Klabergian Empire Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just thought I would start this here. Seems to me since they didn't use all of the previous Firehawk space for Orion, I would imagine we could see Area 72 greatly expand into those areas in the near future.

Could you make a Google maps outline of the Firehawk land and the Orion land side by side? Thanks for making the thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klabergian Empire Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just looking at the webcam you can tell that they didn't use all of the space occupied by Firehawk. They could easily make a pathway under Orion to the space between the tree line and the brake run and add some new rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSourNinja Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I bet they could but I doubt that will happen for a very long time. At some point  replacements over expansion will occur and I think we are there.  Plus I’d rather see them expand in Action Zone. The Bat is kinda like a weird dead end and they have land over that direction I think. Maybe planting some new trees on the back side of Banshee would be nice. Feels too much like an open field IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klabergian Empire Posted January 29, 2020 Author Share Posted January 29, 2020 This is my approximate estimation on they land they didn't use for Orion: If the park wanted to take this further, this is the land that they could reasonably use for a grade A expansion (something like that): 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn’t relate to movies but you could theme it to intense rides and non stop thrills or something. Generic I know but it sounds fun and I like it. Just needs another flat and something different where Invertigo and the log ride is and it’s really really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collin.klopfstein Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 Once The Bat reaches the end of its service life , which I’m guessing will still be a couple years, I think a wing coaster would be great in that area plus the area behind Banshee, and they just reuse the name 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s so bare back there. You can see too much of great wolf. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was it the last one built, but it's also not particularly intense. Only time will tell though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsUp Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I love The Bat for several reasons. But once it reaches the end, that spot would be great for an RMC (better than Vortex's spot IMO) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And will block that awkward open space between bat and great wolf lodge with all that would. I’m down for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klabergian Empire Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 I do believe that Area 72 is the best place to add an RMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think an RMC would fit the Area 72 theme the best. If there's another coaster I would add to A72, it would likely be a B&M wing or flyer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might as well call it "B&M Land"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaiian Coasters 325 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 If having more than one B&M close to each other is called "B&M land" then I'm guessing the front of Cedar Point should be considered B&M land lol. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
