sweet pics...I think those are the pics we have been waiting for. Definitely can't wait!!

Wow that que is longggg haha! The station is sharp and the food stands under the bleachers are nothing short of genius. The green train is shown a few times, with only 4 cars, but it is still an awesome looking train.

D/\MN GINA!!!!!!!!

In the picture from the 25th, it looks like the power station is now the Speed Freaks Store. It looks so cool!!

Worlds of fun is Nothing Compared to Cedar Point!!!

these pic´s are great!! can´t wait for the mediaday pictures and reviews!!

------------------
I´ve never heard about CP before TTD

I don't see any sun shades yet. I hope they still are waiting to be put in. If there are not going to be any, it will be very hot in that line. The water-spraying fans help, but the sun can be brutal.

The queue looks SOOO boring, even with the trivia boards along one side. Also, I still have a glimmer of hope that the ride will eventually hold 16 people per train because CP hasn't changed the specs page on the TTD website. I would think they would want to change something like that ASAP if it were a permanent change.

I wouldn't bet on the trains holding 16 people (at least not at the beginning) based on the information for the Fireland Red Cross Bidding.

LOL...do the que's look SOOO boring vanessa? How is that possible, ques arent supposed to look fun, they are supposed to be depressing seeing how long you will have to wait until you ride the ride, even though Mf's que "looks better" i wouldnt say I would rather wait an hour in this line opposed to TTD line...i must be missing something here

Que? ;) I think you mean queue.

Just LOVE the pictures! My favorite one is now the one that shows the grandstands with "Cedar Point Dragway" on the back.

Remember. Water droplets magnify. This is how I get my "amazing tan" in the summer. Tanning lotion, yard sprinkler, 15 minutes of sun, repeat.

Everyone spells it wrong, lets just stop being so critical over people mispelling and misspronouncing probably one of the oddest terms in the roller coaster language.

I dunno, at some parks (SFMM) they have tv's and shade (screens) in line that play cartoons...so that makes the line less boring. And i thought they had a DJ at Cedar Point when the rides were new...i have never been there when the DJ's were, i guess i just missed them. And i dont understand why they wouldnt put shade...it seems like on a lot of roller coasters, they forget about simple things like that. Even Xcelerator at Knotts, they still have not put shade in the lines...and some days during the summer, temps get over 100...but they still manage to offer $3.00 Coca Colas....how convienient.

After looking at the pictures of the queues, I didn't see any type of footers or poles for a shade mechanism. I agree it's going to get pretty toasty out there until the trees around the area have some time to grow..

Life is too short...go ride a coaster!!

I don't think that the want for correctness is being critical. A little education can go a long way, unless you are afraid of learning something new. I would like to think that most people can spell it correctly, the term is not limited to "the roller coaster language" either I'm afraid.

Yeah the sign is my fav pic I also like the camera mounts and the unload station.

The sign is very nice. I approve!

Anyway, maybe they dont want to block people's view of the tower from the line. Who knows...?
