Fooz Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I love mantis' second half, its so wacky with a lot of changes in direction. Much more interesting than most looping B&M endings, I think. (So sick of interlocking corkscrews) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 My last trip to CP I rode Mantis around 8PM, and really really enjoyed it. My legs were sore from walking all day and the G force pulling the blood to my legs really helped afterwards. From what I could tell the trim was off and we barely slowed down at the MCBR. Maybe I just had a good run, but I found it enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbcoasterfan Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 ^ Ah you beat me to it! Space Spiral came down this morning. This picture was sent to me (Sorry for the poor quality, it was taken with a cell phone camera). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauga Dog Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 ^Wow, that just looks... unreal. They weren't kidding when they said they would just rip the tower down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UrbanLegend Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Did they really just make it fall like that?? I... guess they knew what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernierocker Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 That's a pretty cool video besides the major fail on the orientation! Hopefully, some more close-up videos pop up here in the next couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oriolat Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hey, look! It's Dollywood's Timber Tower! And it's running with less downtime! Ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) As a Sandusky native that tower is truly iconic to me. I feel bad watching it fall like that. I am glad to see Cedar Point had enough sense to drop it like that on the 12th and not the 11th. Edited September 12, 2012 by dragonskeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterStreak Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The official video shows a much better view of the tower landing. Awesome to see the cabin land perfectly in its little hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalCoasters Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Wow. At least it went out with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSHIE Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I love the way the cabin actually moves upwards as it fell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hilltopper39 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So......we can assume that they are still re-locating it to Michigan's Adventure then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMJr Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Awesome video! It would have been awesome if they somehow managed to put a GoPro in the cabin and managed to get a POV of sorts. RIP Space Spiral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harper83087 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Cool vids!! I can't help but picture a very cartoony explaination for the explosives though. I just see a team of execs sitting around a table stumped and completely exhausted while trying to find the cheapest way possible. Big boss man - "Alright, we need to figure out the cheapest possible solution here. Any ideas?" Exec #1 - "A crew with a crane and cutters?" Big boss man - "No, DT took too long to tear down. I want this quick and painless." Exec #2 - "...what about dynamite?" Big boss man - "My God!!! You are a genius!!!" Alright enough clowning...BRING ON THE GATEKEEPER!!!!

CorkscrewFoley Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm sad to see Space Spiral go, just as much as Disaster Transport, but that tower was in fact iconic...oh well, bring in the Gatekeeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The demolition needed more explosions. Someone should have called Michael Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
