Now look at the Xcelerator construction found at Westcoaster.net. The "Top Hat" appeared to be a much larger cement slab or footer with multiple supports on it... however, the footers for most of the rest of the track columns are similar to the picture above of Area 51. Some are round, some are square. Here is a link to a picture of one of the supports on the top hat with the bolts through the track columns.

Not necessarily a rocket coaster, but it appears to be some sort of track support for a tall column support, rather than a foundation or footer you might see for a flat ride or building.
Whatever it may be, I plan on being excited to hear the news first from Cedar Point. All the speculation and ideas are just fun to keep us all busy while we wait for the final word from Cedar Point!
