Track has arrived!

The first pieces of track showed up at the Breakers Express staging area this morning 8/19. The brown color looks more like a nice copper metallic to me in person.

Very nice! I agree the color looks better in this picture.

My birthday present has arrived!! I will take this over not having an announcement yesterday!! Considering I was there and saw the crane/ fence and put the pieces to the puzzle together!!!

RollerCoasters and Rock Concerts! Life in the fast Lane!!

How do you guys even know its for Cedar Point?

Maybe its going up to Wonderland ;)

I'll post some pics of the track tonight if no one else does when I get back from the park. I like the color better in person than earlier photos.

Hoe did you get that picture? Looks like your 20 feet off the ground to take it.

Probably from a window on the second floor of BE.

Cool.

Promoter of fog.

Here's the track outside the Breakers Express.

Does anyone else think this is an elaborate ruse from the park? theres still no confirmation that the park is getting a coaster next year. I'm putting money on a dark ride.

It looks nice. Can't wait for it to go vertical

No. I do not think this is a ruse.

If only CP had a live webcam at BE :/

I don't think they would have that fence and a countdown for a dark ride.

Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports, Cards in the Spokes, Automatic Biographies, Kites, Kung Fu, Trophies, Banana Peels We've Slipped On and Egg Shells We've Tippy Toed Over

How can people still possibly be going against the dive coaster theory at this point? They must be in denial.

Based on the last line in his post, I assume he was kidding.

I have a 3rd floor room in BE for the next few nights. They were getting ready to unload another shipping container when we left for the park. I'll get the dslr out tomorrow morning and see if I can find any labels with a name on it.

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many pieces have been made and are ready for shipment?

They call me Sheehan.

There would have been an announcement last night, thus the confirmation you are after; that was postponed but no reason was seen to postpone deliveries. So.. Not sure if serious.

Yes. Clermont Steel Fabricators, Bolliger & Mabillard, and Cedar Fair likely all know the exact production and delivery schedule, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

They clearly timed this according to the announcement (or vice versa). Track arrives one day after the announcement date. They probably figured it wouldn't be a big deal having the track on display since it would already be announced.
