New for 2014

Man, that is an interesting choice of sun shade. :)

Are you at Bubbles a lot Steve? I was there often enough last year that when bartender Victor saw me he just started making my gin and tonic, didn't have to ask what I wanted.

Yeah Pete, we get to bubbles quite a bit over the summer mostly on weekends. Probably would be over more if i could get my wife to trade our rv for a boat. Anyway, you would usually find us just sitting at the bar or over on the chairs facing the beech. I'll have to look for you when warmer weather hits.

Genius! I'm stealing this! :-)

I was looking at the newest OnPoint blog post, and in the third picture down (of "Monster's tentacles"), what is that I'm seeing on the underside of Gemini's track?

I think you are looking at the Lake Erie Eagles "cars" before they were attached to the ride. Or there is a ladder leaning against it track supports. Beyond that I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Where under Gemini's track? I'm not seeing anything that looks out of place.

In this image, look at the underside of Gemini's track.

It looks like the stairs. And doesn't that section have anti-rollbacks?

Stairs sound like the most reasonable answer. Thanks!

I guess that's why I had a hard time spotting what you saw, it all looked normal.

I see wood!

The thing I noticed is in the last photo. Way in the distance are pretty monster tubs waiting there on the pavement to be installed. I see red, orange, but no yellow.

The stuff below Gemini's track looks like walkboards of some kind. I'm not sure if they're there all the time, but if not maybe the track's getting a little paint or something.

Newly painted Gemini track would be a wonderful touch. Not necessarily needed, but would still be nice to see with the new midway.

This isn't related to what you guys are talking about, but I saw a new 2014 Cedar Point commercial. :)

I saw a commercial during The Big Bang Theory last Thursday.

I was at Carowinds this past weekend and I was hoping to try out the new Chickie's and Pete's there. However, the venue was still under construction. I hope Cedar Point's is ready for opening day. Having access to it on Media Day would be even better. But, I won't get my hopes up on that one.

Agree about Black & Tan..regular Yuengling is ok..but Black & Tan, great great great.

Didn't know that about Great Lakes, will have to go there and snag one. Hopefully they have a variety, Fitz is ok, but I prefer Dartmunder, or right now Chillwave

I don't want to start a new thread "New for 2015" but Tony posted this picture with the caption "Bit early in the season for this, #dontyathink?"

He could just be having fun with us. Yesterday there was an announcement of road work on 1st St.
