Cedar Point Whyte Lightning new ride teaser

[tjpickel2]

Hey CoasterBob62 message me. I want to add you on facebook.Your awesome!You and iCedarPoint are my 2 favorite youtubers ever!

[nintendork2000]

this ride has officially been made.It's now open and It's called Shoot the Rapids.Its logo has the guy with the gun and two dogs in it.

[Michael321990]

shoot the rapids

[Venom4572]

i agree with Spleagels magic mountain sucks coz heres so little variation. theres no different types of rides working together sotheres no pattern and the rides don't work with eachother.

cedar points rides or designed and built much better and fulfill all the necessary features of a great ride, unlike magic mountain.

if you think cedar point is better than magic mountain copy and paste this comment on three other cedar point or magic mountain videos

[stormspinner1]

There used to be a Shoot the Rapids when I was a little girl back in the 60s and 70s. It had a double hill - you went up this big hill, fell part way, and then down you went again. When you hit bottom, SPLASH! Was fun to put Daddy in the back, he was the heaviest. Seemed to make for a bigger wave. LOL Thanks for posting, 5/5 stars!

[tikitone3]

Are you serious?!!! I thought they said you won't get wet? All that anticipation for that! Come on Cedar Point. You let us down BIG TIME!!! I'm going to Magic Mountain to ride some real rides.

[aChristpuncher]

Ive been to magic mountain and cedar point and the difference is like night and day. Cedar point was great, lines were kinda long but I still got to do everything. Magic Mountain on the other hand was a total disappointment, many rides were closed, Tatsu broke down while I was in line and didn't reopen and i got stuck on Superman for like 20 minutes, Six Flags seemed to be run by a bunch of incompetent people. Cedar point is the Bees Nees

[tikitone3]

I agree. I loved X and Tatsu, but the park was so run down and dirty. Batman the ride looked like it had homeless people sleeping around the ride

[aChristpuncher]

Yeah X looked Awesome but it was closed when I went along with Deja Vu and tatsu being broke down. It was such a disappointment we went to customer service and complained. They gave us free tickets to the park which we sold on ebay

[SplEagles]

When my family went a year and a half ago (May 2008), we were lucky. Everything was open, and X2 had opened the Saturday before we went (a Thursday). It was basically walk on every ride but X2. But the coasters really aren't as great. The good ones were X2, Riddler's Revenge, Viper, Tatsu, and Revolution (those were my faves.) Goliath is big, but only gives G's. Almost no air time. Millenium Force is pure air time, I'd say. Cedar Fair beats Six Flags.

[aChristpuncher]

Yeah, I really liked Riddler and Scream but Viper was to bumpy and revolution had those unnecessary over-the-shoulder restraints that my head kept slamming against.

I thought the only coaster that really stood out was Goliath, that helix at the end was insane. Millennium Force would be the perfect coaster if it also had a helix like Goliath.

[SplEagles]

I didn't like Goliath cuz of the lack of air time. Millennium would be good that way though.

Revolution is a classic, though. Viper has great inversions. I seem to not be effected by bumps much for some reason...

[aChristpuncher]

Revolution would have been a great coaster for me if it didn't use those over the shoulder restraints. Every time the coaster took a turn my head would slam into them, it hurt like hell.

Viper wasn't as bad though.

I normally don't mind bumpy rides like wooden coasters as long as your upper body is free to move around without restraints.

[aChristpuncher]

There is also the New york coaster in Vegas which is probably the bumpiest ride in the world but the shoulder bars have an adjustable up&down feature which makes it ride able without head injury, Pretty sweet.

[SplEagles]

Hey I have a shirt for that! I didn't go there of course, never been to Vegas...but my mom and dad went a few years ago for their anniversary and mom bought the shirt cuz I LOVE roller coasters. (My dad loved the ride, my mom hated the part where it apparently twists upside down and drops.

[CedarPointFan267]

you're crazy! magic mountain will never beat out CP! millennium is like the best roller coaster you'll EVER find!

[ttdrider06]

Before Maverick opened, they said that ride was family friendly, same thing with Millennium Force, Wicked Twister, and Dragster!

