Missionite wrote: Oh, and the name is pretty much confirmed for our new coaster. It will be called "The Patriot" and permits point to the ride being at the front of the park behind or in the place of what is now Beat Street (behind RipCord).
So Batman is an example of a floorless coaster, right?Missionite wrote: Personally, inverteds are more fun in my opinion as they actually add a different dimension to the mix (nothing below your feet). Floorless coasters have the track below your feet minus the floor. Its just a gimmick if you ask me and really has no effect on the ride experience unless you're in the front row.

I hate to be picky, but I will be anyway. Cedar Fair operates seven amusement parks...not dozens. Also, when Cedar Fair adds a large coaster it usually isn't a copy of another. The inverted coaster they just added at Knott's isn't a copy and the floorless at Dorney Park has a friggen loop as soon as you leave the station even before you get tot he lift hill. So, I doubt Patriot will be a "clone." Why so negative?im2kull wrote:
I wouldnt get too excited. Were likely going to get a generic copy of something else, seeing how ceder fair owns ceder point and worlds of fun, along with dozens of other parks. Ceder Point is their "real" amusement park....WOF is a cash cow. Either way, a new coaster will be nice, though it makes you wonder what they will be demolishing this coming year.
It's supposedly going in the Americana section, so the name is fitting on this one.chrizow wrote: the patriot?![]()
Yeah,Missionite wrote: Incredible Hulk is not a floorless coaster. It's just a regular old sit-down looping coaster (with a launch). Check out the link I provided above for Hydra for an example of a floorless coaster. Or, check out this link: http://www.rcdb.com/ig502.htm

Why so upbeat. Â What has Cedar Fair really done for WOF. Â Sure they build new rides, but they also rip out some of the best things we have ever had. Â Things like the zambezi, The Plunge, and the Pandemonium. Â All replaced for crappy run-of-the-mill rides....and bearstein bear country..and camp snoopy....woo hoo. Â By the way, I never once said the inverted at Knott's is a copy of the floorless at Dorney park...so please dont quote me on things that someone else said. Â Take the time to make two quotes if you have to. ÂMissionite wrote: I hate to be picky, but I will be anyway. Cedar Fair operates seven amusement parks...not dozens.
