NEW FOR 2011

[markr]

Have been looking at photos of the Starflyer and that actually looks like a lot of fun. ( Unless they are pulling a fast one on us and the ride is going to be a coaster after all-how I love Mustang. )

[The Interpreter]

I might if they came in four doors...

Terp...uh....doing something

[Beast1979]

The next clue is up.....a box of crayons. Click it, it sends you to 64 Crayons.com. Anyone else not following this?

[Go Browns]

Maybe a clue relating to Cedar Point history. What happened in 1964?

edit: that would be Blue Streak so probably has nothing to do with today's clue.

[bkroz]

1964 -

• The Blue Streak (John Allen/PTC wooden roller coaster) is added.

• The Monorail is removed.

• Calypso opens near present day Ice Cream Parlor(May 23)

• Final season for Rotor

and

http://pointbuzz.com/c/history.aspx

Two things jump out... Rotor (how high?!) and the Blue Streak.

[HTCO]

You can't be "very very angry" at Cedar Point just because they choose someone else's product over yours. Even if they are similar. That's just wrong.

[dr_humor]

The clues are pretty simple. It's a Mondial WindSeeker (not a StarFlyer).

Windmill: Wind.

Dinosaur: The name is Strato"soar"

Side-by-Side: You sit in pairs

Diaper: It's scary enough to make you piddle

64 Crayons: That's the capacity: 64 people at a time.

[Beast1979]

As much as I'd like to automatically assume it's a reference to 1964, perhaps 64 refers to capacity or ride time?

[Hank]

If I may say.....

IF CP is getting this "swing thing" - no matter which company gets to make it for them, at 2 million dollars a copy, with such a low rider per hour capacity, they should get 2 of them. They would like quite nice, side by side along the beach area.

....Hank, out of diapers since 1964 and not looking forward to them again in the future!

[Beast1979]

[....]64 Crayons: That's the capacity: 64 people at a time.

[...]perhaps 64 refers to capacity[...]

Unless they modify it, you and I stand corrected, the capacity is 50 people.

[TheSonofBeast]

Uh, the pepperoni at Kings Island has ALWAYS been on top of the cheese. It was in 1972, it is today.

Since Cedar Fair took over, they have also offered sausage...they did not used to.

Coney Island of Ohio also has LaRosa's, but I honestly don't know where they put the pepperoni there...I know the Skyline at Coney Island of Ohio is better than at Kings Island or in the company's own stores.

just a note... they DID but as of two weeks ago it has since dissappeared. I went to the larosas in the festhaus and asked for a sausage and pepperoni pizza and they said they did not carry sausage any longer. a quick inspection of the menu tvs indicated it was not listed on there any more, either.... it looks like sausage is no longer, which is sad because it didnt cost any more for sausage, it was the same if you got pepperoni only or both pepperoni and sausage pizza...

[Coney Islander]

It would of make sense for Cedar Fair to have bought many of these, and fit them into each of their parks' 3 year rotation. Extremely marketable, and fairly inexpensive...

Leaves many, many millions to be distributed among the parks, for general park improvements.

[Beast1979]

As long as were talking about multiple purchases, KI can haz one too?

[bkroz]

Maybe it'll be like Drop Zone. Every Paramount Park got one - 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and then all that's left is Kings Dominion... And they finally get one in 2003. I bet that they had simply come to the conclusion that they weren't going to get one!

[Vortex]

I see a small wind seeker at CW, a record breaking one at CP, and no clue what will happen at Knotts.

Knott's has markers all over the place. I can't wait for my visit next spring.

The rumor on Knott's is wind seeker 2011 and coaster for 2012.

[TH13TEEN]

^ Well I go multiple times a year so it really doesn't matter. There due for a biig coaster this year or the next.

[brick52]

New clue is up and here's the link, it's a picture of two people's feet and the picture takes you to here http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070527234546AA4kfrd

[coasterguy15]

that is a confusing clue

[HTCO]

Well obviously it means its going to be between 300 and 500 feet.

[coasterguy15]

oh, sorry. i didnt see where it said 300 to 500 feet. my bad

[HTCO]

oh, sorry. i didnt see where it said 300 to 500 feet. my bad

I wasn't talking to you directly! I was just putting that out there.

[The Interpreter]

And 4 times 4 times 4 equals a previous clue...

[CincyMan98]

We only have two days until they announce it! I can't wait!

And, coasterguy15, I didn't realize I just changed my profile picture to the same as yours. Whoops. Is that okay?

[coasterguy15]

haha, it's all cool if you want to keep the pic for your profile. i have no problem with that

[Dbfan]

Didn't they say it would minorly change the skyline? A 300-500 foot tower with a swing at the top doesn't seem minor.

[bkroz]

Perhaps the current Sky Tower is being converted - thus the only change to the skyline will be when the "star" (or whatever they might chose to call it) rises.

[CedarPointer]

I don't think they'd remove Space Spiral. Wasn't it CP's icon for a long time?

[Guest rcfreak339]

In the picture of the feet there are 3 pairs of 10 toes, So maybe thats a clue it will be around 300 feet?

[06jds377]

so its a ride that is between 18^2 and 22^2 feet high, and will have a capacity of 64, 32 side-by-side seats?

a huge star flyer, WindSeeker, whatever..thats the general consensus?
