maXair photos

Cedar Point site isn't down. I am on it right now.

Any idea on why that seat doesn't have a water dummy in it?

Thanks for all of the pics Walt! It is great seeing maXair from all angles, Magnum is looking good, I didn't realize how much construction was actually going on at the park this off season. I knew they were moving the games area. I guess I didn't realize how much work that really was till I saw the pics.

The pictures are from this morning.

The web site having technical difficulties has absolutely nothing to do with whether maXair is running. They wouldn't have a web cam if they didn't want you to watch.

Since you were there, any word on testing going on anytime soon?

I'm glad to see the other Sky Ride station getting painted also.

Amazing pictures Walt!

Can you give us any insight as to how the games area look? It doesnt look much different than how it did last year.

No insight outside of what you see. There's still work to do, so it's hard to get a picture of what the finished area will look like.

any word on testing going on anytime soon?

Sometime within the next 5 weeks. :)

Thanks for the sacastic answer. :)

Lol, I didn't see the Offseason pictures and the Magnum Painting ones. Good job Walt, the park is look awesome.

I was sick in bed most of the day today. When I finally got out of bed I came down to the computer I went to PointBuzz and I saw the new pictures of maXair, Magnum, and offseason and it really brightened up my day. Thanks Walt, nicely done, as usual.

Think 37 days is long enough to repaint Magnum? Thats alot of coaster.

Walt, is the maXair queue line going to be over by the kiddy Tubs? I can't tell yet from the pictures. That looks like a very small amount of space for a huge queue. Can anyone else answer this?

I think the queue will head from the ride toward Johnny Rockets.

I think the area by the tubs is most likely an exit ramp. It looks like there is another one on the other side of the ride. Magnum looks great, I just hope they get new paint on those rusted looking supports as well.

*Edit: the more I look at the pictures from the webcam, the more it looks like they will put the queue on the side by the tubs.

They put up all the canvuses over the queue and it looks like it is on the side with the tubs.

That was my take one it. Looking at both the cam and the initial concept drawing, the area in front (between MA and JR) is like a plaza. The queue will be off the side by Kiddy Kingdom as best I can tell.

If you look at the webcam all the canvus shade things are up by the tubs thats probally the entance. And the ramp with the one up is probally the exit.

I like the canvuses. They look exactly like Dragster's.
