Well well well... Looky what we have here...

They probably just went to this thread to pick out the "phony names", if that is the case...

The first post says it all:
"With the announcement still being withheld by the gods of Cedar Point, I thought it would be fun to gather a count of what you all think the name should (will) be.
Ballistic Twister, Vektron, (the) Fury, Wicked Twister, Twister, and Gale Force
I choose Vektron, mainly because I think it sounds cool plus the fact that I'm lazy and don't want to say two words because if its named T or WT, what are the odds everyone's going to call it Twister anyways? (Millennium Force aka 'Millennium' or 'Force') Plus, if it is named Gale Force, then that's two rides in the park with the word Force, thus people will get even more confused about the tallest "coaster" being the "Force". :-)

Alright guys, I did this what I call "5 minute special effects" picture. In other words, I didn't put much effort into it, but it get's the point across. I took the webcam photo that was lightened up (link on pg.2) and then took a V2 picture, and dulled it to match the webcam. I then superimposed them together and this is what we get....

Wow I could see that there and it being the real thing, but I think that Disaster Transport (Disaster Dump) Will go so it will have more flat land to gain speet for the large incline and the height! Looks cool!

DT is sweet, I can't see CP taking it down for a long time!

Why would they tear down DT when all they would have to do is move one end of the coaster 50 feet in the other direction? There's pleanty of space...

By the way, check out www.vektron.com it has to do with "lighting atmosphere" could this be related somehow???

Anyone else figure out that there are two cams up now. This one is lower and closer to the site than this one. The first is probably near the lifeguard/tube rental shack near the Rotunda where the second is the high on the Breakers Tower. It's kind of hard to get a bearing on the Vektron/Fury/Twister/Gale cam when it's dark and all you have to go off of is some trace amounts of light near 12E. And it's not the IS guys having fun with the names, it's probably Dan Feicht himself :)

Unfortunately, it seems like the Twister/Gale/Fury/Vektron cam automatically stops updating at 7:59 pm each day.

Actually I think if you look at the Vektron cam in some of the lightedned up pictures, it appears mounted on the Aquatic stadium. I guess that makes good proof it is not coming down.

I first kinda went "ugh" at the thought of yellow track on the beachfront, but looking at it now... I actually kinda like it... hoping that the CP version also has a much darker support color.. the thought of the ENTIRE THING being yellow isn't so hot... but that's not really in CP style... (except Raptor, but it's two different shades of green, at least)/P

Nice picture and everything, that looks too much like a Six Flags then CP. It's still kind of hard to picture a "Six Flags" type ride at CP. An impluse coaster was the last thing I expept CP to put in, but hey, if it works, fo with it, I quess.

Looks like that banner was a hint after all... :) The words "Thanks very much for visiting our place" twisting in at us....

it now reads 'counstruction cam"
