You also don't have to make soda in secret but I don't see Coca-Cola revealing their secret recipe, now do I?

But yet....

Marketing gimmick....
Coca Cola is made up of individual independent bottling companies, someone at each one would have to know the formula.

Wow, please don't spout off crap as a fact when it's not. First, yes it's a big Marketing thing. I've been to the World of Coke. I saw the whole 'vault gimmick.' But that doesn't mean the recipe is a known thing. If it's so known, do tell what it is.

Also, as for the local bottlers, they receive a mix that they can use to make the soda. They don't have a recipe with with a list of individual ingredients and portion sizes that they use. We can't even get through the summer without someone leaking coaster blue prints and you think that the thousands of employees who work at the bottling plants know the recipe for Coke and are keeping quiet? Really?
Again, they receive a mix that they can combine with water and a few other ingredients. They have no idea what the secret ingredients are in the mix.

Is the old exit ever used? Maybe . . .

Was at the park the other day and noticed through a peep hole that they had markers that formed a rather large circle, its very near where the old White Water Falls entrance was, could be a possible location for the flyers.

The parks are in two different countries, their announcements have absolutely no bearing on each other.

Still, August 30th? Isn't that when Six Flags is making their announcements? This seems extremely late.

I'd say that screams moonshine.

It screams that they are teasing everyone. :lol: I've drunk some moonshine in my day, but never has it been purple.

I hope I'm wrong because I like the idea of the theme but there is no way that happens, in my opinion.

You are probably right, but it just seems strange that one is announcing on the 15th, while the other one is teasing the 30th. My thought process was that since its been a slightly down year for Cedar Fair in terms of revenue and attendance growth, they are breaking up the major announcements to keep investor momentum going an extra couple weeks rather than announcing everything on one day as they usually do.

C'mon, "secret jam" is obviously moonshine. You don't have to make jam in secret.


could be TOE jam...

Breaking down the poster (most of this we knew)
1) Loop(s) - plural recipes
2) Roll
3) Launch
4) maneuvers unmatched (hyperbole? Most launch inversions?)

I know this theme has been used before on Excelerator and Lightning Rod, but is it possible our new Mack will have a (Granny's purple jam) hot rod themed train?

1940's Ford Deluxe coupes were modified and used heavily in the south for running 'shine so here is a pic of a customized purple one.
