Blue prints drawn up, plans set, and purchase made. But what could it be? My guess is a coaster, to take the lead tie away from MM, but who knows.
Aquatrax?
Flying?
Floorless?
4D?

I'm guessing an intamin prefab wood.
With all the rumors of a new B&M concept, I can definitely see a B&M since CF has been pretty good with B&M (DiamondBack, I305)
You mean just intimidator?
If they got a hyper what happens to Magnum? And I could see them getting a plug-n-play. Top 5: 1) El Toro. 2) Maverick. 3) Millenium Force. 4) Diamondback. 5) X2.

park announced on their blog not to long ago that it's not a coaster.

Well then what could it be? Do they have a sky coaster yet?

It may be one of a few things: 1 Flying Coaster, 2 LIM Coaster, 3 Bob Sleigh Coaster (though I think this has a very low probability), My money is on a Flying Coaster why not beat Tatsu out for something bigger and badder?
Either that, or you know, maybe like, something that's not a coaster.

Hopefully, it's not an upcharge attraction.
B&M didn't do I305... Anyway, my guess is that they are going to do a really big prototype flat. My new name is Aeater333
Maybe a new flat leader?

Yeah I mean who knew they would spend over 10 million on a water ride this year? Twice the cost of our Bucky Battle.
13 Years with SFGAm World!
It's most likely a prototype flat. How often does Cedar Point build new styles of rides that haven't been tested out at other parks? I know in the past they've had a lot of new, next-gen rides put in before other parks and this could be another.
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)
Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades
Where exactly did they announce that the new ride in 2011 would not be a roller coaster already...? I usually follow that blog and they announced that the new ride for 2010 wasn't a roller coaster barely a few weeks before the announcement of Shoot the Rapids. Maybe I just missed this..
I dont remember, it was posted somewhere else, but it was either a sandusky register, toledo blade article or the blog

No new coaster since 2007 going into 2011 ... SFMM is adding a coaster which ties them with CP ... I feel like they may just HAVE to add a new coaster big or small
Well Cedar Point released their first clue which is IEItRmA, basically AIRtImE as an anagram. That basically means that it will be a roller coaster, because the other rumor was a sky swing like they used to have in the lake. We know it is going to target thrill seekers, might have the name Stratosoar, and it will bring back memories. I think wooden roller coaster named cyclone hopefully...
"Park staff later claimed that they were offered a hundred bucks a pop to try to the slide, but refused after seeing that test dummies often emerged on the other end dismembered. The looping slide was actually closed down for most of the park’s life due to these injury concerns."
^The rumored Starflyer gets HUGE amounts of air time due to how long the cycle is.
How can a starflyer get any airtime, its basically a glorified chair swing, it just goes up and down instead of tilting?
"Park staff later claimed that they were offered a hundred bucks a pop to try to the slide, but refused after seeing that test dummies often emerged on the other end dismembered. The looping slide was actually closed down for most of the park’s life due to these injury concerns."
^You are in the AIR for a set amount of time. The clue never said anything about coaster related airtime.
The rumored Wooden Coaster would offer loads of airtime.
Wow, now I feel stupid. It's just when I think of airtime I think of backseat of raging bull on the first drop, that's some good stuff. I think Cedar Point would also mean roller coaster airtime, because roller coasters is what they are known for. I mean stratosoar would be a perfect name for a starflyer but who knows which park is going to get the starflyer cedar fair registered the name, not cedar point. The only thing good about that clue is that it means no B&M flyer, unless they work miracles because flyers just are not known for airtime. I really hope it is a wooden coaster. I just went on Mean Streak I don't remember being that rough last time I was there, last time it was enjoyable, this time sweet lord I was in pain (blue streak is awesome though). Also, the biggest clue in my opinion is that they said intaride would not make this roller coaster. "Park staff later claimed that they were offered a hundred bucks a pop to try to the slide, but refused after seeing that test dummies often emerged on the other end dismembered. The looping slide was actually closed down for most of the park’s life due to these injury concerns."
Just a little update, Cedar Point has been posting clues on their facebook in the form of pictures. Number 1 was a wind generator farm style and number 2 was a dinosaur. Also they have announced Tuesday Aug. 24th as the official date they will release information, btw does anyone know when SFGam will announce 2011 plans. About the clues clearly you have the word "saur" in dinosaur, so maybe a hint there, we already know the name might be stratosaur, the other clue points you to a website in Utah (maybe S&S hint not sure). Does anyone have any ideas about what these hints might mean?

Major spoilers for what is going to be (or what might be..or what may not be? Hmm!) CP's newest ride can be found at:
http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sandusky/2010/aug/19/ride-wars-cedar-point All I have to say is - THANK GOD IT WASN'T GOING TO BE AN INTAMIN PROTOTYPE! I truly think lives were saved by not going w/ Sandor and company.
