Re: Cedar Point Closes Good Time Theatre-B&M Dive Coaster 20
Definitely. CP is usually all about record- breakers (as you probably already know
), So I'm just hoping if they go with the Dive Machine idea, it's out of the seemingly cookie-cutter designs they have been using for the 200 ft+ layouts. :

Yeah. Some good news coming out of CP's Winter Chill Out according to Point Buzz with Turnpike Cars and Sir Rub-a-Dub's being removed from the park, Kiddy Karz moving to Planet Snoopy in the spot previously occupied by the gazebo, the Dodgems and Calypso moving near the Ferris Wheel (Calypso also renamed to Tiki Twirl) and Maverick getting I305's soft OTSRs.
Here's concept art for the new Wicked Twisted area that they posted on their Facebook page

Apparently Cedar Point worked in a humorous slide photo of Outlaw Run as they were reviewing new additions to the park. You can take this as 100% confirmation that Cedar Point is building an RMC, without any question or reservation. :wink:
Also good to hear about the new Maverick restraints. I never found fault with the old OTSRs, but I am taller than most. If this gives a better ride for all, then good.
So to do a quick recap of how all the ride removals and relocations impacts the current park layout:
Here is a mock-up of the Dodgems, Tiki Twirl, and Kiddy Karz (junior Dodgems) relocation to the Wicked Twister Midway. Also included a faux line of incorporating the Kiddy Karz into Planet Snoopy, though we are only talking about one ride being added just outside of the main Planet Snoopy area.
[Edit - I am getting mixed reports on the Dodgems location. The computer rendering shows it being located roughly as pictured above - however others are saying it will sit on the old Sir Tubs spot. Anyone have insight?]
As for how much room is now opened up around the old theater location? Here is an overview. I also include question on the staff dorms across the street, which are rumored to also be on the chopping block.
It's also worth pointing out that Calypso has already been quite a traveler around the park. Of most recent recollection, Calypso sat on the Main Midway, right next to the Pirate Ride and Saw Mill Race. (I believe it sat at another location even earlier - next to Iron Dragon where Wildcat used to stand)
It was located back next to Blue Streak in 1994 to make room for Raptor. The ornate theming was also stripped down to the Calypso we know today.
As it now takes on the "Tiki Twirl" name, those hardcore CPers will know there was an earlier spinning ride by the same name. It stood where the Matterhorn flat ride is now located. This older Tiki Twirl however was a separate ride from Calypso, with Cedar Point having two of the same ride type in the park (both rides were added in 1970). This ride was eventually removed in 1984. It will be fun to see the theme come back!

I've heard that the pass holder ride nights calendar for 2015 was revealed. Does anyone happen to know what it is?

May 8, Friday night, the same day as the annual Ohio State Day. It wasn't announced what ride would be featured, but I'd imagine Rougarou.
So season pass holders can get an exclusive ride on Rougarou... after an entire day of park goers riding Rougarou. :wink:

Re: Cedar Point Closes Good Time Theatre-B&M Dive Coaster 20
I meant like how they had ride nights after hours on some Wednesday and Friday nights throughout summer 2014. The ride open each night rotated between TTD, Maverick, Magnum, GK, and MF (Raptor like once). Does anyone have the 2015 calendar for these if it was released?

^ It can be the longest wait of your day sometimes!
I give CP a thumbs up for any rides that they touch and do not remove. And I give them an additional thumbs up for removing the Turnpike Cars, as they are the most vile thing for parents to climb into with their kids.

Also, don't forget that just because the other cars aren't being removed that a coaster could not be built above them as well as the cleared land!!

Ok, so on Cedar Point's YouTube page, they recently uploaded a video about meetings and such. May not seem like anything of any importance, but about 20 seconds in, they briefly talk about Rougarou, and that it's Cedar Point's First floorless coaster. First. Meaning more to come. I sense teasing. Floorless Dive Coaster teasing. Here's the video. The part I'm talking about is 20 seconds in:

^ Or it could be... the park's first floorless coaster. :wink:
Cedar Point loves touting their roller coasters are world firsts/tallest/fastest. Except Rougarou is not any of those, outside of the park's first floorless coaster.
I wouldn't read into one subtitle on one promo video for a picnic area.

Re: Cedar Point Closes Good Time Theatre-B&M Dive Coaster 20
To be fair, how would they have phrased it if they weren't planning on adding another?
"This will be Cedar Point's only floorless coaster ever"?
"This will be a floorless coaster at Cedar Point"?
"This will be Cedar Point's new floorless coaster"?
There's really no other way to phrase it if they want to present a new coaster type that's unique in the park for the moment, but they're not excluding the possibility of adding more in the future if the ride type proves popular or if some new sweet concept pops up that they simply must buy when they see it, without using a lot of unnecessary words.
"Cedar Point's first floorless coaster" simply is the most efficient way to say it. I wouldn't look too much into the spelling, even if it does happen that a floorless Dive Machine is in the cards.

Alright, I guess I'm over-speculating.
I feel so stupid now...

Re: Cedar Point Closes Good Time Theatre-B&M Dive Coaster 20
Even though I'm a bit late to this discussion about the Winter Chill announcements, I will say that these announcements were fantastic, in my opinion.
While I was never bothered by Maverick's original restraints, the new vest restraints will greatly improve the ride for me.
It's great to see Turnpike Cars leaving as the ride was rather useless as it was in a rather awkward location, was located adjacent to another (much better) car ride, and had very uncomfortable cars.
The relocation of Dodgem and Calypso is really nice to see as they are both classics (worth saving) and it was a great move to tie it in with the Wicked Twister Midway renovation.
Now, I may sound a bit fanboy-ish by these comments, though all of these announcements are some of the best news from Cedar Point in the last few years.
