I could almost see one of these going up on the beach over wicked twister was. They seem like they use small footprints and that area of the park could easily put up a compact coaster that goes over the beach or that back midway. Honestly I’d love it if cedar point put in a huge pier out over the lake there and put one of these bad boys (with 15+ inversions) at the end. There’s more land to build on at cedar point than people think. With compact coasters recent popularity and better technology I could see some compact coasters going in several places in the park. I hate to imagine what coaster or coasters are going to be next on the chopping block there. I honestly think we could see both iron dragon and rugorou shut down in the near future (attendance isn’t great for either but rugorou especially). Top thrill is another serious candidate for removal (with the recent accident and normal maintenance issues) and could provide plenty of space for another record breaker. First things first though is to just work that beachfront area where wicked twister was
My hunch is Silver Dollar City. Apparently there is already some clearing going on. And it will have been 4 years since Time Traveler, which is a reasonable distance given the 5 years between Outlaw Run and Time Traveler. Also, I could be wrong, but I remember hearing or reading somewhere that Cedar Fair does not have any large capital investments planned in the near future due to COVID struggles.
Ik this is kinda weird, but what about cga? They are very limited in space just like cp making the terrain challenging I guess? Also they don’t have a multilooper with more than 4 inversions or anything super tall if they went with somethin’ more Karnan style
Cedar Point stated they will be celebrating their 150th anniversary this season so it makes sense. Cedar Point is due for their next coaster. They haven't even gotten a true ground up coaster. Their last coaster was Steel Veangence which was only a conversion.
Let’s also mention that in Cedar Point’s Christmas video, they said they had a project for 2022. Plus, in the Winter Chillout, they had closed warehouse doors that said things like “2022” and “Keep Out”
The gerst is most likely not going to Cedar Point, Cedar Fair has stated that they're holding back on large capital projects, and plus why would they build a new giant Gerstlauer at Cedar Point yet not even start construction on the free spin that they've had sitting in the parking lot at KD for almost a year now
@@ThomasVanHorn No they didn't. Please quote where Cedar Fair said "they're holding back on large captial projects". CP *is* their $$$$ maker. Go watch just about *any* winter chillout (2020) video where CP *themselves* tease a upcoming project in 2022! BTW, there were markers around the Antique cars during said event. CP does most of their new attraction installations over the winter once closed. Steel Vengeance no because it was a remodel of a current attraction. Gate Keeper - yes, Millennium Force - yes Valraven - yes, Top Thrill - yes etc. Imascore, the company that creates custom soundtracks for Gerstlauer also announced a new 'score for Cedar Point 🤔'... "MARCH 2021 First project with Cedar Point As announced in our latest IMAdiary, we’re proud to work with Cedar Point for the very first time.

The park has been voted “Best Amusement Park in North America” in USA TODAY’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards." Of course with all that it's still possible it's not going to the Point. There are more signs it is than it's not IMO.
I really hope that if cedar point break the inversion record they won’t just place it down and have no theming, the smiler theming is arguably one of the things that makes it so famous among enthusiasts so I’d hope cedar point would add at least some sort of theming if they break this record
I am pretty sure that roaring rapids at six flags great America is closed for good because when I went there the sign was gone and the entrance was blocked off 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Concrete falling. I agree it’ll be closed permanently, though I think it’ll be SNO for a while. Can’t envision them paying the $$$ to refurb, but won’t completely tear out due to cost (even though it takes up a sweet plot of real estate). I think Eagle will get some much needed love before anything is done with the Rapids ride. Would prefer a retrack vs RMC treatment, or better yet, a removal for a B&M Out and Back.(extreme wishful thinking, in light of the 200 ft height restriction)

I agree that CP is the most likely candidate. I just hope that they are going to build something special. Truly record breaking then I will be excited. If it is the most inversions on a blue coaster in the upper west of US then I would get disappointed.
I believe CP. It could break the inversion record, either in the US or the world. Possibly the tallest, drop, speed, launches etc. There are several records they could go for. My $ is on inversions. I also believe it will run with either 3 or 4 trains for 24/36 riders per cycle. Many aren't aware the Infinity model can use 1, 2, 3 or 4 trains at once. It doesn't change the elements because each train moves independent of the other 🧐 It's up to the park and what they desire. One more signs it is in fact Cedar Point, Imascore!

