News: Cedar Point starts construction on new attraction

http://www.pointbuzz.com/news.htm?id=943

haha nice plug for Pointbuzz

Red girders?

OMG, they started construction already. :)

At first glance, my brain inserted the word "vertical" immediately after "starts". So, needless to say, Walt has ruined my day. ;)

That was the worst display of "journalism" I've ever seen. Yeah nice Pointbuzz plug if anything. We know you are the picture king Walt, but I see you got credit for Aaron Stegall's photo's too. Red Girders ... that is funny!

I have to agree with cyberdman - that was just an awful piece of journalism. If you're going to bother writing a story like that, at least do some research so you use the correct terminology. WOW. I haven't seen pilings OR girders on site yet. Wonder what pictures they're looking at?? :)

Did somebody say Pulitzer? I think they're definitely in the running...

I'm suprised there isn't another story on their front page about man landing on the moon. That's still news isn't it?

Anyone notice this too?

Construction photos take by Walt Schmidt at PointBuzz.com.

That was their error, not yours, correct?

If so, *sigh*.

Yep. And this article was put together by an "Executive Producer". Apparently it wasn't checked by an "Executive Editor"

I asked them not to use photos that didn't have my name on it. They obviously missed that. I'm sorry you are so troubled by this.

"Pay no attention to the cyberdman behind the curtain"

Walt we all love what you do for this site.

I think Cyberdman was just pointing out that they made another mistake. I don't think he meant any disrespect. I know for sure that Tom (cyberdman) respects what Walt does for the site.

I'm surprised it took this long for someone in the media to report about Project 2007.

I would have whored my pictures out to the media for free publicity of my site. :)

I'm such a hit whore

Absolutely! Thanks buddy.

We love you Walt. Actually funny thing whenever Jeff Y. and I are at the park together and we see a small aircraft flying overhead we joking say to each other "Hey, there goes Walt again!"

I have a feeling that the 2007 COASTER will be a FLOORLESS Coaster, and it might not go up 500 ft on the 1st Hill. That will make me mad.

*Insert random bit of sarcasm from Jeff here*

Ummm...ummm...okay, I don't feel like spilling sarcasm right now, someone else want to?

This is not going to be a floorless. It's been discussed that it most likely is Intamin.
