upstop Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Bigger question....are there any footers poured at CP? I haven't seen any pictures anywhere of footers. I don't think they would deliver pieces to sit around the park until footers are ready. 2 Quote
silver2005 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 ^True, but they also waited pretty long to start pouring them for Gatekeeper as well. CP's off season is one of the longer off seasons for parks as well, so they can probably get by waiting a little bit. 4 Quote
TheCandyManCan Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 There are not any currently poured as of yesterday 3 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Would the sticker say "Country of Origin: USA" on something that wasn't leaving the country? I seem to recall previous discussions on here saying that that line did not appear on track that was to stay in the States. Or is my mind making things up? Country of origin is where it came from, not destination, so of course it's going to say USA I know that. I was thinking that the country of origin declaration was something needed for passage through customs, which would be why it might only appear on track headed to foreign parks. But as others have pointed out, apparently not. 2 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 For now, it seems as if things are looking up for Cedar Point...... .....but just wait about 15 days...... .....And there's a good possibility that everything will be diving down...... TheBEASTunchained....Holding his brakes at the top.....For now. 5 Quote
WindingSon Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Hey, things are going to be up or down tomorrow. It'll be FUN either way. 3 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 I can count at least SIX other possibilities. Terp, not trying to trump universal fun. 5 Quote
Pagoda Gift Shop Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Things took a weird turn tonight when someone noticed that a "Cedar Point VR" app was being shown in the Google Play store. It's now been pulled, but you can still view the app page from the Google cache. The app was offered by Cedar Fair. 7 Quote
TheLip2 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 In regard to the VR reference: http://www.toledoblade.com/Retail/2015/08/05/Cedar-Fair-ride-to-test-tech-thrills.html 8 Quote
TheBEASTunchained Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Well.....Here's a little "left-over" tidbit about the "VR" app..... http://www.appjenny.com/Android/App/1913172/com.CedarFair.CedarPointVR The description by Cedar Fair reads : "Get ready to experience Cedar Point VR. Cardboard compatible. Learn more August 18th!" It also seems as though the download page for the "VR" app is currently under construction on the Cedar Point site: https://www.cedarpoint.com/online-fun/vr-app-download Well I guess we know what part of the announcement will be, at least..... 6 Quote
malem Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Watch a POV of the new ride while riding one of the existing rides? 4 Quote
jcgoble3 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I don't get it. What's so interesting about the Mean Streak entrance? What am I missing here? 5 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I'm very confused. Even after reading an article about the VR thing, I still don't understand it...at all. And what's this Mean Streak picture about? 5 Quote
silver2005 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 ^If CP was really doing a RMC conversion of Mean Streak, it'd be closed already, especially given its size. 3 Quote
westcoaster Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Maybe part dive part dark ride? When paramount owned Ki an Addams family concept comes to mind? Quote

Oldiesmann Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 For those wondering what "Cardboard compatible" means, it's likely a reference to Google Cardboard. However, this makes no sense, given that holding up a phone to view something while riding a coaster is extremely dangerous and against park rules. 5 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Makes as much sense as selling selfie sticks in the parks... 9 Quote

Oldiesmann Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 According to PointBuzz, members of the media are now receiving Google Cardboard viewers in the mail. https://www.facebook.com/pointbuzz/photos/a.10152117557661796.1073741828.34043011795/10153529356531796/?type=1&theater 3 Quote

However, this makes no sense, given that holding up a phone to view something while riding a coaster is extremely dangerous and against park rules. In no way is it dangerous or against park rules if every seat is equipped with a clamp style holder, mounted to the trains chassis, much like a GoPro mount. Adjustable arm, like the ones on the machines at the Optometrist, make it 100% feasible and safe, as far as "loose items" go. 8 Quote

This app will be for viewing POVs in a VR setting when you're not at the park. What WindingSon posted four above me is basically what I am thinking here. 4 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 On a sidenote some of the trailers are now gone from CSF. Not the trailers containing track but the normal semi trailer which probably includes hardware. Also looks like Mako track/supports are starting to emerge Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. 4 Quote
dragsterguy21 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 I'm just going to leave this over here.... http://imgur.com/mCjaiME 5 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 No url? Either way, very easy to spoof a webpage. With certain developer tools you can change a website locally and take a picture and say hey look what I found. Just pointing out a fact and what has been done in the past.
