if you guys look at the lower part of the arm (on the updated construction photos on the CP site) you can see the "X" logo on it...it looks pretty cool

The X logo is NICE! Hopefully the wheel will go up and some testing will begin...May 7th... (unless you're cool)


At the turn of the Millennium, there were signs. Was the something out there?... A mysterious force at work? Beyond words. Beyond comprehension. Beyond, beyond beyond… A natural force simply known as, Millennium Force. The future is riding on it.…

The drive motor for the rotation is presumably on the arm, so it's not any more complicated than running cables/hoses down the center. I don't know how the contact is made to power the seats. If they want to monitor the position of the seats at all time (and I think they do on the giant topspin), then there's some kind of electrical bus on the hub always making contact to the wheel.

Thanks, Pete. Did they remove the big people side then?

Yes, the big people side is the one that is gone.

A little off topic, but CP has added maXair to their park map. :)

Yup, I'm off today and Friday we have off for teacher inservices. They get two a year off to learn how to teach us. You should hear some of the nice comments my teachers make about it. WHAT THE F***, I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN TO TEACH A BUNCH OF D*** B****** WHEN THEY REALLY SHOULD BE IN MILITARY SCHOOL

Teacher inservices make sense, but some of the holidays that are given off just make no sense. The one that really gets me is MLK. Wouldn't it make much more sense to keep the kids in school and teach them about Dr. King? Instead they get to sleep in and do nothing and learn nothing about him.
