Stupid Question

LuvRaptor's avatar
Be kind to me, remember I am a blonde by choice ok? What I noticed about the design of WT (and S-UE too) is that the train itself is on an independant "beam" (for lack of the proper word) which is "shot" up the towers. I noticed while riding S-UE that depending on where you sat depended on whether you "twisted" at all. You will notice on many of the pictures of this design ride that forementioned "beam" stays STRAIGHT even though the towers spiral. So I guess my question here is if WT will actually "twist" all on the train or will it again depend on where you sit and or which way you're going?
I myself can't wait to ride this thing..
then I'll be on Raptor :)

Just depends on where you sit. The total amount of twist between the two towers will exactly the same no matter where you sit, it's just that you'll get more on one tower than the other. So if you sit in the back, you'll get nearly the entire twist on the rear because you'll climb most of it, but very little on the front because you don't travel that far up the tower.

This may have been adressed, but do you think Cedar Point will let you sit were you want or do assigned seating?

I hope they will allow you to wait for the front and back seats, and then every other seat will be assigned. From the pictures, it appears that WT's station is a little roomier than MF's.

I think it may depend on a lot of things like the number of people wanting to ride and crowding the station and stuff like that but who know wahat CP is going to do.

My thinking on the assigned seating is maybe CP is going to wait to see what the GP plans on doing about waiting. Remembering the rider capacity here, the wait for front or back (which ends up being front or back too-make sense?)
will be horribly long. When MF 1st opened I remember on AAA day the lines for the front and back cars were WAY too long. I think that CPs decision of assigned seating was only when they saw the reaction? My guess would be that it might depend too on the design of the loading station if it can handle alot of extras waiting on the front or back car.
Just my guess

I'm now having Raptor "crowd control" flash backs-BLECH! My LEAST fav position!! :(

I'd guess they're going to do it just like they did for MF last year. Allow front and back seat queuing, everything else assigned. From the looks of it, WT's station looks fairly small and I'd guess there's only going to be one trainload waiting in there (i.e. count them in like at MF) at least for the first season or two. I don't think you'll see it like Magnum or Raptor with the platform packed. Just over a week until we find out though!
