Checked the webcam and caught this awesome sight.

That had breakers in it for when Dodgem was there... I assume the refreshment stand still uses it.

Off ride and POV of Skyrush do not give the ride justice when you're actually riding it. I have the same feeling watching those videos.

So they have OTSR restraints like Maverick now? Is that in addition to the T-bars as they're still there?!?

They could just power washing the track that way when the do repaint there is no debris on the track that could cause the paint not to fully adhere to the track and flake. The redish orange you see could be a primer that was put on the track back before it was installed.

Just found out nothing will be announced until 2:30pm today

No nothing is confirmed as of right now. If past WCO are any indication participants are asked to not share anything (new information) they learn till after a time in which all groups have had a chance to learn that info as well. No need to spoil something they paid money to go to and losing that perk of the event b/c people want to be the FIRST with the info.

More HIMYM memes are always a good thing

Commons dorms - they are stripped down basic college dorms housing 3-4 people, lockers for each person, typically 2 bunk beds(some have one bunk and a single) a desk of some sort. linoleum flooring and community showers. According in each room Commons Apartments - I belive it's 4 rooms that hold up to 4 people each that share 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette (no stove ...removed a few years ago). Rooms are carpeted ac in the kitchen Cedars - like the Commons dorms except no lockers, no AC (you can have it added for a fee) and everything seems like it's from the 1920s it is the cheapest of any of the options. And it's a stones toss from the park. Bayside Apartments - they are essentially just like Commons Apartments but they have been closed since the end of last off season to be remodeled I may have missed a few things I haven't lived in housing in a few years

Here's a good thread to read about Trailered trains(B&M)vs non trailered ones (PTC) http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1472770

I think it's more annoying that neither side will drop the issue and let this argument get buried in this thread.

I would agree, that way they can have a team work on wiring all the blocks, photoeyes, proxes, and other electical components while they finish the track work.

Welcome, Maverick can be a blast to operate.

Using the theory that the train is not traveling fast enough how do you explain Fury when it flys over two different paths three different times? Just curious.

Mean Streak being open? I tend to avoid that ride, is this a new development? I think you guys are reading too far into things. Tony loves to throw out red herrings b/c the enthusiasts community is very gullible, and will belive anything.

^ Unfortunately, I do not have an off season job at the park. I do how ever have a job to keep me busy till the season starts.

I went out to Battery Park today to get a photo or two Edited in Photoshop Edited on phone Edited on phone

A new Valravn Minute was uploaded today with a few awesome tidbits. [youtu_be] [/youtu_be] CP also added a few more photos of the drop element being put into place http://valravn.cedarpoint.com/rise-to-power/construction-photos

Here are a few CP shots.

I'm a big fan of Skyrush's logo. From the choice of font, the clean lines above and below the font, to the texture of the font.

I feel like this an argument of opinion rather than fact. (Oh wait that's most arguments on the web).

I think it's funny when enthusiasts get really upset when parks calls rides like pipe scream or those Larson loopers a coaster. If I owned a park I'd buy an old intamin gen 1 free fall tower and call it one, just to see the enthusiasts get mad.

It's actually a its a sign with information on it letting everyone know park rules and policies. Screenshot from Google Maps Source

The Sports Complex is being built on the old airport by the entrance to the Chaussee. http://www.sanduskyregister.com/Business/2015/05/14/Update-4-50-p-m-Multimillion-dollar-sports-complex-coming-to-Erie-County.html From the Sandusky Register

If the rest of the ride hasn't already taken it, Maverick's last airtime hill takes most of whats left. I've pick up countless items in that area.
