Yesterday CWMania just had their "Leviamania" event at Canada's Wonderland, and an interest piece of information was revealed regarding Cedar Point and Raptor:

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.

It makes me wonder whether Paramount had intended to build a B&M invert for Kings Island as well but ultimately had to scrap the idea. Hmmm...

interesting!

SOB probably took the space up.......

What if Canada's Wonderland were a few miles long, and they could just build it at the back of the park. XD

I think KI is closer to CP than CW is to CP. Mapquested it at 187.

Interesting.
