Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

[bgroodogDoes Jeff Johnson count this donkey as a credit?]

Couple of new tweets for GM, John Hildebrandt with pictures of Luminosity construction progress and Giant Wheels new lighting installation. See pictures below!

[BBparks57Did the donkey fairy give me this title?]

Very happy to see the Giant Wheel getting new lights, that's going to look awesome.

[Coaster CurtHave I mentioned how awesome donkeys are?]

Very excited to see the Giant Wheel all lite up

Too bad I will be visiting the park before the Luminosity is up and running.

[coasterjohnhI Love Donkeys!]

I hope they fix up the enterprise lights some day too.

[SkyBreak95Full Fledged Donkey Enthusiast!]

Does this seem relatively possible?

[sammmmmyI wrote the book about donkeys!]

^ Very unlikely. They'd get rid of something/build over the employee parking lot or any of the free space they have before they'd even think of building a coaster in such a place as that. Plus, where would the coaster go after that?

[SkyBreak95Full Fledged Donkey Enthusiast!]

I was thinking that they could build a tunnel after the drop and the general layout would cover the Cadillac Cars/ Turnpike Cars Location.

I drew a general layout and "roughly" drew the return route. Red=Underground.

[99erHoly crap you have a HUGE donkey!]

Going underground would not work very well in that area, plus I can assure you there is not enough room behind the Goodtime Theater to run a coaster. At one point it is only about 5 feet between the building and perimeter fence.

If the park was going to build something over 250 feet, I feel like it would be an out-and-back and it would just go out into the parking lot, either Soak City or the Main Lot.

[UrbanLegendThe playground is where I spend most of my days]

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.

[Skycoastin SteveFive babies drowned in a fire]

^Count on a coaster for next year.
