Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[99erHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

How low is the water table at Cedar Point? I would imagine you wouldn't have to go very deep before your tunnel starts flooding (that's what she said? ).

Depends on the area of the park. There are basements as deep as 15 feet below ground level in some areas of the peninsula.

How low is the water table at Cedar Point? I would imagine you wouldn't have to go very deep before your tunnel starts flooding (that's what she said? ). This is also assuming that Cedar Point is looking for a 250-foot hyper... we still have almost no idea what they'll be getting. At least I don't. All 2013 speculation has been buried under arguments about Fast Lane.

Their are ways to fight that problem.

WTC had a slurry wall (and that was 1972) I'm sure their are great ways of preventing that in 2012

[TXman308I teach at the school of donkey!]

Why would CP get another hyper? I think it would be nice if they put in a GCI or a 4-across El Loco.

Why would CP get another hyper?

Because they make people go WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! But I would prefer a good wood coaster instead.

As far a fully underground tunnel, keep in mind that they are extremely expensive. The concept might be simple, but a park will always opt for an above ground solution if possible before constructing something underground. A trench, with a wooden walkway as part of the midway above it, might also be feasible before a full fledged tunnel.

I think it would be nice if they put in an intamin or gravity group woodie! BTW, luminosity is really nice

[KafkaShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

I think that an Intamin Woodie would be a great idea. I think that they should see if Intamin would consider building a wooden hypercoaster. It seems with the taller wooden coasters that are being designed by intamin currently, it could be done, it would be record breaking, and it would give the park a good woodie. This statement is entirely wild speculation, but i think it'd make sense for them to attempt.

[FeelTheFORCEWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I think a wooden coaster built by Intamin would be a good addition ANYWHERE in the US. It's mind-boggling how there is only ONE in the entire country.

Random side note, asked CP about the Webcams on their site:

@Agent_Topher
@cedarpoint where did the webcams go?
@cedarpoint @agent_topher We've taken them down due to Luminosity construction - they'll be back soon!

[coasterkyleWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

It looks like they are testing Giant Wheel's new lighting.

[CpBluestreakCpDon't let this donkey melt you with its laser eyes!]

That is looking bright! Hopefully Millennium's lights look just as good.
