maXair Structure on site

Well with a new month you got yet more up dates, but its nothing we havent seen yet since the huge Pointbuzz update, but if you want go check it out on CedarPoint dot com...

for an idea what this may look like once it's put together you can check out Paramount Canada's Wonderland's Psyclone. it's a tiny bit smaller though. I rode it when I was at wonderland a few years back and it was almost relaxing.

Finally! Someone else who has been to Wonderland! I was there in August and I saw Psyclone but I'm really kicking myself for not riding it. When I saw the announcement that Cedar Point was getting maXair, I thought "Hey! its like the thing at Wonderland." They also have one at Paramount's King Island, called Delirium.

In the last picture it looks like they got some of concrete poured.

Psyclone at PCW is the older version of Huss Frisbee rides. Delirium and maXair are the new Giant Frisbees that swing higher and sit more people. As of right now Delirium and maXair are the only Giant Frisbees in North America.

In this picture, maybe an obvious question, Jeff or Walt could answer cause they were there recently there but what is the structure on the left of the picture...

my GUESS would be its a revamp of a game, or possibly part of the station/ramp area.

Kiddieland Refreshments

Gomez, be glad that Raptor doesn't have CCMR restraints....the "one size fits the fattest guy on the train" restraints...

The refreshment stand is apparently going to be home to the compressors that operate the floor and the hydraulic pumps that feed the six motors at the top of the ride.

Huh Intresting, i was wondergin where they were gonna put the power source for this new attraction...

Anyone who has been on Delirium, how loud are motors? Also, is there a chance that they'll redo the ugly Transport Refreshments with the carnival games since I think they are connected? That strip of building and that other indoor thing are the only things that always looked bad in the park.

There are 2 new pictures on Cedar Point's website. It looks like vertical construction is going to be starting soon. It looks like they have the things anchored in the cement. (I cant thing of the name of them)

Footers or anchors sounds good. It looks like it should be up soon.

Odd that the foundations are set in little pits like that. I don't recall them being lower than the floor on PKI's ride.

Yea in this picture you can see that they are below the floor.

Ah, there you have it then. I assume they'll fill in the area between the foundations with dirt.

I have been on Delirium and I don't really remember the motors being very loud at all. Seems to me it ran pretty quietly.

It looks like the ride will be going up soon. There are supports, and the top of the ride on site.

The supports are now being carried over to the footers.

They are putting the supports up right now. I am watching both on the funcoast cam and the Cedar Point webcam!!!!
