No other parks outside of CF are building like crazy. I could see CF try to recapture tallest and fastest again....... Tallest and fastest kids Coaster would be rather interesting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Success? Hmmm weird I thought they are down to 1 train operation? I would have to say B&M or even bring back Intamin ( who has the capability to go over 400). All the Intamin haters just stop lol No arguments!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Maybe but i'd rather have a Intamin or B&M for a tallest and fastest steel coaster. RMC is great I am sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Or maybe Intamin has been up to something we don't know about ( just like TTD). Maybe that's why they have been quite in the states recently. Intamin did visit the park a couple seasons ago for an anniversary. Whose to say they didn't hash something out. What could the next "name for a coaster" be. Taller then Strata? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick44 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 GCI I am guessing. I personally am against that. I think CP is not a good place for woodies. But they do lack a good sized wooden coaster. I would they would do something worthy of a 150th anniversary and GCI doesn't do that for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Lightning at Fun Spot has the most insane moments of airtime I’ve seen on any coaster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlondyRidesOn Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Gravity Group woodie? They already have Steel Vengeance so Rocky Mountain Construction is out of the question, and GCI coasters are typically smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 That is possible. I doubt it. I think there will be a ride going away after next season and we will see a huge steel coaster. Something never before seen imo. haha I happen to think Gemini's days are numbered. I know people love it. I think if they do add something. It will takes it place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a classic that help put Cedar Point on the map, and it's still a great stepping stone between small coasters and big coasters. It's also a capacity machine, important at a park that packs crowds like Cedar Point can. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick44 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I know they don't have too. It was just my opinion. I mean every coaster has a lifespan so really all of them have numbers days remaining. Haha I don't really think they will remove one. IF they did I think it would be Gemini. The markings are near that coaster......idk we are just speculating. I want to be friends with all!! haha Sorry @homestar92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention its a classic styled racing/dueling coaster in which guests can really interact with each other, which arent really made that much anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRickster Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 I think CP will be the first park to make an actual strata coaster, and not just a spike coaster. TTD being 25 million doesn't leave much $$$ room for the rest of a normal coaster though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ding Dong Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 How much of TTD’s cost was the launch system vs. the track? If one were forced to pick a coaster to remove Corkscrew and CCMR are the only two candidates I envision and even then there are strong arguements to be made for each of them. Corkscrew takes up very little space and is iconic. CCMR while in my opinion is rather boring it is still a decent gap coaster despite the somewhat dubious 48” restriction. I don’t see Gemini going anywhere for a long time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
