Cedar Point News

From Screamscape:

2011 - Stratosoar / Thrill Ride - Semi-Confirmed - (8/11/10) While other Cedar Fair parks were opening their presents to Snoopy over the weekend, chocked full of announcements about Planet Snoopy areas with several new rides coming next year, Cedar Point guests were not so lucky. According to CP’s own blog coverage, the big present was opened and contained... Cookies. Yep... just cookies, so we’re playing the wait game again to find out about Stratosoar.
(8/6/10) The latest rumors about StratoSoar is that the Star Flyer style ride will hold 64 riders at once and stand 300 feet tall. I’ve also heard that the new ride could replace Ocean Motion, the park’s swing ship, located right next to the beach.
(8/5/10) We’ve heard from a few readers that Cedar Point has set up a giant present box addressed to Snoopy near Planet Snoopy with instructions not to open it until August 8th. As predicted, this should be next year’s new attraction announcement. While the Stratosoar rumor is the strongest right now, it’s funny how the coaster rumor keeps popping up. Is it just a fanboy dream or a deliberate attempt at misinformation spearheaded by The Point? Perhaps a little of both… and maybe… just maybe… there could be some truth to it. To help keep their record intact, I have heard a new rumor claiming that the park just mightadd a new kiddie coaster to the Planet Snoopy area as well since SFMM is adding a kiddie coaster next year. Gotta keep that coaster count up you know.
(8/3/10) Thanks to one of our readers for the tip, I’ve confirmed that Cedar Fair has filed Trademark application for the name “Stratosoar” on July 16th. Hmm… sounds like a perfect name for a gigantic Star Flyer style ride, doesn’t it? (Of course, since it was filed by Cedar Fair, it could be for any park in the chain… but The Point makes the most sense right now.


Is Stratosaur the name of this Star Flyer???

Whoa... 300 ft is pretty tall... too bad it isn't a coaster, but this is still cool... =D
