Boneville House "on fire" No More?

Actually, you're wrong. The train is one of 2 rides you are allowed to take photographs on at Cedar Point. How do you think Walt, myself, Doug and a few others have been able to take pictures of the construction site?

That scene was designed by the same Intamin engineers who thought it was a good idea to have a freely rotating dragster tire mock-up on TTD.

Finally! Somebody else who sees the complete idiocy of that...

I was in the park on Wed. the 26th and the fire was on in the morning and not in the afternoon. It was also kinda windy that day, could that be to blame?? I know wind was a factor at the park cause TDD was down all day :(

Intamin has engineers at CP's Planning and Design department? :)

I think you're right there. The theming was on CP's part.

I stand corrected. I thought Space Spiral was the only ride you could take pictures from.

My apologies, TOPGUN...

Its hit or miss

Sometimes its on, sometimes its off. Its been that way since I can remember. There is probaly a pilot light that keeps blowing out or something like that.

I was gonna say... They didnt seem to have a problem with me bringing my rather large Digital Camera on board to take my Project 07 Pics :)

I thought you could take pictures on Paddlewheel also?

That's correct. Picture taking it permitted on the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad, the Space Spiral, and Paddlewheel Excursions, even though it was the ride that started the "no picture taking what so ever" rule...

Why is that? Enlighten Me!

You can take pics on every ride its just not a good idea. ;)

Why is what? Why can you only take pictures on those rides, or why is it that Paddlewheel Excursions was the ride that started that rule?

I'd imagine he's wanting to know why PWE started that rule.

My guess is they had people lose cameras overboard and they tried to get CP to pay for them.

Actually it was because a man was trying to take a picture of Top Thrill Dragster and was leaning out of the boat... a bit too far, and he fell out of the boat, and into the lagoon.

I'm sorry, but that would've been a little funny to see. But of course, he could have drown. :)

That would have been funny to see! How deep is the lagoon?

I honestly didn't read the whole topic.

But I was there yesterday, and it wasn't working. However, I have been there over 12 times this year, and it's sometimes on and sometimes off.

I couldn't tell you why.

I hear they are replacing it with a new firewater effect ;)

Actually, I saw it's fire last week. So it is still there.

At least the human race would have been stronger for it. Unfortunately, its these people who always seem to reproduce sooner and faster than the rest.
