That would be awesome, but look what happened to the dragons in florida.

what happened ?

[Dom497]

^Objects that have never been identified were hitting people. One person went blind in one eye and Universal has never been able to figure out why. For safety reasons, the dragons no longer duel and alternate (when the blue is loading, the red is on the course, and vice versa)

[MagicMountainFan]

They don't alternate most of the time they both dispatch at the same time and they slow down one of the lift hills until the other goes down the first drop. There's a reason it's described as a chase rather than a duel. There both still on the course at the same time just not perfectly synchronized together.

Parts for the coaster have begun to arrive on site. Looks like it probably will be a wing rider!

Edit: I just realised that this is a few weeks old. Still awesome!

[Dom497]

The announcment will be made on August 13 at 3:30pm at the main enterance of the park. Just over a week to go!!!

[jokey]

Can't wait! This is one of my most anticipated rides for 2013 and it looks like it will be an awesome one!

Probably a minor observation, but on CP's Facebook page where they announce the countdown timer it says, "They will be set free."

Why "they"?

[TheCrypt]

I'm sure "they" are stats. I doubt you'd find a dual racing winged coaster at CP due to spacial constraints, but they've surprised us more than once. Do you see der point?

[kunpc1]

With Disaster Transport and Space Spiral being removed along with the rumoured front gate complete overhaul, I don't think space is going to be an issue. Perhaps "they" are a pair of coasters, the big B&M wing-coaster and a kid/family coaster pair that will replace the 2 coasters they lost this year.

Would'nt mind seeing a spinning coaster of some kind come along with the rumoured Wing Rider...I have yet to meet a spinning coaster that I did'nt have fun on.

I see your point, kunpc, but with the typical Cedar Fair and all their teasers, don't you think that there would be an inkling of a teaser for the rumoured young'un coaster? Also, the only teaser image (that I'm aware of) has a picture of a wing, so it's obviously for the Wing Rider. What colour scheme do you guys hope it has? If it were me and in a different location, I'd say dark blue track with dark green supports. But since it's at the head of te park, I'm hopeful for an orange mixed in the scheme somewhere, or a colour scheme similar to Shambhala in Europe.

Apparently this has been posted on Cedar Point's Facebook page:

That puts us at 15 when we had been at 17 at the beginning of the season.We lost two coasters already this season and I know that we don't like to be behind in our coaster standings. So stay tuned...

Gatekeeper: The Ride has been spotted momentarily online...

http://www.cedarpoint.com/gatekeeper/the-ride has now been deactivated but someone grabbed the following snapshot while that site was active:



I also love the teasers they're putting around the park including:

"How do you recover from a DISASTER?"
"What can outrun an Avalanche?"
"What's taller than Mantis and makes you scream like a banshee?"

[sheldonmans14]

This looks like it's going to be a big ride. Cedar Fair loves them some Cedar Point.
