Definitely interesting with all that unused land on Millennium Island just next door.
Beat me to it:
Of course, this could be just removal of a ride at the end of its shelf life and though they may eventually put something on that plot it may be awhile.

Yeah, I expect whatever comes to this area in the future to be a few years away. It will not be the 2025 attraction (at least that is what I assume).
There are a lot of exciting opportunities for what could come in the future, considering that Milli's unused land is near Snake River Falls.
With Thunder Canyon now the only water ride in the dry park, I hope there will be a future water attraction down the pipeline. Considering the survey from earlier this year, a Mack Rides water coaster would be perfect. One can dream.
Let’s compile a bit of information;
- Anyone remember that coaster survey from April? Four ideas; Mack water coaster, Vekoma tilt, Zamperla Family Shuttle coaster, and the stupid Xtreme spinner tower. Last two don’t have a chance in hell of being built.
- The water coaster shown was a leaked pitch for a German park’s 2026 project (Freizeitpark Plohn); therefore, we know for sure they’ve had discussions with Mack sales team.
- Literally the same week the survey was published, corporate signed a contract for the park’s “next big whatever”. No timeframe given, could still be waterpark related but very interesting that this all happened so close together.
Either way something is cooking.

I'd really love to see a new GCI wooden coaster. Station next to Skyhawk, and lift/layout that goes over the water out to the island, and back again. In the vein of Mystic Timbers, Prowler, Renegade, or Gold Striker, but distinctly unique - that's my vote.
Edit: Now I'm just listing other GCIs in the chain.

Didn't take long for RMC to jump in (good luck with that one!)...

There are so many great options for CP with the space this will grant.
That said, seeing the removal of Shoot The Chutes (as old as this one was, and as good as the new attraction will very likely be) will always make me sad. On crowded park days, there's no better place to make a quick stop than one of those drenching bridges.

Oddly enough, they both share a pump with KD's White Water Canyon. With both closed, we can finally run all the geysers.
Is Catapult Falls at Sea World San Antonio a success?
We know this park loves its Intamins... especially now.
A custom variation to satisfy the coaster count while gaining a water ride?

Catapult Falls - Intamin Amusement Rides
Catapult Falls opened as the world first Flume Booster, in 2024 at SeaWorld San Diego, USA. It features a launch section of up to 9m/s.

A lot of these rides are starting to age out, and seem less popular with guests than ever these days. Tidal Force at Hersheypark is back open after a multi-week closure this year (and had a longer downtime last Summer too), and barely pulls a 20 min wait on the busiest days. Although that's a Hopkins model.

Not to suggest anything…But…..something like this would work fantastic
What's even funnier is that this is the ride Cedar Fair leaked in a survey for Cedar Point back in April, which perhaps Mack can't have been too happy about. Point is though, Plohn had that locked in awhile ago and Mack definitely pitched it to Cedar Fair. It is extremely realistic that they were mulling something similar as an immediate Snake River Falls replacement, although given you know and some VERY last minute shake ups I'd imagine these plans are in the air.
(Ignore the bottom left image)
With the removal of both, it makes for a very attractive plot of land for, what I would think, a GCI wooden coaster. A small one but, if creative enough, could be effective. Is the land on Millennium Island still used for the adventure walk through attraction?
Add another one to the list: Cedar Point confirms more changes at the park: See what has been removed
The "Highground" playground structure on Millenium Island (not open since the 2022 season) is also being removed. I didn't even know it had a name, but there you go.

Not sure if it's correct here. But they walled off the town hall museum overnight. Sat there yesterday. Could be something related to this project.
If the park removes Rougarou, they will have enough space for a record breaking 400 ft tall Mack spinning coaster.
They could remove Rougarou and replace it with a Johnny Rocket’s and it would still be an improvement lmfao
