Cedar Point 2016

[The Oi]

They could do a dueling coasters ride where one is called The Decision and the other is called The Return.

A ride like this should be incredibly smooth if done correctly, if that makes a difference.

My friend's father works out at Cedar Point. This coaster is going to go near the Blue Streak where they just moved the Calypso and took out those stupid Turnpike Cars. I'm pretty sure the Cadillac Car ride by Cedar Downs will stay put, but I'm not sure.

Those housing dorms behind where WildCat used to be are subject to move. They're thinking of moving them mainland and just shuttling in the workers.

This is going to be so cool. I literally love going to Cedar Point. It's odd that I hardly ever go. Went last summer for the first time since 2009, and it was fun as fuck, just like I remembered it. This coaster actually looks like one of the first additions I've been excited about since maybe the Top Thrill.

I'm heading out there next month actually. Can't wait.

Stay in the camper village area towards the northern end of the peninsula.

Said about the "Valravn" name for the coaster earlier, this is the first time I have seen a "dark coaster" mentioned.

Cedar Point officials this afternoon sent out a cryptic email to season passholders promising that "August 18, 2015 will be a historic day."

And: "All will become clear for 2016."

It's expected that's the day park officials will reveal the highly anticipated new ride for 2016 – largely speculated by park fans to be a dive coaster or a dark ride.

Park spokesman Bryan Edwards declined to comment further on the email, saying, "More details coming. Stay tuned."

Walt Schmidt, a co-founder of PointBuzz, a Cedar Point fan website, said the announcement of the announcement suggests something big.

"The last time Cedar Point had an announcement event on this scale, they unleashed GateKeeper. So I'm expecting big news here."

On Cedar Point's Facebook page, speculation was running rampant, though most guesses centered on the two most talked-about possibilities: a dive coaster or a dark ride.

A dark ride – two have been added to Cedar Fair parks in the past two years – are themed, indoor rides, similar to what Disney parks are famous for. Cedar Point's will likely feature a pirate, Lake Erie theme.

A dive coaster is a type of coaster created by Swiss firm Bolliger & Mabillard that features wide, four-person-abreast trains and at least one 90-degree drop.

Last year, the park tore down its Good Time Theatre and removed Turnpike Cars, which left a large piece of vacant land where the new ride (or rides) are expected to be located.

Then, earlier this year, Cedar Point trademarked the name "Valravn," a supernatural raven in Danish folklore, which is widely believed to be the name of a new ride.
