Back in late 2005 when White Water Landing was removed, the park did mention that they were looking into some new flume ride designs for a future project. Could they be purchasing the old Perilous Plunge from Knott's and moving it to CP?

Many CF parks received used rides lately, I don't think CP is immune to this practice anymore. _________________ GL's demise was caused by one mans foolish greed. In the end the truth will come out as it always does.

Skyscraper came from Dorney. And after all, they want the more thrilling rides to go in at CP so they might do some "ride shuffles" to where they're happy. _________________ 2009 - Cedar Point - Giant Wheel Tri/Blue Streak 2008 - Cedar Point - Raptor - Crew Member 2007 - Thunderhawk - Crew Member

What I meant in my post is that MA hasn't received a MAJOR ride, such as a NEW (not relocated) roller coaster. You know, the same kind of major addition GL people were crying about not getting when CF first took over. _________________ I don't like a certain company so everything they do MUST be wrong, even if it's right.  And that makes me look like a bigger fool.

Quote: Michigan's Adventure hasn't seen any new rides since Cedar Fair acquired them in 2001. So let me see if I have this right then.  You don't consider a $6 million Intamin River Rapids ride- which in the News Release was called the biggest addition in park history- to be a major ride.  Good for you.  Thanks for clarifying that it's only your opinion.
