Does anybody really think this will be anything other than a water ride/log flume?

I highly doubt a coaster painted Red is going to be called White Lightning. Then again I have seen stranger things.

A lot of us keep looking for the tie with Morganton WV, a lot of little things, a few steel plants, moonshine, but a lot of overlooking about it's big claim to fame. Never repeated anywhere the Morganton Personal Rapid Transit System is rather unique http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morgantown_Pe...l_Rapid_Transit I think it holds the clues. Especially in the way the system operates.

What is so unique about that?

Well, the only other one around is in California, near California's Great America, and named BART...

I was going off of this statement on WiKi

"An experiment in new public transportation methods at the time, it has now operated with good reliability for over thirty years, though it has not been replicated elsewhere to date"

But hey BART seems very similar so I dunno, either way I think it has something to do with it.

Both were funded at the same time and were demonstration projects. They share technologies. Yet another example of why Wikipedia is not the most reliable of sources...

For what it's worth, I found a picture of the Crystal Rock Castle at CP on an old postcard...

In the 20s, the location was turned into a sandwich shop since alcohol couldn't be served under prohibition. The building was turned into a maitenance shop in the early 50s and demolished in 1960.

Look at this tweet convo between Anonymous and CP

Anonymous "@cedarpoint can't wait to see what's new for next year! ill be at Cedar Point in less than 2 months for halloweekends=D"

CP "@anonymous You'll know the details by then!"

Huh. I wonder when they will set an official date. Maybe afetr Kd's and CarW's coasters are announced?

And what about this?

Laboring over these 2010 plans is exhausting!

Does this mean this ride's going to be huge or unique?

Or possibly (hopefully) both!!!

Terpy, who has said 2 much...or something...

I think it might mean that they will be making their announcement Labor Day weekend.

KD: 1 CW: 2 CP: 3

This one's a real brain teaser.

KD's is tallest, CW's is second tallest, and CP's is third tallest.

announcement order:

1st kd

2nd cw

3rd cp

Anybody wanna place bets that the new ride will have OTSRs?

Perilous Plunge?

Anybody wanna place bets that the new ride will have OTSRs?

For which one?

This one was pretty straight forward:

Definitely NOT taking the Beemer out for a spin today. Or next year for that matter.

"Definitely NOT taking the Beemer out for a spin today. Or next year for that matter."

Twitter quote from today. Although I was secretly hoping for a B&M flyer it looks like the new ride won't be a beemer of any kind. I'm pretty much settled on the idea thats its a water ride with some stupid gimick like Perlious plunge or Journey to Atlantis at Seaworld SA.

This means GCI then. CP would not hype up a freaking water ride would they?

Why not? Its their job to hype up whatever they have. They aren't going to say "just a crappy new water ride. you should probably just go to KD this year."

Why not? Holiday World did. If it's record breaking or a major ride, then I don't see why they wouldn't.

And where does the GCI come from? Have we ruled out all other manufacturers?

Jackson, hopping it's a GCI too, but trying to be realistic.

well, i was just thinking out loud sorry, but i dont ever remember CP hyping up rides like Skyhawk and MaxAir.

no apology necessary we are just chattin. Now I'm gonna go do my GCI Dance and stick a needle in a voodoo water ride doll.

How does the GCI dance go? I want to join.

well, i was just thinking out loud sorry, but i dont ever remember CP hyping up rides like Skyhawk and MaxAir.

They didn't have a Twitter account back then.

ok so you're all pretty much instantly crossing B&M off your list...why? they said NOT a beemer. this instantly makes me think it will be one. if they built everything they didn't say it wouldn't be, then they'd get like one of everything. this is the first one they said they wouldn't get. so they should get it.     did that make sense?
