RideWarriorAP Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 With the recent announcement by Kings Island today about August 8th. Cedar Point will be announcing details tomorrow for 2014 as well. I received an email from Cedar Point today that they will be having a contest, stating that they are looking for an energetic family to "spill the beans" They will be posting more information on Facebook about this new attraction starting tomorrow. Any ideas of what this attraction will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_humor Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 A dark ride. They want a family, as it will be a family-oriented attraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideWarriorAP Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 I have been hearing rumors about the Midway arcade turned into a dark ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 ^Boo! I love all the classic games in the back of the midway arcade! CP does need a dark ride, but I'd like to see it go somewhere else. How about that building over near Blue Streak that houses Magical House on Boo Hill during Halloweekends? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RideWarriorAP Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 That building use to be the old Pirate Ride, it closed in 1996 and ever since has just been sitting there. The rumor surrounding CP and the lack of land for rides, is that they will be starting to remove rides like the Corkscrew, Mine Ride, and possibly Mean Streak. Which makes me believe if KI unveils an Invert then we will be seeing Vortex and Top Gun removed in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Cedarpoint needs a great air conditioned ride for sure for families. they truthfully could use 2 dark rides eventually. While back I thought I read on forums that each of the Fair Parks were going to remove old attraction? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiamondBackGirl Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 And Cedar Point is NOT short on land for rides. How are they not short on land? Not trying to be rude just curious..I've only been to CP twice and just from looking at the map they are...like I said I don't know much about CP thats why I'm asking.

thedevariouseffect Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Look from a Sat picture...you'd be amazed how much room there is. Did you know from where the 3 pt challenge is right after the tracks after Gemini, there's a break area right behind there, that goes all the way to the tracks by the gate, and has that hidden area all the way back to mean streak and over. Almost the same for the other side minus the storage/carpentry shops/security post. There's a TON of room on point, you just don't see it. It's almost like International Street where you see everything, it looks the way it does, then go up on the tower, and it's just a "face" almost from the main midway there, lots of areas you don't see of or know about, and lots of room outside of the street. Same way, same concept 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 If they ever needed room for expansion, I could see them getting rid of some of the campground...there's a lot of room over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrypt Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Um, no. Son of Beast's station is to be indefinitely used as a Haunt attraction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjt121099 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The have that area by where they got rid of wildcat too, I liked that ride but the end did seem dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XjoshhyX Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I wouldn't mind seeing a new family ride, but the Midway needs to stay as it. I love the games. When we went this summer I spent quite a bit on all the classic pinball machines. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieninja Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 The arcade area is unbelievably large. I would think only half that amount of space would be needed for a modern dark ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ride On_17 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Not sure if this corresponds in any way to 2014, but it will effect the park soon. If not for 2014, then for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRules! Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Why does Cedar Point need a 2014 ride? They just got Gatekeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkroz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 2014 attraction doesn't mean another $20 million+ roller coaster. For some people, a new garden is a notable attraction. Granted, they likely wouldn't market it this way. But I can't remember a year that Kings Island or Cedar Point has actually gone without the addition of something new.

thedevariouseffect Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Could be a flat, new show, new kids stuff, ect.. Doesn't have to be major...just new for whatever...think they did it in for DA @ CP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think/say that? KI Seems to be just as proud of Vortex today as it was 20 years ago, plus KingsIskalndPR has stated that they had no plans on removing the ride in a thread not that long ago. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
