A ride that CP doesn't have & you wish it would...

In theory yes. But after what happened (The boat flipping over) and the issues before it was an "Enough is enough" for the park.

^And with Intamin being jerks and difficult to work with, that was much easier said than done.

Yup. No shirt, no shoes, no problem.

But no pants would certainly be a problem.

With the way this conversation is going, I think another intamin log flume is a pipe dream...How about a B&M log flume?

I kind of agree with TwisterWicker77, I'm not too crazy about log flumes either.


Steel Vengeance rides: 210

I'd rather be sailing

It seems as if I am one of the very few who doesn’t enjoy log flumes. Maybe because I associate them with having wet soggy feet for the rest of the day. There has to be better rides that don’t get you wet.

I can’t say I’ve ever ridden a traditional log flume that got me the least bit wet. That’s my issue. What’s the point of a water ride that doesn’t get you wet. Maybe it’s because I put my feet up on the seat. But if I’m going to ride a water ride it’s because I want to get soaked. Otherwise it’s kind of pointless to me unless it doubles as a dark ride.

CoasterCam- Come on out to SeaBreeze. Their log flume will get you wet. Still my favorite log flume anywhere.

Stand on the SRF bridge, then go ride the mythical new log flume. Wet and Done.

The rest of us can enjoy a family ride without getting drenched. I’m sure mom/dad or grandpa/grandma want to walk around soaked all afternoon.

I’m not a big log flume fan, but I felt I had to try Seabreeze’s and liked it a lot. However, all I could think about was how awesome it would be if it were still Over the Falls.

I generally hate being wet at all so I usually avoid water rides in general. But sometimes getting completely soaked with a group of friends as we laugh our butts off is more enjoyable than a coaster.

Change of subject, but one thing I have always wondered is why Canada’s Wonderland gets so many cool flat rides. Are flat rides what coasters are to Cedar Point? Are they just what brings the money in there. Most flat rides make me sick so I avoid them but I do enjoy watching them. Some of the ones at CW would be great additions to Cedar Point.

SkyHawk at Wondeland is super fun, but it's not easy to get flipping. I actually watched a youtube video about it to learn how before I went on lol. I'd love to see CP get one. Soaring Timbers, the new flat for this past season, was just ok. My all time favorite flat ride is a looping starship, (the one big flat that Wonderland took out recently). I wish they would have sent it to Cedar Point or Dorney but at least Dominion and Carowinds still have theirs for now.


CP Coaster Top 10: 1. Steel Vengeance (40 rides to date) 2. Top Thrill Dragster (191 launches to date, 4 rollbacks) 3. Magnum XL 200 4. Millennium Force 5. Maverick 6. Raptor 7. GateKeeper 8. Valravn 9. Rougarou 10. Gemini

Looping starships... Not the most comfortable ride in the world.

A lot of parks have removed those Intamin Looping ships.
I’ll agree they’re pretty tight.

The one at Carowinds was one of the worst things I have ever ridden. That was so uncomfortable. After going on it once I said never again.

No love for Southern Star? My wife hates it too, she told me she'd only go on it twice, once during the day and once at night. I'm sure they'll all be gone in a few years.

I Think a new innovative drop tower is due. Demon Drop is the Grandfather of Tower of Terror. Dark Ride Hybrid would be killer.

Cedar Point needs a ride like Timber Mountain at Knott's. It's a log flume, a dark ride and a family ride. And it would fit on the site of the former Shoot the Rapids.

^but then what would everyone on this site complain that the park is lacking? ;)

CPVet we could still complain about the lack of a flying coaster or an awesome woodie. XD

I have a friend who I would consider GP but he knows a good deal about coasters. When I mentioned the lack of a wooden coaster, he flat out said he doesn’t think they will ever get one because most people will see Steel Vengeance as a wood coaster anyway. As a coaster enthusiast that idea really bugs me, but I do see his point. But I don’t completely agree because of Mystic Timbers.

They would continue to complain about the parking, the food and the condition of the restrooms.

If CP is going for 20 coasters by 2020, I could see a small kid coaster (steel or wood) going in the area where the Extreme Sports Stadium used to be. 2019.

In 2020, I could see a huge steel coaster going in the park. Hopefully, a record-breaker.

And, if I had control of things, I would eventually take down Corkscrew and replace it with a small
non-looping GCI.
