I don't get it.Why do Cedar Point fans think the new ride won't be a L-TH-B?I'm a member a www.thepointol.com and there almost all the members think this ride will have hills and overbanks.I'm a Cedar Point fan,but I can except the fact that Cedar Point will get another short ride.I'm going to laugh so hard when they find out it will have no overbanks or bunny hills.I guess they dont know much about rollercoasters.I have to say that this ride just won't reach 400ft,IMO.

I also believe it's another short ride, I am thinking they're going to a height records but nor 400 feet, I think it's just a bigger Xceleator with a twist or something, just up twist and down, nothing "major" in my opinion, judging from the supports going up.

Completely agreeing. That drawn layout would've killed the rider many times, so it can't be that long -> no bunny hills. (although I don't care or know much about American coasters, this is obivious)

I don't even excactly know how Xcelerator is, but I think the ride hasa same style of layout just some feets taller.

(L-TH-B??)

I think it will just be that inverted or not inverted top hat and then down into the brakes...

Although there might be a chance it will be something like Xcellerator with 2 overbanks or something and then back to the station. Well we will see what it is going to be....

The drawn layout is in theme park mab style. mab style=totally inaccurate. I really hope it will have all those hills, but I doubt it. I do think that it would be a waste of momentum to end the coiaster at 80+mph.

Even if it is a new kind of tophat just thing about going over a tophat at around 350ft & speeding around 20mph over it.Dont forget the launch,going from 0 to around 100-110mph in about 3 or 4 seconds & hitting the brakes at around 100mph to will be sweet too.

I would think hitting the brakes at 100mph would be dissapointing. Think about it, one of the fastest things in the world, and just as it becomes a possible top ten contender, the brakes stop it.
