My my, we sure are sounding sure of ourselves! Especially for one who has the specs in his signature and is calling a concept art pic (that HAS those specs in it) fake!

I dont man, toooo much detail was put into that to have been done in a "few minutes".

If, "IF" it is the genuine article, then for one am satisfied.

If it's not the real thing, then it's cool never the less. Though I can't imagine the layout being any different.

Only thing that is keeping me from saying its "real" is the lift hill. Seems to be decently high which means speed. I am not too sure about it going into the piece that was set first. But again I could be totally wrong and the lift could be less than 170 feet. Can't wait for the announcement.

Yeah it's fake


I've never been to Cedar Point, but I hear it's nothing special.

I hate to say it but if this is anywhere close to what they are doing, this would explain the extra time... There is quite a bit more theming than normal and also would explain the not very extensive (in comparison to ride footers) footers they are building around the site now....

No the extra time is to build out onto millenium island and those footers are for lightpost.

^ That's just about how I feel. If it's real.. I'm happy with that. If not, it's still an admirable fake.

It's actually a triangular prism similar to the track on califonia screaming

I also can't imagine the layout being any different. If this is a real artwork, then I am verrry excited about this ride.

Well I'm sorry to inform you that it's all just an elaberate fake created by my cat named millie (big millenium force fan) using 3-D modeling software.

Strategerie

I never said it was real.... I just said if it was then it would explain the need for extra time for constructing the extra "stuff".... And props to millie then.

good... confuse/denie/distract

Oh and for those of you who were at the park today/yesterday, how long did Dragster run (regarding the wind)?

I wasn't there on Thursday, but I was there today. (Yesterday now.) Dammit, I mean Friday. I was there Friday.

TTD was down most of the day, as far as I could tell. There were "TTD Closed But May Reopen Later" signs at both Park Ops and Guest Services. It was very windy, probably constant winds over 20 - 25 mph, gusting over 40, I'm guessing. I did see it running around 9:15 p.m. or so, but it was from the Ferris Wheel so I couldn't tell if there were any riders on it or not. Hope it helps. :)

Maverick is also his second favorite ride, tied with TTD. Is it Paul Ruban? Oh wait, it can't be, he'd say its his all time favorite. :)
