Speed Freaks - 2003

11 days until I process in.

So is there a train on the track somewhere? I only see four on the transfers.

I don't remember if this has been brought up yet but what the heck. You see the fence around the 4 turn? Does this serve purpose or is it suposed to look like the fences around race tracks?

I never thaught of that KICKTHESKY, thats probably what it is. They do look like fences at a race track...trust me, I know!

I see 4 on the transfers, 1 on the track right next to them, and one on the break run. If you look at the archived PT photo, you can see reflection for the on on the break run.

Yes, the fence is for the theme.

What is most anticipated event of 2003? the debut of Dragster, the release of Metallica's new album, the release of Terminator 3, or the release of Matrix:Reloaded...tough call.

I think that the fence is a great little touch. I love to see all of the details that they are adding to this ride. Should turn out great.

Can't wait to be at the Point!

should?!? WILL turn out great! (with or without a dragster in the plaza, it will be a great ride)

Rogue, what is it about a dragster that's so tacky?? Sitting in a car capable of going 250 mph is just amazing. I for one would love the chance to go anywhere near a piece of machinery (sp?) like that. Once again, great idea by a great park.

driving one would be nice, but just sitting in one? c'mon...yeah, that's a great story to tell the grandkids, "i SAT in a dragster! How cool is that" im sure they'd kick you in the shins...

Eh, more like 300 mph, but who's keeping track? ;) Lol, actually the fastest top fuel dragster recorded was at 333.08 mph, driven by Tony Schumacher.

The Construction site is lit up again tonight.

Does it stop at 420 feet in the air.......?¿?
No you still have to spiral down

If you take a look at this link http://www.cedarpoint.com/public/inside_park/webcam/beach.cfm

It looks like Cedarpoint moved the camera farther down lower and closer to the TTD tower since you can se MF is lit up also

Kyle, do you watch dragracing? What do you think of Brandon B.? I think he's holding up the tradition. Gonna be a good racer.

Cedarpointfan, I believe the Breakers Cam is where it's always been. There has been no change.

To me it seems like they lowered it a little bit

This morning there was something right in from of the cam. Maybe a rain gutter or something like that going diagonal across the shot. It was so darn windy in ohio today I would imagine something may have fallen near the camera hense. the change.. I should have saved the pic. Did anyone else see this?

------------------
Just the track, the wind, and the speed.

I saw it too. I think you are right, it did look like a gutter.

Yes I saw it and I think it was something. I have no idea what it was. lol

This is what I was talking about yesterday in my earlier post (end of page 40). This is a crane boom in front of the beach cam. I know this because I caught a shot of it as the top of the crane was in front of the cam. Later you could just see the middle of the boom. So I wonder, once again, what work they're doing there with a crane.
