bluestreak Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 It's crazy how much work they've done in the last 2 days. Hats off the the construction crew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SbSteveZ Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummermattk Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 ^^Looking at the picture does anyone know what the box made out of wood is for. Its right under the Zero-g roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnlloyd Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 ^^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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkyle Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 That had breakers in it for when Dodgem was there... I assume the refreshment stand still uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) I think the box has to do with construction. Not breakers. But that's just my opinion. Edited February 28, 2016 by DoinItForTheFame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterLine Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrillMom Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I think the box has to do with construction. Not breakers. But that's just my opinion. Electrical breakers, not Hotel Breakers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImNotOneOfYou Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Does anyone know how/if the box is connected? There weren't any footers where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithPlus1 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 ^The box is directly connected to the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 That's some amazing progress. They could have the track complete by the end of this week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 That's some amazing progress. They could have the track complete by the end of this week! 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!

StarWars Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 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.
