Since the future of Cedar Point is such a perpetual topic in this group,
I'm glad to pass on some info I received recently from someone who works
in the maintenance department at Cedar Point. He said I could post this
as long as he remains anonymous. Take it with whatever grains of salt
you think are necessary...

He says Cedar Point is *definitely* getting a new coaster for 94.
(Well, definitely unless plans change. ;^) ) It will go on the Main
Midway, starting where the Midway Carousel is and going down the
middle of the Midway toward the Corkscrew. The Carousel will be
relocated to the front of the park to make room for this new coaster.

This much he knows for sure. As for what kind of coaster it will be,
the rumors inside Cedar Point indicate a Pipeline. (Yeah, more
Pipeline/Cedar Point rumors. ;^) ) The rumors say that a Pipeline was
supposed to be added this year, but it was delayed.

Also, there is supposed to be *another* new coaster for 95 or 96. The
Giant Wheel will be moved to make room for this one.

Interesting. I heard last year that a Pipeline was supposed to go in for '93
in the area of the Silver Dollar restaurant which was supposed to have been
removed along with the Pirate Ride. This was of course speculated before Snake
River Falls was announced. As for moving the Carousel to the front of the
park, it is pretty much in the front of the park. They would have to get rid
of some food stands (unlikely) or a 3 yr. old gift shop (very unlikely) to
make room for it. Also, what about the Sky Ride. It goes in the middle of
the main midway over some nice floral arrangements. I hope they don't get rid
of the Sky Ride, also a coaster dividing the middle of the midway wouldn't be
the most aesthetically pleasing thing to do, although I guess that depends on
the quality of the coaster :) Anyway, we have some more CP Pipeline rumors
to add to a growing list! BTW I heard 5 yrs ago that the Pipeling will be
called Bi-Plane.

I heard about this one also but my version of the rumor said it was supposed to
go in a part of the main parking lot and then out over Lake Erie into a tunnel
going under the lake! Speaking of the main parking lot still another rumor I
heard is that the parking lot will become part of the park with a monorail
type ride connecting the park to a new offsite lot. Supposidly they already
own the land for this new parking lot.
