Which one? None of those really hint to anything.

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???

[lol][lol] You said Zamperla!
Premier LIM bowls....eww.

Well TECHNICALLY they havn't ruled it out LOL (then again they didn't rule out Meisho either HAHA).

Like I said...highly unlikely...yet technically possible...IMO it's gotta be between Intamin, and MAYBE a slight chance of something from Vekoma like their Stingray, although I can't see CP putting in something like that.

Because this hasn't already been brought to our attention.

When was it posted?

I think the new Ride will be a S&S like Powderkeg in Branson MO Silver Dollar City. I think a ride that would be a great addition to the park. Also it can handle many riders. The Train is the Lightning and the track will be Whyte that is my observation. Twyce the fun means it has 2 hills. The track is the same there and S&S is due to make another attraction at Cedar Point making it the 3rd S&S Installment for Cedar Point. Also the 1st S&S Coaster for the park. Get ready for the announcement.

Umm, in case you didnt read, it has already been said that it is not and S&S

Since they aren't making an S&S this probably wouldn't happen, but its just a thought, "family-friendly" too. Doesn't make sense either, with the name "Whyte Lightning". Add another track to Cedar Creek Mine Ride, and have them "race". CCMD was made by Arrow, which was bought out by S&S, so that's a big reason it won't happen, too. And "Whyte Lighting" and Cedar Creek Mine Ride? Makes no sense.

I still believe the ride is going to be an intamin, due to rumored 5 ride contract i've herd about.

1.) Millenium Force
2.) Wicked Twister
3.) Top Thrill dragster
4.) Maverick
5.) ??? ??? ???

Could very well be an inta-woody...

Fixed [;)]

Alcohol-sponsored family coaster.

The phony sponsor hint was ingenious. But they should just cut the crap and tell us what the damned coaster will be.

Yea that would work well HAHA. I would like an Inta-woodie. Intamin has done pretty much every other type of coaster they make except a woodie for CP, and CP needs a woodie.

Intamin says on their website they can make a 12 inversion coaster. I assume by extending colossus.

They should put that in at CP [:D]

Seriously, I don't think they have a record breaking coaster anymore.

What if it is a re-theme of MF? It will be the 10th anniversary. Also, I think the name Millennium Force is kind of dated...It really is the only ride name that references the time that it was built. So maybe it will be changed to Whyte Lightning.

Anyway, just a thought. Hope thats not the big reveal. But, ya never know.

If it's just a renaming of MF after all this hype, I will be very dissapointed.

I think we all would be. And CP doesn't really have coasters that still hold records anymore...they all just ended up breaking records, but have been passed. WT still is the only impulse with 2 twists I think. Raptor was the first invert with a cobra roll. MF the first real giga. Magnum first real hyper. TTD the first full circuit stratacoaster. Tied for most coasters in a park. SO they broke alot of records...yet they don't hold many of them anymore...so maybe a Colossus style ride is possible.

Maybe an Inta-woodie painted all white...could they do that???

On Twitter it says TWO DOWN....... ONE TO GO. Im guessing this means two woodies, Blue and Mean Streak, and one more to come.

This would seem to satisfy the 5 Intamin's...the wooden coaster they need...and a new ride...and Whyte Lightning is a good name for any coaster...so I think we might be closing in on an announcement.

Two announcements maybe? Isn't that slightly more logical?

And why wouldn't they be able to paint a woodie white? There are a ton of white woodies out there, including one of Intamin's older ones...

That's what I was trying to say...I don't think there is any reason they couldn't paint one white...and I think it would look cool to have a huge white woodie in the middle of the island.

Two Down, one to go, those refer to the press announcements. The two are Kings Dominion and Carowinds, while the last remaining one is lil 'ol Cedar Point.

Intamin Wing Rider...you could use the island and the water for some great low level flybys. I also think this, CF is going with the Nascar thing this year...Nascar started when whiskey runners decided to actually race...Moonshine is often called white lightning...The current wing rider has a giant barrel in the middle of the 4 seats...you are going to be moonshine runners on this ride. Also, all of the island and the paddlewheel course is all manmade, so that could all change.

Anybody know if they have set an announcement date?

Interesting theory.

About CP's records, Raptor was the first coaster ever to use a cobra roll, not just the first invert. Wicked Twister is still the tallest inverted coaster. Are there any other themed bobsleds than Disaster Transport? That'd be a record.

I don't see Cedar Point putting in the 500,000th white woodie.

Re-theming of Millenium Force could go beyond the name. New colors, new trains, new theming, etc. I'd be happy with that. Of course, I may never get to go to Cedar Point again, but if I do, I'll be happy with that.

New trains on Millenium Force would most likely mean OTSR's...which would NOT be happy with. Not one bit.

I'm still hoping for an Inta-woodie

I think a woodie is a good change of pace for CP considering its been close to 20 years since Mean Streak was put it and they havn't had anything wood since. I think not just us...but the general public who just goes to a park maybe once a year would like it especially since Intamin's woodie have a good reputation. Could you imagine something like El Toro being added to CP? And as far as the MF retheming goes...if it ain't broke don't fix it...and I don't think #2 steelie in the world is something you mess with...especially since Six Flags could be playing with fire messing with S:ROS...I havn't heard much as to whether Bizarro is a good or bad change to it.
