Re: Mean Streak Removal - What's Next?
If they are here this early it's obviously because it's either going to:
A) take a whole season to complete (2018)
OR
B) It's going to be opening next season
I'll say it again: If you think RMC is at the roller coaster capital of the world to construct water slides (a couple water slides at that), you are out of your mind.
Multiple RMC cranes are in Mean Streak's infield, why do people look so hard into things that the obvious becomes so difficult to see?
Who said it would be 2018?TommyAlex said:

Re: Mean Streak Removal - What's Next?
Considering Cedar Point has been teasing the whole RMC Mean Streak since 2014 (the first known instance I distinctly remember is it being part of the checklist for Rougarou's teaser on Twitter), Im going to put this down as hyping up for the project, as well as possibly using them for the water slides construction for the water park.
The only reason I can see them teasing it as blatantly as they have been, and for how long it has been going on, is that maybe they will be doing something major in their re-visioning of Mean Streak and adding in elements RMC havent used before in the current projects (example being a regular loop, a cobra roll, a type of inversion theyve yet to twist oddly), as well as going bigger than what theyve done yet for an Iron Horse (its CP, the park full of "go big or go home" coasters with very few exceptions to this).
Regardless of whats going to eventually happen with Mean Streak, this will still most likely be a 2018 project.
Which will give me some time to save up and get the appropriate time off to use for a nice trip back East with the bf :3

Okay, THAT explains the crane. I'd have thought they would wait until the park was properly closed, but apparently not!

Can't help but notice they've left the bents in the turn. Also, there's C-beams on site, which I assume are for the ledgers. http://screamscape.com/html/cp-meanstreak_4.htm

I wonder if they'd consider using a truss structure to extend the height/drop similar to the ones found on Goliath and Wildfire.

They've started removing the lift hill which I think is kinda weird if it's gonna be an RMC...

Not really. Thats where they started with Cyclone (100% certain) and Colossus (not entirely too sure). I think that may have been the start of NTG as well?
Not entirely too sure though as I never really followed that or IRat really >_>

They did start here for the other RMCs, but they left the supports. This is completely removing it!
Either they're going to use a steel lift structure like Goliath and Wildfire, or they're removing it all.
