Were going in a whole new direction idea

Cedar Point will NEVER give out Hot Dogs. Sell them for $5.00, yes. "Give" them out for free, no.

Will they give out hot dogs to roast before you get on?

When has Cedar Point ever given you anything other than a park map? ;)

They give out water.

I think that's only because they can't charge for tap water. I'm suprised they don't charge 4 bucks for a cup, though.

Okay, water and a park map? ;)

Oh! Apparently the Mantis crew gives a free insult comedy routine.

Hey, they also like to give us all something to do by building new things and not telling us what's going on!

Free water is great. lol
I went up to the Dragster grandstands concession in the back and asked for some ice water. Well the girl paused and asked “You want a cup of water??" I know she was just doing her job, but I couldnt help but think to myself "No, I want to pay for some water." I just smiled and said yes please.:)

--Sorry, the correct response is:

"Actually, I want a beer, but since you won't give me that for free, I'll take the water."

thats:

"Actually, I want a beer, but since you won't give me that for free, I'll take the water."

Mr. Connery, you get to select again after that fine display of a complete lack of concentration.

I've found it's a lot of fun to go with a large group of friends, say 20, and go up to a concession stand and ask for 20 cups of water... They stare at you for a moment, and then they get several people to help them fill all the cups with water. :)

If you buy the souvinier(spelling) cup fo you still get free refills?

No. They're a dollar or two.

Take a look at Anaconda at Paramount's King's Dominion in Doswell, VA. Not only does it have a tunnel, it goes under water. It also has a neat effect that gives the appearance the train is diving into the water in the form of water spray. You can't get any higher of a water table than in a lake. This ride was built in the mid 80s I believe so the technology isn't a stretch even by Intamin standards.

Here is a picture of the afore mentioned tunnel. And before anyone blasts me, yes Anaconda opened in 1991.

Having ridden Anaconda last year, I was thinking the same thing B&MDave. The only thing that makes me think that they are not doing something like this is wouldn.t they have poured the tunnel when they drained the swan boat pond earlier in the year and poured the footers? It would only make sense for them to have done it that way.

even if they did that, i don't consider it having "water involved with the ride". going OVER water isn't "involved" with the ride either. mr scott is wrong!! :)

Its not going to go underwater or underground. Here is what its going to do...
1. We will be facing backwards while riding.
2. The hieght will be around raptors height.
3. The speed will be 60ish mph.
4. A couple of inversions
5. Barley any straight track in the whole ride.

I think its going to be in the 200ft range going about 75mph with a bunch of inversions, and like you said barely any straight track(except station)

Water will definatly NOT be involved. But it will go underground...sorta-kinda! You see, it's gonna be a racing/dueling coaster. And during one part of the ride, one train will be going in one direction, while the other train will pass by in the opposite direction. This part of the ride will be half way underground, and be in a "close to, kinda, could be" tunnel type of thing!

Oh, and the lift hills will be 130 feet tall. And approx. 4 inversions.

That is what it WILL be! Sorry Mr. Scott, no water!

I disagree with it going underground. I agree with your mom is too fat to ride TTD (funny name by the way) that it will be backwards.
That's what the "new direction" will be, backwards- not underground.

And no water either. *** Edited 7/6/2006 12:01:04 AM UTC by davey420***
