Once you drop, the fun don't stop!

You have just provided "evidence" for the next wild 'n' crazy CP rumor. ^_^

"OMG! The Space Spiral is leaning!!" Must be the weight of that new air conditioning system everyone keeps hypothesizing about... ^_^

Yeah, Space Spiral goes about 30 feet into the ground I think, and it is standing perfectly straight up (well at least it was in the 1960's, whose to say the earth hasn't shifted a little) It is just the camera lens, although it is a little decieving.

Hello, and welcome aboard the Space Spiral, Cedar Point's tallest ride. You are about to take a journey 285 feet up the spiral. The tower itself is 330 feet tall and is securley anchored with a foundation going 30 feet below ground level.

I knew dating her would pay off on this site someday.. ;)

Ok, If the cp website has something in 3 weeks saying "The space spiral IS NOT falling over" I think i'm gonna laugh my butt off.

Fear the Mullet!

VF's Power Towers all lean, too...and they're only two years old.

Here's proof.

(who'll actually code the site the week after VF adds another ride)

wow coastaplaya! How did you get that snapshot? It totally looks like that boat is going upside down. Is that Ocean Motion?

At the turn of the Millenium......there were signs...

It's thier version at Valley Fair.. The one there does go upside down..

Yup....the Looping Starship does indeed loop. (Hmm)

That shot was taken from the queue (stairs) of the Hurricane Falls Family slide. I was leaning to get the boat in the shot just a bit too enthusiastically. God only knows when I can convince another lifeguard crew to let me back up with a camera.

But we'll gladly trade you the starship for the Wildcat (sniff). See that dopey Arrow Mad mouse? We used to have CP's old wild mouse there and the Bayern Kurve was just to the left of that. Life's just not fair.
