gforce1994 2319 Posted May 14, 2018 Markers have been placed at CP around Magnum entrance, and they extend all the way to the Monster. I’m curious what they are doing. 2 of the images come from Coaster Nation that I took. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fyrfyter 1111 Posted May 14, 2018 Red marker flags like that are usually for utilities. Red means electric. Judging by the paint marks and that “PAD52” junction box, I’d suspect they are going to update and relocate some things. Most companies don’t want junctions and transformers just out in the open anymore. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It not good for enthusiast and coaster sites to see a few flags in the grass (which is probably just normal electrical maintenance) and start leading their members and followers to thinking that means heavy construction and possible moving rides to a different park. When happens to your claims when it turns out to not be true? 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rumor is that for the 2020 season (CP’s 150th) CP would insert two coasters to tie SFMM Coaster count. It’s a bizarre rumor, which I don’t believe will be true. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

silver2005 24931 Posted May 14, 2018 For the umpteenth time , the coaster wars of the late 1970's through early 2000's were pretty much dead once SIX filed for bankruptcy. It's not a thing anymore. CP couldn't care less what happens in Valencia, CA. Kinzel isn't involved anymore, that mindset is gone. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick44 7636 Posted May 14, 2018 I mean has coaster wars really died? It just seems like inter CF coaster wars now though. No other parks outside of CF are building like crazy. I could see CF try to recapture tallest and fastest again....... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
