I know by its very nature, a rumor isn’t meant to be taken as certain, but this was posted with a level of certainty without any official confirmation from the park, construction permits, or reliable sourcing. While I can tell Theme Park Predictions is passionate about the stuff he posts, his...

What are his sources?

Honestly I don’t think it’s as big of a risk for Cedar Point as it may seem. I think LSM technology and the coaster industry as a whole has changed significantly since 2003, and while Intamin were at the forefront of launch coasters back then, many manufacturers have been able to offer similar...

I feel that most of the arguments against Zamperla retrofitting Dragster seem to center around an enthusiast desire to have Intamin return rather than the park’s perspective. Yes, it’s true that Zamperla lacks experience in this department, and yes, they’ve made some abysmal coasters in the...

Screamscape is also reporting Zamperla, and this seems to be independent of ElToroRyan’s video:

Didn’t the park have some noise restriction that prevented them from building outdoor coasters? Regardless I’m really excited for this one, as it will add some kinetic energy to the Hollywood park.

This is a bit off topic but on the topic of comfort collars, I’m surprised Six Flags never installed more Sky Rocket II’s considering they’re cheap and compact, and they literally built the first one.

I’m cautiously optimistic for this project. I haven’t been to Knott’s, so I don’t have the same attachment to the ride being a historical landmark, and I haven’t ridden T3 to know what the restraints will be like. However, I’m really intrigued by the level of theming being put into this. With...

With this being Project 2.0, does that mean the Orient Express revival was a red herring?

My thoughts on this: 1. It looks really fun! Not as thrilling as I was expecting it to be with the introduction of Titan Track, but it sounds like whatever new ride is coming next year will be more extreme (Project 2.0?). So it makes sense for this to be a family attraction. 2. I wonder if...

Out of curiosity, did they go hire 3Dvip to make the concept animation, or did they go with No Limits like Mystic Timbers?

Isn’t Intamin the Intamin of wooden coaster design?

Looks like the official announcement will be at 10am EST on Thursday:

Are we expecting this to be fully Titan track? I know there’s evidence pointing to this coaster using it to some degree along with the infinity flyer trains, but what are the chances it’s a mostly wooden coaster with titan track on the inversions/possible launch?

Leaked from the park website:

I’ve been on three so far and they all make my top five. I feel that I like them an equal amount and the rankings could easily switch depending on the type of ride I want to ride, but because intensity is the primary factor in my rankings, here’s how I rank them: 1. Intimidator 305- I finally...

After making it out to a couple of new parks this year, here is my top 10: Intimidator 305 (Kings Dominion) Incredible Hulk Coaster (Islands of Adventure) Raptor (Cedar Point) Fury 325 (Carowinds) Millennium Force (Cedar Point) Afterburn (Carowinds) Maverick (Cedar Point) Twisted Timbers...

So what is the “wave turn” like?
