Could very well be playing off the Carowinds name or maybe they are using the name?

Not to get too off topic, but Cedar Point included this in their blog post:

Just a tease I guess...

I know this makes me sound dumb, but could you please explain what you mean?

I'm saying that I doubt an aquatrax is what Cedar Point has planned for 2015. I'm thinking that they're just throwing random ride types out there to throw people off. Similar to what Carowinds did while teasing Windseeker with the “Huss GF” and the “GCI Woodie” survey markers. Plus, they already have three water rides.

Seems like all I am reading about is Holiday World and Cedar Point. I thought this thread was about Carowinds??? :/

Do I have to pull this out two years in a row?

It's a B&M (TM)

Well that settles that.

And how many times have you correctly stated what coaster a park would be getting?

Even with the info out there, people are refusing to believe. Whatever.

As for the Aquatrax comment, that's more of an inside joke. Tony was definitely playing.

Please... stop... reminding me.

Also, it's funny that you say that, back in 2012 I made a prediction that the next coaster at Carowinds would indeed be a giga coaster. Sure, I predicted that it would happen in 2014, but still. Also, I predicted that Carowinds would be getting Dinosaurs Alive in 2013, and look at what happened. I'll admit that I was wrong about Banshee though.

First inverted gigacoaster........ by B&M

Quick question: Since Steel Dragon 2000's $50 million, what coaster(s) cost $30 million or more? I can't think of many, if you don't count Disney or Universal.

[gabed]

X (now X2) was built at a cost of $46,000,000.

[DarK Ei8ht]

The only coaster above Steel Dragon is Expedition Everest at $100,000,000.

[Chris]

EE is not the only coaster to cost over $50 million if we include Universal and Disney, but we aren't because most of that money is on the theme and design.

[MarkD]

Steel Dragon's cost was amplified due to adding the extra steel needed for Earthquake safety. If it was built somewhere else it probably would have been $10 mil or so less.

Does anyone here know how much Intimidators or Leviathans train weigh? I'm goofing around with simple calculations, not scientific, to see what speed differences are on different heights and degrees of drop.
