Cedar Point | Steel Vengeance | RMC I-Box (Mean Streak Conversion)

Cedar Point momentarily zoomed their Camera 3 onto Mean Streak, which a couple of folks were able to snapshot.

This could be the first sign of added height to the current structure, to (hopefully) reach the 200 ft. mark.

I think this has to do with Goliath @ SFGAm. I think RMC doesn't want to build in the dead of winter in the great lakes region after Goliath after understanding the process of that rides construction progress.

To be fair, they worked in the dead winter of Sweden after that, which is a lot worse!
 
^ There is also no lake effect snow in Sandusky, Ohio; you need to go to Eastside Cleveland to see higher average snowfall. Sandusky gets very cold in the winter, but nothing that cripples construction efforts; the biggest threat is frozen ground for drilling and laying of footers, which can be easily accommodated by laying that ground work before the winter season.

After all, Cedar Point was able to build Millennium Force during the off-season back in 99.

 
yeah its not like they are going to keep any of the old track. Even if they didn't change the layout at all, they'd still replace all of the track.
 
Hard to convert to new track if you don't take up the old.

The thing to pay closer attention to is how much of supports are removed - this will give us a better sense of layout as things progress.
 
of course all of this might just be a distraction so they can install a new heartline roll on Maverick without anyone noticing... lol
 
Older photo, but a dig up of one that had been removed earlier. This photo helps show some of the new lift hill structure that has been added, which *hopefully* will be at a greater incline to provide a larger drop.

Haha, I guess not. I have seen another image source posted elsewhere:

So this is in CP's Holiday Video. In case their was anyone still doubting this should basically confirm that this is a 2018 project.


at 1:30 the screen says "
"Classified Document
2018 Capital Plan Enclosed
Prepared by Richard Michael Crosby"
 
Yes, it's definitely 2018 as RMC confirmed that they will not be opening any new coasters in 2017.
 
But surely if Cedar Fair didn't want anybody knowing it was going to be a 2017 opening, they could easily tell RMC not to tell anyone, until they're happy for the information to be released?
 
Glad everyone seems to be accepting what I've been saying for months. It just doesn't make sense to me that they would announce a massive new coaster and completely overshadow the renovation and expansion of CP Shores.
