What's life without rollercoasters!!!

That is a beautiful shot of the park. It feels wierd looking down on PT. It feels like the shot is taken from a helicopter. I'm printing this one out!

If there's bugs on your shirt, you had a good ride.

Okay, PowerTower looks small now. Didn't think that was possible! EVERYTHING looks small! Too bad you couldn't linger at the top for 30 seconds or so. :)

Strange... They call it "A view of Power Tower from TTD" but I really dont think that was taken from the top of Dragster. If you look down at the launch and brake track, they head off to the left of the photo. More likely it's from a crane at the height of TTD...

I dont think it was taken from the ride either.

The only thing worse than people who make grammar mistakes are the people who have to point it out every ****ing time.

Great pic but still waiting for one on top of TTD looking at MF

Oh...My...

Did anyone notice that they referred to the ride as "TTD"? That kinda surprised me.

Hopefully no one will start calling it STD (that has no reference to TTD and Power Tower looking like giant male reproductive organs).

Now that was just dumb.

wow it now looks like it is 420FT tall!

This picture is amazing as well. It really puts into perspective how tall this thing really is. Just a couple things I noticed that are quite interesting. One, by looking at the Mantis from this picture it really looks like the paint job was either done or semi-done because those supports for the lift hill look really good. Maybe it's just because of the distance. I'm not really sure, but it looks brand new. The wildcat looks awesome and when you look from this picture down at Iron Dragon, it really doesn't make it feel like much of a mystery anymore. When you ride Iron Dragon you get the feeling of being off in the woods by yourself, weaving around trees with nothing around you. From up this high, you see almost the entire outline of Iron Dragon and it doesn't really appear to be much of anything. Not as many turns as I remember the ride having, but I guess the trees are what make the ride, or what's left of them. That's alright though because I'll still ride Iron Dragon. It's a classic. Anyways, this ride looks just as good as the height and I can't wait to ride it. Keep providing the photos for us CP, they're truly amazing.

Thats funny Raptor Rider..i was thinking the same thing about ID kind of losing its "mystique."

Has anyone ever ridden its "sister" ride at PKI..Top Gun I think....If they modified it a little and gave it a few steeper hills and turns that ride could really re-gain some popularity. Nahh..what am i thinking..i love that it never has much of a line...

From Tampa Bay to Sandusky Bay, Mm'k?

Has anybody noticed that they added more pictures that were taken yesterday? Pretty much maintenance and stuff.

You can see 8 different roller coasters in that one photo. What is the most that can be put into a single (standard-size) photo, and what is that vantage point?

CP fan since 68.

the midway between TTD station and the Power Station Giftshop looks awfully narrow! I hope it won't be as congested as it looks like it's going to be.
