Area 51 is... Cedar Point???

Ok, well... not really. But after several days of trying to get on to Terraserver.com to check out those pictures of Area 51 that was all over the news, I looked up this location

http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=12&T=1&X=449&Y=5742&Z=17&W=2

Yes, you to can spy on our favorite park!! Click anywhere on this pic, and zoom in on the details. Want to really know whats in the Bone Yard? Just click!!

Could this be where CP's next coaster will go?http://terraserver.microsoft.com/image.asp?S=10&T=1&X=1799&Y=22966&Z=17&W=2
Far right, middle of the page, right down from DT, theres a large peice of land right after the entrance.

Isn't that parking? Now, CP has a HUGE parking lot and they COULD afford to use a bit of it, but there's probably no need to do so quite yet...

Any one notice how much land the Mine Ride takes up? That just looks like sooo much!

I never noticed how far out Magnum goes, And there is that nice big space in between Gemini and MS, that would be a nice spot for a coaster.

That's the bone yard.

No, the boneyard is behind MS on the shore of the lake.

Thats cool!! But look at the date. For most of the pics its 1997. But for others its 1995. Not the bad but a more current picture would be nice.

That is cool thanks for the link! I have done that same type imagaing down to my neighborhood! The only thing is I wish that was more recent pics, those are taken in 1997! Hope they update that soon, would like to see the overview of MF!

The more you ride it, the more you want it!

~~~Darla~~~

It's up now? A few months ago I went to terraserver and tried to get the CP pictures but that area of the globe wasn't up then!

Oh yea...by the way, Seven-of-9....I like the name of this thread "Area 51 is... Cedar Point???". The first time I saw it, I was like....WTF?? lol.

I'm guessing that these survey photos were shot in 1997. As you can see, Mantis is there, but Power Tower, Camp Snoopy, and MF is not.

If you go to the main terraserver page, and enter in a location, It'll give you all the listings, with a date the photos were taken.

Still, it's a cool vantage point! You can download it for free to disk (they only charge on downloading the photos of the "real" Area 51. I'm going to have my one photographer friend make a nice print of it (i.e., zoom it in perfectly, and enhance the lighting) When I get it done, I'll let you know by posting it on my website.

Half of it is from '97 and the other half is from '95. You can see Mantis but no Raptor. How bizarre would that be?

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?" (as stated by my best-friends about CP)

Oops... I see Raptor now... it blended in to the ground. The dates are still different but Raptor is there.

"Your obssesed w/ that place aren't you?" (as stated by my best-friends about CP)

I was just going to say, I can see Raptor. I used to go to Terra Server all of the time, but it always had incomplete data. At least they have what counts!

Even with the new rides, these overhead photos say what I've been saying for ages: CEDAR POINT DOES NOT HAVE A SPACE PROBLEM!

Jeff, I couldn't have said it better myself... I was going to say something, but I didn't want to bring "that" subject up again...
