2012 Improvements, Additions, and Changes. Leaks and Announcements

Has there been any word on the removal of the control towers on the Iron Dragon midway? (Yes - I am too lazy to scroll through 17 pages to find out myself.) Looking at the webcam they now really stand out as an eyesore.

Yeah, I'd like to see those gone soon as well.

I mean, since all our Cedar Point wishes are coming true and all...

If you look on the Dragster Webcam, you can see the Dragster cars on the track!

Hopefully that means the tower will be certified before 10 on May 12th.

But so far this season seems like some of the most creative ideas out of Cedar Point so far.

A caption to a photo on the recent Sandusky Register article mentioned that one of the projectors was being moved for the show. Whether this means one of the booths or just the projector remains to be seen.

Looking at the webcams now they have a man lift and a bunch of trucks around the booth, so they might be starting removel right now... heres hopeing. Just as long as they find a new perch for the Overloard at Halloweekends!

Just an update- The catwalk between the two control booths is dismantled so looks like it is offically comeing down!

Ahh can't wait to see those gone. I can't believe that Millenium Force view of the hill and last overbank has been covered for so long...it's iconic, and it seems MF was contructed perfectly centered for that midway view.

Millenium's paint is looking so great, but poor TTD. Hopefully that gets some love for its 10th birthday.

Fastlane details have been released:

I think we'll see Wicked Twister painted before Dragster.

Anyone else notice the misspelling of Millennium Force on the fast lane page?

::like:: :)

The first of the control towers is coming down. Looks like they're taking them down in solid pieces. Wonder if they are planning to use them somehow for Luminosity?

Just saw that and came here to post about it but you beat me to it. Can't wait to see that midway completely opened up

They are will be using them for Luminosity.

How is it iconic? The screen was there before Millennium Force. We've never seen this view before.

He probably meant that it was built to be an iconic scene but was always blocked. I agree that it will be a great view now

Looking at the Main Midway Cam, soon, we'll have an unobstructed view of Millennium Force!

It looks like they put the control booth back on, but cut the beams shorter, its only 3 feet off the ground in the same location.. weird.

That is an amazing view of Millennium force with the screen removed. I'm excited to see how it will look from there with the improved lighting package.
