Now would be a good time for Danny to update the website to post last years rankings. The 2022 winners are still the top listing. Also it would be nice to see the full list of the bracket challenge participant rankings. I want to see how bad I did.

I will tell you my fiance got busted twice at Kings Island and once at Cedar Point with a pair of camera glasses. Meanwhile I've seen people have their hats, drink bottles, and glasses in their hands while riding coasters. Really makes me wonder if they're even targeting the correct aspects in regards to filming and loose articles on rides.

The Iron Bore should be made less boring. Redesign the trains to be a suspended spinner coaster instead. It might actually be fun then instead of a sleeper.

Iron Gwazi and SteVe are at the very top... But I'd be lying if I didn't think velocicoaster and Voltron (have not ridden yet) as well as coasters a like aren't almost right there with those two. The coasters coming out right now are down right insane. It's not a coaster war of the parks anymore. It's a manufacturer showdown.

They also have a huge abandoned indoor waterpark/hotel complex they could buy demolish and move the cedar point shores and rebeand it as a hurricane harbor

The only 2 coasters that Cedar Point needs to add are a Mack extreme spinner and a modern GCI woodie. Add these 2 coasters and get TT2 working and they would truly have the perfect coaster park. Would love to see a vekoma flying coaster but would add the first 2 coasters I mentioned before adding a flyer.

CP being my home park Id love to see a Vekoma Flyer and think it would be perfect for that plot of land and add major value to the lineup. Other than that a Vekoma multi launch like Tecuani Beast or another Intamin would be amazing. Steel roller coasters take up a good amount of land but also still have an open concept for flat rides. I definitely wouldn’t put in a wooden coaster. They take up a lot of land, isolate everything nearby and just don’t bring as much hype. Again this is all my opinion but if you have this beautiful plot of land I’d add an amazing steel coaster and some awesome flat rides.

I think wood would be a hell of an addition...but take into account the constant carpenter maintenance they already have to put into Steve already. I think if they did this, they should upgrade steel Vengeance to lessen the maintenance required. I think the problem structured areas on steel Vengeance need to be possibly updated to steel structure, possibly replacing the lift hill and high stress areas with steel framing.

They could strategically hide steel support columns so none of the actual wood is load bearing and just for looks since it is already paid for a long time ago. New wood is expensive now.

Take out rougarou (not worth a darn), and put your mack splash ride there. Its a great location that people walk past. Let people walking towards millenium get a little wet in that walkway...would be cool. I had an idea to remove the mine train as well...and use that space in addition to the diabolical dive and snake river falla. I think you can fit.a fury type ride in that space. A wooden ride just fits there because it is kind of a murky area. I'd get rid of corkscrew and the drop tower and build a family style big bear launch coaster there. And I'd replace gemini with a mack spinning coaster. This way GCI, Mack are also represented at the park and can help create a world class coaster there.

A very good non‐inverting coaster in that plot of land seems like a no-brainer. I think a lot of parks are learning that huge, record breaking coasters don't appeal to a wide range of guests. Most non "thoosies" judge coasters by how high/steep the drops are, and whether or not they go upside down. The wood coaster idea really does work, however it does add monotony to the skyline in that part of the park.

The long desired GCI woodie or maybe a Mack Xtreme Spinner please. I’m not sure this area will be used for 2026 because CF/SF gave a list of planned park additions in their last conference call and Cedar Point was not mentioned. Never know though. I want a wood coaster with a curved drop that mirrors Maverick’s turnaround. Could make that bridge into frontier town super visually dynamic.

@austintayloradt
@austintayloradt Ай бұрын
This might have been a much different conversation if TT2 opening had gone well...would be pretty amazing to see that Intamin extended layout though. Rather than a swing launch, I would much rather see a turn and launch into the old Green Lantern site, do the extended layout to build speed, then get back over to the original track and get a boost launch to clear the top hat. Also, Dragster did 18 million riders over 19 seasons with a shorter calendar, so more riders per year no matter how you count it. I definitely preferred Dragster to Ka, but probably Ka over TT2 - for me it was all about that initial launch though. Extended Ka layout might take the cake over all of them, even if it's unlikely to happen.

I don't think Herschend would be a buyer for Lantern. However If they went the way of Drayton Manor and ordered ART Engineering trains for it, it would be a much cheaper stand up to sit down conversion without the expense of the folding floor. Maybe less to market without it being floorless, but would get better RIO as people would actually ride it more than once without OTSR.

Andy's take on Ka is for sure one of the takes of all time. lmao. But for real, the difference between the two was never as dramatic as what people made it out to be. The biggest differences between the two rides were the restraints and the park the rides happened to be in. The loud and proud Cedar Point fanbase did a great job convincing everybody there was HUGE difference between the two experiences, but it was quite exaggerated. And this is coming from a self proclaimed Cedar Point fanboy. Either way this was a sad loss for the industry and the way the park handled it was terrible. Absolutely no recognition and no opportunity for last rides when they knew for at least most of this season that KA was going to close. I'm very interested to see what ends up replacing it and I hope to GOD it isn't that stupid Mack spinning tower coaster thing. Building another gimmicky 400+ foot tall coaster in that plot just feels like its begging for direct comparison to a past ride rather than allowing guests to focus on something all new.

The SFMM coaster is going to be a Vekoma. Also, X2 ops have become even worse than usual the last few years. Massive maintenance downtime, 1 train op when it is running, even on busy days. Superman is way more likely to go than X2 with it's massive downtown and high operational costs.

Agree Ka was always inferior. It was very rattly if not in front row and it has gotten progressively worse over the years. Top Thrill was always smooth in any row. On not needing to build the spike higher b/c they knew they would close KA, is not really true. TT2 revamp plans were set before the first merger talks commenced in August 2023....the timeline of the talks is in the S-4 SEC disclosures, which is 300 pages.
