Cedar Point | "GateKeeper" | B&M Wingrider

Re: Cedar Point | "Unknown" | B&M Wingrider?

Some people (facebook fanfare) are apparently saying the name will be Banshee. That and a LOT of people are again whining over the loss of DT and Space Spiral and seemingly wont go back at the loss of that "fantastic" ride

Thoughts?

^It's Facebook, one person starts whining and it becomes the "cool" thing to do. The reason for the Banshee name are due to the two "clues" that have been given so far. One actually being that name given in a symbol code, and the other being the eyes from the original Banshee logo (now the Steel Force logo). I like the name especially if it does turn out to be a wing-rider, but Cedar Point already tried the name once with Mantis so I don't know if they would want to try it again 16 years later.

I love Disaster Transport myself, but it is pretty cheesy and dated and none of the effects have worked for years. Whatever replaces it is probably going to be an improvement. As much as I like DT for being a rare and pretty unique indoor coaster, I think I can cope with the loss.

That and DT will only be good if they sink a lot of money into it, which that made clear that wouldn't. Shame, but we'll have to see.

My first thought when I saw the eyes teaser picture was Banshee. It works more with a wing rider than a stand up anyways. I think people would be outraged with the name, but the numbers will be a lot smaller so it won't cause a name change.

Slightly off-topic, this is understandable for an old ride with low popularity such as DT, but why in ****'s name has a headliner attraction like Maverick been so neglected since it was built? That's in roughly the same boat as far as the effects not working.

^The ride itself works just fine, and that's all Cedar Point cares about.

I guess that's the best explanation; shouldn't surprise me considering Cedar Fair is hardly a step above Six Flags. :roll:
 
Re: Cedar Point | "Unknown" | B&M Wingrider?

The symbols in the second clue spell iut FALSE CLUES. With the rest of the post mentioning they wont make it easy, means the picture may be a false lead, as well as the original post itself with Banshee being spelled out.

For all we know, banshee wasnt in reference to what it would be called, but rather who the manufacturer would be.

Banshee = Mantis original name
Banshee = B&M

Why is that the CP fans look SO far into any clues that are given?

I remember that RIDICULOUS conversation during Maverick's construction about some poster, and all the reasons for them saying "ya'll" or "y'all"...
 
Re: Cedar Point | "Unknown" | B&M Wingrider?

I don't think CP fanboys have got anything on Merlin ones...

It's just number of people who care, isn't it. The bigger the fanbase, the more wtf the rumours go. Especially at parks where it's fairly easy for rumours to drop down the ladder to the fans.

I'm calling Aquatrax. Can't be anything else. Nope, not a chance it's anything else.
