in the amusement industry is about to happen...I wish I could say more" - Jeff

7. Red Intamin track spotted

Come on...focus...what do they all add up to?

28

Remove number 6 because I'm pretty sure it doesn't apply to Project 2007.

So does it add up to 21 or 22 then? ;)

The 28th is a day on a certain weekend in May isn't it...~ ;)

The 28th is the Indy 500, so are you saying they are building a replica of Indy speedway with quad dueling (2+2) rocket coasters that travel at 230 MPH?

its definitly not an aqua trax :)

Spent a couple hours playing in the park today, and took a ride on the train to the back of the park. On the right side of the train once you get into the construction zone, there's a new crop of signs to read as the train passes them. Note, these might not be verbatim, as I didn't bring a camera or pen and paper with me. ;)

"We're goin' in a whole new direction!" (Same as the ones near the SRF/Swan bridge)

"The winds, they are a-changin'!"

"Get ready for some serious sidewindin'!"

"Hold on to your spurs!"

The entire area from the Frontier train station up to WWL's queues has been blocked off with a wooden fence a'la Dragster, with the "Back up Bronco!" signs scattered down the wall.

But, the wall also has a sign among the Back Up Bronco signs that reads:

"Look out! There's a storm a-brewin'!"

Again, I might have a word wrong here or there (Can't remember if it was 'Look out' or 'Watch out' or something completely different), but the general idea is there of what the new signs say. There's also a lot of land-moving in the area just in front of WWL's station, where the boats used to enter/exit.

Discuss.

The end of that made me think of the Mike Myers skits from SNL.

Coffee Talk... 555-4444.. call, we'll talk, no big whoop. ;)

In light of these new signs , I think that the coaster will be themed around a tornado. all the signs seem to make sense for that, the ride could still be named maverick and be themed w/ a tornado motif.

looper!! or something with a "cyclone"-like portion. sorta like the end of the mine ride, but on steroids!! :)

Walt you can take pictures from CP & LE Railroad and Paddlewheel Excursion now.

Isn't that what I said? :)

It seems to me that all the signs discuss something along the lines of moving in many directions... Could be interpreted as a Ball Coaster but I highly doubt it... i think its referring to how twisted the track is gonna be... just a theory....
