i remeber when they announced magnum during the season and put a sign up/.. Somewhere I have a pciture of it, I'll have to find it iand email it for someone here to post online, anyways it wasn;t an event at all back then just put up plywood barrier and a sign, no media coverage, no webcams,,, (they weren't invented yet)
Well that and coasters werent the biggest things back then(though they were popular...but not like today). But luckily for us Magnum changed all that.;)

Mean Streak would be a better idea. I don't even think the amount of freedom that SH will provide will be enough to enable you (or anyone for that matter) to catch any sort of glimpse of the WWL site. But if you manage to pull it off though, then good job.:)

Probably the only way you could see the WWL site from SH is if you sat on the left arm of the swing facing away from the WWL site so that when the arm swings back you'd be looking down on the site. But that may be streaching it.
Personaly I don't think there will be anyway to see the WWL site from SH. I agree with TTD about MS being the ride of choice to spy from. Perhaps CP&LE as well. Unless they are going to put a fence around the whole area.

I have a feeling that the train will not run the whole season, much like when they started construction of Millennium Force.

The only train at at Cedar Point.:)(besides the one for the kids)
It would make a whole bunch of sense to close off CP&LE railroad during any construction in the WWL site.
Can anyone answer me this question: Did CP&LE RR's layout have to get altered when Millennium was built?
-Adam G- The OG Dragster nut
Yeah, the part of the CP&LE track beside MF's lift was moved approximately ten feet closer to Perimeter Road, during the off-season prior to the 1999 season. However, I forget what excuse they originally gave for moving it before they officially announced their plans for the 2000 season.
Do you think we could see another possible alteration to the track near the WWL site, assuming that we're getting something for 07?
-Adam G- The OG Dragster nut
You know we are getting something big in 07. Whether it alters the train track or not--- who knows. But, I would bet anything the 07 will be a great year for Cedar Point enthusiasts.
I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,
than in the drink with a boat on the rocks.
You wish! Everyone knows it's going to be a normal coaster.:)
(just so everyone knows, me and Shawn have a bet going:))

I guess that would depend on what your definition of "normal" is with regards to roller coasters...
-Gannon
-B.S. Civil Engineering, Purdue University
That's true. I was just trying to get at that it wouldnt be a water coaster.:)
-Adam G- The OG Dragster nut
Well Kinzel started off with Arrow...perhaps he will end with Arrow (now S&S of course). The 2nd (and hypothetically much more reliable) 4d coaster is being built. Hmmm. Haha. :)
My question would be this: whatever it is, will it be Fronteir-themed? Or just a ride...like MF...its on the "Frontier Trail", but isnt exactly "Frontier".
If T & T could throw out a bone, I wish it would be either a) what manufacturer it is coming from or b) what the "theme" (if any) will be.
I'd like to see something come about from B&M. We havent' seen anything from B&M since Mantis was built! And there are a lot of people that like Mantis like me. I think everyone on Pointbuzz likes Mantis. I'm more crazy about Raptor, that has to the best Inverted Coaster Ever built! So maybe they should combine the elements of both rides and create a cool Floorless or Flyer. :)
