CWMania • View topic - Cedar Point Announces Gatekeeper for 2013

If Cedarpoint were to remove "Space Spiral" and "Disaster Transport" that would mean Cedar Point's coaster count would remain at 16 after the park tore down the 1979 Wildcat at the beginning of this summer season. The question now remains will Canada's Wonderland coaster count exceed Cedarpoint's tally!! If that's the case is it safe to say no more additions for a 3 or 4 year interval gap???

Wildcat was a family coaster; Expect to see another small family coaster like Woodstock Express. Get a credit easily. I would bet a new family addition (aka roller coaster) to be added afterwards. Maybe something like those new Intamin Watercoasters (tallest/longest/steepest drop/most breakdowns in the world anyone?)

Recently posted on CP Facebook page:

Something big is happening. Disaster Transport & Space Spiral will be dismantled this season to make space for at!!$!(*%%. We're sad to see them go, but are excited as we fly into the future. Stay tuned for more!

Coud "fly into the future" be a hint at what the theme might be?

I have a feeling the name to for the ride is 9 letters long.

at!!$!(*%%

I know, its a crazy thought.

I also have a feeling that it will be painted red.

You're not the only one. I immediately thought of that... probably there are people decoding right now.

...and I was right... here it is decoded:

at = 2 = B
! = 1 = A
!$ = 14 = N
!( = 19 = S
* = 8 = H
% = 5 = E
% = 5 = E

Possible name of the ride? ;P

Could be a possibility as Mantis was originally supposed to be called Banshee

It actually was originally called banshee for quite awhile but they had to change it because guests though it was racist.

Great, now we can't trust anything they say...

I decoded it.....I think....when you switch around the letters you get "giga babi". Probably another false clue

Also, if you do some adding, multipling, and subtracting, you'll find out the announcment date (November 22)