[tikitone3]

FAMILY FRIENDLY? Come on CP. We want a huge crazy roller coaster!!!

[CedarPointFan267]

I'd like a huge crazy roller coaster too... but then again they have to please everyone... not just us crazy people haha

[SplEagles]

*gasp* Someone who loves crazy rides but understands the need for family ones! It gets annoying reading comments by people saying to tear down Mean Streak (fun), Disaster Transport (kid ride), Mantis (fun), and once even Kiddy Kingdom! All the rides are key to a good park, the problem with Magic Mountain is actually the lack of family rides; they only make coasters it seems.

[CedarPointFan267]

mean streak and mantis are both painful though haha. but yes... cedar point seems to please EVERYONE while most six flags parks are just for crazy coaster riders...

[dragsterpete10]

Hey every 1 i was on the cewdar point website 2 day and theres only 24 hours til they tell us what the new ride is

[dragsterpete10]

hypercoaster there taking thunder canyon 4 hollowweekends

[monorailstudios]

The shotglass that is holding down the top right corner of the paper...are you sure that's a Cedar Point shotglass? A shotglass that I have that is of The Villain from former park Geauga Lake has the same gunbelt.

[CoasterBob62]

It's a Maverick shotglass. It could very well have the same gunbelt glued onto it.

[monorailstudios]

Oh, ok. Just wondering, thanks.

[Rockthedice]

Geauga lake and cedar point have some of the same stuff

[coasterfreak12345]

people have said its going to be a new wooden roller coaster. i hope it is. they need more wooden coasters.

[CoasterBob62]

NEW FACEBOOK UPDATE (9/1): "09.03.09 09:10. All will be revealed." Once CP sends us a media kit I'll be sure to share it with all of you. Thanks again for watching!

[NINJA792]

"Renderin' some video. Looks great!"

by CP Twitter

[CoasterBob62]

OOOHH! Maybe they'll send us a video like they did Maverick. Sweet. Thanks!

[ajk5130]

it is going to be a new water coaster. fact.

[unalphabet]

its the new ride im going to ride it next yer

[Hypercoaster1989]

All I know is that I don't think the rumor about them taking out Snake River Falls is true now, because they said on their blog that they'll be celebrating an attraction's 17th birthday next year. In 2010, that would make Snake River Falls, which opened in 1993, 17 years old. Whatever the new ride is, I just hope it doesn't overshadow Millennium's 10th anniversary!

-Hypercoaster1989-

[jakeasravens921]

I heard that it will be like Atlantis adventure at lotte world....check it out

[CedarPointFan267]

on the CP blog, it has a picture of millennium island on that open field, so they're probably building it there. And you'll probly need to get to it by paddlewheel excursions or maybe they'll make a bridge, OR even a whole new section of the park with stores and then the ride!

[woodencoasterfan]

Has anyone given any thought that CP may have enlisted Mack to build one of their water coaster models. Remember, they've built a few water coaster models including the Journey to Atlantis rides at all three Sea World parks. One of those rides actually reverses it's direction in the middle of the ride.

[calripken8rocks]

Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer.Wed at 1:21pm

thats from cedar points facebook

[woodencoasterfan]

Thanks for letting me know, I don't go on Facebook or Twitter at all. But that still leaves the possibility open for a new log flume as CP currently has none now. Think about it, CP may be the only major amusement park that doesn't have a log flume so that's what they may be hintin at. I can tell you that every park I've been to that has a log flume, the line for that ride is usually an hour long and is usually a very popular family type ride.

[NINJA792]

Sound like it will be World's longest Log Flume ride?????????????

[calripken8rocks]

i sure hope not, that would suck like hell to have all this hype then have a crap ride come

[calripken8rocks]

Them Canfield's & McGee's will still be feudin' down river next year...

about 1 hour ago from TweetDeck

[calripken8rocks]

what this means is they are not getting rid of paddle wheel excursions

[woodencoasterfan]

The famous feud was between the Hatfield and McCoy families, and that was in Kentucky and West Virginia.

[calripken8rocks]

what does that have to do with paddleboat excursions?

And also, it might still be leaving, and the new ride is themed after them

[TsukaBull]

The web page says lightning strikes twice (mis spelt for marketing fun as twYce, like whyte is, get it - right who cares) the thing is - I'm willing to take a guess that this puppy will go forwards, and then backwards. Carowinds had a "White Lightning" ride that I loved, had the same catchphrase.... but I'd expect the peeps at CF will one up that old ride.

[ThatGuyWhoBuildKnex]

Maybe that means something about a dueler :)

[TopThrillDan]

Interesting!!! :D

[XSLProductions]

The clue is referring to the fact that two of the announcements are done with (King's Dominion and Carowinds), and now Cedar Point's is the one left. There was a related post last week that said "KD: 1 CW: 2 CP: 3", the apparent order of the announcements.

[phatsetdrummer]

So did anyone else check out the website that was on the bottle? I know its currently a dummy page but still some interesting stuff there

[NINJA792]

Sound like they will pick one design out of "two down" and One to go is one more day left till Announcement tomorrow????

[CoasterBob62]

"Two down, one to go" is the new clue on Facebook. Hmmmm...

[jjstock80]

Now that i have a son we have been riding the paddle wheel boat a lot . I have been looking at that island wondering what was going on. Heavy duty docks and a acres of trees cut down. This has got to be where the new ride is going to be.

[7Skim4]

My grandparents said they rode the paddleboat the other day, and they said there were a lot of mentions of hillbillies, which is what the Sandusky register called the cartoon characters

[ThePervertedCow]

I think it will be a Dive Machine because it says water and it would be a LARGE icon for the park. oh yeah with a splash down.

[Bendyournoodle]

Isn't going to be a B&M, they've already said it wouldn't be.

[Liquidator016]

These are all the characters from the Paddle Wheel Excursion. Probably creating a story, why they will leave CP so they can clear the land for a new ride.

[quadrazer1]

...or maybe a new Side-by-side coaster? That would be cool!

[quadrazer1]

Living in Sandusky, the local paper didn't have anything new to add. But the Lorain Morning Journal newspaper spoke about a ride called White Lightning was opening at Carowinds in North Carolina ( a park owned by Cedar Fair). Does the 'lighning strikes twice' refer to it being built here at Cedar Point as well?

[7Skim4]

It said something about that in Sandusky's paper too, and I though the same thing

[TsukaBull]

White Lightning used to be at Carowinds way back - before Cedar Fair owned the park. I believe the ride was removed many years ago.

[delidanks]

Hmm.. Maybe a new water ride or dark ride? I would love to see a GCI Woody, but hmm.. I don't know..

[greenmann123]

im confused i though carowinds was going to get something called white lightning until they announced the intimidator today. There is a large shipping crate sitting at carowinds that says "do not open until 2010", and in small letters on the side it says "lightning really does strike twice" so i thought it would be a remake of their old coaster. White lightning.

[NINJA792]

Cedar Point is not building an S&S, a B&M, a Grav. Group, a Mack, or a Gerstlauer by Facebook page of CP

[CoasterBob62]

Yup, I saw that too. An Intamin maybe? They hinted about that on Facebook awhile ago when they first started teasing us.

[DMCoasters]

If you go to whytelightning (.COM)/stats it will ask for a Username and a password, lol.

[ferret72294]

could the the red words mean something, example fires, all, night, strangers= fans

[NINJA792]

I pray that They will remove Mean Streak, Diaster Transport, or Demon Drop next year.  I hate Mean Streak!!!!

[Bendyournoodle]

They'd let us know if it were that, I don't think it's going to happen.

[RockStarOneTen]

Cedar Point loves roller coasters!!!!!!!!

[iamlovingitt]

Can´t you see the coaster in Google earth Bob??

[CoasterBob62]

Hey that's a great idea! I should.....hey, wait a minute...

[iamlovingitt]

:)...

[iamlovingitt]

Did you saw anithing Bob??????

[iamlovingitt]

or "see" I dont know my english sucks ass

[CoasterBob62]

Why do you ask? Do you see something?? It hasn't been built yet!! Are there footers or something? Why do you torment me so?

[CoasterBob62]

In all seriousness, I just downloaded Google Earth...never thought to do that - thanks! Although the images are far from current (what I saw today looked like CP in December) it's a cool way to check out every park in the world! How cool is that!

[stefanoistheking]

From all of these hints, we should know what type of ride it is by now, but to tell you the truth, i have no idea what it is!

[RollercoasterFreak3]

O.K, they have already said no B&M, GCI, Aquatrax, or a water ride. Just making sure that everyone knows....

[funshinebear2280]

Could it be a Gravity Group Woodie? The website says Lightning strikes Twyce! Meanstreak has a lightning bolt symbol...could it really be another woodie?

[ThrillTV]

You have a good point. I think some of the best woodies are the very big then get very small ones like Avalanche (Hellcat) at the Dells. Though, that's more of a roadside coaster, not a theme park kind. They did say commotion on the 'island" referring to Millennium Island.

[KOOLAIDDYLAN]

Did any of you try the website? All it is is a 'new beverage' being made in West Virginia. So all this is telling us is that they are going to be making this beverage at Cedar Point, doubling the price and selling to guests.

[omfg567]

Rofl at you. Its a marketing campaign. They want to trick you.

[restlessbohemian26]

This is going to be good!

[cmaldridge85]

I thinking something else... theres too much promo for a log flume!!! I mean think about!!

[Bobblehead326]

Im really hoping that its a B & M flying coaster. I'm sure Ill be happy with anything that they put in. Thanks Coasterbob for ALL that you share with us... Youre such a great guy!

[WrathOfFlame]

It won't be a B&M, on the blog they said "Won't be taking a beemer out for a spin today, or next year for that matter"

They've been heavily hinting at a GCI woody but one with a moonshine theme?? I guess anything is possible.

[dodgeballer2290]

No the "strangers snooping around" is most likely a reference to the fact that people spotted members of the GCI team talking to Mr. Kinzel around the park around the end of the 2008 season. And yes, the fire is the land clearing.

[MiLeYjBfAnN22]

i bet its an aquatrax inside a mine thats being floded or sommething and maybe a fire effect?

[DMCoasters]

No, CP confirmed on their Twitter and Blog that the coaster will not be a Aquatrax, GCI, and (of course) Togo...

[JKHcoasters]

moonshiners use fire to check if the moonshine is the right mixture and is not toxic.

[hbflash96]

why would they spend so much on promos for a small ride if it isnt a coaster?

[dodgeballer2290]

YOU'RE EXACTLY RIGHT! I never realized that. Good thinking. They would NEVER put out that kind of money for something other than a coaster. They didn't for Skyhawk or maXair.

[Coasterfanatic08]

Because it's Cedar Point...

[yfz01]

fire burning fire burning on the lake shore, fire burning fire burning on the lake shore.

I have no idea what it is... honestly, these hints just confused me more!

[BEGRProductions]

whats with the red letters in the comic?

[babylon2257]

maybe they are relocating Hypersonic...though I doubt it, that ride had a low capacity per hour, and besides, it pales in comparison to TTD...but it is a thought.

[ratchetizer123]

its probably a new coaster. ive heard rumors that there tearing out disaster transport and demon drop for it.

[Brnboy313]

Fire=land clearing people snooping: us!

[sambaas22]

It's gonna be flume, I hate to say it... but it will be

[Robbie295]

Log Flume.Guaranteed.

[angryemobeaver]

I saw the bottle on CP's blog earlier. I'm hoping for a coaster, seems like CF is spending millions and millions of dollars (I'd say atleast 60M.)

[CrazyNemesi]

Are you kidding? CP has spent at least over 500M on their roller coasters...of that 500M TTD (Top Thrill Dragster costs 25M)...so you do the math

[DMCoasters]

That is very cool. I have no idea what they are doing.

[jakems1990]

It's usually just a comic thing, but maybe the red words can be unscrambled to mean something. Talkin' , Commotion, Fires, all night, strangers, snoopin, plan, tell you, soon. gogo unscramble!

[stormspinner1]

OH I miss Cedar Point. Hope it's a new roller coaster! Keep this misplaced Buckeye in Texas updated, PLEASE!! 5/5 stars!

[CP5626]

???

Ok....

what up with the fire burning?  Does that hint to land clearing?

[deathfearsnone]

very interesting can't wait to find out more
