The crane is probably there for track maintenance/inspection for Raptor. I do appreciate that they torque the bolts before we ride.

Oh fudge! I was getting my hopes up that it was for a repaint. But safety inspections are great as well.

Now I'm imagining people hanging upside down by their feet for the duration of the ride on the Raptor...
Raptor could never be a stand-up due to the heartline! No one wants their hearts to explode on a ride!
Are they patching up concrete on the midways on cam 1?

Looks like it. Pretty amazing what goes on there in the off season.

Here I thought those were really big footers for the new "multi-midway" 500' inverted drop coaster. Footers as well as the entrance to the tunnels under the midway to accommodate the first drop. No?

Always love seeing the park at night, all lit up during the off season
Cedar Point + Kings Island = Heaven
The Breakers cam was just going all over the place. First it looked toward Rougarou, after that it was pointed at Marblehead, then it looked at the Breakers lot and looked at Magnum for a few seconds before reverting back to the Breakers view.
While it was on Magnum, I saw a worker on the tracks, so it might be testing today.

It was probably moved to Magnum for a minute for Tony to get this

It looks like a wire fence to me. What are those things scattered all over the midway on camera #1

^They were replacing some of the concrete on the midway earlier. My guess is they are cones or other markers so that nobody drives through the wet cement.

Anyone know what's going on at Midway Market? There's a crane there with a huge box. Maybe a new air conditioner?

Naw man... The Midway Market is one of the few places those of us health conscious folks can eat a full "meal"!!! The Coca-Cola marketplace is nice, but if you need more than a "snack" the Midway Market is your only option!
