For the third time now Cedar Point does not build new types of rollercoasters without one being first built at another park. I don't say how any of you can say you want a ride without being on it. Everybody just stop and think for a second. You know how you can feel the heavy G's on your legs. Just imagine that 10 times. I think parks will start to build more and more Intamine coasters, and I really, really like what I see in Setpoint. They are younger company that seem to have some amazinng ideas. About the question of if I would like ot see 2 more B+M. I would have to say no. Maybe one more, a sitdown loooper. To me the whole floorless was just a fad and I don't expect to see Cedar Point got one. Think people Do you just think they sit around at Cedar Point going
"Hey Let's build a new rollercoaster that no other park has any interest in."
Think about it.

Remember, line jumping is NOT a sporting event!
B&M needs to start thinking "two wide". Four wide trains are starting to hurt them. They can't match the intensity of a two wide. I rode Raging Bull last week and I almost fell a sleep. When it comes to coasters, wider is not better.

I'm all for double-wides.
Batman was kind of a let down. I agree that the effect is lost anywhere but the front on a floorless coaster. I'm still pulling for wood.

I loved Batman Knight Flight at SFO enough to put it in my top 5 coasters! I was in the front car but it was AWESOME. Why can't Cedar Point ever build a completely new ride? They always have to wait for someone else. It might be smart but I think if they had something no one else had atendance would be greater.
Cedar Point was the first to use elvator lift, and other new things on Millennium Force. Also the first to break the 200 ft. and 300 ft. barrier

when u think about it Magnum was the first hyper coaster ever put in and MF was the first giga coaster built, so cedar point is not totally against trying something new. If my memory serves me correctly, and it may not, when magnum was put in it was the first large steel coaster without any loops. I also don't agree with the post that says they were going to fall asleep on raging bull. I know it isn't very rough but u can't say the first drop wasn't great and there wasn't airtime through most the ride (all be it the floating kind)
I think its about time CP builds a new type of coaster. They always break record but I think they need a new one. However a lay down coaster would be the fist in the mid-west.

Jeff said he is pulling for wood. Was that a very subtle hint about 2001?
—Just getting anxious
I would like to see a CCI woodie and another Intamin record breaking looper or something but not a floorless.
Inverted standups sound like a visectomy waiting to happen. Mantis did a number on my family jewles, I hate to think what a standing invert would do down there. Re-design that crotch breaker on current B&M standers and I might ride again.
What you do on Mantis, is push the harness down so it barely touches your shoulders, and then press your legs together until the ops lock the restraints. That way not as much bumpiness for your head because your shoulders taking some of the shock, and there is no bumpiness down you know where.
