Diamondback FOF Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Huh. Interesting thinking RailRider. I like having wiki at school for my iPod Touch on days like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 ...But at least one astute amusement park observer, Gary Slade, publisher of Amusement Today, who refused to disclose in detail what he knows, was fairly emphatic about what it won't be. "If it's what I think it is — and I'm nearly 100 percent sure of this — it won't be another roller coaster," Slade said Tuesday from offices of the Arlington, Texas-based publication whose yearly poll has ranked Cedar Point the world's top amusement park for 11 straight years. "You're not going to see a Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster," Slade said. "This is still going to be a very marketable ride designed for families to enjoy together."

Go Browns Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I like this a lot. Don't get me wrong I loves me some twisted wooden coaster but this looks like a great addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Over the shoulder lap bars. Must be the new preferred Intamin restraint for all rides. I must say the final splashdown looks really nice and I can only think the cost is so high because of the themeing or rock work that is being done.
