Cedar Point to remove Disaster Transport & Space Spiral for B&M Wing

Featured Replies

I know that Cedar Point is the roller coaster central but they don't need a new coaster. Places like Valley Fair, Michigan's Adventure and Worlds of Fun need more coasters.

  • Nice picture online today of Gatekeeper.

  • No. This is a parking lot coaster. Gatekeeper is not even comparable to bland, un-original coasters, like this.

    I'm glad I was able to get some closure with DT. When hearing it was being replaced I was upset because I wasn't going to get to go until September, and it turned out that would be after it's final d

Check this fact out: Cedar Point hasn't gotten a new coaster since 2007 (Maverick). Valley Fair got a kids' coaster last year, but it's been 2007 for them too. Michigan's Adventure got a coaster in 2008 (Thunderhawk). And Worlds of Fun got one in 2009 (Prowler)!

As a Cedar Point guy, I will say that it feels like forever since there has been a new ride. I know, STR is newish, and I'm glad they are making all of these cosmetic upgrades, but it feels like forever. This may also be because of the coaster-every-other-year deal I grew up with... I am excited :)

Not to mention that, at least at Michigan's Adventure, the biggest draw is clearly not the roller coasters. It's the waterpark. Before Thunderhawk, the last coaster additions were a wild mouse and a steel kiddie coaster in 1999--if the park needed coasters to survive, I think they'd have gotten another sooner than 2008.

^And a really nice water park it is. Better than either of its two Ohio counterparts IMO.

You know every Cedar Park has received a roller coaster since 2007 besides California's Great America which is also getting one in 2013. No one should be complaining that Cedar Point is getting all the coasters, Cedar Fair gave ever park in the chain a roller coaster since Maverick opened. Some parks have even received two coasters since 2007, Carowinds, Kings Island, Dorney Park, Canada's Wonderland and Valleyfair.

Michigan's Adventure does not need a roller coaster. That park is profitable for the water park side, not the ride side. There would be no purpose to adding a new coaster to Michigan's Adventure. Some people could argue that Cedar Point is the most due park for a roller coaster. Cedar Point needs new attractions and roller coasters to keep the attendance because it's a destination park. Michigan's Adventure on the other hand, is a regional park and doesn't need roller coasters every 5 years to keep the attendance.

I'm sad to see DT go, it's a really cool and unique ride, but I'm really excited for this new coaster! :) I 'll be sure to ride DT when I'm there on the 28th.

how bout knotts?

How bout Knott's....

I think he made that post regarding the post I made above about all the parks in the Cedar Fair chain.

NEW HINT VIA OnPOINT:

Hopefully another hint will brighten up your day. Don't let us throw you for another loop...

0 7 91 97 21 2

Any ideas?

I haven't found anything yet but I have feeling if one did some multiplying, dividing, addition and subtraction you might get ride stats.

Removing two family-friendly coasters and an observation tower in one season seems to be odd for a company that has said it's placing more emphasis on families...

I honestly don't believe WC was up for a 2012 removal.

Wild Cat was going to be removed at the end of this season. They must of found something major wrong with it for them to take it out when they did. They had the ride ops and everything ready to go.

I know Six Flags has a habbit of taking old rides from other parks to put them in SFMM so they can have more coasters. They renamed them and repainted them.

This one has everybody stumped.

^^Their was most likely nothing major wrong with Wildcat that forced them to take it out. It was due to the cramping of the new Luminosity midway. (Which looks awful, BTW)

I'm going with Crazy Horse again, I was wrong to guess that for Diamondback but I'm bound to be right one of these days.

Watching out for false clues and inversions.... 0 7 91 97 21 2

0- could mean zero g roll

7- for number of inversions

91- this number while watching out for inversions could be 19 as in 19stories tall

97- this number could also be inverted as in 79mph

21- inverted could be 12 passengers per side

2- number of sides (2 sides on a wingcoaster of course)

This one has everybody stumped.

I definately agree with you. The new Luminosity stage looks so awful, it looks like Paramount installed it!

It looks to me like a giant useless pile of steel bars that chased away Wildcat. :)
