I think you guys are probably reading too much into the West Virginia thing. To me it's just an association with moonshine playing off the stereotyped view that most of the country has of West Virginia.

I have to hand it to Cedar Fair. They've weaved quite a web this year. I feel like I should be listening to "Lux Aeterna" from Requiem for a Dream whilst sifting through all these teasers. :lol:

Not that I'm one to start rumors....

but did anyone notice the logo on the bottle of the Whyte Lightning website appears to be the Millennium Force logo turned upside-down?

Hmmm.....

At the bottom of the whyte Lighting page it says " proudly brewed by the Crystal Rock bottling company WV". Im thinking this is where WV comes into play on the teaser box. Also if this is a racing theme could Whyte Lighting brand be sponsoring a race or car next year?

I think if cedar point put up a picture of cow sh!t you guys could some how relate it to white lightning. This Whyte Lightning is some kind of alcohol? You really think Cedar Fair would use an alcoholic beverage to promote a family theme park? cmon

Surely not since the link was on their own website.

And surely Cedar Fair does not sell alcoholic beverages in their family theme parks.

"promote" was the key word there, selling alcohol and using it to promote the park is two entirely different things. Its why we dont see The Jack Daniels Skytower or The Hennesey Cyclone.

It's a bogus site. There is no Crystal Rock Bottling Company in the state of West Virginia. The only Crystal Rock Bottling Company that does exist is based in Vermont, they sell bottled water, and when I called asking about their new product Whyte Lightning they had no clue what I was talking about. There is no link on the Whyte Lightning site to the parent bottling company's homepage, no place to leave comments, request more info, be put on a mailing list, etc., etc. If that truly is a new drink coming soon to a store near you I would fire the marketing team. Hell, type either Whyte Lightning or Crystal Rock Bottling Company on Google and you won't find a damn thing like what is posted on the Cedar Point link.

They promote beer at baseball games which are for families. Why can't they at amusement parks? ;) And yes I know it's a fake site.

-Somebody should go take some update pics tomorrow just so we can change the subject. :D
