| | | I don't know if anything is going to be big because its September and Most additions have started construction by now. Top Thrill Dragster and Maverick for Example. |

| | | I doubt it will be anything big if they add anything at all. They need to take a few years off.

| | | Maybe I'm a bit off But aren't they added a new family/kiddie area to CP? using the kiddie/family rides from GL. I know it was announced. I'm pretty sure that's the 09 addition unless it was worked into the O8 additions.

| | | Nothing's been announced. I don't really even know of any speculation beyond rumors with no base at all. So this goes to rumors until an announcement's made.

| | | In all honesty, just because somethings not going on right now doesnt mean that something wont go in.
For example, if its a water ride or some sort, it would take a while to announce it and for work to begin. (Not saying that this will be something super major, but a flume ride would be nice for the park). All it takes is a few markers for you to know this year or next (markers back in Frontiertown and markers up by Space Spiral).
And if Mean Streak is going to get retracked, they dont need to announce that for a while.
Remember, alot of the 2008 additions werent even announced until October of last year for ALL of their parks this year.
I guess we'll have to wait and see......

| | | I think Mean Streak's retracking, if done properly and effectively, is certainly enough to make me return next season. It's always looked like a great ride, but it's a painful experience once you're on it.

New for 2009! New wood on Mean Streak!

| | | ^lol.
I personally hope they don't retrack it, and just get rid of it and build a new GCI.
As for next year, though there has not been any kind of announcement or hinting, I hope CP gets a new water ride. With the demolition of White Water Landing, that area of the park's been pretty dry. Pun intended. Or, maybe they're going to update at least some of Soak City.

| | | It seems that in a small way, valley fair and cedar point are connected some what on what rides they get. (At least they are similar) e.g. 2002, CP, wicked twister, 2003,VF Steel venom. 2006, CP, Sky hawk, VF, Xtream swing. (Same ride) 2007, CP, Maverick (roller coaster with western theme) VF, Renegade, western theme.
Its not much but its kind of interesting.
This year we are getting a new wave pool, so who knows there could be some sort of water ride for cp.

as for Nick. I was surprised that the new kids area wasn't Nick themed. but if they didn't do it on this last kiddie land addition I don't think they will.
If they are adding a wave pool to the water park and retracking Mean streak like rummered chances are they won't do more. You might see other capital improvements to the property. A major ride is unlikely. Cedar Fair is also highly investing in other properties this year.
