Yeah, I forgot CF has a habit of adding rides that are similar to rides at competing parks (floorless and invert.) It still looks like a great ride that I will most likely ride at Knoebels or PKI.

EDIT: I tried a little of that fanboyism as I sit in my dark room, alone. Then my conscious kicked in and realized there are allot of rides that are similar at competing parks.

i'm suprised with how close they are building this to kiddie kingdom. cedar point has a great safety record, but its just a fact of amusement park life that loose articles do happen.

can't wait to be looking down the CP pennisula from 140 feet up nearly upsidedown though.

I thought that to. That their building it so close. But hey, a new ride to go on. This is shure to be a good one.

cant wait to ride it! i said this in a different thread already but ill say it hear. i have never riden a huss giant frisbee but it looks pretty intense. some of the general public might not have a high intensity tolerance. therefore there might be some throwup which might cause a problem. i dont know though so lets just hope that its ok.

Ummmmm......good thinking but I don't think that this is roller coaster tycoon, lol. And CP doesn't really have many high intensity rides.

Merged:
Cedar Point Kiddie Kingdom Construction Begins/ CP 2005.

I hope you realize that coaster/ride that is supposed to top TTD is supposed to come before Kinzel retires...Which is in 2007 not 2005...Sorry bud, but this is just a ride to hold off the GP and enthusiasts until they get their next major coaster. I'm just happy Cedar Point is getting a new flat ride. I've only been there once, but the only flat I wanted to ride was Power Tower. Now when I go back there next summer, I'll have more to ride.

I have a few comments on this annoucement....

1. It does seem a rather 'cheap' addition considering there was no coaster last year -- but hey, I'm not complaining -- they're still spending quite a bit of money on other important things (ie: revamping areas of the park).

2. I wonder what CP will do next year? Will they go yet another year without a major addition....will they add another 'giant' flat....or maybe a small coaster?? I'm interested to see what people think.

3. To the people claiming that CP fanboy's should be mentioning it is a ripoff from PKI -- I have a hard time buying into this one. I do understand the thought of a color ripoff, but how many ways can you build the same flat? It's a pre-designed item that parks order (although perhaps they coulde have it redesigned...I dont know). As far as the colors go though, they look awesome, but I do wonder why they didn't go with something different than PKI.

I think this is a great addition for CP, and I can't wait to go and ride it. Even though it is very close to kiddie kingdom...who cares. One thing I give to CP...they make the most efficient use of ALL of their space, which is slowly beginning to run out.

Now...for all of you talking about a record breaker...what could there possibly be that could top TTD...given the land that is available, or lack thereof?

PS...for those of you who have yet to ride a B & M floorless, it is something I highly recommend...even above a flyer.

This looks fun, but a small kiddie coaster would also be apprecialted. 17 roller coasters, OHHHH!!!!

Ok, a rocket coaster can be designed any way a park wants...Where as a Huss Giant Frisbee is a pre-designed model that rarely get's redesigned to parks specifications...The only thing I could see Cedar Point changing to it, is adding some theming.

So, for those saying CP is ripping off PKI, I highly disagree with you...The HUSS GF is one of the most thrilling rides out there right now, and barely anyone has them. I think it was a great addition, and I doubt CP would have put this in if they thought Delirium was going to cause a problem for it. Frisbees can't be designed like rockets can, so CP "ripping off" PKI's Delirium is total nonsense.

That is exactly what i was trying to say. I guess the only 'copy' argument could be because of the color scheme although I find it hard to believe that they intentionally did it to copy PKI's....but still, I dont think people would complain if, for instance, Storm Runner had the color scheme of TTD...

GASM had the same colors as Magnum when it first opened...That goes with Viper as well. Who realy cares if two rides have the same color. For gods sakes, it's just the colors!

I agree with you. Who cares where it is. It's not in the exact middle of Kiddie Kingdom and hey look what's right behind it. Two thrilling coasters!

I love the colors of this ride. They are going to continue to brighten this are of the park like the past few rides that have been built/moved to this section have.

One question: Where is Trioka going? I must of missed the part on where Trioka is going. Please don't tell me they are going to take it out. They can find a place to move it to, like they always do with their rides.

Also, I have to comment on the sign. That thing is going to be awesome! The huge letters on the ground right in between the ride's supports/legs. It's so much better than the ol' 'sign'.

Isn't Troika right next to Disaster Transport? Do you think it'd be affected by the footprint of this thing, I mean, it can't be getting that close to Disaster Transport...Can it?
