upstop Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Who thinks this is more than just a rollercoaster? Maybe... just maybe... this will be an entire revamp of the area with more rides, shops, restaurant and the thing everyone seems to want.... restrooms! maybe the area will be named Orion or Polaris? I’m still holding out for a new version of Extraterrorestrual Alien Encounter... look it up on YouTube if you don’t know what that ride is. Any way you look at it, I think this will be an exciting direction for the park to take! 6

Any way you look at it, I think this will be an exciting direction for the park to take! I think it is definitely possible for a retheme and entire overhaul of the area. They have a budget of $120 million throughout CF and this is the only known roller coaster going in. Look at what they did with copperhead strike this year. They completely rethemed the entire area to blue ridge junction and added a restaurant and our old gliders on top of copperhead strike. 5

calakapepe Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I thought Banshee was a name they've had since the original name of Mantis 2

decyferite Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 @Jallie79same here, I definitely want to try and get shots of the of the construction area 1
DubVLegend Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Hmmm... Closed for mechanical reasons or to keep things hidden for a short period of time??????? 5 2

Benjamin22 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I don’t really think they’d close attractions to keep something secret, it just doesn’t make sense. If that were the case wind seeker would also probably be closed (Granted it is closed at least twice a day ) 2 1

For comparison, Orion and Polaris was filed April 30, 2019. Just generally speaking, this site has all the trademark information, including dates of filing. It’s definitely interesting to read through. https://www.trademarkia.com/company-cedar-fair-lp-222594-page-1-2 2

Jallie79 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Tower is now open. Gonna hay y'all some current pics soon as i get a chance to upload them 2 4

Jallie79 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Nothing new today. Sorry this aren't great quality. They're from my phone. 9 5
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I know this probably won't happen, but Polaris and Orion were only trademarked by Cedar Fair, not KI. I know that's normal, but what if Orion and Polaris were the names for both the sides on Racer 75 (Rebel Yell) and gave it a different theme? 1
sikkinixx99 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Are the wires gone from the poles? Buried?? Hard for me to see

collin.klopfstein Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Im not driving by CSF today to get any track updates, sorry... Is anybody else down to drive by CSF if you live close? 1
ThrillKingsFitzy Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I know this name was dead in 2010, but what attraction was the name for? It is from Cedar Fair. 5
decyferite Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I'm still going to grab shots from the tower with my DSLR... Linrs are ridiculous today... DB was an hour and they were only running 2 trains... plus there are 3 company picnics from what I can gather today, plus free admission for another group 3
Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 I know that this is a horrible drawing, but I think a tunnel at the bottom of the turnaround would be really cool. Like if you are in fact going to be spiraling down, it would be very neat to spiral down into the tunnel. Note: the tunnel is gray because the background is black. 6
