Beast1979 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 via Facebook: "Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer." So, what does that leave (of more 'major' manufaturers)? Intamin, Premier, Vekoma, Arrow, what else? Arrow is defunct, they were bought by S&S. Quote
CincyMan98 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 It really needs to be a new coaster. I said before they haven't had one since 2007. If next year they don't have one, then that's three years. And for a big, really popular park like that, it'll bring down the visitors. They need something new and interesting. I know Cedar Point has tons of guests but having no new rides is bad. (or no new GOOD rides). Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Not to mention that Six Flags Magic Mountain is getting a new roller coaster for 2010. That would tie them with Cedar Point for the most roller coasters, taking away their "Most roller coasters in the World" record. Before you say the public doesn't care, uh, Cedar Fair does. We all know how much they love records, especially a record like that for their flagship park, I don't see them not doing anything about it. Quote

But, now that you say it, I remember reading that a while back... Quote
TTD Maverick Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 Brewing 2010 sounds like something either in Frontier Town or a water ride. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this, maybe a water coaster? Quote
TTD Maverick Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 ^Where? Not in the last 6 pages at least, not a big deal. Quote

We all know how much they love records, especially a record like that for their flagship park, I don't see them not doing anything about it. And if CP doesn't add something next year, MM might decide to add another coaster in 2011 to go ahead of CP or (more likely) stay tied (CP would more than likely add something in 2011 if not 2010). Also, MM is supposed to be adding a kids area themed to the Wiggles in 2011 (according to Wikipedia ), so they would probably add a kids coaster. So, if CP adds one coaster in the next two years, and MM adds two, they will be ties. I don't see that sitting well with Mr. Kinzel. Quote
corn4ahead Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Why is everything a competition, why cant everyone just be friends?!?!? Quote
Hoeter Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 I second that corn4ahead! Why can't we be friends? Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Two down, one to go. So, I guess CP is the only park left to announce a ride for next year.- from Twitter (twitter.com/cedarpoint) Quote
CincyMan98 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Well CP would automatically have to add a new coaster is MM got ahead of them! If they love records, then they would want to keep that record. And they HAVE to have a new coaster at least by 2011. That would be crazy. 4 years of nothing except for what might be a log flume? Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 They don't have to add one. MM would only be tied with them next year if CP doesn't add something. But, we all know that can't happen . Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 If they are tied, then technically, they can not say "Most roller coasters in the world" Quote
PREMiERdrum Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 If they are tied, then technically, they can not say "Most roller coasters in the world" Just a little rewording, courtesy of some clever marketing folks would remedy that: "Cedar Point: No one has more coasters than us!" Quote
Diamondback96 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 And they could still say, "Amer5ica's Roller Coast" because I'm pretty sure that SFMM is not right next to the Pacific Ocean. Quote
CedarPointer Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 CF is obsessed with records- I have a shirt that calls Mamba the tallest and fastest coaster in the midwest, but they consider CP and KI to be in the midwest as well. (which I do not, but that's another story) Quote
ahank Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Two parks have announced coasters, one location left to announce. So, could this twitter post have confirmed it is a coaster, not a ride? Quote
Beast1979 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Look at Carowinds: The Tallest, Fastest, Longest Coaster in the Southeast! Really....you were that desperate to give it a record..... Quote
Dvo Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 It could be read that way. But it doesn't confirm anything really. 2 down, one to go could mean major holidays in the summer for all we know. Memorial Day and Independence Day are past, Labor Day is coming. Just saying. ^And I kind of agree... but I think it's more of a chance for good marketing than it is to give it a record. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 ^^^I would think so, beings CanW announced some new flats with their Snoopy area, so that would make for three parks having announced rides thus far. But, the Tweet only says two, so... Quote
CincyMan98 Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Cedar Point: "The Most Roller Coasters In The Lake Erie Region!" Quote
Go Browns Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 The Most Roller Coasters in the World* *not including California Quote
PhantomTheater Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 http://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/3605136234 It appears Paddle Wheel Excursions will exist next year, I guess the price of fur is still real good. Quote
maverick2007 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Why is a flume still in consideration? At Screamscape it reports that at the Maverick ride night it was said riders wouldn't get wet. Also there must be some significance to the Y in Whyte Lightning. It must have something to do with the ride because y in white is very unusual. Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 ^^ Them Canfield's & McGee's will still be feudin' down river next year... Okay. Can you explain that? Quote
SonofBeast07 Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 going to cp next week... hopefully i'll be up there for an announcement Quote
Hoeter Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 ^ If you're talking about the Crystal Rock Bottling Company, we've known that for a little while now. Quote
Go Browns Posted August 29, 2009 Posted August 29, 2009 Them Canfield's & McGee's will still be feudin' down river next year... Okay. Can you explain that? The Canfield's & McGee's are two feuding families in the themeing for Paddle Wheel Excursions. It's a play on the legendary family rivalry between the Hatfields and McCoy. Quote
