New water ride for Cedar Point - Shot the Rapids - YeeHaw!!!
Don't Forget CALL the hotline for 100th show SeasonPass Hotline at (916) 248-5524. Show your appreciation for the show.
Cedar Point much rumored, but never know “what it could be ride” has been released. Shoot the rapids a family water ride with a 85-foot high drop with a heavily theme backwoods a la moonshine. This 10-passenger boat ride will be about 2,100 foot journey though a down home country feud.

While a lot of people were hoping for a new coaster. I find this a good addition to the Cedar Point family.

This looks good. I think worth a trip to Cedar Point to ride this. I'm not all about coaster all the time. I like to see more variation of rides in the parks.  I guess everybody will have to wait for the launch wood coaster for a later time. Everybody let's get wet.

I'm actually a little disappointed in this... I was expecting a new coaster.
