General Chat / Cedar Point... Intamin again..

Starting? Urgh. I think it's mainly the trains. Not only are they ridiculously uncomfortable, they make the ride rough.

it could be something completely boring, possibly.

Seems there was something mentioned at a teaser at CP about a sidwinding experience, so this might the model of train they could be using: http://www.themepark...topic.php?t=281

^ That looks intersting... The coaster train above track, but the passengers below. Would be fun, and CP could use another invert (not saying Raptor or WT are bad, just inverts are fun and there aren't enough).

I live near there and I saw a commercial the otehr day of Cedar Point with a red invert in it and I didnt understand why.

hmmm...

I was there thursday, shittiest weather I've ever seen at the place. Two or three storms ran through, it rained a lot and we spent the majority of our time wondering around looking for rides worth waiting for that were open. I got in one ride on Millennium Force and 'Dragster respectively, that was pretty much it (couple small flats, seriously considered Max Air and was only 1 ride cycle away from riding Skyhawk when lightning started and the skys opened up).

Anyway the whole log flume area is complete construction, a good number of the footers in the area look very fresh and things certainly look good. God I hope all the attention getting focused out on the end of the point results in Mean Streak getting a retracking and a removal of brakes. Even better would be if they hire Great Coasters to do exactly that plus put millennium flyer trains on it. Suddenly MS would be a top ten wooden coaster insted of the dud it is now.

Anyway I felt like I needed to get that out.

I thought the same thing. Does Cedar Fair own any parks with red B&M inverts?

Silver Bullet @ KBF has red track I believe...

^Only on the lift hill.

Well maybe they just showed it so it looked like a red invert. It may have been just part of the Max Air though. I'm not sure.

has cp ever built a prototype? I'm saying this is an aquatrax given the area, ride removed, and the whole thing with thrill parks trying to be more familyish while ironically disney is adding coasters. Its not going to be themed nearly as well as its predecessor but will be nice and have a high capacity. In terms of family rides, it will definitely hold the longest line in the park for years to come, and being over water will require a new paint job in less than 4 years. Soon, another CF park such as knotts will be building a similar, yet smaller and crappier version, in their park and then it will be the craze and sf will even start adding some. still el toro will kick its ass, but who's ass won't be kicked by it?

Well, there is Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm and Patriot at Worlds of Fun... And then there is Steel Venom at Geauga Lake.

Tatsu?

It'd be refreshing to see an Intamin invert, actually. Though knowing CP, it'll be another extreme variation with constant breakdowns because it doesn't scale up right.

I'd be willing to bet that The Voyage is a better ride than El Toro will be.

The coaster in the CP video is Silver Bullet, the track on SB is all red with yellow on the sides of the spine. And on the lift it is just all red.
