^ That was actually pretty clever.

[TyRush]

I just watched that whole thing and I am impressed.

[DorneyKid14]

That was great!!! Must be really bored on the off season

[Geartooth90]

Just watched that video, I thought it was great!

Tony always seems to be having a great time at anything that he does. What an awesome guy!

Also I love how much Cedar Point is willing to do for there community by putting out videos, updates, and live streaming webcams.

I just don't know of many parks do as much as they do, even though they don't really need to.

That video was so much fun, thank you for sharing that!

I guess it's never too early to start teasing for the 2017 Announcement..

It looks as if the cranes are waking up this morning.

If I was Tony, I would be spray painting random dots all over the property to watch coaster enthusiasts go ape sh*t.

They were indeed. They even have part of the support for the turn put in place.

Go a step further and mark out centerline measurements to a "blank" area of the park.

[DoinItForTheFame]

The tallest support for the ride is now in place. I'm hoping to see some more track go in today!!

[CP Maverick]

They moved the turn earlier. It appears as though they may attempt to lift both simultaneously* today.

 

 

*By that, I mean use both cranes until everything is in place.

[coasterfreak11]

I think today (or tomorrow for sure), Valravn will be topped off! I imagine they will place the turn section up next and then fitting in the top of the lift hill after, hopefully this afternoon!

[DoinItForTheFame]

^ I was thinking that they would lift the last part of the lift and crest into place, bolt it together, and keep supporting it using the big red crane, and then lift the turn into place using one of the other cranes and bolt all that together... but we shall see!!

I'm pretty sure that's what I said, but with a different number of words.

[coasterfreak11]

^ Could very well be the case. Time shall tell. Regardless exciting stuff happening. Would be great to have it topped off before the holidays!

I'll just leave that here.

[coasterfreak11]

Nice, all makes sense too. Looking forward to this happening!

[CP Maverick]

Lifting the top of the lift at the moment.

[DorneyKid14]

CP snapchat is a little clever

[DoinItForTheFame]

[DorneyKid14]

double post but....

 

 

VALRAVN IS BEING TOPPED OFF RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[DoinItForTheFame]

It looks so good. I can't wait for our trip this summer!

[Brassinthegrass]

hopefully this will pull more people over to Blue Streak next year, it was amazing how baron that area of the park, even with seeing the huge numbers pass on the main midway!

 

Looks good, can't wait to see this thing added to the skyline!
