A coffee themed ride (actually not a bad idea)

My wacky guess is that Big Dipper is finally saved. Big Dipper is being moved to Cedar Point.

Hmm....well, it obviously could mean alot of things!

Did anyone ever think that it could be some sort of spinning ride or coaster (term brewin')

Or looking at (if its a ride) its location. It'd be back on Millennium Island with an entrance either on the trail, or into the town. The term "brewin'" could also deal with a storm. (A storm a brewin). Old West and a storm you could think of a Dust Devil, or Sandstorm or something. I dont know, guess we'll see.

If its not a ride or something big...then I say a coffee shop or something. We'll see soon enough.....

^I heard Intamin makes some pretty comfortable benches. It's about time CP gets rid of those rotten wood ones.

Maybe a zacspin like Insane? That's something completely different! And if you think about it, something like that could be installed in all/most of the CF parks if they wanted to copy SF with the Tony Hawk big spin?

Nope. Not sarcasm. ...and does it really matter where I got the info from?
They didn't say what it was going to be, just that Intamin was going to be the firm behind the attraction.

That seems like it has a horrible capacity for parks with as many visitors as the CF parks get.

Possibly a Tornado slide in Soak City? Soak City hasn't gotten a new attraction in quite a while.

They're moving Furious Bacco to Cedar Point. Obviously...


You know, the other possibility is that "brewing" means nothing at all and we're all reading way too far into this.

As a matter of fact, it does. If you got it from a random passerby at the park, it's not exactly reputable. If you heard it on a fan site, it's probably not reputable. If you got it from Dick Kinzel himself, it may be reputable. Please at least tell us where you got it.

No you misunderstood. I meant "does it matter" as in, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe the source anyway, so why bother with the details.

I'm praying Cedar Fair got a 2 for 1 deal from Intamin. 1 giga coaster for Kings Dominion. 1 prefab woody for Cedar Point.

Not sure if anyone noticed the latest Twitter update from Tony....

He's probably teasing in several ways, but it just says "Aquatrax?"

Who knows, haha...

If coaster companies gave 2 for 1 deals, there would be no coaster companies left.

An aquatrax would be nice, but how would capacity for this type of ride be?

Ryan, I'm not trying to be a jerk, but you need to lighten up a bit. Of course that isn't a realistic business model. It was just wishful thinking. Don't take things so literally.

An aquatrax would have the same capacity as Maverick.

I'm a little confused. After watching a video on youtube of Atlantis whatever (the aquatrax overseas) I don't see the point. I thought they were half log flume half coaster, but the video makes it look just like a coaster that goes over water and has some standard mist effects. Is that really all an aquatrax is?

^I know, like I said, you guys are truly, honestly speculating that it might be an Aquatrax? They are obviously just playing with us.
