GamesAndRides Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I really cant Belive that there bringing Surf Dog Style ride To Cedar Point. Im looking forward to riding the Lake Erie Eagles Because Kings Island Flying Eagles Was one of my fav rides. I do think this Midway Did need Improvments. The Light strands look Cool And i bet they got the idea from the Broadwalk at KBF. I Think frog hopper will clear up the midway and maybe in later years and a new attraction there. And Hotel Breakers, This im looking forward to. It will "spice" Up the Beach area. Looking Forward To 2014! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Are those two NEW rides or are we losing Surf Dog and some other park losing their flying eagles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westcoaster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I would hope its not that Kings Island is losing anything: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I still have to say I should have known better with them putting in the live cam on gemini midway...Ugh I hate that they are sometimes very crafty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ki Man Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 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.

davidw Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 That video was absolute trash."Acting" could have used some work, but the production quality is top notch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevariouseffect Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yeah it's a random family hyped up and reacting to the hype...but again, it's a family announcement really. However the quality they put into everything, good job. I will say though there are little changes I wonder if they are happening or just a result of the video, I posted all these on pointbuzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So with CP getting a Flying Eagles.....Hmmmm maybe there is hope that one will come back to KI... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanofFirehawk Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 They look like great additions for the family and Gemini's Midway really did need sprucing up. This might compete with my brother's "Which park is better" award. I think we can really start to see how Mr Quimet will rule the Empire, I for one am liking what I see. Giving the family what they want, but also satisfying the thrill seekers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroKinesis Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So with CP getting a Flying Eagles.....Hmmmm maybe there is hope that one will come back to KI... Looks like it's the new WindSeeker. Anyone else besides Knott's get one? Package deal perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcwizard13 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So with CP getting a Flying Eagles.....Hmmmm maybe there is hope that one will come back to KI... Looks like it's the new WindSeeker. Anyone else besides Knott's get one? Package deal perhaps? Michigan's Adventure also received one this year. I can't help but now think that Dorney will be announcing one tomorrow as well. It definitely makes me more confident that we'll be seeing the return of the eagles to KI within the next couple of years. Oh, and I love the new additions. They're just what the Point needed. Very close to what I was thinking. The only difference is that I thought they would be placed along the beach similar to WindSeeker. As for that announcement video... yeah. I wish I didn't watch it. Don: please, pretty pretty please, NEVER announce any addition that way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdawg1998 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 This is actually a really nice addition. After opening Gatekeeper I wasn't expecting them to have anything new for 2014. I wish I could go to CP again, but my parents have no desire in going... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroKinesis Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 By the way,, the Pipe Scream ride, who makes that? HUSS? Feels like a HUSS ride to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calakapepe Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looks like one side of the rotating box will be favored for a more exciting ride, just like Surf Dog.That rotation speed is too perfect :/ (I hate the left side, if you're boarding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The 2014 info page in case anyone hasn't seen it yet: https://www.cedarpoint.com/what-s-new/new-for-2014 It also has videos and renderings. I was surprised by the additions, but I'm very pleased. Not only will a boring, outdated midway get a breath of fresh life, but the park is starting to add more rides the entire family can go on together, and hopefully this is only the start. I have no complaints, and I even liked the family announcement video. I thought it was funny, unique, and memorable. Yes, it was a little over the top, but it was a cool idea and grabbed my attention and got me excited for next year. Oh yeah, forgot to say that I now have Eagles at my home park. Be jealous, all you KI fanboys! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP&LERR Fan Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Cedar Point should rebuild a new Jr Gemini, The one now is so boring compared to Woodstock express at Kings Island I bet that will bring more kids to ride coasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Jr. Gemini, IMO, is great for really young kids. It just gives them a taste of what it's like to ride a coaster, and if they like it then they can go nearby and try out the more intense Woodstock Express. Jr. Gemini is what can start a kid's love for coasters. I don't see any need to get rid of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jr. Gemini is what can start a kid's love for coasters. I don't see any need to get rid of it. I know that There changing Jr Gemini s name to something else now, they should build another kid coaster and make it a steel hybrid coaster for kids and name this one Jr Gemini. It would make more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 One interesting thing. The CP website mentions that Eagles riders will be able to control their ride - from mild to wild. Hopefully this means they'll let you snap them. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick00 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 A few readers on PointBuzz said the Eagles at Michigan's Adventure are able to be snapped and they're the same model. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Just because they're snappable doesn't mean the park will let you snap them. I've heard of parks where that isn't allowed, though I've only ridden them at KI and Stricker's.
