Be it a hotel or buy other land outside of what they have. And skyway attraction would be great and they could expand the train to add a stop. Plenty of room to continue growing for sure. In the news, it literally stated besides tearing a hotel down, they physically added a few extra acres to their island, not from knocking the hotel down but adding physical land mass. Here is video from Coaster-net talking about it. So Cedar Point can continue to add land mass if they so desire without knocking things down.

LovinMeSomeBanshee Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm guessing the track IS on site somewhere, just hidden from public view. Will they be closing X-Base for a bit after 8 PM to prep for the 10 PM announcement? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wouldnt they have to drive that down the midway and back into xbase or could they come from the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alchemist Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Honest question: Why does everyone get so juiced over seeing track? Once I knew it was blue with white supports, I lost interest until it goes up. Maybe cranes are my thing?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said they couldn't. Don't know why your trying to argue when you're making my point. CP has always been a peninsula and a finite amount of land. To expand they have to pay to expand the land mass by adding ground into the lake like you said they had to make land. Ki was purchased big and has room to grow for now with lots of usable space. I think this giga is a sign they definitely want ki and CP to stay on top. Which is great for commerce in Ohio. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me that the platforms that are blocked off will be where the media will be. He also recommends we get here early. What's early exactly? Was going to spend the day there but plans fell through and won't be able to make it until nearly 4 now. Please don't tell me I'm going to have to go straight back there..lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really have not said there this said land is located in the park. So really it could be anything. They can add land. The main driveway I believe is man made and wasnt there 150 years ago. But I do know adding land on water. Is CRAZY expensive. Very curious to see if they did get 4 acres how much that costed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not arguing, I thought you just missed that part of what I was saying. Didn't want people to think in 60yrs, Cedar Point would have, for example, the best of every ride possible in the park.. then something from outer space is shown and they have to get it first but they must choose which record coaster to tear down... Imo only, if they wanted to REALLY expand, they could remove the water park completely off site and move it back on mainland and use island for just rides. If they wanted to get physical, they could force everyone living there to LEAVE permanently and then they take over the eastern part of the island. It's not far fetched. Louisville International airport SDF bought residential land and forced MANY people to leave their homes and move elsewhere. This was about 25 years ago. The land is still not being used today so you do not even need a reason to be acted on to buy out land from people and rezone it for all commercial use. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why CF is going less on our project due to the extreme cost of adding land to CP. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeast Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Less on our project??? Cedar Fair is spending quite a few million dollars installing this new addition. I cannot be more excited at the love they show our park. Not trying to sound condescending or rude at all. Just be thankful that we get the additions we do and will get in the future. KI seems such a better place since CF acquired them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acook44 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Any investment from Cedar Fair is welcome in my book. Look at Valleyfair or other Cedarfair parks. They don't get near the amount of love we do and we should all be grateful! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyluvsKI Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Very thankful they are doing lots for ki compared to others in their franchise/management.

Just seen @sixohdieselragetwitter post with an arial photo of SoB. Is it just me or does the helix kinda resemble an impact crater. There's everyone's SoB tie-in.
