Why is this not a possibility?

It appears closer together because of the angle of the picture.

Yeah, it does seem that it could launch upwards and into something vertically oriented [top hat, dive loop, immelman, etc.] I don't think they'd need supports of that size for a brake run, but you never know. Too much speculation - not enough answers!!!

Sweet Pic... Man-o-man this is getting intresting....

Is it August yet????

Thankfully, no. :)

It could be because of the angle or it might not. I also wouldn't think that it'd be a hill with brakes or whatever you call it because it looks like it has a banked turn after the rising supports and I shutter to think about coming right out of a banked turn and going down into the brakes. I'd really like to know what they plan on doing with that giant hole in the ground lol. I will definately make plans to go back to the Point for my second time next season.

And it was because of the angle. It still could be an upward launching coaster. Well hopefully if there's inversions on this coaster, they use the same headrests that's on TTD for better comfort.

Well, that wasn't exactly my thinking, but I'll have to agree with you there. :)

Why is this not a possibility?

...because you touch yourself at night.

Hmm, thats an interesting shot, it could be for a brakerun considering Intamins can brake going downhill, like Storm Runner. Also, what's up with the set of footers right next to it? Dueling/racing coasters perhaps? Also, if it is a wingwalker train setup, it seems that there would be track/supports to close to each other.

What's wrong with putting in another mega...S:ROS has the number 2 spot in the world. It and millennium are both equally good and the designs are not even close to eachother...

Well, Port Adventura already announced what their coaster is going to be. Perhaps Intamin was only talking about announced? I have no idea. My question is: How many coasters does it take for a ride type to move from prototype to a regular? Because, Intamin could not be counting this as a prototype if they really already have one announced, and if it only takes one coaster to go from a prototype to regular.

That might be very confusing to understand... *** Edited 7/24/2006 3:00:27 PM UTC by grizzeg***

Hi Guys .I found a new web site that tells sumthing new about the new coaster going in at cedar pont in 2007 check it out it has new clues.its www.coaster.net .Check it out .

What new information is there at RCDB? It says something about the signs (old) and Cedar Point hiding the track under blue tarps (also old).

The Cartoon Channel is more interesting.

Ok guys im sorry i was just trying to help out.I just never seen that web sitie before .I am very very excitied about this ride.Am though i might never get there to ride sorry to get off topic.Just trying to help.

Also i was looking whats uder that blue terp .If you would look close it looks like there is square pieces of metal plate sticking through the tarp.I dont think its bozes.But im going to get shot down with this thought but what the heck .We dont live forever.Any ways this is a free country.

Typing along with proper english, however, is a mandate of this free country. ;)

I just realized that under Cedar Point's roster, it says that the new one is a sit-down. That's a bit of a hint; it's not a flying one or anything that swings out.

Am I late on the uptake?

Sit-down is what is listed by default.

Even though I think we can say with almost 100% certainty that this will be using standard Intamin trains (I.E. sitting, with a floor, and a T-bar, OTSR if inverting).
