Pillsberry123 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Did you forget the comments about there being more to thrill rides than roller coasters, and that it will appeal to teens? ^ I don't see how a new coaster doesn't appeal to teens. Just because Dick Kinzel said that there's more to thrill rides than roller coasters doesn't mean that it won't be a coaster. If I'm correct, he said that the new 2010 ride "won't get you wet." Of course he meant that "It won't get you wet, it will get you soaked." It could very well be another one of those statements where he means the complete opposite of what he says... ...Look at the times he's said that he will retire, yet it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.

Guest Millennium Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Did you forget the comments about there being more to thrill rides than roller coasters, and that it will appeal to teens? ^ Did you forget Aquatrax? Did you forget that was tweeted? And CP was throwing out clues just to mess with people at that point. You all want a coaster so you make yourself think it will be.

I don't know, the evidence is pointing at a coaster at the moment. You can't take everything that Dick Kinzel says by heart. Again, he said that the 2010 addiction "Won't get you wet." Either way, there are markings in that area and flags around Ocean Motion that extend out into the beach. I say that there's a 70% chance for a new coaster in 2011.

Browntggrr Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Did you forget the comments about there being more to thrill rides than roller coasters, and that it will appeal to teens? ^ Did you forget that hints and clues are just hints and clues. If they came out with the actual exact information, they would not be hints and clues anymore, just the announcement of the actual ride. What is the fun in that?

GrandsonofBeast Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Cedar Fair has registered "Stratosoar" with US patents and trademarks. That sounds like a killer name for a huge Star Flyer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandsonofBeast Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 There's an ungoing discussion going on at Pbuzz. Lots of people saw the link on the US patent site, which is now MIA. There are other sites confirming it as well....http://newsplusnotes.blogspot.com/2010/08/all-way-up-into-stratosoar.html EDIT Here is the LINK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Stratosoar? Really, that is the name of a ride at one of 11 CF parks? I don't like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if the "Strata" portion of the name would refer to the height? (a la Strata Coaster = 400') A 400' Star Flyer? It seems to fit with most of Dick's clues... Interesting.

Pillsberry123 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I personally don't like the name at all, nor do I see it "appealing to the teenage market". A kiddie coaster for the Valleyfair expansion? At least I hope so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTCO Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 The teen market won't care what you name it. As long as its big and exciting the teen market will love it. I know this for a fact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyMan98 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hm. The whole "Strata" thing is weird. Why would a coaster be named Strata, dot dot dot, and not be a strata coaster? I doubt Cedar Point would build another over 400 foot ride though. Too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillsberry123 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hmm, this would work for just about everything Dick Kenzel has said... A ride like that would appeal to the teen market (despite the fact that the name is as awful as sin), it brings back memories (to an extent), and it would be considered a thrill ride. Would it fit in the area of the park where all of the construction markets are? Yes. I could see this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjkjkj Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 That ride looks pretty intense! Especially being that high up in the air! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
