Support rumor true?

ShiveringTim's avatar
We all know about the recent rumor of a support on MF having to be reordered (see CP Place topic: MF not opening on time?). I'm beginning to think that some of it might be true. If you look at the webcam now (Friday 1/28/00, 8:50am), you'll see that they are working near the middle support of the 2nd overbank. I don't remember there being a support there yesterday, but I do remember there being a support when they moved the webcam. Can anyone out there verify this for me? Don't you love all this conspiracy theory stuff? :)

The center support was never there. It was erected apparently this morning or yesterday.

The rumor is still just silly nonsense.

why would they erect a support in the middle of track that was already hung? wouldn't the support need to be there first? or did they realise "hey, looks like we need another support there" ???

"I think I scrambled my brain!!"
you guys are all waisting your time. Even if the suport was faulty I doubt it will slow them down any, if at all. They can work on other areas while waiting for the parts that are needed.

Don't get caught up in it. It is all just hype and the person who started it wanted it to get to you. And it has! Don't worry you will have your 310ft roller coaster by the time May 13 rolls around, so don't get your panties in a wad!!!
Hey, panties in a wad is my catch phrase!:( Yeah, Peetree is right though, just like the one a few weeks ago about BS and DT getting taken out and four new rides occurring.

Thank you for riding Raptor and enjoy your day here at Cedar Point, America's RollerCoast!

Actually, the panties thing goes back to something Unitygem said last year, so I think she gets dibs. :)

And incidentally, how does one "waist" time? Is that some kind of dieting thing?

LOL! Sorry spelling is not my strong suite. LOL! I enjoy the phrase panties in a wad IT IS MINE!!!!
Come May 13th my wife & I will be in line for Millennium Force & our only concerns will be rain and low flying planes!!!

Actually, it is quite humorous that the same rumor about a wrong part was going around about Goliath at SFMM. Just goes to show you that no matter what side of the country you are on, the same rumors occur.
