Update: August 15

Am I the only one who thinks the wing walker at PA is very very boring looking? And the fact that you will be so far away from the center of rotation that the ride will be somewhat painfull? Im gonna go out on a limb and say that there will not be very many of those built in the future.

And no, its not the camera angle, go to the park and see first hand how close those supports are to each other.

How are gun shots hard to explain? Theres a skeleton with a gun, and when you hear the gun shot smoke comes out of the gun. Not that hard of explanation, especially if you've explained firearms safety to your kids.

What's firearms saftey?

It seems like more people should learn it a little better before they're permitted in a firing range. There's one near me that I won't go to anymore because too many people load their guns before they get up to the firing line, and that's NOT cool with me.

Not to mention, that skeleton's finger is always on the trigger. That's not very safe.:)

Jik95 - unfortunately I live in Boston, and won't be at the park again until September. I respect everyone's opinion given I can't go see it first hand.

I too agree that wing walker at PA looks boring with the exception of the barrel roll, but think it looks far more exciting than an Aquatrax, which looks like a big version of a wild mouse.

I too think it's going to be an Aquatrax (reluctantly - tbh).

I dont think its going to be an Aquatrax, I think it will be more like desert race being built at Heide Park in Germany.

exit - I went to one a couple months ago by me. Really nice place with a 25 yard indoor range. I noticed 0 problems with anyone there (no dumbasses mishandling firearms). Cost me 40 bucks for 100 rounds, range time and firearm rental (sadly, I don't own my own yet, but I'm looking to change that.) Still havent' decided what to get though. Torn between M9 and M&P.

RyanNRobert, how crowded was it yesterday?
I'm going tomorrow and hope it's not too bad because I only get out once a year.

It was PACKED. The parking lot was almost full. MF, TTD, Raptor, all over an hour long wait. EVERYTHING had a wait, including Gemini having it's queue likes full. We waited 45 minutes for Mean Streak, 20 minutes for corkscrew. It was bad.

Man, am I the only one that thinks Floorless is hot?

Have you guys had your vision checked recently?

OK, not good.

Oh yeah Loopy, she's gorgeous.
She may be a little out of my league though.

I think a floorless would be.. pretty?

AYYYYIIEEE!!!!! (that´s my joyful way of expressing myself).

Just got home from work, just to drewl over another GREAT UPDATE!! Thank you guys for doin such a fine job. Damn, another awesome coaster (I´m sure, very sure) at Cedar Point!! I wish I could be there myself to see it, it just seems so unreal in pictures. Maybe living across the Atlantic is the cause of that, I dunno. But I am GOING next year! I can´t survive another "Cedar Point off-year"... :)

I really dont think (or hope!!) so. Desert race is an exact clone of "Rita - Queen of Speed" at Alton Towers, just with a slightly different ending (HeidePark don´t have a Corkscrew to avoid). And imho, Rita is not worth reriding. I´m confident that Cedar Point has come up with something way better than that!

I'm going to go ahead and just rule out BOTH of those for the sake of not building 2 consecutive rockets..

Jugga get the M&P. It's awesome. That's the next firearm I wish to purchase once I get the cash together.

I walk into the range with my gun loaded.. whats wrong with that? ;)

I still say it's gonna be named cyclone...

I still can't believe that they're putting up track as quickly as they are, and there are still so many supports to be put up. It would be very interesting to see the timetable of construction, after it's completed.