I don't think it's going to KI but that vacant Vortex area would fit an inversion, record breaker, very nicely. I know it's not Cedar Fairs business model has of late but it's not out of the question for them to add a big coaster a couple years after getting one. 🤷♂️
Just last week Mattel an announced they are build a theme park in Glendale Arizona with a hot wheels roller coaster. It scheduled to open sometime in mid 2022. Could this be where they will build it. Just a thought.
Or...they pull a curveball and it really goes to SFFT or SFOT or even SWSA 😱😱😱😱 jk that’s impossible unless it actually happens I just want a gerstlauer infinity in TX😂😂
Well it’s not soft because aquaman is going in 2022, but sfft is teasing for a new rollercoaster for 2022, while Swsa is probably getting an s&s swing ride
How were the new policies? I understand, (maybe you can confirm?) you still need a mask on the parking lot tram, as well as in ticket and entry gate lines??? But no longer in queue, walking paths, or on ride?
@@Brisss8 nice. I’ve been on the first two iterations of Lightning Rod (2016 when the launch was full blast, the 2017,2018,2019 for the retrack. Gotta get down there this summer for the new track they installed this offseason, hopefully they fixed that bottom out after the lift hill, that had been a problem since day one) Their policy last year was mask EVERYWHERE, only off while dining. Which can be burdensome when walking those paths from front to back of park, especially during humid TN summers. I don’t mind wearing one indoors, I don’t mind social distancing in queues, but on ride it’s an annoyance.
Im going to say Kings Island first as it desperately needs something record breaking especially after Orion. Orion didn't give them the chance to reveal it as something special last year so Im assuming this might be something to attract the people with the new resort as well. Secondly Dollywood or Silver Dollar City since they said it would be challenging to make and their coaster lineup is pretty weak. 3rd Cedar point since they are limited on land. All in all i believe Kings Island needs a record breaking roller coaster. Last one was Banshee and Son of Beast i believe
One indication what people needs to be looking for is land clearing. That would need to be going on right now. I think it’s gonna be something like steel curtain They may go for the height and inversion record.
I think I'd rather see this come to a park with open space that's in desperate need for a coaster to full it. Some examples would at Kings Island where Vortex or Son of Veast stood, Kings Dominion where Volcano stood, Carowinds where Thunder Rapids or Dinosaurs Alive stood, Holiday World where Pilgrims Plunge and Hyena Falls stood, Dorney Park where Stinger or Dinosaurs Alive stood, Worlds of Fun where Orient Express or Dinosaurs Alive stood, Valleyfair where Dinosaurs Alive stood, Six Flags Darien Lake where the old waterpark stood, Alabama Adventure where Zoomerang, the log flume or the rapids ride stood, Mt. Olympus where Dive to Atlantis stood, Elitch Gardens where the Flying Coaster stood, SeaWorld San Antonio where the Texas Splashdowb stood, Busch Gardens where Drachan Fire stoodand basically anywhere in Six Flags America, Magic Springs, Silverwood, Michigan's Adventure or Wild Adventures where there's room.
I don’t see that happening in light of reduced revenues due to the ‘Rona, and the fact they got Time Traveler and Mystic River Falls (two major projects) in quick succession.
@@mydogvlad Where in the park? My buddy was just there and didn’t notice any markings footers etc. Though he wasn’t doing a dedicated search either. Dollywood has a big clearing behind Dragonflyer, but that was done during the Wildwood grove construction. Nothing new. And KI had fencing around the Vortex plot, but I’m assuming that to keep people from wandering about there.

@@ThomasVanHorn I never said it would happen RN or in 2022. It will certainly be delayed. Also, you know that Cedar Fair prioritises Cedar Point over all other parks, right?

Sending this to my cousin, who’s the Attraction Manager at Dollywood.
I'm leaning towards silver-dollar city. They do not have any coasters of this style and their line up needs another coaster to round it out.
as someone from Ohio, i’m just hoping Cedar Fair bought it lol
They totally did
Noice 👌
@@sideeswipe You have info on this?
@@superRobertoist Ya I have info that they bought it and then decided they didn’t want it anymore so they gave it to Gleenwood caverns
@@sideeswipe Gave it or sold it?

With wicked twister being shut down, and opening up space for a new ride, we probably will see a gerstlauer at cedar point

Cedar Fair hasn’t just been adding theming.
They’re adding lore
Maybe make the track gold themed after 150 years and add a bunch of pictures of old attractions in a museum style queue

It's coming to Colorado at Glenwood caverns adventure Park
You should do a wooden do a coaster turnement
Spinner going to Dollywood.
It was in their survey.
so was a hyper and a dark ride.
Spinner most likely based on how dollywood does things

I'm preying for Cedar Point
Personally, I think that this will be like Karnan, but with a steeper drop and spinning cars.
One indication what people needs to be looking for is land clearing. That would need to be going on right now. I think it’s gonna be something like steel curtain They may go for the height and inversion record.
i could see tallest beyond vertical drop
It might sound crazy but I hope it goes to magic mountain where green lantern and tidal wave where
I could see it go to holiday world
Does the infinity coaster have the capacity for a large park?
I think I'd rather see this come to a park with open space that's in desperate need for a coaster to full it.

Banshee is where son of beast stood but there is plenty of room around it
If this is a Herschend or CedarFair purchase they've done an excellent job of hiding it from employees.
I think it will be Cedar Point and it will break multiple records, instead of just one. That seems to be their modus operandi.
I don’t think it’s going to CP because I think they would have gotten one already
SDC
We are now in September and still no follow-up on this announcement from either Ride Entertainment or Gerstlauer
It’s actually going to Glenwood Caverns 2022. I don’t have a link this second but that’s where it is going.

It’s going in Adventureland Des Moines
Worlds of Fun, final answer
I would not object to that

Kings dominion should get it.
Please be Cedar Point
It’s going to SDC no doubt
I don’t see that happening in light of reduced revenues due to the ‘Rona, and the fact they got Time Traveler and Mystic River Falls (two major projects) in quick succession.
