TTD Maverick Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 When is the possible announcement? Also, is there a chance we won't get ANYTHING next year? That would be very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTCO Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Posted just a few minutes ago on Cedar Points Facebook page: We're getting closer to our 2010 announcement. We narrow down the list of possibilities this week. Link: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/cedarpoint?ref=nf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corn4ahead Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Aquatrax??? Not in 2010... from CP twitter Not an Aquatrax, YES! this makes me happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 So far, the thinga maybe having to do with 2010: -Aquatrax? -Gee, See Eye!! -A foot here...a foot there...a foot everywhere... -I prefer my lunch TOGO...especially when there's lightning around. -witnessed many people enjoying the intamin settting of the park at sunset... -Crystal Rock Bottling Co. and whytelightning.com -Harnesses? Check. Wheels? Check. -Laboring over these 2010 plans is exhausting! -KD: 1 CW: 2 CP: 3 -In 2010, we'll be celebrating an attraction's 17th birthday. The ride hasn't asked for much, so we'll just go ahead and not make it a big deal. -Definitely NOT taking the Beemer out for a spin today. Or next year for that matter. -Narrowing down the possibilities this week: -Aquatrax??? Not in 2010... Okay. I think I got everything. I thought this would make it easier to remember everything that has been posted so far. So, there were five ride designers, I wonder if four will be eliminated and then the fifth will be the correct one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD-120-420 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Labor Day weekend is the supposed announcement date. I'm going log flume still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedarAfairs Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 As much as I don't want it to be a flume, I think thats what it is too. I guess we will find out soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTD Maverick Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 DANG IT! I don't go to Cedar Point to ride a fricken LOG FLUME!!! Ugg. I know it isn't confirmed but it is pretty obvious. For the first time, you disappointed me Point. I don't care if it's "record breaking" I WANT A COASTER!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD Maverick Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 CP said it would be a family ride. No big coaster that means. Everyone is guessing it. Just mark my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well if they don't have a coaster next year than that's crazy. They haven't had one since 2007. Although I was thinking - Cedar Point will run out of room to build! Because of being on a peninsula, there's not so much room. I don't expect anything like a big, gigantic, coaster. Maybe something twisted/maybe something like Flight of Fear. But hopefully not a log flume! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 They really need a Flight of Fear type ride but I highly doubt the will ever get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next to Millennium Island there is plenty of room, along with near Frontier Town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 CP said it would be a family ride. No big coaster that means. Everyone is guessing it. Just mark my words. Many could consider a great variety of coasters "family rides", from Blue Streak to Wildcat, Gemini or even Corkscrew. I have even heard GCI's being considered family coasters... They really need a Flight of Fear type ride but I highly doubt the will ever get one. They do have one. It's called Disaster Transport.

Coasterfun Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 After visiting Knott's, I was thinking they may add rides similar to Sidewinder or Pony Express. Both are small and would probably fit on Millennium Island and would be considered family coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Screamscape this morning: (8/25/09) During a special ERT event at Maverick the other night a few new hints about the 2010 project were mentioned. People were told that it would be a “family friendly attraction” and that the riders wouldn’t get wet. Still… there is a new persistent rumor going around that the new ride is water related somehow. Not getting wet....yay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I still think the new ride will be very similar to Vliegende Hollander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gad198 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I still think the new ride will be very similar to Vliegende Hollander. That's definitely an interesting theory, as they only said it wouldn't get you wet (and not, it won't be a water ride). The only thing that I could see against that theory would be the 20 million euro price tag (>$23.5 million dollars, and that was at the low end in 2006). I can't see them spending that kind of cash on an attraction like that. I also couldn't see them (Cedar Fair) spending $25 mil on each of the KD and Carowinds coasters and then shelling out additional heavy cash for this.

Diamondback FOF Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Well, CF is supposed to be spending between $80 milion and $90 million for enxt season... So, if CarW, KD, and CP each got $25 million rides, that's still short of what they were expecting. Edit: I think that looks like a very fun ride.

I'm wondering if the retheming of the NCs and NU into Planet Snoopys will come out of CapEx budget? That will eat up a chunk of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
