I think they should add a HUSS Floorless Top Spin in 2008 and call it Riptide plus they should put it near Wicked Twister. In 2009 they should do their next coaster. Which I think it should be a B&M Floorless with plenty of inversions. They should put it near MF but iI mean behind the first overbandked turn.

I think they are over due for a gci or gravity group

[Footballteen58]

^Or an Intamin Woodie like Balder. Which is most likely considering all the coaster built 2000 and after were FRICKEN intamin!

[GADVFREAK99]

120 Feet is nothing. It should be 200 or more. Plus Cedar Fair loves Intamin I doubt they will go back to B&M. Plus They have no more room.

[B&Mcrazy]

Why not look into the proscpect of building a dive machine similar to the size of Griffon. Cedar Point is about having extreme coasters they should have one that stops overlooking a terrifying vertical drop into complete daarkness of an obyss. The drop should be about 120 ft. though.

I'm not sure about that idea. If CP wanted a dive machine the size of Griffion they would have to go longer on the vertical drop to produce enough speed for a layout as long as Griffion's, which isn't as long as your average B&M.

When it comes to coasters, Cedar Point defitenly needs more inversions. If they have 17 of them and only 4 of them go upside down, that is a problem. A floorless or a flyer, I think would really add on to their world-wide known coaster collection. A GCI or one of the new Intamin pre-fab woodies would be nice. But it sounds like they don't have too much open space left.

I agree. Wood would be nice, but if they're going to go with it, it'll have to be now, because they won't have enough room if they wanted a 19th to be wood. So, it'd have to go in next, or else they can kiss wood goodbye. They also need some more inversions. I could see them taking a good coaster concept and builidng something great out of it, with 5-8 inversions. Not really sure where it could go, however, I think they could figure that out...

But I still see more flats before another coaster.

I'm so tired of hearing this from SO many people. (not trying to single B&Mcrazy out!)

Seriously, if I ever go to Cedar Point, I highly dought I will be driving home saying, "Wow, I only went upside down 16 times, they need a floorless!"

[gocubsgo25]

I think Cedar Point needs to add another water ride anywhere except Frontiertown because it was like a waterpark with Mean Streak and the Swinger when the log flume was there.

I think they need a small break although they haven't gotten a coaster since 2003. Maybe they can even find a way for Soak City to be a part of admission like other parks.

If they add a water ride, it should be like Riptide @ KBF/VF or a log flume with some type of record.

Definently not. Inversions are important to making a good coaster, but speed and the drops make it the more better.

Thats your opinion. No one, EVER, can say what will make a coaster better and speak for everyone. Some prefer inversions, some prefer height/speed, some prefer this, some prefer that. So, don't tell me your opinion, and then expect me to change mine because of your's. Give me facts, etc, when shooting my opinion down, don't give me your's.

Besides most of the coasters at Cedar Point don't even have inversions in their layout.

Isn't it extremely obvious that's the entire reasoning behind, "CP needs more inversion coasters"? So, I'm confused why you brought that up.

[SixFlagSeR]

They wont be taking out any rollercoasters unless they decide to give up their record with the most coasters.

[shotgun_mario]

I agree. No coaster for '08, possibly none for '09, perhaps even none for '10 or '11 even with the new parks and a big new debt to pay...

[shotgun_mario]

noooooooooooo....

snoopy and the peanuts are WAY cooler than any 'new' nickelodeon characters...

in my opinion....

[Coasterholic14]

^definetly agree, just like the Hanna Barbera characters were better than all the new NICK characters, but Carowinds decided out with HB in with MORE Nick characters.

Note: If you despise new Nicktoon characters, don't go to Carowinds (unless you are like me and it's the only park close by...then you don't have much choice lol), almost half the park is Nick themed. Actually, just close your eyes, ride the Phantom Flyers (ignore that it is Nick themed) and then go enjoy the rest of the park.

[CoasterFreak8675]

I think Cedar Point is done trying to break records.
I think they want to be the trend setters of the amusement industry!

If they wanted to break records, they would have done it for Maverick.
But they didn't and probably won't.

[shotgun_mario]

I agree to a point. I see them slowing down, almost to a halt, with the major record breaking, however, I see them breaking smaller, newer records (if that's what you will want to call them) such as new inversion styles, new combinations, etc., new types/sizes of types. They'll add the little things that break records, mostly for the uniquness of the ride and fun, however, I don't see any more "TTD's" of "MF's" for quite a while, if ever again. It was fun while it lasted...

I hate when parks advertise useless records like the ones you mentioned. They are not even records, in my opinion. How in the world does a new combination of inversions, get so much praise? It's not hard to put some type of inversion after another. Just because it's never been done before dosen't mean it's original. I mean ORIGINAL - imaginative, creative, like X at SFMM original. These "combinations" were going to be put together sooner or later. And then they go and say that two corkscrews and a turn in between is a new kind of inversion. Most of you probably know which element I'm talking about.

[Tyler Carlton]

Yeah, I dont think that the "twisted horseshoe roll" is really that remarkable of a thing. It techinally is "new", but it isnt really a new kind of inversion. Its just two corkscrews with a turn in between, they didnt really invent anything.

I also think that major record breaking is over. They dont have room for another MF or Magnum, unless they get rid of something, which I dont see coming.

[shotgun_mario]

oh, don't get me wrong, I don't think it's anything 'new', but that's how they're going to go about advertising it, like any park would...

[Ryan Shrout]

Personally, I think that CP needs to add something diffent and unique to their park and that is to do a coaster over the water. Imagine a B&M FLyer skimming above the waves or what looks like a classic boardwalk woodie. This is the only real alternative to taking out old rides for new. I also agree that they need another water water ride. How 'bout a liquid-coaster going in for #18? Now that would be fun and since there aren't too many around, that would also sattisfy CP's need to make some sort af record. Maybe first liquid-coaster with an inversion? That would be cool!
