Renegade Coming Along
I took a trip past Valleyfair this weekend and you could see Renegade peeping over the trees. Unfortunately, you can’t see much more. It’s stuck in an area that isn’t viewable from the road so I don’t have any good pictures to share.
Cedar Point’s New Coaster – Maverick
Cedar Point, the sister part of Valleyfair, is opening up their own old west themed coaster in 2007 called Maverick.
Maverick is a steel coaster that has an amazing 95-degree angle drop and has linear synchronous motors to propel the train. Meaning it doesn’t climb slowly up a hill, it races up hills.
Reaching speeds of 70mph with amazing old west themed scenery, Maverick looks to be one amazing ride. Complete with tunnels, twists, upside down twirls and much more.
Maverick is Cedar Points 17th coaster and will open in 2007 in Frontiertown.
Renegade Wooden Rollercoaster – New for 2007
For the first time since 1976, Valleyfair is building a new wooden rollercoaster; Renegade.
Renegade stands 104 feet tall with drops of 91 feed. Top speeds are 52 mph and the 2 minute ride will take you 3,113 feet around the track. Two high-performance trains will hold 24 people a piece on each wild ride!
Renegade’s location will be towards the back next to Thunder Canyon. This is a spot that really needs some new attention as not many wonder that far back in the park.
