Rougarou teaser video

Even when the most obvious thing turns out to be true, and is confirmed, people still expect something different. Not sure what to do with that.

I say they're adding more track to it. *fingers crossed for more inversions! (heartline roll specifically)*

Never mind the fact that the park has explicitly stated that the coaster layout would not change.

Some people just can't admit defeat.. Meanwhile, I'll wait patiently for my LSM-launched B&M flying coaster, which will likely never come (anywhere, not just Cedar Point). Sigh.

I read today, moved by people still hoping in vain for things previously stated as not happening, they are going to paint the thing yellow, reduce the trains to one car with one row of seats and instead call the ride Short Bus.

Also, they are going to remove all inversions and change the layout to a straight track extending through a tunnel under the water of the lagoon that descends into a salt cavern 500 feet down powered by rockets. The car will feature a seat that spins on a gimbal head-over-heels.

And so Cedar Point will obtain the first 500, rocket powered, sub-merged and sub-terrain coaster, with 1500 inversions.

And in 20 years after the whole of Cedar Point has sunk into lake Erie around it, they'll repaint it, change the cars to stand-ups, and rename it Mantis.

18 people in Ohio will then complain as to why they didn't build a dark ride.

All this and they still won't have Carp with lasers on their heads.

Duh - who wants carp with lasers on their heads? Sharks with lasers is where it is at!

That whole freshwater thing, the sharks don't like it.

Actually I'm told by nobody who knows that the first name for Rougarou was going to be Leap the Carps but since we don't yet have Asian Carp in the lake they didn't go with it.

If they put water in the salt caverns, the sharks will be ok.

Throw me a frickin bone here!

how about salt licks?

Just get a Bull Shark. It won't last long but it'll be long enough.

Meanwhile, nearly two decades ago....

Not sure if this has already been posted, but the paint job has begun. Just took this from the Dragster line.

You're about 2 weeks late.

Awesome. Lol. Sorry y'all. ;)

The catwalk around the trim brake is painted, and the brake itself seems painted :(. The track spine of that area is still yellow.

Hey it's still a great picture

Hey here is a crazy question. Are they painting the rails of the track? If you watch Dominator from Kings Dominion, the rails are stainless steel and the track is yellow. Is Rougarou going to be the same with the Orange track?

Looking at the renderings... the rails will be painted too!

So for those of you that have been to Cedar Point recently, how much of Mantis/Rougharou has been painted so far?

A lot
