Update: August 18

Ummm Magnum?

SFS, good point (sorta), those return bunny hills do rock this year, and imo Maggie is running the best it has in years, but imo they don't compare to El Torro or RoS at SFNE when it comes to "ejector" air. I would be in heaven if this new coaster has a mix of "floater" air like MF (on a good day), and ejector air like El Torro or RoS. And given the "surprise" of this "new" hill, I still think/hope we get a wing walker.

I think it's going to be a Goliath.

I think it's going to be a Goliath.

Edit: Sorry about that. My computer wasn't moving fast enough and I didn't know I hit the submit button.

I do think it's going to be like a Goliath, but with more twists. It's Cedar Point, so it's always better than the rest somehow!

A bunny hop would be kinda boring dont'ya think? *** Edited 8/19/2006 4:17:40 PM UTC by Zbusta***

I don't know, Zbusta. Bunny hops are boring to look at, but they're fun when you're going over them! ;-)

You guys are way off. It's obvious that this is a jump. http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?a=522 Once airborne, you will clear Meanstreak and fall into lake erie. Then the coastguard will happily fish you out of the water and take you to shore for another mindblowing ride. Would that qualify as a water coaster?

Well, I'm gonna agree with exit. Look at the webcam and you'll see the piece that's there to go up next is definately the top of a hill, not a corkscrew or zero-g.

^ Intamin's zero g rolls don't typically go up and into it like a B&M does. I'm not saying that they won't ever do it that way, but I still say that they'll stick with what works for them.

Not to mention, the "cap" of the hill is sitting right there next to it, and it rounds out and goes downward.

And, no, a bunny hill wouldn't be boring. I personally like them.

yeah i know I like bunnyhops too but, everyones got bunnyhops! and that sure wouldn't be any different from the rest. But a ZGR, that would be a nice change of pace. But it was just a thought. If I wanted bunnyhops I'll ride magnum. and it doesn't matter what I want.

Not to mention the four support beams just to the left of the "cap" piece on the webcame. They are all the same length and would fit nicely on the V-shaped supports that are next to the incline.

Looks like some air-time.

I can't see crap on that webcam!!!

Good, because if there was crap in that webcam, it would make it harder to see construction.

Nice. ;-)

I can't see anything from the rain on that webcam! How's that, smart ass?!? LOL

I'm going with Exit on this one. I don't believe its a drop. I think the supports would be more robust if it was a drop. There's less force on the track if the train was heading UP that piece. And, from the supports they have there, I feel the direction of the train will be going up rather than down that piece.

me too^

^^Ditto.

I feel the same that the train would be going up, but it would still be neat if it was heading down, but I guess we'll have to wait until they finish that hill that they're making. I'm anxious to see if that building that they are constructing is a shed for a LIM Launch. I mean that's my guess of what that building is going up. I just thought of something, they could add a launch in the old White Water Landing station, that would be neat.

In This picture http://www.pointpixels.com/4images/details.php?image_id=7902 If this was going to be a drop for a bunny hill wouldnt the top piece be curving down at the top like in this picture. http://www.rcdb.com/ig699.htm?picture=1 .Just an idea.

This picture seem strange to me .Wonder what's it is for. http://www.pointpixels.com/4images/details.php?image_id=7852
