It looks to be 2001.

Yea - spring 2001. If you look closely, you can see LHP being completed, the Magnum trains are on the track, and there is a MF train on the track somewhere on the island.

Can you zip this or size it down any? it's WAY too big. :(

Power Tower looks funny. You can only see the top of it but then you see this long shado of it. Same with the Force

Cedar Point can not and will not be responsible for any thing lost or dammaged.

Terraserver is great for pics of your home stead or any big park in the country.

I'm not an old fogey, I'm just an old coaster rider..

For whomever posted the FIRST image, can you still size it down somehow?

Just can't live in that negative way... Make way for the positive Day

I downloaded it and tried to shrink it in mspaint but every time i tried to open it it nearly crashed my computer.

That's an image I exported and posted on my space. Obviously, it's incredibly large. I tried to find a happy medium between size and detail...the more it gets compressed, the less detail there is when one zooms in. I can shrink it from 12 MB to 4MB, but it's all crappy and I'm on dialup now, so I'm not going to spend a few hours uploading it. I'll do it in January when I'm back at school.

By the way, the image came from a disk I bought for 2 dollars at the Erie County Auditor's office. It's a georectified image of the entire county, used by the tax assesment officers for many things. It's a 600MB file and MrSID viewer is also on the disk to view the file.

I have taken the pic that MDOmnis posted and compressed it, put it into a .zip file, and put it up on my webpage. It is available at http://www.oakland.edu/~crwoelke/cpjpeg.zip if you want it. The compressed size is about 56 MB, down from about 195 MB for the BMP picture Windows downloads.

!?!

The file I uploaded a while back is a 12MB .jpg! Does windows convert images into .bmp when you download them or something? That's really odd.

Heh...the power of DSL. The First pic is amazing.

I dont think its aerial. Just really zoomed in from a sattelite.
