Cedar Point 2013

[DrAwsome]

In case no one has heard Cedar Point made and big mistake with their website and put all of this up

These are not my pics and all the credit goes to Cedar King on Pointbuzz. It also said that the ride is 2 and 1/2 minutes with a top speed of 67mph

Looks AMAZING!

Much more impressed with this than I thought I would be.very fitting for a rollercoaster to represent the front gate and actually be called gate keeper.

Eh looks like a Bigger version of Wild Eagle.

Disagree, looks better than Wild Eagle, this coaster has more exciting elements and the top of the lift hill looks like a ton of fun.

 

[DrAwsome]

Don't forget we still don't really know what happens after the MCBR. I'm hoping for a nice surprise at the end of the ride

Ok im jealous this looks way better than Wild Eagle. So whats the length on this going to be? I'd guess around 4000-4500 atleast.

Hard to tell but with the 45 degree lift and the amount of maneuvers I'm going with something just over 4k.

The only thing I dont understand is how is this taller than Wild Eagle? This honestly doesn't look taller than 210 ft. imo but it is just concept art.

 

[DrAwsome]

It's not taller. It is labeled as the longest drop for a winged coaster. It is expected that the height will be around 170ft. Wild Eagle's drop is only 135ft.

Wow.

 

[Hatetofly]

Official stats 4164 long with 164 ft drop.

Besides Wild Eagle, all these parks putting in wing coasters are all about the "keyhole" thing.

The ride looks like a lot of fun.

 

[DrAwsome]

I don't think they are all about the "keyhole", but that element is visually appealing and will draw people in. I would say it is similar to the splashdown as it is something that just makes you say wow while watching the ride. I'm very excited about the near miss with the "keyhole" towers after the turnaround.

Pretty awesome! Wish it it was longer though.... 1:13 is kind of short. Can't be picky though, Dragster is what... 17 seconds? LOL

This is one of the few things that makes me kind of sad I moved down to Florida. No more awesome Cedar Point coasters, and no more Voyage within driving distance. I will definitely have to try and make a trip back north in 2014 (already have 2013 filled with another trip).

Leave it to Cedar Point to put in two keyholes when everyone else only has one though

 

[rhino4evr]

Who will build 3 keyholes? 4?, 5?

Wild Eagle has keyholes.

They're called trees.
