The crown of the tophat

Ryan.. as far as the 3 year thing.. With very few exceptions (like Vertigo which was pitched at the previous years IAAPA) .. things are planned out several years in advance...

I just noticed on the ground webcam that if you look closely that it appares to be some new track by the wall but it is not flat track or brack track it seems that it has a box shape so maybe they are going to add that on after the brack track and do some more elements or could it just be for the track to go into the station? Does anyone have any ideas about this?

One other thing could it be possible if that wall could be blocking somthing maybe a turn or anther element mebay that wall is to protect cedar point secret so we would still think that cedar point is still building a Lanch brack tophat so maybe they are doing somthing behide it. What do you think about this?

Rob, that's the first time I noticed that you had 82 rides on VertiGo. Damn, you loved that thing didn't you ;)

Let your mind go...and your body will follow...

I really think that the tower will be topped off soon.

The supports are nearly to a point and it looks as though a full spin down in nearly complete. I think the actual tophat is coming in to place soon.

Oh boy! I think that there will be only one more section of track added to the top. Does anyone have an accurate estimate of the current height?

------------------
Oh yeah, if there's bugs on your shirt, you had a good ride.

Thank you Jeff for your work to make and run this site!

Just Multiply 51' x how many catwalks there are = ____

Launching In 3........2........OFF.......WOSH!

I didn't know where else to put this, but i recently came across this picture on the Cedar Point web page. It is a helicopter photo of Millennium Force under construction. What's cool about it is that it is taken at almost the exact spot where the crown of the tophat would be. Exact height almost too. It just gives a nice perspective of what the view will be like when coasting over the tophat. No big deal, just thought i'd share it with ya'll.

Riddler's Revenge is better than Mantis.Raptor is better than Batman.Viper is better than Corkscrew.Goliath is better than Magnum. Cedar Point are only focused on getting tall rides.SFMM are focused to have an assortment of coasters. They have a floorless, stand-up, inverted, hyper,2 wooden, LIM, suspended, boomerang,2 looping, 4dimensional coasters.

SFMM Rules!!!

I'm confused.

------------------
Without upstops, airtime would have a whole new meaning!

xcoasterx7, CP has just as much of an assortment as SFMM. They have a giga, hyper, inverted, suspended, LIM launched, rocket, mine, bobsled, stand-up, sit down looping, racing, 2 wooden, compact steel, 2 junior, and probably something I'm missing. Where is the lack of diversity?
