PhantomTheater Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That logo was used in variants through the 1960's, it's main claim to fame was the years around CP's centennial celebration in 1970. In the 70's the 1870 was replaced by the Giant wheel logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Or maybe a new eatery, I will swap a new ride at KI for Pepsi products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Authentic Steamboat tours around the park on Lake Erie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sparky I do not know if you were kidding about that but I happen to think that would be a wonderful idea for the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Honestly, it was a true shot in the dark, after reading a bit about the early history of the park and finding out that the first "ride" at the park was the Steamboat "Young Reindeer" that Louis Zistel used to bring guess to CP in the Summer of 1870.

Dbfan Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I wonder how long this will take. They could drop 1 hint a day and have this last a week, or drop 1 hint a week and this could take awhile and build lots of hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 They said a Mid-August announcement, so I wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arichmann Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Here's the profile pic on Facebook. just something to think about..... if you look at the question marks each one is a different font, but if you look closely at some of them, you can tell that some are a font of certain ride logos. for example.....the bottom right hand corners' question mark looks like it belongs to the new ride, Shoot the Rapids.

Coney Islander Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 "We have some exciting plans for next summer," said Clark Culbertson, Cedar Point's vice president of marketing. "Our followers on Facebook are among our biggest fans. We want to reward them for their support and let them have some fun in the process."Cedar Point has offered special benefits to its Facebook fan throughout the 2010 season, including discounted tickets. The park hopes to offer additional deals to Facebook fans when its page reaches 500,000 fans. http://www.newsnet5....on-via-facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbfan Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 This whole "announce on Facebook" sounds like a marketing tool to get more fans on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveStroem Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I am not going to let CP get me this year. I will get excited or not only after they make their announcement. Lightning won't be striking me twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I'll follow the teasers CP posts on facebook, but I won't let myself get excited and post on KIC or any other forum about it until after the announcement.

Pillsberry123 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Some of the responses on Cedar Point's facebook are great... "Build a lay-down flying coaster that goes from Ocean Motion to the parking lot." "They can't build anything on the beach! It would sink. In fact, Cedar Point said that they have to take down Magnum soon because it's sinking. I bet they're taking it down this year." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIfan1980 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I still say a GG or GCI woodie Gravity Group Facebook quote today: "The Gravity Group Yes. When CCI closed, the engineering team got together and we formed The Gravity Group. Eight years and five coasters later, here we are. And we are looking forward to 5 exciting tracks for 2011!" I think this tells us that GG is not involved at CP, based upon what work they have announced: Quassy Grona Lund Happy Valley Zippin Pippin Recreation If you include 2 tracks for racing at Happy Valley, that makes 5.

The Interpreter Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 And if you think Gravity Group (or any other wise manufacturer) would let the cat out of the bag by a hint on its website if its customer did not want it to, you are sadly mistaken...

KIfan1980 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm not thinking GG is hinting at all about CP. I am thinking that their customers have all announced plans already and they are therefore now able to be more specific. Prior to this, they have always posted generic things like "multiple exciting new projects" from my recollection. Of course I could be wrong also.

Beast1979 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 If Cedar Point adds a Star Flyer for 2011, I will probably do Holiwood Nights instead of CoasterMania. People say things like they won't buy passes for next year, or they'll never visit the park again, which are usually just statements made to express their disappointment. But for me, if it's a choice between Holiwood Nights and CoasterMania (Which it will be), then I would rather go to Holiday World then to Cedar Point if Cedar Point has relatively nothing new to offer.

Purplehaze Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 You are right Jackson! If people say things like they wont buy another pass or go there again cause they did not put in a ride they like maybe shouldn't go anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 And maybe the 2011 attraction at Holiday World will involve Timberliners... And at Knoebels Amusement Resort, Flying Turns may turn up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The thing with me is, I can go to Cedar Point anytime with my Platinum Pass, and I can only go to Holiday World once, maybe twice, so if they add something like a StarFlyer, I'd rather go to Holiwood Nights for my one Holiday World trip, and do Cedar Point some other time.

Guest Millennium Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 And why are you assuming the two events will fall on the same dates again? Personally I don't feel if it is a competition. I will for sure be back for HWN nest year, and will definitely be visiting CP several times too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will for sure be back for HWN nest year, and will definitely be visiting CP several times too. I'm not. I'm assuming I won't be able to afford both events and get my mom to take me to both events. For me, its one or the other, regardless of the date. Remember, I'm only 14 dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustbucket Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 $18.70 may be the new price for their hamburger next year. Seriously, there should be some construction or at least surveying by now if the new ride is a large coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 ^ 18 bucks is the current price I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
