New for 2006 - Skyhawk

The only reminder of WWL, other than someone's own personal memories, will be just that cool looking model in the Town Hall Museum. That might could even be gone as well too.

might could?

I hope they don't get ride of the model.. unless they auction it for cahrity.. it would be awesome on my train layout

They better not get rid of the model. They have no reason to, it's a part of Cedar Point history.

Yeah I hope they keep the model of it as well. Because over the years people might forget how the ride layout used to be and forget how the ride used to be. One Model in the Musuem that I find really cool is the Mean Streak one! I bet that had to take forever to do because the wood they used for it.

Josh is right, why would they.

Take a look at the SH webcam. They put that blue covering over the seats. Do you think they can test it like this?

they are just protecting them from the weather. As stated before, they have a lot of electrical to do still. I don't think they could test them like that though. I'm sure once they are ready to test they will remove the covering.

Looks like they put in lamps as well.

What I was going to ask is... why are there individual floors when it looks like there not needed?

It looks to me like S&S came up with some special type of lap restraint(not surprising) to suit this ride... so why the floor?

Then again, will you even notice the floor when riding?

Well you should be able to notice them.....since your feet will be on them at one point during the ride.:)

But my guess is that it will act as an added safety feature. Dont forget that the height limit is only 48" so there will be youngsters (who range in that limit) riding it.

And, I'm sure it's helpful in that whole "getting your butt up into the ride" thing...

You wouldn't believe the amount of people who ask for a step-stool over at Wicked Twister.

I can believe that, though I don't have much trouble with it.

Really? I'm not that short and the seat on WT...well, to put it politely, probably owes me a steak dinner.

The first time I rode WT I was waiting for the floor to drop and then 123 wwwuuussshhh it launched (I thought my feet were going to hit the floor on the way back). It made for an exciting ride though.:)

I just kind of Hop in to get into Wicked Twister. I'm like 5'7 and I still feel short when it comes to Wicked Twister but I still love t he ride. It's still awesome, and I ride it like 5-10 times a day because there is usually no waiting on it. Well there is but it usually is like 20 minutes, but towards the end of the evening towards closing you can get off and get back on again.

Thats funny, on wicked twister, I didn't have to 'hop' in to the seat at all, I just sat down...

But yeah, I guess the floor can used for that, it still seems pointless to me though...

How tall are you Scream? I'm 5'-10" and I have to hop up into it too.

I'm about 5'10 or 11 and it takes a decent hop to get in. The fun thing this summer was to watch my 5'1" aunt get on.

I don't know, I'm almost 6 feet tall... all I know is that I'm too tall to ride Top Gun at Wonderland.

All I can remember is waiting in line for it.

How did this turn into a Wicked Twister topic?

I'm looking forward to riding Skyhawk, I'm there all opening week so I'll get plenty of rides each morning! Eh, Millennium Force, TTD and maXair are open in the morning too right?(like for hotel guests)
