Pics

Anyone have any pictures that are better than those printed in the newspaper? Pics of MF broke down that is, recently...

Why... they'll just look like photos of the ride running.

I don't expect you'll see anything like that. Having a better understanding of the "issues," I think it's safe to say you won't see what's going on there.

I've got a pic taken from the Power Tower webcam before they shut it off, courtesy of MiLlEnNiUmGuRl.  I uploaded it to my own webspace:

WOW!  THat is an amazing picture! 

Jeff was EXACTLY correct with his first post above.  Looks like a train about to crest the top.  Nothing unusual.

Here are some(from some guy's site):

I have some up-close pictures of them replacing the cable and pictures of people(workers) coming off the ride but I won't post them for several reasons... Cedar Point took down the webcam for a reason.

Andrew, you say they took the webcam down for a reason.  Well, its obvious that it was down while the ride was being fixed, but you imply there was another reason.  Based on the fact you can hardly tell when there is a train on the hill, what reason could there be?  Do you know something that has not been stated?

They took down the web cam so people don't go to the site and see on the web cam that Millennium Force stuck... then if something happened... say a rollback when they push it over then no one can see it. I was just told by a few of my friends(a few people who used to work at the park) that it would be best not to post pictures. I do know that there was some small nooks in the I-beam... it just won't be a smart PR move to show pictures of people working on the track. BTW, the webcam is now back up.
