PhantomTheater Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Yeah, a Freestyle in the back of the park, that I am happy about. The rest of the food changes, I'm indifferent. 2 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 I'm sad about Game Day leaving, but I'm glad that Chickie's and Pete's is replacing it. I can't wait to get some CrabFries and to try out the rest of their menu. I'm also glad about the full service Starbucks, but it will probably be way overpriced. Also it's nice that Challenge Park will get some new food options. And with SlingShot, I don't think any of us are surprised since I think most of us believed the leaked info about this. I'm just surprised it will only go 62 mph. I've never been on a SlingShot ride before but I thought they were faster. Oh well, it still looks fun. I wonder how much it will cost, but I might try it at least once to see what it's like. 1 Quote

KI's SlingShot attraction has a top speed close to 100 mph, according to the park's website. 2 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 For anyone wondering, it appears Jason McClure has subtly confirmed that Cedar Point, as KI does with Surf Dog, will count Pipe Scream as a roller coaster. From the article linked above: “These additions show our commitment to offering our guests the best in family fun for the 2014 season,” stated Jason McClure, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “With a collection of 72 rides, including 17 roller coasters, three kids’ areas, live shows, unique and interesting places to eat and spend the night, Cedar Point offers something fun for everyone.” 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 (Meanwhile, that place in California is relatively quietly adding yet another coaster, Hot Rod.) 10 Quote
rcwizard13 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 For how hard that park seemed to try in taking that record away from America's Roller Coast, they sure haven't been marketing it as much as I thought they would. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 For every Flags marketing decision, there is a reason. 1 Quote
Rcoaster10 Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 It's weird that they have Pipe Scream on the roller coasters page as well as the family rides page. All the other family roller coasters aren't listed under family rides. I personally think they shouldn't count it as a coaster. 2 Quote
GamesAndRides Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Wow, I thought SlingShot would have gone To Challange Park, Not In the main park. 6 Quote

fanofFirehawk Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Now this deserves an, "Oh, snap." Oh snap 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted February 21, 2014 Posted February 21, 2014 Nah. Sometimes Terp leaves lines for others to respond. I wasn't referring to the ride itself, but rather obliquely referring to the poster himself, as Hot Rod. Too bad that new addition isn't at NJFTP. Then again, there's always next year. Someone knows what's next after Big Droppy Thing! 7 Quote
PhantomTheater Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Events https://www.cedarpoint.com/plan-a-visit/events Live E https://www.cedarpoint.com/things-to-do/live-entertainment No cirque show, but the return of Lusty Lil! Also a new ice show. 1 Quote
Vortex lover Posted March 18, 2014 Posted March 18, 2014 That video was absolute trash. If you didn't see the announcement video...save yourself. I was hoping for a dark ride! Maybe for 2015 they'll RMC Mean Streak. The locals hate the ride, the visitors hate the ride. Just re-vamp it already so I can ride it again. there acting like they acting to Banshees adSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
PhantomTheater Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 https://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/448505426233921536/photo/1 The eagles look good, cant wait to see how they fly. 5 Quote
calakapepe Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Oh! I forgot! I'll finally be able to ride a flying eagles type ride for the first time of my memorable life! .... Cool. 5 Quote
westcoaster Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Totally great addition to a totally great Park. 2 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Cedar Point also tweeted that vertical construction had started on Lake Erie Eagles today, and gave a cool picture. https://twitter.com/cedarpoint/status/448803287488561152/photo/1 Can it be May 10th yet? 1 Quote

THE_BEASTmaster Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 And if you read the opening date, it's November 3rd. I got a chuckle out of that. April Fool's! Lol! Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 At first I was like, oh wow they improved on the area not reading the article..then as soon as I saw the pics and the several animals, nope They do need to do something over there. Only spot of Area 3 that I can honestly say needs work.. 1 Quote
Bennett Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Love this part of the article... Guests will get up close and personal (without cages or boundaries) with elephants, giraffes, chimpanzees, wolves, lions, meerkats, skunks, rabbits, cows, rhinos, sea lions, black bears, seagulls, impalas, alpacas, worms, red-winged blackbirds, foxes, chickens, zebras, really angry birds, sharks, toucans, tigers, octopi, ostriches, gorillas and more.Bananas and raw meat will be available for a nominal fee for guests who'd like to kick their thrill up a notch by feeding the animals.In addition, an all-new musical revue will entertain guests of all ages. "Stay Away From Me, You Furry Beast!" features songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's & 90's, all with lyrics pertaining to the fear of animals. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Sounds like your typical crowd at NJFTP or SFOG... A zoo! And I'm just one of the many varmints in attendance! 3 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I wasn't really sure where to post this, but Jason McClure just said this on Twitter: "Great Halloweekends meeting today. Exciting new shows and attractions being planned. Lots of new family fun and night time scares." 1 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 And a Twitter update from Tony about the new Starbucks from earlier today: Tony Clark@TonyClarkCP Good morning! Over the weekend, this building got more @Starbucks-ey. Mocha anyone? https://twitter.com/TonyClarkCP/status/453139266252447745/photo/1 8 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I don't know about you guys but I'm absolutely loving the new string lights that have been put up in the Gemini Midway. (Image captured from Cedar Point's Gemini Midway Construction Cam) 9 Quote
Ride On_17 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 A question I've had for a little while is what are those large, white disks? Are they for shade? Lights? Something else? I think they're ugly. 1 Quote
PyroKinesis Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 A question I've had for a little while is what are those large, white disks? Are they for shade? Lights? Something else? I think they're ugly. I'm not sure, but they look like water droplets to me. It was raining today. Perhaps it got windy, and some rain got on the camera. Quote
