We all know the story.  At the end of 2003, the Swan Boats were moved from Cedar Point to Michigan’s Adventure.  Everyone thought that the next major coaster would take its place.  The plans were for a B&M roller coaster.  For some reason, this coaster was not build.  Why?  No one knows.  Maybe budget cuts, maybe the world’s tallest and fastest coaster changed things, or something else.  Whatever the reason, I believe the time as come to build this coaster.

 

The coaster would be in, and above, Frontier Town.  The plans I believe still remain the same.  The station would be located in between Cedar Creek Mine Ride and Snake River Falls.  Don’t think it would fit?  Think again.  Take a ride on the train, Paddlewheel Excursions, and then walk into Camp Snoopy and look at the area.  There is tons of room.  The coaster could easily fit on Millennium Island and in the Bone Yard.

 

So then why were the Swan Boats removed?  I have no clue.  I believe they reason they were removed had no relation to this coaster.  The coaster could travel all throughout Frontier Town and actually could have some pretty cool element over the Swan Boat Pond, but no one is quite sure.

 

Now you’re asking, so what are the markings by Mine Ride?  I have no clue.  It seems to me they are marking an electrical line and possibly a water line also.  There are orange/red markings and blue ones.  The markings could be for the next coaster or they could just be for small improvements for the Cedar Creek Mine Ride.  However, it is early in the year to see markings for just small improvements.  Here are the photos that you can view, make up your own mind about and then head to CPForums.com and talk about it.
