A look back...

Trust me, there is much more noise even on most coaster web sites than here.

I totally agree Walt. This is honestly the best message board/information site that I have found on the internet. At least as far as info for Cedar Point goes, and I honestly don't pay much attention to any other park. Not even my home park which is also a Cedar Fair property.

I like when the red track was spotted near Millie. ;)

Off topic, but will there be a construciton journal with Monty Jasper on the Cedar Point web site? I know that they have done this in the past, but this time construciton started so early. I didn't want to start a new topic since there are so many already.

When I talked with Monty back in August during my trip, I asked him that question. His response was that once an announcement is made there will be a construction diary.

But will it be the traditional construction diary that we had for MF, WT and TTD? Or will it just be frequent blog entries about the construction?

^ My assumption is that it will be treated similar to the MF, WT, and TTD style entries from how he was explaining it.

Then there were the people who, no matter what was thrown at them, (logic, common sense, etc) they just couldn't understand how the ride was not going to be leaving the current site and twisting over and under the other 68 rides.

Also, someone had to bring up the incredibly stupid theory of the ride going out, yes, over the bay/lake erie. Amazing how, with every new ride, that always gets mentioned.

It gets mentioned because there's no room left. They HAVE to build over the lake to make a decent coaster.

And here's a pan to catch all the sarcasm as it drips off. Don't want to get it all over the floor.

Good.
Thanks for the info, guys.

Oh, my favorite things are those funnel cakes @ Cedar Point & the Dippin Dots.

Not to be rude, but what do funnel cakes and dippin dots have to do with anything?

Nothing.

Someone said it would be the biggest DD stand in the world (setting a record)

I just remembered my favorite thing posted, I heard from a guy who knows a guy who worked there that it will be blah blah blah.......

It's a looper.

The sarcasm continues...

so how many threads did we have that went a little something like this:

"OMG LOOK, a piece of track is going up RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE WEBCAM!!!11"

Not funny because it hasn't even been a problem.

I found this quote from Mr.PKI over on the Coasterbuzz web site. I thought it was funny in retrospect.

Hmmm, I see no reason to believe that CP would be getting another Intamin. With TTD, MF, and WT what else is there for the park to get from the company? It also doesn't seem that they would get track delivery this early in the year either.

^^ True that we haven't had the webcam update threads, but there certainly hasn't be a letdown in "Already Being Discussed Elsewhere" thread creation.

Hey guys, I just dug up this old post from the Point Buzz archives. Take a look:

Me thinketh this new contraption for 1907 shall be an acute example of this newfangled "Leap-The-Dips" design. Note thou the running track, perfectly arranged to accomodate Mr. Edison's Model T horseless carriages. Psycheth am I!

FerrisWheel1896, you are a deranged bastard. I would offer you choice of pistols if I knew not thou would hideth behind thy mother's corset. As can plainly be seen, Project Ought-Seven can not be of the Leap-the-Dips variety, as the angles of descent are too pronounced and at more than twelve feet tall are far too vertiginous for any carriage, horseless or not. No, as I have repeateth these many instances, it will be soon revealed as the tallest "Shoot-the-Chutes" in the history of any garden or resort. I cannot abide the delay until the announcement!

People always say Trekkies have too much time on their hands.....

That was pretty funny.

OK, that was funny.
