2010 - Whyte Lightning - Rumor - (8/28/09) While we still don’t know much about CP’s 2010 project, more and more rumors suggest that it will be a new flume ride of some kind. A nice themed water ride would be a nice change of pace I think if true. The question is… who will make it if it is a water ride? Some rumors have suggested Intamin… but they don’t exactly have a great track record when it comes to flume rides, and so far Cedar Fair hasn’t given Mack’s flumes a shot yet.
Why else could it be a new flume ride? Well it has been pointed out to me that the very name, Whyte Lightning, may be a throwback to the White Water Landing flume that was removed to make room for Maverick. This also makes the “Lightning Strikes TwYce” tagline make more sense. Plus the descriptive terms and “wet” theme of a beverage (Refreshing) could easily be used to describe a new water ride as well.
