They're watching us?

Shame, by the way. About the GCI, not the Togo.

I don't know if they have set a day for the announcement...but not a TOGO or GCI or Aquatrax...and the Beemer joke seems it's not B&M...so I'm kinda stuck here...maybe it's an Intawoodie??

Anyone who has seen this KNOWS how funny yet true it is...those who havn't...you will know.

This is a TOGO BTW in case you didn't know...it's Manhattan Express out in Vegas.


I've been on ME 5 times this year and the only true pain occurs at the bottom of the first drop. But I guess some people just can't handle a little beating.

So embarrassing...

I've never been on it so I wouldn't know how bad it is...but I found that once because I wanted to see how slow it goes in the second half as I've heard and I saw the caption and thought that the video was hilarious.

It actually makes me wanna ride ME more so I can see for myself...although I also have a hard time believing it's as bad as they make it out to be.

Maybe a Eurofighter? Wild Mouse? For CP.

The OnPoint blog from T&T just revealed a bottle that says "Whyte Lightning" "Brewin' 2010"

Also a website at the bottom.

whytelightning.com

Yes they do but IDK they don't have one and yes it would suck but I'm clueless now...even the new blog post with Whyte Lightning has me confused cuz it almost makes you think it's a new drink and has nothing to do with a ride.

Whyte Lightning? That is obviously a coaster. Does anybody know if 'Whyte' is a reference to anything?

I know I'll get flamed for this, but Wildcat is essentially a more interesting wild mouse.

Did you notice that whytelightning.com now has a picture of a cartoon dog hanging out of the top of the bottle?

Inverting Intamin gigacoaster, possibly? Inverted Intamin gigacoaster?!

Somehow, I don't think that's likely. Shame.

Why expect to get flamed? Essentially, you are correct.

Where did the wild mouse discussion originate from anyway? I can't find anything about it.

dmillz said that he'd like to see a Eurofighter or a wild mouse. It's in the post where he gives the link to Whyte Lightning.

I have been in other forums where people go psycho on me for classifying Wildcat as a wild mouse. I love it here, it's very non-hostile.

Wildcat is better than a Wild Mouse...I was just kinda throwing ideas out HAHA.

My uncle said Whyte Lightning is a malt liquor drink made in WV by Crystal Rock...apprently...according to wikipedia...White Lightning (not Whyte) is the name of the Carowinds Hyper coaster by B&M...but it says it was announced on the 26th....today is the 25th...so could we possibly see 2 totally different rides with the same name opened under different spellings??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Lightning_(Carowinds)

Or maybe a ride sponsored by Crystal Rock like Pepsi MAX sponsors the Big One at Blackpool. White Lightning is an awesome coaster name too.

Any ideas?

I'm surprised Cedar Point would get a liquor-themed coaster.

i really hope its something new, cutting edge, something that hasn't been done before. I'm thinking it may not be a launched coaster, due to the fact that Maverick, Wicked Twister and TTD, 3 of the newest coasters, are all launched. But you never know.
Whyte Lightning is a pretty cool name. Im exited to find out what'll be built.

Maybe since they said it's not an aquatrax...it'll be a liquortrax and the ride is a water coaster only it happens in liquor instead of water. LOL

I honestly have no clue...maybe it IS something we've never seen. The Point does have a tendency to do new stuff...

No they don't. They just make existing technology bigger.


Try inverting the colors of the image on the Whyte Lightning website and then zooming in a bit you'll see something quite interesting.
"Careful man, there's a beverage here!"

wild mice are wonderful fun, especially the one at disneys animal kingdom,

there is not a single thing that "sucks" about it

Wild Mouse coasters don't suck...they are just all over the place so they aren't as exciting to ride when you can go anywhere.

Coasterkid i did what you said...where should we be looking?? And does the faint Millennium Force logo (or at least thats what it looks like) have something to do with it?

And pali...I didn't say I'd like to see a wild mouse or a Eurofighter...I was hoping for a GCI so I'm hust kinda thinking of what is left that CP doesn'talready have. I personally would be majorly bummed if CP put in a Wild Mouse at this point.
