Cedar Point 2016- Valravn

#5 says "RMC". Idk if thats due to sloppy hand writting or if the RMC/RNC was an intentional different.

Like others have said. It'll be a good addition for the GP. I would likely take 1 or 2 spins on this, and then fill the rest of my time with Raptor, MF, Maverick, or Magnum.

I think the thing I'm most disappointed with is that there isn't much landscaping to go along with the ride. Like somebody else said, it appears they intend to simply plop it down in the middle of a grass field and call it a day.

It doesn't have to be an enthusiast's wet dream, but at least make it look like you cared.

Tony did say that one of those list items is actually happening. It's probably the Raptor repaint since I've heard rumors of that going around.

A "fake tunnel" like what Raging Bull has would have been nice, but the park is smack in the middle of that lake. Nothing has a basement around there for a reason.

The CP area's high water table doesn't allow for underground building, so a true tunnel can't happen

high*

^my bad, fixed now

Can the underground tunnel not go well with CP coasters? That's a big shame!

Tony Clark lol

Make sure the read all of the way to the end folks.... almost had a heart attack

My favorite part was when he posted the picture and then said "gorgeous"

I have a feeling that if TTD really got that green color scheme, the TTD vs. Kingda Ka debates would only intensify. I'm so glad it was a joke, though Raptor's fake color scheme looked kinda nice IMO

I was super super excited about Raptor's.... I would have been able to get on board with TTD that color, maybe, although that sounded sketchy because TTD has a clear theme and that green does nothing for it.

Still... new paint on both of those will look fantastic.

For ten minutes until the skyrats poop on Raptor lol.

^this

NO!!!! TTD could be Queenda Ka with that new color!

From Tony Clark's Twitter, Valravn construction has gone vertical!

First step to be something giant! My question is... what track part do you think will get this support?

Station. Generally, at least with the B&Ms I've followed, they start station first. Plus the location of the support is about where the station should be. I drove by and saw it today.

[Coasterkidmwm]

Lol I love how the station beams are so thick already and that's not even a tall part of the ride. Pretty blue color.

B&M also start with the transfer track as well.

Not sure if it's been this way for a while, but one of the CP webcams is now focused on the construction site.

^ Speaking of CP webcams, this one is still my fave! Wow a flying bug miraculously photosnapped! Completely face-to-face situation! I was waiting for the chance to post this!

[Mr. Freeze]

Noice one. Was not expecting that one

[TTD03]

And we have started putting track in!
