New construction markings?

I was there again this sunday, but was unable to make it to that part of the park to see if anything else was done as farr as the markings go.

Has anyone else been back there to see?

When I was up there on the 17th and 18th I saw the markings by CCMR that have been mentioned, but I also saw a marker with a white top along with a solid white square that was spray-painted on the ground beside the SRF line. There are also some red dots in the area of the SRF lockers and a line of green dots along the left front side of Town Hall.

I seem to remember hearing of similar dots showing up on the midway close to Chaos,Troika, and Magnum's restroom before major construction (other than the tower footers) on Dragster started.

i remember that too, but i dont remember that many different colors... what do or could all the colors mean?

So it sounds like the station will be somewhere between CCMR and SRF.

...or a flat ride somewhere between CCMR and SRF.

Seriously!

Or new water lines
Or new storage building
Or new food stand...

You guys are jumping the gun thinking this will be a ride. From what I've seen, I'm very skeptical that this will be something major.

We're just going to have to wait and see...
Only God (and CP) knows what will be coming next year (if anything).

I would agree. From what I've read on message boards (I haven't been on Point since May), ride additions at both CP and MiAdv could be disappointing to those that are expecting them.

Be happy if your home park gets anything in the current economy. The oil companies have us by the kahunas and have begun to squeeze. Thay have more power over us than they even know.

At least I hope they don't know.

For those who havn't read this whole thread...

Just to clear everything up for everyone, here's the color codes for construction markings....

All owners of underground facilities (lines, cable, pipe, etc.) must use the following color code when marking their facilities:

* Red - electric power lines, cables, conduit & lighting cables
* Yellow - gas, oil, steam, petroleum & gaseous materials
* Orange - communications, alarm, cable TV, signal lines, cables & conduit
* Blue - potable water
* Green - sewers & drain lines
* Purple - reclaimed water, irrigation & slurry lines
* Pink - temporary survey markers
* White - proposed excavation

the 4 that are bolded are things we have been seeing up to this point. Hopefully this will help clear up some of the "confusion"

WATER COASTER- unless CP could put a splash element on a flyer that would get people on the ride wet.

There is planned work on Snake River Falls Queue Line...from Mike at ThePointOl....apparantly some work being done on the special access ramp....so dont get to excited about markings you see in around SRF.

Not saying it is or isn't true - that isn't the point. Just beware of what you read on the Internet. Remember, there were also reports that WOF's Patriot was headed to Cedar Point. ;)

That probably explain the markers around SRF. But what about the markers around the mine ride. And the bathrooms?

I think maybe it will be a flume ride like the one at Steel Pier in NJ with the launched brake run. Especially since there are no markings for water... ;D

Sorry, I had to go there!

A "launched brake run"??? And I thought only screamscape was capable of printing such unbelievable manure.

Jugga, it's a joke. Somebody "forgot" to put water in the flume's splashdown at Steel Pier, and when the boat came down, it stopped and one of the patrons got launched.

No water markings, get it?

Wow it's interesting to see the responses to these markings. Granted, there are always some type of markings with new construction, but don't you guys find it a little weird that all these new "lines" are sprouting up right near the bathroom - One of the ones that HASN'T been updated yet?

Think about it, there's sewer/drain markings, phone/data markings (for the pay phone that's right outside that bathroom), Electric lines (for hand dryers and lights, etc..) Proposed excavation, possibly for the digging up of the old lines and burying new, updated systems?

Sounds logical, right? The other bathrooms thathave been updated in recent years have new concrete around them for the most part, so it's logical to assume this may be what is happening.

Just my .02

You check out new construction markings. You can see perfect.

Josh, you're being too reasonable for speculative discussion. Let them dream. ;)
