Well, heres the inverted image, i dont see anything interesting...
Theres the upside down MF symbol, but you could see that before...
Can anyone see anything interesting?

I also had a hunch. At the top af the image it says "lightning strikes twyce." I think it may mean a double or racing ride...

Also, for some reason the thought came up that it could be a double-towered (or single) of the elevator lift raft ride like Pilgrims Plunge. I hope its a coaster, but something about the description makes me think water.
^the message is up there^

I also had the water ride thoughts...Although you can see all that without zooming so maybe something is hiding. A racing log flume?? Since WWL was taken our for Maverick they don't technically have a log flume. Or not like the one they had anyway. Maybe it's not an aquatrax...but it's 2??? They are really telling us alot...but it's not getting us anywhere. if not for the leak of the layout for Mav...we wouldn't have had any idea as to what they were building til the announcement.

I think he meant a total revamp of the ride, much like SF did on SROS.
^^The lightning strikes twyce is undoubtedly a reference to the crate at carowinds that says the same thing, albeit a different spelling. It probably means that CF is building two roller coasters with "lightning" in their name in the same year.

Yes I meant the re doing of the ride not the name...sorry for the confusion. And I think that the lightning striking twice is either a reference to a racing coaster...or the Carowinds coaster that supposedly being announced today. I think White and Whyte are the only differences in the names and that the rides will be completely different. However, Carowinds website states that their new ride will be called Intimidator just like KD's coaster...but the artwork on the site shows B&M track...so I'm not sure whats going on.

Look at the horizontal lines and the reflections.

The the horizontal lines I assume you are talking about look like eyes to me.

They kinda look like eyes...but IDK how far that gets us in terms of a ride...and it may not even have a clue in there like that...it may just be the artwork too...unless you guys seem something I don't.

Also of note...the Carowinds ride will be called Intimidator...not White Lightning as many thought or as it was reported. The wikipedia page that said that White Lightning will be announced for Carowinds on Aug. 26th has been deleted and the White Lightning (Carowinds) article no longer exists. The article previously stated Whiteh Lightning will be built by B&M for Carowinds for 2010. So 2 Intimidators...and no White/Whyte Lightnings...yet.

(White Lightnin' used to be a shuttle loop at Carowinds...but it was reported to be the name of the B&M coaster for next year as well.)

Does anyone else think it is coincidence that the MF logo is in that Picture ( Upside down at least ) and the fact that next year happens to be MF's 10 year anniversary? I mean look at what they did for magnums 20th. Well MF is their most popular ride, so it strikes me that they would do something major to it for the 10 year. And the land clearing happening to be right next to MF. IDK I REALLY wanna know when they are releasing plans.

They didn't really do much for Magnum's anniversary. They just had some signs changed, some keychains made, a few speeches on opening day of the season, and an auction for the first seat on the first ride that day. Am I missing something special?

Well I think something is deff. up...the question is whether or not it has anything to do with MF or not. I think it will have something to do with it...yet will be something unique in itself. Could they possibly be building another MF to race with the original?? Highly unlikely...but I'm absolutely clueless as to what is going on at CP right now.

I read somewhere that it's going to be a family-friendly ride.

Well of course they want us to be clueless...they want us to all be insanely surprised about what it is and be thrown for a loop during speculation and then end up having it be different yet exciting when they DO announce it.

Inverted Giga Coaster would be cool... But I don't think they have cleared enough space for that. Unless the new ride would jump over the MF's tracks to the other side of Millennium Island. I just hope it's a bad a$$ MoFo! ;>)

Newest facebook thing:

Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer.

So the list of makers they did not rule out yet.

Vekoma, Intamin, Premier, Zamperla, Zierer, a few kiddie coaster companies and a bunch of little known companies.

That being said, and considering the plot of land being cleared is relatively small (for now), any possiblity of a Premier Spaghetti Bowl???

Deff. has something to do with the ride then to honor a new sponsor...it probably is an Intamin even thought I've said so many diff. things. At this point it probably is Intamin but I just keep throwing out other ideas just in case. If it is Intamin what could it possibly be? Would CP get an Inta-woodie???
