Erection of Skyhawk

the support is going up quick.

Very quick, and the other one should be going up soon.

The second side is going up now!

Set the image (http://www.cedarpoint.com/_cpcam/cam3_0000000001.jpg) as an active item on your desktop. You can then refresh it by doing a "right-click" and refresh or just hitting F5 while on your desktop.

Thanks, I never knew you could do that, it makes it so much easier!

Interesting.... how they use two cranes to get it vertical, then one to place it.

I did that active desktop last year for maxair... Everyone in the office stops by my cubical ever once in a while to see how Skyhawk is coming along.

it's amazing how quickly it's going up. anyone wanna take a guess on when it'll be finished

^ Today.

The axile is going up now!

Has Cedar Point ever opened a ride super early like at Valley Fair. They gave first rides on their swing already, and the weather can't be much better there.

If CP opened say one ride for a weekend and opened a gift shop and somewhere to get warm, would anyone show up? You can even have a hiring event!

i'm pretty sure people would show up no doubt

It's getting too dark to see the axle getting put up! Oh well, just follow the light.

::Edit:: I think they're done for the day. The crane lines have been disconnected and everybody's gone.

Does anybody have a final picture before it got too dark to see? The last time I checked it was too dark to see anything.

I'll post a time lapse later on.

Boo Walt. Beat me to it. :P

Unfair advantage. I'm still at the office.

Dear God, go home Ben! It's dark outside.
