Can anyone please tell me how they put the cars on Power Tower? Also, can you tell me where to find pictures of a bunch of Cedar Point Rides or Coaster cars while in storage? Thanks

The Power Tower cars never leave the tower. They are elevated, stripped of the fabric backs, and the seats are covered with plastic.

May the Force be with you

There are some nice off-season pics of the coasters/smaller rides in this gallery. Spooky stuff!

The nylon screws appear to be tightened down on the corners to keep it in place and presumably remove tension from the cables. Just guessing on that part.

If you look carefully, you can see them just below the wheels in this photo:
