Cedar Point’s 2011 Attraction will ‘bring back memories’

An update from Cedar Point published by the Sandusky Register has given another clue, along with an approximate announcement date, to Cedar Point’s new 2011 attraction. The new ride for 2011 will be announced in Mid-August. ”It’s going to bring back a lot of memories for people that follow Cedar Point,” said Dick Kinzel, Cedar Fair’s Chairman & CEO.

A look down the first drop of Cyclone, which was removed in 1951

That quote, and atop the rumors that Cedar Fair will be building more Great Coasters International rides, could mean the first wooden roller coaster at Cedar Point since Mean Streak was added 1991. The theme of the new ride could hark back to the day’s of one of Cedar Point’s first coasters, Cyclone, which was added in 1929 (it was removed in 1951).

Prowler at Worlds of Fun was built by Great Coasters International for the 2009 Season. It is ranked #8 in the world.

Is it long overdue for Cedar Point to receive a Great Coasters International woodie? Will they try to build the best wooden coaster on the planet? Leave your thoughts below.

They don’t have an aquatrax or an Intamin Woodie

I was just about to start posting this around that we may be getting a new wooden coaster, the only other thing it could be would be the Pirate Ship ride, but with Six Flags up to 17 coasters it’s almost too easy to believe it’s a Cyclone mock. Great news!!!

If they got an Intamin woodie the park would be complete

If cedar point needs more wooden roller coasters. OR needs to completely remove mean streak as it seems to be the biggest waste of lumber I have ever seen. It looks impressive but its a real disappointment. CP needs something like Shivering Timbers at Michigan’s Adventure or Evil Knievel at SF STL
