TOPGUN1993 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 http://www.pointbuzz.com/Gallery.aspx?a=519 CP has track up. Quote
cincyboy0830 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 It's pathetic how CP is getting a new coaster, they are packed like sardines trying to build a coaster when they just bought 5 new parks with loads of space. Pathetic. Quote
RingMaster Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 And it's also pathetic how Cedar Fair has five other parks they didn't just buy recently with loads of space (more like four if you want to get technical) for 200-300 foot B&M hypers that seem to be the new 'IT' trend this season. Quote
vortex31 Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 I would say that new coaster was planned and ordered long before CF started the acquisition Of Paramount parks. CP will always be the top dog as far as the high dollar attractions go. Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 ^Where did you get this crystal ball? Quote
Browntggrr Posted August 17, 2006 Posted August 17, 2006 Planning a coaster takes about three years. Paramount put the parks up for sale last year. And you are going to complain because CF is going ahead with their plan? I guess I don't understand what the complaint is really about. Quote
Jasper Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Back to the coaster it looks like it is just going to be an intamin twister i guess is what you would call it. looks pretty cool. Quote
The New England Snapper Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 I have heard from an inside source that it will feature 12 inversions!!! Quote
KIBeast Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 In my opinion, it's going to be an aquatrax coaster. I truly believe that they are wanting to replace a water ride with another water ride. It was mentioned by Dick Kenzel a few years back when they bought maXair. The year maXair was installed, the original plan was to install a ride where White Water Landing was, but that plan was pushed back a couple of years. Quote
RailRider Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 They are surveying over by the Cedar Creek Mine Ride, if you have visted the park lately you would notice the crews over there and also the number of survey flags. Anyone find it strange they have started laying track so soon. I know winters on the lake are harsh, but they have not started a coaster this soon for a long time. Look at Millie and TTD and when they were started. Aquatrax, possibly, but CP is not much for theming which would be the most logical reasson for starting an Aquatrx so early. Look towards Port Adventura for answers. Cant wait for next seasson on the lake. Quote
KIBeast Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 The track is similar to the one going in at Port Aventura. However, it has been highly discussed over at Pointbuzz and that option has pretty much been eliminated. The track is entirely too low for clearance. Quote
RailRider Posted August 18, 2006 Posted August 18, 2006 Yes it does have low points, but if the passengers are locked in position either flying or sitting I still feel that there would be enough clearance. Atleast from everything I have seen so far. I think it is still very plausible for it to be more than an Intamin Twister, especially from what I have been told. Quote
RailRider Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 Update to the construction work going on at CP on Maverick. Heres an interesting photo from point buzz that shows track that seems designed to have LIM's attached to it. Maveric LIM Section Quote
Reon Posted August 22, 2006 Posted August 22, 2006 ...LIMs? With all the new launch technology, I'm suprised they brought those back. Oh well, LIMs mean one big clue: AquaTrax is back in the game... Quote
RailRider Posted August 24, 2006 Posted August 24, 2006 Aquatrax going upside down? First Inversion Started Well so far we have a giant high speed banked turn, a great airtime ejector hill, LIM type track spotted, and an inversion almost completed. Anyone still pushing for the Aquatrax coaster? Remember this is some of the earliest construction CP has ever started laying track in recent history. Maverick will be coming soon... Quote
beastbreakdown Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 I have a feeling this thing will be massive, well long any ways (due to track assembly so soon) I also think this coaster will be a new type of coaster, because of all the weird aspects that everyone speaks of. Maybe that would be another reason for starting construction so soon, if it would be maybe a new prototype coaster they will have plenty of time to work the kinks out. -Chris Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted August 26, 2006 Posted August 26, 2006 Yea that could be why or maybe they are just playing with everyones mind for fun and they are ging to tear it out and ship the coaster else where. LOL Quote
RailRider Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Maverick now has inversion number 2 almost completed and there is still a lot of track left to go up and the fact this thing has already been started. Start looking for some contstruction in other areas outside of the current construction site. Heres a great shot of the Cutback Inversion Quote
Gordon Bombay Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I was up there thursday and couldnt belive the massive amounts of track now sitting behind breakers and I saw the first inversion, very cool. I heard a different colored track was spotted? Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 I was up there thursday and couldnt belive the massive amounts of track now sitting behind breakers and I saw the first inversion, very cool. I heard a different colored track was spotted? If a different color track was spotted, perhaps they are trying to throw us off. Perhaps the ride will be called The Leopard... --The Interpreter, running for his room Quote
TheKlockster Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Perhaps a 2 track dueling coaster? I heard the thing about the track also - and that the other track was green. Quote
Kenban Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Considering how early construction started I think a dueling coaster is very possible. Although its not unheard of to use two differant colors of track in a single coaster. Any pictures of the green track yet? Quote
CoastersNSich Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 If a different color track was spotted, perhaps they are trying to throw us off. Perhaps the ride will be called The Leopard... --The Interpreter, running for his room Maybe Steve Jobs will be there for the ride's grand opening, to coincide with the release of Mac OS X Leopard. Quote
TheKlockster Posted August 28, 2006 Posted August 28, 2006 Or maybe Def Leppard! I don't get why everyone is saying LIM track has been spotted.... There isn't anything up there that looks like LIM track. Quote

Reclaimer Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Guess we'll find out for sure on September 7th. cedarpoint.com Say hi to Snoopy there on the top banner of the page and you'll see what I mean Quote
TheKlockster Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Thats awesome! Too bad hes not really doing that! Quote
UncleHenry Posted August 29, 2006 Posted August 29, 2006 Weird, 9 days would make the announcement on the 7th. Funny, an employee at CP told me that would be the announcement day for Maverick. Funny, he also told me some other things, including some aspects of the ride. But whoops, I have to keep my mouth shut about the ride. Quote
