I think its about time for some construction pics at the official site. What pics would you like to see if any?? I would like to see;
-A picture of a train in the station
-A picture from the base of the lift hill looking up at a train
-A picture from the train on top of the hill
-Pics of some of the other construction going on (example.. photo booth, tunnels, landscaping)
(I hope they're watching....)

AnimalsRule it only seems right that you would want to see the pet farm :)
The pet farm will look nice. It appeared that last time I was there (March) that it was nearly complete. The ramp to the back of the barn seemed a bit large, but I don't remember what was there before. The interesting thing is that footers for MF's second drop are right against a fence, presumably for the animals.

I would like to see a picture from the top of the lift hill. But i doubt they would show that, they probly want you to ride the ride to see the outstanding new veiw. Pictures that are rresonable would have to be a picture of the tunnels. A picture from behind the first turn, and a picture of the gaint Wheel.
Yes, I've heard about what the farm now looks like (from Carrie, and thank you very much! Just wish now I could actually see it!) The barn is now red, and there are stone paths around the farm. The ramp in the back of the barn was pretty big last year too...big enough for trucks to be able to drive up there when we get supplies.

i would like to see the train in action and i would also like to see the giant wheel-
uh oh space pirats ahead!!!
Half of the train's tracks are displaced, so I don't think you'll see it running until the area around the cross-over is finished.
As for the Giant Wheel, take any photo of it, put the lake behind it, and you're there.

I'd like to see an aerial shot of Gemini sometime, actually. One that shows the entire layout.
Bill I have a aerial shot of Gemini.

i would like a ride photo of me on the 1st drop
-------------
please send money so i can go to Cedar Point
Isn't it strange that I posted this on 4-12 with what we wanted the pics to be and the pics were taken on 4-12 of the tunnel and the queue... both of which we wanted to see.
(but still no train pictures!)
(please give us train pictures)

"Who needs drugs when you have Cedar Point."
I took some pictures today of the tunnels being constructed, and of the drops. I cannot post them on to a website, although. The tunnels are really nice, and they are about 1/2 way done on them. They really blend in well with Frontier Trail. MF really makes the Frontier Trail seem small. The pet farm has a new pavilion, it looks like it may be used for some shows.
Why can't you post them on the web?
