See for yourself on the webcam.

[TexTitan01]

awesome, but that track is sure moving slow to its happy home...

[Astat]

is that the old station of WWL that is lying in bits and pieces there?

 

That's some of the concrete foundation and one of the old ride footers that were around the station area, but the station itself is still there.

The first peice of track is now completed on the web cam!

 

And the second peice is getting put up already!

[CD]

They just took the second one down. WTF, that is weird!

[CommanderLock]

They've put up one of the pieces laying in the site already? Wow. I just got back from my trip, and there were only three rouge pieces just sitting there. So are those used up or did they take it from the massses of track outside the Breakers Express?

[BlueStreak64]

They're pieces from the BE area.

 

Darn, and I won't be up to the Point for more pictures until Labor Day, and that is dependant on the price of gas. Now my last update (which still isn't up anyway) is pretty much obsolete, except for two pictures.

Wow, these Aqua Trax coasters sure get built quick and this Aqua Trax is coming along quickly as well. This Aqua Trax coaster will most certainly be ready for opening day next season. This Aqua Trax looks like a very cool Aqua Trax so far.

Why? Do Aqua Trax make people suck their thumbs?

For those who are interested in this track installment there is a video here:

Now that I see a good image of the track and supports connected, I have to say that I really like the color combination!

[Masked_Maverick]

I am anxiously waiting to see then layout of this thing. Hopefully it'll be as good as I am hoping it is.

[Cheesey]

It is supposedly going to be announced tommorow at some sort of press conference...I highly doubt that.

 

Then again, they just have started putting in track pieces. Maybe they will announce this thing tomorrow...

 

Who knows...

[Reality15]

It is supposedly going to be announced tommorow at some sort of press conference...I highly doubt that.

Sure, if you live somewhere where the sun doesn't set for a few months and tomorrow is actually in January.

[dwerling]

Cheesey..just wondering where you heard about the press confernece from? Was it the Lemon Chill guy again? Darn you lemon Chill guy. Darn you

[HOYS]

I actually belive that it was released by Funcoast in their latest update about it saying "We will know in two days!" (pointing to tommorow)

 

This was later edited out...I'de say that its pretty credible. Pointbuzz and Funcoast must be working with Cedar Point because Funcoast knew when the first track was going up and when they put new track up today....unless they sit there all day.

[dwerling]

I don't buy it. The press would certainly know by now and it would have been leaked.

-Dan "The announcement will not happen tommorow" Werling

[coasterlover420]

If this thing was announced tomorrow, then tomorrow would be the best day of this month. I can only hope...

[Real]

I'd much rather them be putting in an Intamin woodie versus what they're getting!

 

--Robb

 

That was exactly what I was hoping. You couldnt put in my fave (TGG) because of size and most importantly - maintenance but I figured an Intamin wood would be perfect for CP. Super low maintenance, controlled experience and suitable for a large age range. Plus it can push the envelope more than a traditional wood and still be controllable and rideable for all ages. Plus it will age well.

 

 

Heck, if someone supplies the gas/propane Ill supply an inconspicuous flame if you soak Mean Streak with the propane first

[coasterfreak11]

Isn't Wednesday a random day to announce this coaster? I figured they would announce it on a weekend, and I'm not expecting the announcement this soon. Time will only tell!

I love it when people claim they know what's being installed, and they totally show off, thinking they're tricking people. Dude, you're not fooling us. Maybe it's not an Aquatrax, but you don't know what it is.

[Calvin]

Wow, the CP webpage's header keeps getting more and more complex...

 

And I really really can't wait to see what this coaster will be like.

[TheArchfiend]

^^

But it is an Aquatrax. No guessing about it.
