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

I went to CP earlier this week and seeing it in person changes the perspective of the ride. It's actually quite enormous, especially with the structure.
 
I don't recall any CF rides being named "Railblazer", and I think a Steampunk Outlaw theme would be good. Will Smith pulled it off, why can't CP?

I'm probably a little late with this statement, maybe. But if CP is going for a Steampunk Outlaw theme, they can do better than Railblazer.

Maybe something like "Steampunk Run" or something like that?

Regarding RMC's redesigned trains - don't expect a wildly new design. They rolled out their 3rd generation of rolling stock last year. Their generational updates might only feature minor geometry changes for added safety, robustness, durability, and/or ergonomics.


Also regarding the Railblazer trademark - the other character on the teaser poster is carrying a hammer:

That looks pretty much like a hammer that railroad workers would use to drive spikes into railroad ties. Take that for what you will.
 
A media hard hat tour has been scheduled tomorrow for the construction. Hopefully some more discussion and details continue from the park as we get closer to announcement.

Both posters have "875" on them. Does this number mean anything significant?

Possible explanations:
1. They'll officially announce the name and details of the ride on 8/7 at 5pm.
2. It'll cost $875 to ride it.
3. There will be 8 trains, each with 75 cars.
4. The first drop will be 87.5 degrees
5. The ride will be closed for 875 days in a row after one week of successful operation to start the 2018 season.

The 87.5° drop seems the most likely out of the 5 reasons you listed.

^ hahaha.

It's going so high! Already taller than Mean Streak was, and still probably 5 more "up" ledgers to go, maybe more, before it levels off?
 
They are REALLY ramping up promotion. I think less than 30 days from a full onslaught of announcement and promotion. Its about to blow.
