What I think is going in at Witch's Wheel!

This is Cedar Point. So, I would suggest you think bigger and advocate for the world's tallest grass: bamboo grass.


Tall and fast not so much upside down...

Only someone on this site would conclude that the tiny space that WW will leave must be making room for a 500-foot coaster. As if the park couldn’t have possibly squeezed it in anywhere with WW still present.

Not to mention how ungodly expensive it would be. While the idea is an asskicker in my book, who would build the thing? My money is on Intamin.

My money is on it will never be built.

^ I also was going to bring up another point on who would want to ride it, and if Cedar Fair would get enough money in return from said coaster. You're right though. It won't be built at all, there's so much to consider if we're trying to be realistic here.

The speeds and forces from a 500ft coaster may be more than your body can withstand.

Even a 300 Plus footer would be fine, I think it could be a realistic 'out and back' path with plenty of open space where the hotel used to be to put a big 2020 coaster. A cue line could start where Witches Wheel was and theres plenty of space for a station next to or behind Gemini. My thoughts were... at some point Cedar Point is going to build another 6000 + foot long coaster (either in 2020 or within the next 10 years), so where else can that much track fit?

Who’s to say that the park has to build another 6,000+ foot long coaster? SV does more and has more elements than just about any coaster ever built - it has double the number of elements of the park’s longest coaster, MF, yet it’s considerably shorter. Using the old Sandcastle space for nothing more than a giant turnaround on this mythological 500-footer would be the biggest waste of that space, and CP knows that.
