Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[alilstrongerI prefer to mate with donkeys over humans!]

Even though I know this is a not huge coaster these types of coasters are still fun. I have never been to Cedar Point and I hate when I will miss a credit!

[PriestofSyrinxMy uncle owns a country place that no one knows about]

Gonna miss it a little bit. Not many rides like it left out there anymore... But this is a right step in the recovery from the coaster wars!

Apparently, Wildcat was testing as recently as yesterday, which makes me wonder if it couldn't pass inspection. If it couldn't pass inspection, there obviously would have been something the park had to do to fix it and pass. Maybe they just didn't want to foot the bill to fix a ride that wasn't going to be around much longer anyway.

That is interesting perhaps it malfunctioned in some way again during testing

Bummer!!

Not much of anything left of the million dollar midway.

[99erHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Except a 6 millon dollar show

[Myselfthe ghost seems to think there is a "Donkey Fairy"]

I never got this credit, hopefully the ride will find new life somewhere else but I doubt it unfortunately.

Any chances of it ending up at Dorney by August?

^^The park said it will be taken to a recycling facility.

Same difference.

This would make sense considering such a sudden announcement, combined with it being recycled not relocated.

I wonder if I could replace my couch with a few WildCat cars...

[CoasterbpCan I park my donkey here?]

I, much like most others, am sad to see Wildcat go. It was a fun little ride, that normally didn't have a huge line. Good starter coaster for the kids.

It IS interesting though, how this came about so suddenly. I bet there is more to this story than we will ever know.

Hopefully, next year, we will get an attraction that will bring some thrill back into the park. I know every year can't be a coaster or a record breaker, but at least for ME, the last couple of additions have been a little underwhelming and not up my alley... (Still don't know why this park doesn't have ONE dark ride.... and no Disaster Transport doesn't count.)

I'm kind of bummed as that was the only credit there, that I'm not sure I had. I was hoping to get it in a couple weeks. Oh well. I guess I'll just say I did ride it then.

Me too, and I was planning a late summer trip there and hoping to finally get it. It has always been a "next time" ride for me. Opps?
