What? Meetings & gatherings forum? It's not that serious. I just wanted to know if anyone would be there that day. I'm going with other people.

Okay, Jason....I might have a T-shirt by then. I should be a bit easy to spot!

I think the hill is growing today.. take a look at the webcam. Is it me or it getting steeper and taller? When are they doing all of this work. I never see them working. *** Edited 8/22/2006 1:03:17 PM UTC by MIA-Mike***

Mia....They are working on the bottom of the hill, possibly the next hill. That hill was capped off and is in place as of yesterday.

I see that they added another piece at the bottom, right in front of the webcam, but that's all that's changed since yesterday. I don't think this hill will be growing since it was already capped off. It looks like they'll be working behind the webcam today, so we won't see much change for a while.

I hope they reposition the web cam so we can get a better view of what's going on. I think the supports in the area of the bunny hill are the most interesting yet. The track will cross itself many times I think.

Has anyone counted the number of track pieces on the ground and at the location near breakers express? I was just curious about the length of the coaster.

It has been counted and recorded somewhere in this mess. An approximation, of course.

If you can find it, you have more patience than me.

I'm not going to dig for it (I'll leave that to you ;)) but I believe the total estimated track length was really short (only 1-2,000 feet). Delivery is not done, and more track will be brought in as construction progresses, so knowing how much is there won't tell you much.

Actually, I thought the length was estimated in the 3,XXX range, based on 30-odd foot lengths of track and the approximate number of pieces delivered so far.

Ok, so I was a little short, but either way, the estimated length of delivered track is far short of the guesstimated length of the ride.

Hmm... Well maybe this thing is only going to be 400' tall.

I would expect it to be relatively short (3K), but a good people mover. Cedar Point has always been excellent at keeping queue times relatively short.

*edit* by short I meant relatively short compared to MF, not short in general.

More track has shown up since that length was calculated. So, its longer already. :)

Hey, Main Midway cam is down, do you think that they could be moving it to the P2007 area?
