Pretty good move for the park in my opinion. Havent added many flats in past few years, so this should be a nice addition.Read more here :arrow: maXair

This creates a great addition to Cedar Point. Now if GrAm had one...; this one leaves poor Revy in the dust. 8)

There's a ride like this one already in swing: PKI's Delirium.

Sweet, a Huss Gaint Frissbee very good choice by Cedar Point. They have been focusing on coasters lately but they go a different path with one of the best looking flats I have ever seen. I can't wait to ride it next year :).

Very nice, but predictable announcement. :wink: It should work well in the location it will fill and it will be very popular considering everyone goes to Cedar Point to look for a thrill. :D

Man, now I have to decide. CP or SfGadv? Kingda what? :wink:

We have a flat ride like that. It is called 'Revolution'. We just have the normal Huss Frisbee, not the 'Giant' Frisbee.

Yeah, and the ride experience on Revolution is nothing like the ride experience on a giant frisbee...although they look similar from the outside.

Dave, How is the ride experience different? Does it do something different than Revolution?

I've never seen a Giant Frisbee in action.

Revolution is more about the spin, since you sit on the inside and get pushed back into your seat. Meanwhile the Giant Frisbee's are more about the swing, swinging you so high you feel like you upside down at the tops of the swings. You also sit on the outside giving the ride a completely different feel.

That should be a good addition for Cedar Point. I wonder why they didn't want to make the color scheme a little more different than Delirium?

Jason, who's still kicking himself for choosing to ride Drop Zone over Delirium.
Finally Coaster Season!!

Giant Frisbee's give you an awesome hangtime feeling, and your practically upside down at the peek of the swing.... Delirium at PKI is awesome... Although, i dont like that name maXair... that sounds pretty stupid to me.

Why Cedar Point calls their name "Coaster Capital of the world"- the homepage of Cedar Point says that. Is it only to gain customer atention?
