CodyDL Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Well, so far the score is: Canada's Wonderland: 28 Cedar Point: 1 Hopefully Kings Island will get on the board before the end of the month. Dorney has said they are announcing soon. Dorney is getting the Invertigo from CGA.
diamondhawk Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Yeah I hope they announce our plans for 2012 soon. I can't wait.
secondson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I just hope they bear in mind it's the park's 40th anniversary and give us something more in keeping with that fact, and not just a swing set on steroids...or whatever.
teenageninja Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 You are setting yourself up for Anticipointment. 1
CoastersRZ Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 And it is really no surprise what Dorney Park is getting in 2012. They are simply getting the Vekoma Invertigo that used to reside out at California`s Adventure. They had the site cleared and were doing preliminary site work for Dorney`s new attraction when I was there back in mid-July.
kingsrattler Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I thought they weren't supposed to get it till 2013? At least that is what their local papers say.
TombRaiderFTW Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 ^^ Ironically, I think I like that name better for California's Great America. Rolls off the tongue a bit easier, in my opinion.
secondson Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 You are setting yourself up for Anticipointment. Eh, not really. I'm not expecting a new coaster or anything - even though I think they desperately need a new wooden twister to replace SOB. All I meant in my post is that next year would be the opportune time to give us another record-breaking coaster, instead of simply a flat ride. Maybe we will get one in 2013, who knows. Just saying it should be next year so as to coincide with the milestone anniversary, that's all. And who knows...they still haven't announced anything yet, so any and all talk about next year's new thing is mere speculation at this point.
standbyme Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 Personally I would be happy if "all" the park did for next year was to really go all out promoting the 40th Anniversary with some nice banners throughout the park and some nice merch.
Jdwebber Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 You guys think Dinosaurs Alive is the only new attraction Cedar Point will get?
CoasterGeek101 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 You never know with Cedar Fair............................
jdawg1998 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 Really guys, think about it. We have had absolutley no signs of a new ride for 2012, not even a set announcement date. WindSeeker last year was announced what, about a week from now? Do NOT get excited. Although I am excited for HH's new mazes, and I bet those are the only new attractions we will be getting.
Titan Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 WindSeeker was announced in February if I remember? And, If we want to excited let us. You can't stop someone from not doing it.
jdawg1998 Posted August 20, 2011 Author Posted August 20, 2011 WindSeeker was announced in February if I remember? And, If we want to excited let us. You can't stop someone from not doing it. DA! was announced in March, if that is what you are thinking. And I am not stopping you from getting excited, I just don't want to see everyone disappointed.
jcgoble3 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 WindSeeker was announced in February if I remember? And, If we want to excited let us. You can't stop someone from not doing it. WindSeeker was announced on August 24, 2010. See this thread: http://www.KICentral.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=22577
KIBOB Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Actually, WindSeeker caught many of us by surprise last year, as the summer was coming to a close and KI made an announcement about a ride announcement just a day or two before the ride announcement. (Was that clear?) 1
Jdwebber Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I dont know wtheck a Mat Racer slide is, since im not into water parks, but I know many of you want a BB update next year, so perhaps this is a sign they will add some new stuff to it! And we can totally say we had Dinos FIRST! HA! Eat that Cedar Point...lol. :3
Jdwebber Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Also, I find it weird DA at Cedar Point is going on the island...with Mill F, going around the Dinos lol...
RingMaster Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Maybe Millie will get rethemed as TERRORsaur, the ultimate meat-eater, swooping over Prehistoric/Adventure Island and gobbling up any and all dinosaur that gets in it way. EDIT: And before anyone asks, it's a play the name Pterosaur.
Jdwebber Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 lolol, dont you find it odd, I Would think a loud coaster around the dinos would...take away from the experience. Thats why ours is already better even if theirs isnt even built yet
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Yeah, if you have visited the Halloweekends Terror Island outdoor maze, you'll know that Millennium Island is about half the size of the current land where Dinosaurs Alive is at KI. It will be some work to get everything to fit I think. As for KI, I'm at a total loss. I'm stunned that CP could be so completely boring with their improvements. I don't think they have ever gotten a "cloned" attraction from another park, especially one in the same state! I have no clue what they will announce for KI, but as stated above, it doesn't look good. Hopefully they will get a replacement for the largest dino that burned in May. I can't believe they still have it listed in the park map, but it is missing from the attraction!
RingMaster Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 ......weren't we supposed to get a replacement this month? I believe that's what the park said a few days after DA! opened, that a replacement Yellow River was supposed to come in August.
Hank Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Hey.....is one of the dinos at CP gonna catch on fire? I mean, if they want to copy KI exactly, well...... 3
THE_BEASTmaster Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Remember Firehawk was announced on February 5, 2007 and construction didn't even start until after the park closed. A couple of questions, when did Cedar Point begin construction on Raptor or Mantis? Was it after the park closed? And yes I know Firehawk is a relocated coaster too.
Hank Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Both Raptor & Mantis were built after the park closed for the season, however I remember the track for Mantis arrived ahead of time. You may recall that the Mill Race was remeoved to make way for Raptor whereas the area for Mantis only required a modification to the train's tracks.
Titan Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 WindSeeker was announced in February if I remember? And, If we want to excited let us. You can't stop someone from not doing it. DA! was announced in March, if that is what you are thinking. Yes, that's what I was thinking. I got them mixed up.
Jdwebber Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Perhaps that company that makes the Dinos gave Cedarfair a great deal on the project.
CoasterGeek101 Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 Whatever happens, I am good with. I just want something new next year, even if it is an option to only get BB tickets.
dudecoasterman Posted August 20, 2011 Posted August 20, 2011 I don't think they have ever gotten a "cloned" attraction from another park, especially one in the same state! Delirium and MaXair are the same ride in the same state.
