It's crazy how much work they've done in the last 2 days. Hats off the the construction crew!

[DoinItForTheFame]

Does anybody know what's happening with the bottom of the turn? There are no supports and I haven't seen any mention whatsoever

 

 

Moving on.

 

Could they be planning on adding this piece of track today also? That would be a lot of progress in a day.

 

I think they are done for the day.

 

They still made a LOT of progress for one day!!

It also appears they're giving Raptor its own themed area. I don't like the shade of green they chose but I'm sure it will look better in real life

^^Looking at the picture does anyone know what the box made out of wood is for. Its right under the Zero-g roll.

I'm just guessing but, it may possibly be a box or temporary shack to store small parts that are needed to construct Valravn.

[coasterkyle]

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

[DoinItForTheFame]

I think the box has to do with construction. Not breakers. But that's just my opinion.

That box / room has been there since the beginning of construction. Had a door on the side, likely a storage room for something during construction. Will likely be removed once lifting is complete.

Electrical breakers, not Hotel Breakers.

Obviously.

[thrillrider]

That box is where they keep the keys for the boat.

[Brassinthegrass]

^ There it is...

 

This ride looks great!

[ImNotOneOfYou]

Does anyone know how/if the box is connected? There weren't any footers where it is.

[FaithPlus1]

^The box is directly connected to the boat.

[DorneyKid14]

Yes. They are putting a mini dock in so people can park their boat, take a nap while riding Valravn, and then go back on the boat. Because the boat is the real trill.

Didn't get around to posting yesterday's update.

 

Yesterday's High Resolution Update

Daily Constructon Progress Updates in High Resolution

Construction Progress as of February 27, 2016

[ytterbiumanalyst]

That's some amazing progress. They could have the track complete by the end of this week!

[DoinItForTheFame]

I believe that Tony said at Winter Chill Out that track would be complete within the next two weeks, which the end of this week will be two weeks, and they are flying through the construction, so I think it is safe to say that the track will be done by the end of this week!

I was bored and decided to figure out a break-down of Cedar Point's 17 (well, soon to be 17) roller coasters and their manufacturers and this is what I came up with.

 

Arrow: 5 (Magnum XL 200, Corkscrew, Iron Dragon, Cedar Creek Mine Ride, and Gemini)

 

Intamin: 5 (Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Maverick, Wicked Twister, and Wilderness Run)

 

B&M: 4 (Rougarou, Raptor, GateKeeper, Valravn)

 

Vekoma: 1 (Woodstock Express)

 

PTC: 1 (Blue Streak)

 

Dinn: 1 (Mean Streak)

 

The thing that's crazy is some parks are lucky to have five roller coasters. Cedar point has five each from two different manufacturers. If they get another B&M after Valravn, they'll have five from three. I just find that staggering.

^ Awesome angles! Thank you for sharing those!

I love doing things like that as well!
