July 19, 200620 yr I'd like to hear what some people here think that Project 2007 will be? I mean, what type of coaster? The rumors I've heard. 1)500ft coaster. I really don't think this one has any merit. 2)Multi-looper. Could be, not really sure. 3)Intamin water coaster. Supports looks like this may be it. Still not sure.
July 19, 200620 yr The new coaster is rumored to go by the name "Maverick." It's being built on the site of the old White Water Landing in the Frontier Town area of the park .
July 19, 200620 yr I hope its a coaster that beats Colossus record for most inversion or beats KK`s record.
July 19, 200620 yr I thought I saw a shirt at KI that say Maverick The Top Gun Coaster. Guess they could use the name for both coasters.
July 19, 200620 yr Thats quite a work of art they're erecting there ain't it? I haven't been up to the Point in a few years. Maybe I'll have to pack myself, Mrs. Admiral and Toddler Admiral up in the family van and head up next year.
July 19, 200620 yr I just hope Toddler Admiral doesn't become ill and you have to leave the park early. That seems to always happen.
July 19, 200620 yr Name -> Maverick What -> Intamin Wing Ryder Similar to what Point Adventura is getting except the seats pivot on the center axis similar to X. This will break all records for inversions and there may be a few more records thrown in.
July 19, 200620 yr Let us hope that one of them is days and hours of an Intamin coaster actually being operational during its first season...
July 20, 200620 yr If you look at the new photos out with the supports up, it doesn't look to be high enough for a Wing Ryder. If they put track on the supports the way they are now, the rider on the inside would plow into the ground.
July 20, 200620 yr ^That's what some people were saying over at Pointbuzz. That the footers are too low for a wing ryder type of seat.
July 23, 200620 yr From the looks of the layout, and the design of the track this may be the Intamin Aquatrax coaster (as rumored). If it is, this may signal that Cedar Point is 'going in a whole new direction'. The family direction. This would also give Cedar Point one of their first chances in years to really theme a ride. Should be interesting to watch. I know over at pointbuzz their has been some recent discussion about this being an Aquatrax and a lot of the thrill ride fans are about to wet their pants. They just can't believe that Cedar Point would build a family coaster!
July 23, 200620 yr I was up there yesterday - and they have a fence around part of the construction area. It is funny though because they have drilled peep holes in the fence. There are certain spots they want you to see - and certain spots they are hiding.
July 24, 200620 yr Here is the Aqua Trax This would make sense considering that CP was talking about replacing White Water Landing with another water ride, but those plans were pushed back when they decided to install maXair.
