Project 2007 Blog Update

Tony and Tyler just wrote about Surprises yet to come that they will be getting out thier Ten Gallon Hats... and said The Winds of Change are a blowin... i know its the same teases as before... but here we go again!!!

This will show my age a little, but, when my family went to KI and the largest coaster was the Racers (none backwards), I was terrified of riding it. I was ok until we got into the station. That's when it really started to sink in that we were about to board. Sometimes, my mom had to bribe me with a dollar to ride it. Years later, I love coasters and am not afraid to ride any of them. Oddly enough, the Vortex at KI is the only coaster that gives me that gut wrench on the first drop.

It's about time... ;) (@ T&T, not coasterfury)

I saw Tony and Tyler today in the park YAY!!!!! They were in the Skyhawk area in the early morning and they looked busy

Coasterfury I understand what you mean. Whenever I went on Racer I always went forward. It took me a while to want to ride backwards. Now I get on it and think nothing of it. Vortex was my tougest one to get over when I was a kid. When we started doing Cedar Point Trips, Magnum was the first big coaster I accomplished first. For some reason after I rode Magnum, I was terrified of riding Mean Streak, now I love it. Anybody else feel the same way about one of Cedar Points rollercoasters at a young age?

I think that the latest post definatly shows that a Press Release about the new coaster is just around the corner! However, I'm not sure what to make out of the 10 Gallon Hat thing...I suppose it's just the same stuff we've been seeing all season, though.

winds of change are blowin'

hmmm.... isn't Intamin's new design called a Windwalker?

Nooo...

For some reason these two pics stand out to me. (2005 Halloweekends)

I think the reference to 2007 is in regards to when Mr. Kinzel was suppose to retire, and how Mr. Falfas would more than likely have taken his position.

I agree. But the Western talkin' on the tomb stone and the Cowboy character next to it saying "Howdy Partners! I'm back in the saddle again!" Makes me wonder.....

Hey y'all. This is my first post, so don't mind the rambling. Here's my thought:

As it was said before, Project 2007 is a HUGE project. Not just coaster(s). Let's not forget the age old theory of the Breakers Boardwalk. So why not take a huge chunk of lang (old WWL) and ship Bearstein Bear Country (or whatever) over yander. Shuffle in a few new flats, restaurants, and a kiddie coaster or two, and save some land for a family oriented coaster. No aquatrax, no soaker. But the ability for people on the SRF bridge to "shoot" water at the coaster as it passes by during a helix just above the water. So why start construction early '06? Take care of this area first because it needs the most work (ride/tree removal, footer pouring, moving CP&LERR track, etc) and work on the Boardwalk in '09/'10. After all, that's where WC will be headed (just a theory), plus an out and back woodie like GL's BD. Remember, they've got the next 2-3 years planned out. They'll be signing contracts for '09 coasters right when we figure out '07 (if we can).

That's enough crap out of this guys mouth. No belittle me like there's no tomorrow.

I believe water will be involved with P2007.

MrScott

Well I believe WWL's station will be torn down for P2007.

I hate to say this, but I like the idea of WWL station being used for on-ride photo/souvenir stand.

I would like to see the WWL station to be a picnic/sitting area. It would be a nice place to sit in the shade!

Tony and Tyler are obviously getting ready to announce Project 2007. The next week or two will be interesting.

I wonder if they synced this with the begining of track instalation, which look like will come soon.

Perhaps, but it may take them longer than you think to "get ready".

That is pretty cool. Nice observation!

Has anyone thought about the fact that "10-gallon hat" might be a clue regarding water?
