Of course not. But there's nothing to stop the two parks from announcing their attractions on the same day or very close to each other. CP announcing Hurler or Kings Dominion announcing Mean Streak would be stupid.

Saw on Kings Dominion's Twitter that they mentioned the number 816. People are speculating that RMC Hurler will be announced on August 16th. Now, if #TheyreComing does refer to Cedar Fair's two upcoming RMC's, it would be plausible that RMC Mean Streak will be announced on August 16th as well...

I really don't think that HalloWeekends marketing matters. Cedar Point usually makes their announcements anywhere between mid-August and Labor Day for stakeholder reasons. Being able to announce future attractions towards the end of the summer gives potential stakeholders a reason to invest, or...

I've noticed that there was lift hill work yesterday morning when I went to the park (until the high winds hit), and when I checked Twitter this morning, there was more work happening. I think this says a couple things: every major element going directly under the lift hill is complete (doesn't...

Was making conversation with the ride operators at Ripcord (Frontier Fling, whatever) and I mentioned the Mean Streak conversion, to which they replied in Tony Clark's same lying-through-your-teeth tone, "it looks like they're tearing it down." As frustrating as it is, it is impressive to see...

With the new footers on the MCBR, it looks like just a straight line, which both excites and scares me at the same time. Keeping a MCBR there is very risky, especially considering how NTG just loses momentum in the second half and RMC learned from their mistakes from then-onward. They COULD just...

On the note of construction during the season, I agree with the consensus that not a lot will be done, at least on track that is visible within the park. Throughout the winter, I'm sure that the cranes have been taking up space near the railroad and road around the peninsula, and those...

I swear, when they announce the ride, Tony Clark better say "It was ME all along!"

You're not wrong, but I've always been skeptical of RMC taking a year and a half just to finish the track. Maverick was one thing because the land sat empty all through the 2006 season, but RMC just has to build some new wood supports and put in track. Yeah, they've definitely took their time...

So the Mean Streak Updates Twitter page, in response to a guy on their most recent post (which is a not-much-better picture of the inversion), stated that the ride will be ready by Opening Day 2018. If Tony Clark is the runner of the page, I think it's pretty safe to say that we won't be seeing...

So we're twisting as we ascend the "under the lift hill" element AND a possible zero-g roll as the actual element under the hill? Are we talking two back-to-back inversions? Why isn't it 2018 yet?

Greatest blessing is having Cedar Point as your home park.
