Track ARRIVES!

Yesterday around 7:30am I saw two flatbed trucks pull through the parking lot with what looked to be long white coaster supports, both trucks were loaded down. That is all I saw because next time I checked the webcam view all of the cameras were down and have been ever since.

Are they down on purpose??? 0__0

This evening I saw two sections of straight track on a flatbed on the Northbound lane of I-75 in Auglaize County. Wow! That was awesome! More on the way! The colors are Great!

More photos are up as of about an hour ago. Looks like the transfer track?

And there are supports.

That facebook account is amazing.

I asked Annie at the tour this past weekend. She doesn't know who runs the page. So, unless it's full time employees running the page, this level of coverage probably won't continue much past this weekend.

It looks like some of those photos are from within the actual construction sight though. Which I'm guessing is a restricted area. I don't think they would allow any employee to just wander inside of the construction sight and take pictures.

Wouldn't a full time employee running a fan Facebook page be frowned upon or prohibited?

Maybe one of the construction workers just happens to be a huge fan? OR Tony and Tyler are secretly making a comeback. haha :)

So, it appears as though the webcams are back up and running, but to no avail they have not been moved, or at least the front gate cam has not been moved. Hope this occurs soon...kinda tough to see from that far away. Better than nothing though.

Considering how Cedar Point has previously handled situations where employees share info like this, I'm a little surprised the page is still online. I believe there is/was a pretty strict warning during training about sharing confidential or restricted information online. Perhaps their view on such things has been relaxed.

I like the cam where it is, and I think it'd be a shame if they moved it now.

First of all, it provides an overview of the entire job site, so we'll be able to see all the construction - including the front gate replacement. Secondly, there'd be no time lapse video chronicling the entire project. If they move the camera now, we'd miss the removal of SS and DT, as well as the construction completed up to this point.

It does? I certainly can't see a god damn thing from where it's at. An overview of the entire job site would be from the top of Windseeker.

Considering that we are all the biggest coaster nerds, we are also considered the roller coaster paparazzi... Once a coaster becomes famous and is new to the scene, we just can't stop taking pictures of it and stalking it! "Gatekeeper track, look over here! Supports, hold your bolts onto the track and look like you love each other!" Snap, Snap, Snap! LOL I just made myself laugh

I agree^ Once we see vertical construction that cam will show the hill and the keyholes and the turnaround, like dj said, the entire project. If they wanted to move another camera to a different part of the site, I'd be ok with that but hopefully they leave that one where it is until the coaster is finished.

I agree, the current cam can stay where it is, but the one that.s currently at breakers could be moved for more of a close up.

Maybe because there's not much to see at this stage of construction. Would you prefer they zoom in on one of the piles of dirt?

How about moving the live cam onto the construction site after this weekend?

I dont know about that. Millennium force is pretty exciting in the off season ;)

A pile of dirt is more exciting than a parking lot that is going to be empty for 6 months.
