Millenium Rules!! said:
Why does everybody think it is going to be in the 100 foot range? I say at least 200.

I dont think anybody thinks theres really enough room for a 200+ section of track, but probably between 100 - 200 ft.

Extra Credit

What will it do? Roll out of the station into a 135 ft. hill with LIMs/LSMs into a flying snake dive, then going into a Stengel Dive (see Goliath @ Walibi World) followed by some hills and turns. It then slows down going into the midcourse launch, where it reaches it's maximum speed and it's high point, then going into the overbank over the old Swan Boat pond, returning back into the main area of the ride where there are several low helices and a barrel roll and/or a corkscrew. And of course, a smooth finish with magnetic brakes.

Three things you need to fix anything in the universe: duct tape, WD-40, and a hammer. Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't, WD-40 if it doesn't move and should, and the hammer as the last resort.

I like this thread. It's really cool to see everyone's idea of what the ride could be.

---I want to see the spreadsheet myself--

24. What will the refill cup look like in 07? Brown, gold, a retro look with a slithering snake.

Extra Credit

What will it do? Trains will be composed of cars that seat two people. Cars spin freely, and each is weighted so that passengers face sideways, unless encountering lateral gees, which then produce spin on the vehicles. Coaster layout will feature a loop, an Immelman and two other inversions, along with water hazards that appear to soak passengers but which really only get them a little wet.

After loading the train will rise to 117ft on a chain lift hill, obviously drop, I don't know exactly what but throughout the ride it will have 12 inversions, come under the raised station, Lims take over and propell the train to 130mph then after clearing the station it will hit a 200ft loop (making it the tallest in the world), and eventually return to the station.

Blank, if you're right, and you want everything to go down as planned, you better delete this post right away!...if not you, *somebody*, please...if you were recently fired and trying to get revenge on CP, then please be aware that they can get you for corporate espionage...

If you're just guessing, then that's a bit much for just a guess...

2010- Magnum XL-200

From the spreadsheet that MillenniumForceSmurf has on that website, I've calculated the Average Height, Speed & length of track. I hope you all enjoy the little that I've done:

Average Height: 174.05 Feet

Average Speed: 73.38 MPH

Average Length of Track: 4033.08 Feet

Those are the calculations of what he had on the spreadsheet. Sounds like a pretty good ride!


"THE Top Thrill Dragster...THE Millennium Force...THE Wicked Twister...THE Magnum! How do you like those apples?!?!?"

Here's my prediction (it's a guess, all I know for sure is that it's red and tan, and it's an Intamin)

1. Name of Ride: Maverick or Tornado
2. Top Height of Ride: 137'
3. Top Speed of Ride: Around 90 MPH
4. Seats: 2 x 2 in each car, 8 cars, 32 riders/train
5. Total Footage of Track: About 9,000'
6. Ride Time: Around 3:00
7. Riders Per Hour: 1200
8. Launch, Chain, Other: Chain, then launch
9. New Direction: Less sought-after record
10. Sidewinding: Lots of turns closer to ground, head-choppers (I can see where one head-chopper would be)
11. Seatbelt: Yes
12. Lap bar: No
13. Over the head: Yes
14. Will You get wet: If it rains while riding
15. Dueling Coaster: No
16. Splitting Coaster: No
17. Loop: Yes
18. Up side Down: 11x or 12x
19. Ever Move Backwards: Rollback after launch
20. Will Seats Move Independently: No
21. Flyer: No
22. Floorless: No
23. Will It set any Records: Possibly inversions and distance
24. What will the Refill cup look like: Dark red see-thru with "MAVERICK" logo on it

Extra Credit: What will it do? It will go down in history as the most watched, documented, and photographed construction project in Cedar Point history!
