New construction near Gemini...

Anybody know what's going in near Gemini?

There is a new concrete pad along the fence line, just to the right of the ride entrance, with four good sized footings with anchor bolts sticking up. The concrete is saw-cut in a grid pattern along the edges of the footings

The whole thing is perhaps 8x8 feet. It's bigger than the foundations that appeared last season for the Live Entertainment signs.

There is no electrical conduit feeding through the concrete.

Any ideas?

Maybe it is the B&M Flyer that Cedar Point deserves...or......maybe it is something that has to do with Halloweekends, maybe.

No pictures? Oh the horror. For something that small, my guess is that it is some sort of display for halloweekends. Perhaps a new game.

Dive Machine or Euro Fighter.

I called it

Hell no, or Sure.

Although, not in that location. This is a non-ride related cement slab.

I'm voting planter stand.

Just ask the Lemon Chill guy...duh.

Halloweekends thing.

Given the timing, it would seem to be a HW thing. The location, however, is quite odd for something related to HW, unless there are even more changes than already alluded to.

I doubt it would be a coaster. Probably something for Halloweekends. Because we all know if they are going to build a new coaster for next year, they have to tear Mean Streak down first. ;)

I also doubt it's going to be a coaster. I would expect it to be something for Halloweekends or some sort of small family ride for next year.

/me laughs at all this.

If it's for a small family ride, it's for a REALLY SMALL ride.

The pad in question is, I say again, no bigger than 8x8 feet. The four anchor footings form what looks to be a regular square. There are no conduits brought up through the concrete.

The biggest thing that might fit on that spot would be something like a climbing wall, but it wouldn't make sense to put one that close to the entrance to a major coaster. I didn't get photos because I didn't have my camera handy (gasp!).

My expectation is that it is for a sign, or a small building about the size of a Guessing game. I posted because I wondered if anyone here had either seen it or heard anything.

I haven't seen this concrete slab RideMan. I was just guessing that it might be for Halloweekends or a small family or children's ride. I'm sure that if you imply that it's probably not a ride of any sort, I would probably agree with you considering that you have recently been to the Point and I have not. Sorry if my answer from above sounded stupid.

I saw it last week, to me it looks like it is the foundation for a large sign. It's anyone's guess as to whether it has anything to do with Halloweekends.

I know, it's the foundation for a micro-dormitory for all those time-share weasels.

Isn't that where the big blow up - death dude - for

halloweekends is located, maybe they want to stop 

killing the grass every year.... :)

Maybe Gemini Is getting a monumental sign like Millennium Force or Top Thrill Dragster...lol.

It would be sad if Gemini got a sign before Magnum did. It's easy to see where Gemini's entrance is...

Magnum... not so much.

^ Well... It is Gemini's 30th birthday this year. I wonder if it isn't getting some kind of sign for that? Maybe Magnum will get one next year for the big 2-0?

No, this IS the sign for Magnum. This is the one for the people who walked that far past because they didn't see the entrance. It will have an arrow pointing back toward maggie. Then they'll have a 2nd sign over by Corkscrew for the people walking the other way. ;)

Isn't Gemini older than Magnum?
