RMC Streak Photo Update - May 7, 2017

I really hope the name is RailBlazer first. Second, I hope it is a traditional drop like the artist's rendering.

Anyone seen CGA's latest 2018 teasers? Because I'm starting to think that "Railblazer" will be for their new coaster, and not for MS2 like so many people are thinking.

Railblazer! I think we can say that this will be the new name. http://womc.cbslocal.com/2017/07/19/behind-the-scenes-big-changes-t...t-classic/
Kinda says it all. Pretty cool.

They also trademarked the name Centurion how many years ago? And it still has not been used. So who knows.

Paint Maverick, it looks terrible. And painting a 100' ride does not deserve a media post.

For a ten year old coaster that's right by the water I don't think the paint is that bad at all. Its faded yes, but its really not that rusty. I know of coaster about the same age that are way worse looking.

Centurion cool name. But does not relate to frontier themes. Plus trying to tie that to "they are coming" all a fun mystery

Gemini is very underrated. One of the best roller coasters in the park, lots of fun when the trains are racing too.

it was top three for coaster when my wife and I where there a few weeks ago. Very fun ride. I didn't realize its 40 years old till I looked up all the specs on the CP coasters.

Desperadoes. Old west American outlaws. Hmmm They... check Stetson hard helmets.... check old time wanted posters.... check. This is my guess.

Ok take back Desparado. There is a coaster in Nevada casino named that already.

Ride operator: "You are about to ride the tallest, the fastest, and the steepest coaster ever built.........in 1978."

Tallest in 1978: Loch Ness Monster (130 feet)

Fastest in 1978: Screamin' Eagle (62 MPH)

Basically Gemini never broke any records when it opened, except for maybe steepness. I don't know about that one.

So what's Tony up to with someone being able to "see" what's coming in 2018 first (via Twitter)?

(he put the see in quotations, not I, which is also curious to some degree).

My guess is the park cams will be pointed at Railblazer.

Eh, it sounds like a contest of some sort. We're supposed to find out details today.

Agreed to the contest.

Last I checked, you can't see CGA from the top of Power Tower. ;)

I'm glad to hear that there will be a renovation of Frontiertown next year. I was just at Silver Dollar City yesterday, for the first time, and I gotta say, if Cedar Point can produce half the complexity and detail in Frontiertown as there is in SDC, they will have a winner.

Perhaps VR?

Welp......that is a direct quote heard over the loudspeakers from a few years ago while we were standing in the station. Must not train their employees very well, then.

But they could move the Lake Erie Eagles in the infield and really cheese out.

Why don't you come to your senses?
