I don't know what ride you guys have been riding the last 10 years, but that drawing is 100% accurate.

[xChris125x]

Dragster eats up enough wheels already. The last thing Dragster's wheels need is more running time.

I don't think Cedar Point has officially released it on their website yet, but here is the new park map for 2013 from some other people:

^ Looks great! I love the way the Cedar Fair maps look. They're so......exaggerated. Like the extra spins on TTD's drop and Maverick's super long train. Makes the ride look more insane (as insane as Maverick can get).

[Randomman295]

^^Kind of weird how the map looks so devoid without the ride names printed on there. I love the way Gatekeeper looks on there, but the DA logo is kind of obnoxious.

[CpBluestreakCp]

It's probably so obnoxious in order to get more people to see it and go spend the $$$ there.

[JonnyRCT3]

Aww, no more kitty.

[1pizza14]

Any idea what the massive numbers on the map are for?

[CpBluestreakCp]

^Well, it came from some sort of brochure. So, it must be labeling something whether it be food, merchandise, or anything else..I'm unsure.

[Reality15]

It's something to do with groups, probably the performance groups (the yellow circle on the main midway is the typical performance parade path).

There's a link to the 2013 Choir Map, which has a close-up of the main entrance and GateKeeper.

[TyRush]

That layout is so doable........just need to figure out how to float the track above the park, easy.

If only building supports in real life was like building them in nolimits!

[JRHcoasterki]

Mid-course brake run has gone up!

[Randomman295]

^I'd call that a good 200th post.

Is the MCBR inside the corkscrew? Another view would be awesome.

[JRHcoasterki]

^Yes, the MCBR is inside the corkscrew! Just checked the POV!

A quote from the park president John Hildebrant "Just walked out of GateKeeper meeting . . . we should make the final track connection next week." That's a quote from his twitter account. All I can say is WOW!

[cmullin]

Is it just me or does it feel like everyday a whole new section has been completed?

[Voxelmatic]

Wow, they're really hauling on construction! SFMM, get the memo...

[traincrossin]

Memo got lost by the carrier pigeon.

[Randomman295]

^Post of the day.

[Brassinthegrass]

It was only 5:05 when he said that... give the day a chance! We are quite funny here

[FaithPlus1]

Imagine if they actually built a real coaster these days. How long would that take?

Maybe thats why they build little cheapies(for MM) lately.

[ValleyfairFan]

Say what you will about the ride seeming somewhat gimmicky, but I don't think Full Throttle will be on the cheap side of things.

[ThePasswordIsPie]

I checked the webcams on CP's website, and one of them is covered with snow
