Family Fun Coming To The Point In 2014

Cedar Point has announced their plans for the 2014 season. All of them will take place in the Gemini Midway section of the park. The plans include two new family rides coming to the park.

Lake Erie Eagles, a Flying Scooters ride manufactured by Larson International. This is quite a popular type of ride with installations at Hersheypark, Knott's Berry Farm, and Darien Lake. Also being added, Pipe Scream. A coaster-like version of a Zamperla Disk'O. There is only one other version of this ride, it is Tiki Twister at California's Great America.

Not only that, Cedar Point also announced a two year renovation plan for Hotel Breakers. In phase one, the exterior of the hotel will receive a fresh new paint job. Making it more vibrant. in phase two, the interior of Hotel Breakers will receive a major renovation. I'm excited to see how these new additions will turn out next year.

Banshee announced!

Kings Island announced their new roller coaster, Banshee. The ride will feature 7 inversions, including a dive loop, gigantic batwing, 2 loops, a zero g-roll, and an inline roll. Not only that, it will be the longest inverted coaster in the world! The ride is going to be 167 feet high, reach speeds up to 68 mph, and 4,124 feet long. Banshee will replace the Son Of Beast roller coaster. Which was the tallest and fastest wooden coaster in the world. But suffered from long amounts of downtime and insane roughness. Hopefully Banshee will have a better lifetime than Son Of Beast did.
