PREMiERdrum Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Anyone have any idea what this is supposed to mean? Yes. I did it, because Terpy hasn't yet. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Terpy doesn't go there... There's a reason he knows what he knows, and it has nothing to do with running his mouth on Internet sites... Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Terpy doesn't go there... There's a reason he knows what he knows, and it has nothing about running his mouth on Internet sites... I just meant "yes" stating that certainly, somewhere, somebody knows what it means. In typical Interpreter fashion. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Oh, I know what you meant, and found it affirming. Quote
RailRider Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Seems liked Cedar Point is getting the desired results they are looking for with their not so sublte Tweets and Posts. Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 One might ask whoever is behind these posts to... Get to the Point! Quote
TTD-120-420 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 The wheels? check... post was regarding the story in the Sandusky Register today. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/fun/blog/index.cfm New blog, it takes you to the sponsers page, where there is one that isn't an actual company. Apparently the CP marketing department is at it again with these teasers. Quote
RailRider Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 And if you click on the link the URL is, http://www.whytelightning.com/ Very interesting. Quote
Hoeter Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Take a look at that page. Be sure to click on the "Crystal Rock Bottling Company" link, and it comes up with something very interesting. It takes you to a page describing their latest beverage, Whyte Lightning. It can also be found at www.whytelightning.com. Sound familiar? According to Screamscape, that's the rumored name of the coaster coming to Carowinds next season. Cedar Fair is at it again! Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Edit: Which company isn't real (directed to PhantomTheater). I Googled all of them and they all came up as being real. Also, I get what RailRider and Andrew are talking about with the Crystal Rock Bottling Company. Is that what you were talking about (PhantomTheater)? Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Extremely interesting and thought provoking at the least. I think the most interesting points of the page are whYte lightning, spelled with a Y, and the fact that they mentioned the bottled water company is from West Virginia. Anyone know any ride manufacturers from WV? Quote
RailRider Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 I think the most interesting points of the page are whYte lightning, spelled with a Y, and the fact that they mentioned the bottled water company is from West Virginia. Trust me thats not water they are bottling... Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Which is why I said: Anyone know any ride manufacturers from WV? Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 LOL To Jackson: There are steel plants in WV (obviously), but I don't know of any coaster designers based there. I think Intamin has a design place in Maryland or WV, but I believe it's in Maryland (I read that on Carowinds Connection, so it may be wrong). Also, WV is known for moonshine, a.k.a white lightning. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Diamondback FOF look carefully to what you Google, as there is a real Crystal Rock water company, but they are not the CR Bottling Company of WV. Trust me, I made sure of that before I posted. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Where does it say this CR is from West Virginia? Sorry, but my computer messes up and I can't view an entire webpage. Also, I just wasn't sure what you were talking about, but I get it now. Nevermind. It's at the bottom. *dumb computer* Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Hmm... "lightning strikes twYce" at the top of the page. We know pretty well that Carowinds B&M Hyper will be called "White Lightning", and I just thought the "lightning strikes twice" tagline was referencing that this will be the 2nd coaster at Carowinds with have the name. Let's look at: -the teasers for White Lightning at Carowinds were done in a checkered flag / tire marks motif -the media invite for KD's Intamin giga coaster came in the shape of a race car -now CP is teasing WhYte Lightning possibly for their new ride -Cw and KD fans have speculated a NASCAR / Racing theme for their new rides, mainly due to Nascar drivers appearing at the parks on / around the announcement dates This is getting interesting. Could CP just be promoting new rides at the other parks? Or are we going to see a multi ride / same Nascar theme deal in 2010? Quote
RailRider Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 ^ Jeff Gordon is coming to Cedar Point very soon. Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 ^ Jeff Gordon is coming to Cedar Point very soon. Day after tomorrow, to be exact. Quote
DaveStroem Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Well I would not put it past CF to call all 3 new coasters White lightning. It also would not surprise me on bit to have Jeff Gordon make the announcement. It is the season for this kind of thing. Tomorrow is Kennywood, Thursday is Holiday World and the others are scheduled for later this month. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 We know pretty well that Carowinds B&M Hyper will be called "White Lightning", and I just thought the "lightning strikes twice" tagline was referencing that this will be the 2nd coaster at Carowinds with have the name. And most of you were set on the name "Mustang" for Diamondback.... just saying Quote

I have sampled the "White Lightnin" from WV. It is not to be taken lightly Quote

And most of you were set on the name "Mustang" for Diamondback.... just saying Let me clarify... there are plenty of hints and clues that point towards the Carowinds ride being named White Lightning. The web address (whitelightning.carowinds.com) seems to lend credibility, or at the very least the park wants us to think it is. If I were to guess, I would say that Carowinds hyper coaster and a new flume at CP will both be called White Lightning, both themed to moonshine operations / stock cars. I think that Intimidator is a good choice for Kings Dominion, with a more modern Nascar theme. We'll see soon enough. The fact that the Cw and KD announcements are within days of Nascar appearances at the park, and Jeff Gordon's Thursday appearance at CP is quite telling to me. Quote
BeastinNight Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Did anyone else notice the upside down Millennium Force Logo on the bottle?? If you look at the right angle it is exact! Hmmm.... maybe another connection with Millennium Island!?! Quote
violakat03 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Now that you've pointed that out ... that is pretty weird. Though, we could all just be making a lot of something out of a lot of nothing. Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 These clues CF is releasing about all their upcoming projects and maybe the connections with the Whyte Lightning Bottling Co. is truly making this process more and more interesting and entertaining. Us coaster enthusiasts usually know much about rides/coasters before they open but this time CF might keep us guessing the same amount of time the GP is guessing; relatively speaking that is. Quote
PhantomTheater Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 Now that you've pointed that out ... that is pretty weird. Though, we could all just be making a lot of something out of a lot of nothing. Is that not what we do as coaster forum enthusiast, find the littlest thing to make a huge rumor about it. Also, to over analyze little details and try to get more out of something, in which there is ultimately nothing there. Quote
