Cedar Point (CP) Discussion Thread

To connect the other half....?

That's right, stupid from me, this thing is getting bigger than it already is.

[Koasterking48]

Cedar Point will hopefully put some signage up on the roof or something of the front gate I would assume

[aLFREd_25]

I also did not expect it to be that tall. Even only half finished, it looks awesome. That's going to be a great photo-op standing at the front gates.

I wonder if they will have a big net to catch loose objects over the enterance.

Guys talking about the other half it's already standing up it's feet:

Looking good.

(I'm following this live, So expect some Updates along the way )

 

*Edit 3:21: Other half goes up in the sky!

*Edit 3:25: Keyhole high enough to place!

*Edit 3:26: Keyhole in place only needs to secure the element! Went fast.

They are really speeding along! Looks great!

I'm pretty sure a net won't be necessary since there will be a nice solid roof under the whole element that guests will be under. A net would seem redundant.

[RCT3Bross]

Already on his place that's a nice looking element :

It's less quality of the other because this is a screenshot.

Other side's going in

^ Not to ruin your party or anything, but look at your webcam time and mine last. It's already placed and they're securing it at the moment.

Even better!

[RCT3Bross]

For those who prefer the front view:

Looks even better from this side.

Just an FYI, seeing more and more CP is making me more and more excited.

I'll be heading to CP most mondays of the season with a plat pass. If anyone is looking to tag along, let me know and we can work something out for going. I typically do full days there, open to close, or midday to close.

[Koasterking48]

Well looks like I won't be there May 12th... Oh well I think I can work around the Coastermania weekend now

[zachclarke2]

Thanks to GateKeeper, the thrills will definitely start at the gate this summer!

It looks great! I like the futuristic look to it.

[Koasterking48]

Me gusta mucho!!! Can't wait for the second to go up, and then the track!

[_IntaMAN_]

I can't wait to see how they will put the track through the keyhole! Certainly will be interesting to watch I'm so glad CP is on my list of out-of-state parks that I will visit this year. This beast just looks phenomenal.

^My guess is that they'll get all of the necessary ropes/attachments onto the track piece like normal, then they will "slide" it through the gap you see between the two pieces of the keyhole.

I love the way this is all turning out!

[Coaster Curt]

The facebook comments are really bringing out the smart ones.

[christianscoasters]

^I'm dying at those. Absolutely hilarious. I think what everyone fails to remember is that this picture doesn't say if the keyhole is completely constructed or not. For all we know, they could just be lining it up to put it into place. The picture is taken from kind of an awkward angle to answer that question.

[Ohiocoasterman]

In case anyone missed it today here is a short time lapse video!

^^^Some of the comments on that pic are gold. Is there anything funnier than an argument between people who are both clueless and opinionated?
