Good deal, looking forward to it.

Thanks Walt

Wow, those video interviews sure look fantastic. ;)

looking at the video it apears that there will be some trims before the turn over the pond. This thing is going to be amazing though I can't wait.

You have got to be kidding me...

I'm glad they opted for out and out fun rather than breaking records. Can't wait for this one.

I went to bed at 11, hoping, praying that I would hear my 330 alarm (and not wake up my bro in the same room. I ended up sleeping off and on every two minutes, starting from when I woke up at 2. The only thing I can say is, beside the awesome video they have on the site leading from the front gates to the ride (map it out, its Running of the Bulls fodder!) I am absolutely stunned that it isn't constructed by Intamin! Be that as it may, I am completely happy, and when I'm counted truant on one of my last days of my senior year of high school to come opening day, I'll definately have a great reason! Thanks Cedar Point! You are the R0x0rs of my thrill-seeking soul!

Intaride is the US Division of Intamin I believe.

Awesome little thing I noticed... if you go onto the "stats and layout" page http://maverick.cedarpoint.com/ride/stats/ the ride goes up in the order of construstion in an animation... just nifty!

Im really looking forward to this ride now!!! It looks like another great addition to cedar point... AND it IS a record breaking coaster... Cedar Point's 17th coaster, once again making the point officially the park with the most roller coasters! Now I can get my 4 hours of sleep...

Is it me or does Monty sound like President Bush!?

i miss monty jasper already, gary gast isn't as cool of name either

Jeff did you shoot those interviews? Or were you generally commenting on it?

This looks great that hartline roll near the end looks real fun...now how do I talk my misses into flying 4000 miles again next year to visit the point? :)

heres one of the letters, Dave (producer of fox news 8) wrote me Jeff...

Hi Zach-

I just wanted to keep you updated... It doesn't look like we'll be
doing a "preview" story of the new Cedar Point ride before tomorrow's
announcement. Unfortunately, a local police officer was shot and
killed a few days ago, and our extensive coverage of that has pretty
much taken up most of our resources.
Thanks again for giving us the "OK" to use the video... it would
have been a good story.. [end quote]

So it could have been on the news!!!! Sad to say it didn't make it because of that other story. Thanks for the great posts Jeff!!! Smart guy!!! Ps and my mockup was off but not if you think in terms of the Semi dueling trains and the swan pond section and was the first to come up with the whipping semi inverted turns even before the screamscape thing was leaked!!!! *** Edited 9/7/2006 8:08:02 AM UTC by Zbusta***
