Cedar Point: General Discussion

[John]

Sounds similar to the issue that caused the high-speed crash on the S&S coaster in China, though at least TT2 wouldn't crash if it rolled back.

So according to a video posted on social media there might well be a Camel on the loose at Cedar Point that has gotten out of its enclosure.

Before everyone starts asking, we don't need to know how it got there. Sometimes theme parks have camels running around them. These things happen. Every time there's a camel running around a theme park people want an explanation, but Cedar Point aren't under any obligation to give us one. They will deal with it in the same way that every other theme park does. That's all we need to know.

Now personally, I would prefer to see more animals set free within the parks...they have my vote.

Get in the helicopter with the dart gun..

And that's just for the vloggers...

This is a wonderfully wacky thing to happen, just fantastic. Hoping the camel wasn't hurt, and the people too, I suppose.

Have they put out a statement blaming the camel’s manufacturer? All blame must be palmed off!

Looks like someone's got the hump

 

[Danny]

Not sure if deliberate social prank given the day of the week or...

 

[Funcone]

I had to Google hump day. I thought it was going to be something rude, but it wasn't what I thought it might be.

 

[Alsty]

Looking at the video I don't believe this was a PR stunt as you can see in the video it's not controlled in any way. There are people jumping out the way

If that camel's a couple of blokes from the marketing team in a costume, then fair to play them. It's very convincing.

The camels appear to be safely contained now

Much unlike the goats

I just love playing headbutts with goats.
Fantastic hobby.

Cedar Point announcing the closure of Snake River Falls after 31 years.

The area is almost parallel with millennium island were shoot the rapids and the short lived role play and play area was located. So they've got a lovely bit of expansion space freed up.

Personally I'm once again saying a modern wooden rollercoaster would fit this area perfectly.

 

[Maelstrom]

One of the options on a recent survey the park sent out was a Mack water coaster. This would potentially make sense as a replacement ride.

 

[Rob]

A new water ride is surely a must for this site, as once Snake River Falls does close they only have the rapids. A water coaster would be a great addition to the park.

The biggest priority to sort out however is the issue of Fast Lane. They sell so much of it that even on moderately busy days, fast lane waits for the likes of Maverick and Steel Vengeance can be over half an hour. This is simply not good enough when you are paying an absolute fortune for the product.

Mack Rocking Boat, perhaps?

Keen to see how the one at Futuroscope materialises next year.
