Ok that Frontier Farm thing is a total April Fools prank. Not sure if that relates to this topic, but it is "New for 2014." Ha, if this is real, I think I might just skip the park this summer. Just kidding!

Oh just a little edit, this was on the page, (FrOnTiER FaRm is scheduled to open on November 3, 2014.). This just proves it. I think that is the end of the park's season...

Staring at the Web Cam, because there is nothing else to do until Cedar Point opens... :) ... The concrete sidewalk going under Pipe Scream heads over to Jr. Gem.. I mean Wilderness Run also..
Originally it was said that the entrance to Wilderness Run was going to be moved to Camp Snoopy.. Do you think that will be the Exit, Entrance, or just a Employee walkway to get to Wilderness Run..
GATEKEEPER-I came, I rode, I was mildly disappointed; until a second ride (rear left) put GateKeeper back on the...it's a nice ride list.
My first thought was ride exit. And while that wouldn't be abnormally far from the entrance for a coaster, it does seem a tad far for a family/kid ride. Though perhaps I'm over thinking it.

That maybe the entrance to Pipe Scream. I believe the Wilderness Run entrance and exit are to be inside Camp Snoopy.
PB-Reader was referring to the sidewalk that heads away from Pipe Scream and toward Wilderness Run's station (on the Gemini midway side).

The walkway that goes under the hump is the entrance to Pipe Scream. The queue is the large concrete pad you see behind it. The exit will be, and this is just a guess, on the food stand side of the ride.
Wilderness Run will enter and exit from Camp Snoopy, near where Tilt a Whirl is located.
Then what's that other walkway for? That's what we're trying to figure out.

If that's the case, then will they take that waterway out where the Tilt a Whirl queue is right beside?

After going back and looking at the concept art and looking at the webcam, it looks like the path between the concessions and Pipe Scream will be a short cut to Camp Snoopy.

It looks too narrow for a guest path. Unless the webcam is deceiving, note that the low point on the Gemini side is lower than the low point on the loading platform side. Because of that, I'm guessing Pipe Scream's car gets maintained on the Gemini side dip and that the mystery walkway is simply an access path for maintenance to get there.
I think we will still only have 2 paths for Camp Snoopy, just like before.
Park has been lit up lately. Was up in Sandusky this weekend, got shots from a few piers in the day and night, I'll post pictures later.

While I'm not convinced of that side being lower, it does make sense that the path might be maintenance access for both rides.
Though I don't know why they'd perform car maintenance there; I just assume that's how they'll access that side for track inspection.

I'm not fully convinced of the lowness either. As for why do it on that side (lower or not), given that stations tend to keep cars very tight to the entrance platform (we don't want guests to step into gaps), maintenance on cars is usually done elsewhere simply for easier overall access.
And the narrow paver channels are being marked out in the street. The new borders/edges are looking great, it's gonna be really cute.
It looks as if Monster's exit will be moved to the opposite side.
