Cedar Point Blog Disappears!!

There was a blog from T and T Describing some land clearing on MF Island as well as an areal view of the park showing the land clearing as well as the rear spike of WT gone from the ride for some reason, then this blog disappeared for some reason. I am betting this is another stunt to get us coaster nuts going again.

Sounds like an April Fools joke released too early.

Sounds like a Way of Cost Cutting OR Not to hype too much about a Splash Fountain and New Shows.

I doubt that island will ever be used for anything but storage and the Terror Island walk-through. They'd have to make a high bridge if they want to keep Paddlewheel Excursions, and that ride's probably never going away.

There really isn't a ton of room to have much going on, on the island. I'm with Steven on this one.

Although I would LOVE to see a new coaster there, the huge queue and exit bridges were going to be the main problem... I saw that coming for a while.

Exactly how tall are the Paddlewheel boats, anyway? (Remember, a bridge could still be built. There's just a chance of it looking weird.)

As for paddlewheel they could build a second station and have it turnaround get on at one point and off on another. As of land, If I remember right there is just enough to build a Huss land of giants (will never happen as they already have maxair) and that does take up some land. I don't see building on this island as terror island was very popular and probably the best haunted area they had...
