correct me if I'm wrong, but cedar Fair usually likes to test it's rides at smaller parks, then build the upgraded version at other parks. they had other arrow corkscrews before corkscrew debuted, but the one at CP was the first top go upside-down three times. They had other intamin inverted impulses, but they opened wicked twister as the tallest, fastest, and first to have a twist on the back spike. Xcelerator was the first Intamin nrocket coaster, but dragster was opened ass the tallest, fastest and steepest....
I hope that sums it up.

Enough allready lets drop the BS.
I think that the Unicoaster looks pretty darned cool. The one thing I wonder about is the stress on the shaft / wheel interface.

Although it's not happening, I'd still like one I guess. It looks like an uncontrolled four-dimension coaster. I'd ride
I don't beleive I said anything about MF having a prototype, it was the ifrst to have a cable lift, but other than that, Intamin megas or hypers were, I guess you could argue the prototype for millenium, the first and only intamin Giga.

Dear everyone-"Prototype" still doesn't mean "first." A prototype is something used to test ideas and demonstrate functionality.

Somehow, no one seems to understand this.
This unicoaster looks very much like the one that was supposed to be installed at Hersheypark and never came to be. Looks like crap to me.
It looks like a reberth of a VEKOMA (in case you've never heard this before: Very Extreme Kicking Of My ..... well you can figure it out). Anyway I don't think Cedar Point would put anything experimental in their park after TTD especially somthing thats still in prototype. Were not beta testers!

haha.
I like to beta test stuff.
I beta tested Socom for the PlayStation Portable.
Fun stuff.

Definately not. That coaster doesn't look appealing at all. It does look like a mix between the once-to be Hershey Park coaster and a 4D.
Thrills Around the Corner!
I heard that hersheypark was supposed to be building a coaster in 2007 to celebate an aniversery/ i heard this from an employee in may. if you go there around the entrance of Wildcat and Lighting Racer. there will be an area marked off and it says. Special Attraction coming in 2007. Wait this is a CP bog! :) I'll shut up now.
