A.S.Coasters Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Source? Turns out it was 200 miles, either way... Leviamania was definitely a huge success. Thanks to everyone that attended. It was a bit hard to hear at times, so I wanted to share this tidbit of information from the Q&A (Norm, Park GM): Canada's Wonderland was meant to get a B&M inverted intead of the Vekoma SLC model! The deal was ready to be signed HOWEVER, Cedar Point had an exlusivity deal that B&M could not build another invert with 200 miles (as the crow flies) of the park. Canada's Wonderland is at the 198 mile mark. Cedar Point refused to let Wonderland build what could have been an AMAZING invert. So we got what we did. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=38407&start=4620
TTD-120-420 Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 Maverick00, are you on Pointbuzz? Just wondering since I just recently joined this site. That's awesome that I know someone else on here Anyway though, I think that would be cool seeing a dive machine at Kings Island. He isn't the only one.
The Interpreter Posted June 12, 2012 Posted June 12, 2012 True that. Nor is that the only other place! 1

A.S.Coasters Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Could you tell me why CW management would say that then?
bkroz Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I don't see any quotes or attributions around the words that supposedly came from a GM (speaking very frankly and candidly if that is really what he said...)
KingsIsland vs. Cedarpoint Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Couldn't Cedar Point let it slide since Canada's wonder world is Cedar Fair as well?
Browntggrr Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 ^ So it is safe to assume you only read the last few posts.... 1
mccarthysnerd Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I just got the news about Son of Beast..... The long awaited news!!! I e-mailed Cedar Fair with quite a few questions and they said this..... "A desicion concerning the future of that ride will be made before the 2013 season starts" Which was followed up with a Thanks for asking type thing...... I have emailed them SO many numerous times and they finally decided to answer. Now all we can do is hope that the right decision is made
Titan Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111111 Proof or it didn't happen
Gordon Bombay Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ^I believe, the correct term according to Reddit is: "Pics or GTFO." 2

Maverick00 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Or you could just post it here . It doesn't mean a decision has been made, it means a decision WILL be made before the 2013 season.
TheCrypt Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Considering that there have been reports that Ouimet has talked to guests about Son of Beast (somewhat), and add that with the fact that mccarthysnerd doesn't seem to be the one trying to mess with us, only to get a reaction, this doesn't seem that much of a hoax to me (but it still has an odor scented to hoax). Email the park to see if he's right (that's what I'm about to do).
mccarthysnerd Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I'm not lying because I have no reason to lie, I have been anxiously awaiting something like this for as long as you guys have Just because you hear something like this doesn't mean that you have to assume that I'm lying. You can all email the same question and hopefully they give you the same answer. Its what I was told and what I'm going to believe. Son of Beast 2013
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 The Terms of Service state if you say something is confirmed, you must state by whom.
jdawg1998 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Even if you are telling the truth don't get too excited, you never know what the decision is.
The Interpreter Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 And in any event, decisions can and often do change, sometimes even after an announcement. See the flume at KI (removal had been announced), Whizzer at SFGAm (ditto), Banshee at Cedar Point (Mantis), Maverick's unincluded element, and on and on....

Son of Beast 2013 Believe me, you're better off just keeping your mouth shut. They'll find out on their own. I've learned that lesson.
Gordon Bombay Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 ^The only guy backing up mcarthysnerd is the other guy claiming to have information, but with no proof to share it. Mcarthy, either share your email and prove your claim as the TOS states, or take a hike. Choose your next post wisely.

Oldschool75 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I do believe it proved my point. And your jumping in and flaming people only strengthens my point. I will be the bigger person here and end this bickering. I was just giving some advise to the guy. 1
Gordon Bombay Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 You could be the bigger person and back up your "claims" of inside info, but you won't (cause you don't have any). Thanks for playing.

Nobody is playing anything with you and I don't have to "share" anything with you. Like he said, I was probably better offnot tellling you guys and letting you find out when the announcement is made. Thanks for the un-needed rude comments. 2

TheCrypt Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I sent the question today, got the answer today. Question 3:07 pm, answer around 5:17 pm. Source? Turns out it was 200 miles, either way... Leviamania was definitely a huge success. Thanks to everyone that attended.

KI-ORIG-EMP Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 When you post the emails to back up your claims, please include the headers. It is easy to cut and paste portions of emails and claim it is an email regarding the claim at hand. Cedar Fair will make a decision regarding SOB and when they do, then will let the WORLD know in the form of a press release. Until then, any leak that might be reported is just a rumor and nothing less. Any upper management type will not release any news until it is time and they know if they did leak something, their employment status will up in the air.
