First piece has arrived!

Anybody happen to see the photo Cedar Point posted on the Facebook page today? Looks like the first big blue column-y piece has come in. Does this get you guys any more hyped up?
My thoughts on the ride are sort of mixed, but it's always pretty cool to see it all starting to come together : )

Yes it is exciting! I bet though they've been hiding these pieces so us enthusiasts wouldn't get too excited. Hopefully they can install this first part of the 301 foot tower either tomorrow or Friday.

Theres still a few more things that need to be done before they start erecting the sections. Im betting next week will bring about the start of vertical construction. Which means the tower wont actually be that far along for our Pointbuzz park tour.

Lucky the pieces have at least started coming before the event, though! Should be pretty cool to check it out up-close, even if it's just the beginning. If only I didn't live nine-ish hours away...

Would be a little more exciting if I hadn't been following Kings Island's already; same story... oh well, at least it's a different location.

I keep on forgetting to check Kings Island's construction updates. Or else I might not be as excited either but just watching it being built at Cedar Point (my home park) is just exciting enough for me.

It's like we're watching HBO West.

Yeah, the Kings Island site is a big time spoiler alert for the CP webcam. I keep cheating, going over there, to see what we're going to have. We are a couple weeks behind it seems, which makes sense since our open date is 2 weeks after KI.

Cp just posted a picture on facebook showing off 5 new pieces that have arrived.

Here's to hoping that at least 2 of those pieces are gone by saturday.:D
