Hello everyone, this is coaster daddy. Welcome back to another video. Today I want to discuss some coasters that I think could be leaving Cedar Point in the near future. So stay tuned. We've got a lot of stuff to cover here. As all of you probably know, Cedar Point is on a peninsula and it is surrounded on three sides by water. So Cedar Point does not have the option of buying more land and having it connected to the existing park. Being at Cedar Point is my home park. I do realize there's plenty of spots that they could utilize for a new coaster in the future. So they might not necessarily have to remove something right away. But when it comes to a certain point, Cedar Point is undoubtedly going to have to remove some of their older coasters to make way for new, more thrilling and more innovative rides. So the question is which one is going to be leaving next. I'm going to go over a few different options and to be quite honest, I don't have an exact answer of what I think will be leaving for sure. I got some that I think are more likely to start things off. I want to talk about Cedar Creek Mine Ride. Now this ride is actually celebrating 50 years in 2019. So it's a very old ride. It's an aerodynamics mind train. This ride doesn't really seem very popular. It doesn't offer that exciting of a ride experience. It's an all-right family coaster. This coaster does take up a large plot of land though and they could fit something really nice into this area. I could definitely see something like a more modern family coaster or a really nice GCI in the spot. Now Cedar Point has recently hinted that Cedar Creek Mine Ride will be staying around as they posted something on the blog, I believe, about sort of giving it some TLC like with the station. The thing is about revamping the station a little bit. They could also be getting ready for something in the future. I have a feeling that they will reuse the station from the Cedar Creek Mine Ride or at least incorporate it somehow into a new attraction that they will eventually put in that area. I do believe this coaster is definitely going to come out at some point in the near future. It might not necessarily be the next one to go. But I think it's days are numbered. It's had a very long life and I think Cedar Point is going to see this as a prime spot to use for new more exciting attractions. Next up, I'm going to touch on Corkscrew. Now Corkscrew opened in 1976. It's an Arrow Corkscrew model. It's actually really historic. It was the first coaster to invert riders three times. It's also sort of an icon at Cedar Point. Having been there for over 40 years and having those Corkscrews that go over the Midway, it's definitely a really good looking ride for the Midway there at Cedar Point. It doesn't take up a lot of space and I have a feeling this will be sticking around for a little while longer. But it hasn't aged very well. It doesn't really seem too popular and most people do find it to be very painful and to be quite honest, even if they were to get more comfortable trains with better restraints. This layout really isn't that exciting and I wouldn't really see it as being that great of a ride anyway. So I believe this ride is on its way out but it'll probably stick around for a little while longer. A lot of people recently have mentioned Gemini. Now Gemini is another very old aerodynamics coaster. It's actually quite a good ride. Despite being 41 years old this year, it's still fairly smooth, very well maintained, it's a fun ride, it's very high capacity which is good for Cedar Point. The thing is about this ride, it's a good plot of land, not only in size but location too. I don't think Magnum is going to be going anywhere anytime soon. Despite what some people say, I just do not see that going anywhere. I think Magnum has another good 15 to 20 years in it. And I could definitely see Gemini going before Magnum does. And I think Gemini will be leaving again at some point in the fairly near future. I don't think it's going to be the next ride to go but it's a very good spot to put a new more exciting coaster and they could possibly replace it with a newer racing coaster. So this one's really interesting. I think Gemini is going to stick around for a little while longer, at least another four or five years before we see it get the X. I think Gemini is here to stay for a little while longer. The last main coaster at Cedar Point that I want to touch on and come right out of the gate. I think this one might be the most likely to get removed next. And it's pretty interesting considering it's also the newest one out of all these by far. Wicked Twister. Now Wicked Twister is a huge Intamin impulse coaster that opened in 2002. And Cedar Point has been rumored to get this boardwalk expansion lately. And it is supposedly going to go in the area that Wicked Twister resides in currently. There has been some demolition recently around the area of Wicked Twister. We seen that old theater demolished last year. And I think they could be prepping that area to get some new attractions for 2020 and 2021. So I think Wicked Twister is actually a very likely candidate to get removed. It might even happen this year. This could be the last year for Wicked Twister if they were to get that boardwalk expansion for next year. Another really interesting thing to go along with this and the reason a lot of people actually started talking about this is California's Great America released this 20 year plan for things that they want to do in the future. One of the things listed is an Intamin impulse coaster. And it is listed on the plan as being over 200 feet tall and having twists on either end. And it actually shows a picture of Wicked Twister in there. Now I don't see any more brand new Intamin impulse coaster being ordered. It just doesn't seem like something anybody would be willing to spend money on nowadays. And coupled with the fact that it's listed as being over 200 feet tall, I have them double twists. And also picturing Wicked Twister there. This could definitely be getting moved at some point in the future. Now they could move Wicked Twister to another spot in the park. I'm sure as it does take up a small footprint. It's very long but narrow. So they could get moved to another spot in the park. And I definitely be fine with that. I think Wicked Twister is a really fun ride. But I think Wicked Twister's days are numbered and it's probably going to be on its way out at some point in the next couple of years. So if I was going to bet on any one of these rides, I would probably say Wicked Twister is the next to go. And it definitely looks like it may be getting moved to California's Great America based on the plans that they released. Adding to that, Wicked Twister is not a really high capacity ride for a park like Cedar Point who gets these huge crowds on a regular basis every year. So that definitely adds to the case for Wicked Twister I believe. Iron Dragon could also be a possibility for getting removed at some point in the future. One thing that would go against this theory is that VR was recently added to it. So I don't think it's going to be going anywhere in the next five years per se. But these arrow suspended coasters are getting very rare. I'm sure parts are hard to come by and they're going to be more difficult to maintain in the future. So I definitely could see this biting the dust and making way for new expansions at Cedar Point. But do I think it's the most likely option? Definitely not. Let me know what you guys think in the comment. What coaster is going to be removed from Cedar Point next? Do you think one of these rides is going to be it or is there another ride maybe that is more possible? I don't think there is really a whole lot of other options personally that they would consider removing very soon. But if you think otherwise, let me know in the comments below. I want to hear what you guys think about this topic. Are you guys really attached to any of these rides and would you maybe be really sad to see them go? Or do you think that they need to go to make way for more exciting things in the future?
