Orion742

This looks fantastic! I find it funny that every dive coaster in the chain has orange track. 4 inversions is way better than I expected! Love the theme! The beyond vertical drop looks awesome.

I have heard that Knotts may make an announcement tomorrow. No news on that?

Did any other CF parks tweet about an announcement tomorrow as well?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEFQGCWoEhs All will be revealed tomorrow…

I don’t think a RMC is likely but it would be top 3 best fit for the park. My last post was about the top 3 best fits for KI anything else would be good but wouldn’t be the top 10 worthy coaster we need. I’m sure CF sees how successful Steel Vengeance was even with all of the issues it had. So it’s still a possibility even though a slim chance.

Sadly I am thinking it may be 2026 for our next coaster. I really was hoping for 2025 but it is looking less likely by the day. 2024 is CP and Dorney for the new coasters. Maybe Carowinds gets either a water ride or SRR. Knotts looks like a kids area upgrade. I think we’ll see a new water slide in Soak City for 2024. Then I think in 2025 Carowinds and Canada’s wonderland will see new coasters and KI will get a Camp Snoopy update. Then in 2026 I think we will finally see our next coaster. I think there are 3 types of coasters that we need next that would be outstanding. Everything else would be good but these 3 types would probably be the best in the park. Number 1: Ground up RMC. Number 2: Mack xtreme spinner. Number 3: Intamin or Zamperla multi launch.

Anyone know why Orion is closed today?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VChk0N0P8WU Seems Dorney is going all out on the theming for this ride. At least I hope so. 4 days remaining.

Maybe like @WoodVengeance said Xcelerator at Knotts but after that I don’t see anymore coasters that Zamperla would work on. However, If Top Thrill 2 goes well I do see Zamperla building ground up multi launch coasters for the Cedar Fair chain.

Love the name! Looks like the ride will have some good theming! Glad to finally see new gen Vekoma making there way to the United States!

11am Est.

Has the park tweeted what time to expect the announcement?

Or replace FAAC with a new gen Vekoma inverted model like Dragonflier. That would be amazing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvgulgQfl30 I still don’t know what the theme is here.

Are you talking about the Banshee scream at the top of the lift? I don’t remember hearing music on any of my rides before.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqjnbE0uY8U&pp=ygUTZG9ybmV5IHBhcmsgY2hhbm5lbA%3D%3D The teasing continues…

Dorney park has posted a teaser for what’s to come in 2024. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw1FhuFzmIQ&pp=ygUTZG9ybmV5IHBhcmsgY2hhbm5lbA%3D%3D

I wonder if the trains back on site will be used for some sort of theming for the new ride. The theme could be something like Dragsters Revenge. We’ll have to find out on August 1st!

I wonder if other CF parks are planning to announce their 2024 additions on the 1st as well.

Did Tony tweet about it?

That’s what I originally thought but looking back at the first OO tweet RMC said “coaster teaser”

Do you think RMC will tweet OO every day until they announce it?

This is me just speculating but just hear me out. Arie Force One was a ground up Ibox coaster from RMC that took 2 years to build. If we would get a ground up Ibox it would probably take 2 years to build as well. So maybe they could be announcing it early. One more thing, 30 days from yesterday falls on August 10th.@FUN&ONLY! mentioned yesterday that August 10th could be the day Cedar Fair makes the 2024 season announcements.

Has anyone heard the specific date when Cedar Fair will make their announcements for the 2024 season? In past years it is around the first or second week of August.

Has anyone here ridden SRR at CW to give us a review?
