Draw Cedar Point's Next Coaster

Not sure they would do all of that in one season. That would be one big expansion.

I never understood the point of all of these water parks having more than 1 wave pool.

What I would like to see is an expansion of Bubbles swim up bar.

It's where most people hangout at a water park so on a hot, crowded day (most of the season) having two is better for the guests.


The purpose of a water park adding a second wave pool is to add capacity. An advantage to having two wave pools compared to one giant pool is on less busy days, one pool can be closed thereby reducing staffing requirements.

Due to Soak City's limited land availability, and due to it being separately gated from the ride park, I strongly doubt the park will invest in a second wave pool.

Here's another idea:

1. Use part of STR's layout on the "mainland", but then make the footprint smaller on the island by building vertically. Build a show building, put rocks around it like on MF's tunnels and on Maverick and make it look like a mountain. Theme it to the Peanuts' canoe adventure. Make the last drop the biggest back to the mainland.

2. In the leftover land, build a B&M flyer starting from the old Frontiertown sky ride building. Use the "mountain" and the new water ride to give the Flyer an interesting layout and things to fly over/skim by.

3. Create a new interactive Mack boat ride using the lagoon: "Shoot the Rapids." Put show elements around the lagoon for guests to literally shoot at. Use the same path as Paddlewheel Excursions, but move the entrance to Frontier Trail, next to the new Peanuts water ride.

Wow...That would be amazing. It would also be a superb use of land.

Pretty solid ideas JeffH! I like all of it!

Good idea, but the station and track around the station on the flyer would be cutting off a lot midway. And I also don't think they will build over top of another building.

Halloweekends- Harvest Fear, Tombstone Terror-Tory
Ride Operations- Professor Delbert’s Frontier Fling

Any chance they would take out Skyhawk in the coming years? That would open up room for the station to go there.

Highly doubt it.

I hope not. We already lack in the thrilling flat ride department. I know Skyhawk has had its ups and downs (get it?) though

I think taking out CCMR is more likely.

I could see them moving it if needed, but not scrapping it.

maybe where the carousel building is or along frontier trail between Rougarou/Millennium and STR

Excellent concept and use of land JeffH. I love that the coaster would interact with both midways -- something I look forward to with Valravn's design is being able to be next to the drop/Immelmann. Something like Paddlewheel returning would be a major bonus as well.

I bring you, La Lechuza (Keeping with the Folklore theme, and Old West theme), the World's tallest, fastest, and longest flying coaster.

180 feet tall, 70 mph, 4,200 feet of track, 4 inversions, and low to the ground/water turns.

Goodbye trees :(

I'm definitely in agreement that a flyer would be excellent in that area. The island has so much room with StR leaving. However I do hope they return a third water ride as well.

So, the "Old Mexican Witch Woman that Turns Into an Owl Coaster"? Cool!

I think a flyer would be great for the area.

I'm not sure if CP could pull off the theming on this, but I'd LOVE one of those 'upside down room' type rides (think Alton Towers' 'Hex'), based off of old-school faeries in keeping with the legendary theme.

Not happy sparkly fairies- the sort of powerful, dreaded creatures that people called 'the fair folk' so they hopefully wouldn't turn their wrath on them.

Could possibly go where the old Frontier Carousel/Eternity Infirmary is now.
