CP - S&S thrill shot ride

[VorTeX]

Ground has been broken on an S&S thrill shot ride at Cedar Point in Challenge Park. Not only that, but word is that it's going to be ready by August 1st. (!)
<BR>
<BR>That may very well put them ahead of or at about the same timetable as SFMM. This may mean that they were waiting for S&S to have the parts manufactured and tested and such.

Is that confirmed?

[VorTeX]

I'd say it's 99% confirmed... the people who posted about it were very credible.
<BR>
<BR>Several people posted about the Aug. 1st opening date as well as the ground-breaking.

What don't you get about it? Check out my thread in the American Coasters forum for a picture of what it looks like. The name is rumored to be <!-- BBCode Start --><I>Over the Top</I><!-- BBCode End -->

That's awesome how Cedar Point is gonna get a thrill shot ride. It's awesome! They should also get an S&S TA2K coaster.

This is kinda confusing but if it is in chalenge park wouldn't it not count as a coaster for Cedar Point? because it is not connected to the cedar point amusement park, and is in Chalenge Park. I hope that part is wrong or that they just connect Chalenge park to Cedar Point

Thrill shot isn't a coaster, it's a slingshot thrill ride thingy... and secondly, Challenge Park is as much a part of Cedar Point as the park itself... same goes for Soak City.

<BR>Check out that site for pictures of the ground clearing. Cement footers have been poured as well.
