@@StationWait "Nope" (you aren't getting any answers out of me) Also waiting for the crazy speculation to start with that "180mph" that Tony casually dropped.
No matter how you feel about him, it’s his job to troll us all and stir up interest and point attention on Cedar Point and he does that very well! It’s awesome that he took the time out of his day to let you interview him and even better that you had no hesitation pressing him with the 2024 questions which he obviously isn’t able to comment on. Great Job
Tony is NOT the Cedar Point messiah. Why anyone thinks this yo yo is anything special is an idiot. AND, News Flash. Cedar Point IS NOT the best park in the world by a long shot.
I love your content and I love how Tony and you have a great energy. I've watched this interview quite a few times. Do you think you'll be interviewing Tony again any time soon? I thought it was really cool to hear a podcast style interview about Dorney and getting Tony on just to learn about him a little more would be so cool. I know that's probably one of the tougher things to pull off, and maybe it is a goal for you guys at some point. I know there is so much, even about past projects, that he can't really say, but one thing that has stood out to me is how well he handles the difficult questions, so it would be cool to hear him talk about the industry as a whole, coasters as a whole, etc. I'd love to know what his favorite non- cedar point coaster is, his bucket list park, is anything too extreme for him, if he'd like to do anything after his current position. The big question I have is how much he interacts with other people who share his position at other parks and how the theming at one park can be tied into another. Does his influence and opinion extend beyond cedar point PR?
LOL... I think you MAY have got under Tony's skin a little bit. Not nearly as much as I would have though lol... I'd have HAD to really press him on info about Dragster lol.
Good questions. Tony's good for CP. He talked a lot. 3:20 Is anything you do not F-ing with someone? What?! I can tell that's what Tony thought you said lol but yeah he's messed with people's heads when he'd come up with fun clues to new rides. He doesn't do that anymore. 4:35 Slow moving cars to get in and out of will be interesting to experience. Glad he said TTD rei-maigned will in fact open in 2024. Followed by his usual "Nope" He still does that lol Looked good weather.
@@timothykaczmarek5871 yeah he tends to do that. It might be his way of making sure he doesn't say anything at all. I'd say blink once for yes twice for no ;
@@amusement420 He really IS an arrogant jagoff. 🙄 I can tell you that he thinks his S**T doesn't stink, and he's very rude and obnoxious to fellow staff members. Those who know him and work know what a douchecanoe he REALLY IS. And, btw, the people at Kings Island don't care for him either!!! I can't stand him. 😒
Hopefully the new theme for 2024 for the northeast quadrant of the park from Dragster to Gemini is a sports and/or music theme (blends in well with the Cleveland culture, Backbeat Bar-B-Que, etc) and DEFINITELY NOT something stupid like a space or futuristic theming thing, which is overrated and ubiquitous and works for Kings Island with Area 72, but would NOT work for Cedar Point.
Magnum is futuristic, it will either be a weather related area (power tower, corkscrew) or futuristic, Gemini and magnum. Weather can still tie in with the other rides and is somewhat similar to spacd
I think it will be a space/sci fi theme. Like the whole midway from Power Tower to Magnum gets a retheme. Power Tower stays the same name, but gets a theming update to something more along the lines of the classic "Tower of Power" arcade game that has a sorta rocket/space style theme. Super Himalaya gets rethemed to "Orbiter" or something to do with orbit. Corkscrew stays the same as I feel in the next couple of years it'll be taken out for phase 2 of the expansion which I don't see being a coaster, but instead a Zamperla flat ride package like Aeronautica Landing with a space/flight theme as CP needs more flat rides. I think the next coaster after Dragster refurb will be a GCI in FF plot and Frontier Fling gets removed as well for it.
Blah blah blah "new record " blah blah 180MPH. Falcons Flight will break the hight record at 525ft and 155MPH so if Cedar Point is wanting to break those records 180MPH and more than 525ft will have to be the goal. Don't know if that would happen.
Kudos for trying to get 2024 info out of him! Great interview!
Thank you thank you
The way he looks away as soon as you mentioned the 2024 project at 7:01 is definitely a sign like: "I don't wanna talk about this"
That “nope” comment at the end was all we needed to hear
That was a definite “I’m not taking about that” nope
@@StationWait "Nope" (you aren't getting any answers out of me)

@@moorecoasters3293 that’s what I was going to say about the 180mph lol
I almost jokingly asked if that was a hint but I want him to not hate me lol
@@StationWait haha right!!

Big props to you for asking about the Dragster. He did not seem happy that you asked, but im glad you took one for journalism!
Thank you Tony for everything you do to make our park the best in the world!

Tony said 180 mph!! 😮 🤣
LOL... I think you MAY have got under Tony's skin a little bit. Not nearly as much as I would have though lol... I'd have HAD to really press him on info about Dragster lol.
I did hear that too,next coaster they are going to build is going to top Steel Vegence.
I met him last day of the season last year he was so like ready to get out of the park
Great video, glad you got the opportunity for this!
When he said this ride doesn’t go 180 mph. So is the new coaster going to go 180
No
I think Tony slipped a dragster hint 180mph
Was 180 mph an accidental slip? Wish we could get a follow up question.
No, no it was not
Very awkward interview
IKR
Tony is definitely avoiding something. You can tell in his tone of voice.
👍
Killed early entry.😢
Your from Buffalo, New York?! I attended Canisius High School and grew up w SFDL as my hp
Hey! Small world! I grew up in Buffalo, moved away, and came back
The girl that wanders into frame at 6:35 😂
josh looks like bren from microwave society ngl
He kinda does lol
Any hints by dragster?? (Edit) I was tired when I said that.
That wasn’t a tease lol

Bunch of insufferable enthusiast questions.
Insufferable opinion tbh

I highly doubt that. Tony has said that they are done focusing on records
