I was on point buzz and it looks like they have posted a video of Walter Bolliger speaking... so here you go!

Kind of ironic that Bolliger was the speaker this year given that for over a decade Cedar Point has been ordering all their major rides from B&M's biggest competitor.

(I know Cedar Fair has been building B&M hypers the last few years, but still...)

They mentioned they had Ron Toomer last year. I'm gonna guess it's been even longer since they ordered something from Arrow <g>.

And they probably aren't too happy with the Intamin guys right now, not that anyone knows who they are. That woulda made for an interesting Q&A, though. "So, about those boats that are too big, trim brakes, and melting wheels..."
