August 27, 201312 yr New in the Gemini Midway is the Lake Erie Eagles new flying eagles ride. And new coaster called Pipe Scream a ride like Surf Dog!
August 27, 201312 yr I really cant Belive that there bringing Surf Dog Style ride To Cedar Point. Im looking forward to riding the Lake Erie Eagles Because Kings Island Flying Eagles Was one of my fav rides. I do think this Midway Did need Improvments. The Light strands look Cool And i bet they got the idea from the Broadwalk at KBF. I Think frog hopper will clear up the midway and maybe in later years and a new attraction there. And Hotel Breakers, This im looking forward to. It will "spice" Up the Beach area. Looking Forward To 2014!
August 27, 201312 yr Are those two NEW rides or are we losing Surf Dog and some other park losing their flying eagles?
August 27, 201312 yr I still have to say I should have known better with them putting in the live cam on gemini midway...Ugh I hate that they are sometimes very crafty
August 27, 201312 yr That video was absolute trash. If you didn't see the announcement video...save yourself. I was hoping for a dark ride! Maybe for 2015 they'll RMC Mean Streak. The locals hate the ride, the visitors hate the ride. Just re-vamp it already so I can ride it again.
August 27, 201312 yr That video was absolute trash."Acting" could have used some work, but the production quality is top notch
August 27, 201312 yr Yeah it's a random family hyped up and reacting to the hype...but again, it's a family announcement really. However the quality they put into everything, good job. I will say though there are little changes I wonder if they are happening or just a result of the video, I posted all these on pointbuzz
August 27, 201312 yr So with CP getting a Flying Eagles.....Hmmmm maybe there is hope that one will come back to KI...
August 27, 201312 yr They look like great additions for the family and Gemini's Midway really did need sprucing up. This might compete with my brother's "Which park is better" award. I think we can really start to see how Mr Quimet will rule the Empire, I for one am liking what I see. Giving the family what they want, but also satisfying the thrill seekers.
August 27, 201312 yr So with CP getting a Flying Eagles.....Hmmmm maybe there is hope that one will come back to KI... Looks like it's the new WindSeeker. Anyone else besides Knott's get one? Package deal perhaps?

Package deal perhaps? Michigan's Adventure also received one this year. I can't help but now think that Dorney will be announcing one tomorrow as well. It definitely makes me more confident that we'll be seeing the return of the eagles to KI within the next couple of years. Oh, and I love the new additions. They're just what the Point needed. Very close to what I was thinking. The only difference is that I thought they would be placed along the beach similar to WindSeeker. As for that announcement video... yeah. I wish I didn't watch it. Don: please, pretty pretty please, NEVER announce any addition that way.
August 27, 201312 yr This is actually a really nice addition. After opening Gatekeeper I wasn't expecting them to have anything new for 2014. I wish I could go to CP again, but my parents have no desire in going...
August 27, 201312 yr By the way,, the Pipe Scream ride, who makes that? HUSS? Feels like a HUSS ride to me.
August 27, 201312 yr Zamperla, as it states in this article: http://www.newsnet5.com/dpp/news/local_news/oh_erie/New-Cedar-Point-rides-Pipe-Scream-and-Lake-Erie-Eagles-coming-to-the-park-for-2014-season Link to Zamperla's Disk'O Coaster site: http://www.zamperla.com/en/zamperla-details-rollercoaster-disko_coaster
August 27, 201312 yr Looks like one side of the rotating box will be favored for a more exciting ride, just like Surf Dog.That rotation speed is too perfect :/ (I hate the left side, if you're boarding)
August 28, 201312 yr The 2014 info page in case anyone hasn't seen it yet: https://www.cedarpoint.com/what-s-new/new-for-2014 It also has videos and renderings. I was surprised by the additions, but I'm very pleased. Not only will a boring, outdated midway get a breath of fresh life, but the park is starting to add more rides the entire family can go on together, and hopefully this is only the start. I have no complaints, and I even liked the family announcement video. I thought it was funny, unique, and memorable. Yes, it was a little over the top, but it was a cool idea and grabbed my attention and got me excited for next year. Oh yeah, forgot to say that I now have Eagles at my home park. Be jealous, all you KI fanboys!
August 28, 201312 yr Cedar Point should rebuild a new Jr Gemini, The one now is so boring compared to Woodstock express at Kings Island I bet that will bring more kids to ride coasters.
August 28, 201312 yr Jr. Gemini, IMO, is great for really young kids. It just gives them a taste of what it's like to ride a coaster, and if they like it then they can go nearby and try out the more intense Woodstock Express. Jr. Gemini is what can start a kid's love for coasters. I don't see any need to get rid of it.

I know that There changing Jr Gemini s name to something else now, they should build another kid coaster and make it a steel hybrid coaster for kids and name this one Jr Gemini. It would make more sense.
August 28, 201312 yr One interesting thing. The CP website mentions that Eagles riders will be able to control their ride - from mild to wild. Hopefully this means they'll let you snap them. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4
August 28, 201312 yr A few readers on PointBuzz said the Eagles at Michigan's Adventure are able to be snapped and they're the same model.
August 28, 201312 yr Just because they're snappable doesn't mean the park will let you snap them. I've heard of parks where that isn't allowed, though I've only ridden them at KI and Stricker's. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Tapatalk 4
