Houston... Do we have liftoff?!?

The time is now 3:40pm est timeon the 13th of June. The ride has been testing for just over an hour now. Ride Op's are on the platform. A crowd has gathered. Do we have clearance to reach for the sky?

I will be driving there 6 1/2 hours to visit the park on Sunday/Monday and my smile just got a little bigger. Here's to hoping that CP can maintain that track record of just being awesome. This will be only my second visit to the park as I was only infected with the CP bug last year. It is now a major part of my getaway from the drudge of day-to-day life. My home park is Paramount Canada's Wonderland. It Blows. No new coasters for adults in more years than I can count. The drive there is the needle and CP is my drug.

Looks like you're in luck. I was supposed to go tomorrow, but my future employer pulled one over on me and scheduled a job interview.

Damn Them!!!

I've been watching the web cams myself and am glad someone else has confirmed testing activity.

Ooh I hope so becasue my cousin and her boyfriend are up there. That would be sweet if they got to ride.

Are you guys sure that it is testing? Look at the transfer tracks on the PT camera. It looks as if they just put a few trains on them.

Who knows for sure, it looks like alot of the people are walking away from the area now. Hopefully it didn't break in testing..

If they are testing right now, hopefully they are moving the cleveland.com cam again to focus on it, because the cam is out right now.

I wonder if they're putting the trains on the transfer track and then at night they'll test it and try to open it Saturday. Also the webcam works now.
