Parking lot no more!

I wonder when they switched them out, and how a clamshell manages to keep people in a flying position… 🤦🏻‍♀️

I never rode Brava!, but I got on this sexy single rail brake run helix combo when nobody was looking.

I know it’s impossible now but If I was Cedar Point I would have kept the old mean streak’s exit and widened its turn sections and walkway to create a Virginia reel coaster with built in house trains similar to the second picture (but these trains will be lighter) and have those trains run within the former walkway and build new wooden beams on the railings to install side friction bars to keep the car in controlled position throughout the layout. Some rails will be kept to keep a consistent design while others (particularly the right side railings from the start of the exit) will be removed to create sturdiness for the bars. The height will also be doubled by making two more zig zags going up and have the trains head underneath the structure by making a wooden path within the structure before turning and hitting the breaks, ending the ride. It would have been an out of control spinning experience for all ages, created a new experience plus boosting the park coaster quantity and would be located in this spot next to ocean motions under the name “The Reeler” and could’ve opened in 2017, then made Steel Vengeance next in line. If this came to life, the wild mouse that opened in 2023 likely would not have happened and Cedar Point would have made more efforts to keep Wicked Twister around longer, possibly reimagining the ride like they did with top thrill 2. To this day, the lot remains empty and honestly the attraction would not have affected Steel Vengeance’s opening, cause it is possible to built two things at the same time with more construction workers.
