Cedar Point 2016- Valravn

The current line for Valravn is going out to the north SkyRide station (at the least). That's insane.

^ crikey!

I don't see much of an actual waiting area? What's the capacity of the queue itself?

Not much, I'm guessing a full queue would be an hour wait with that being the maximum Time on the wait sign.

British queuing/10

That roll though. Nothing like it. It's not a zero g roll, it's more like a perfect 1g roll

Yeah if you sit on the left side of the train

I want to ride it on the right side for that reason. I feel like the best seat will either be front right or back right.

Edit: Anyone else notice that all of the path crossovers are not netted? That's surprisingly dangerous with these trains lol.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing

Finally got to ride tonight; Front Left. It is a fantastic ride! I had some good expectations for the ride, but I was blown away. I much prefer Val over Griffon.

^^^ Full queue, I'm guessing, is 2 hours. That's what the sign goes up to. Not 1 hour.

Ya might wanna check again

With pleasure...

They changed the sign

Yup... That's why I said 2 hours. Not 1...

Damn you are so sassy

well... um....


*runs*

I didn't mean for it to be sassy haha
But yeah they changed it before OSU/Pass night

This was reportedly spotted near Mean Streak's queue line.

Posted this here because I don't think we have enough information to warrant starting a new thread.

Honestly does not look legit.

On second thought, this could be another case of Cedar Point screwing with enthusiasts (like they did with the Millennium Force restraints in February).

Lol if that's real RMC's surveyor sucks ass. Doubt they'd rip out all of the track if they just retracked a ton of it.

Honestly despite how terrible a ride Mean Streak is, it has one of the most badass and intimidating structures of any ride in the world. Regardless of what happens with it, I hope they can manage to keep most of the wood intact. I'm all for an RMC of the ride, but that leaves CP with only 1 true wooden coaster, and I think Maverick achieves most of what an RMC would. In an ideal world I would like to see GCI or GG go ham on the coaster, as neither of them have really done anything on the same scale as Mean Streak (in terms of sheer structure), but thats a bit of a pipe-dream as CP always has to break some form of world record, which RMC is most likely to achieve.

Make GG throw in two corkscrews.

I don't believe it for a second but I'd rather RMC do it than GG or GCI lol. That picture is from TPR which means I can't see it.

K so I did recon from the ahem source of the pink flag pic. I think it might actually be legit now. Orange is usually for utilities, and they've got an orange line indicating a direction there.

Additionally, the picture with the orange triangle and the symbol to the right of the 13 usually represents a tool like an automatic level, which they use to measure elevations. They're probably indicating that they're using a 13ft high plane in reference to a benchmark (metal thing in the ground with a known exact location and elevation). Surveyors will walk around with a measuring stick and measure the difference off of said plane to get elevation data and other stuff.



But seriously RMC leaked their frigging earlier projects when they wanted to hire a surveyor in all of the regions they ended up building something for the 2016 season. Continuous total lack of concealment on their part. B&M was least smart enough to have people stop measuring brakes and crap at 8:30AM on random mornings for the Rougarou conversion and were very subtle about it.
