I looked on Theme Park Review today, and saw a new aerial photo update of Cedar Point. The pictures are great but something is wrong with Wicked Twister. Take a look for yourself:

Any thoughts?
That was the side that always seemed to wobble quite a bit. I know that it's better to have some give to it then if it didn't as it would break, but this was actually kinda scary seeing how much it swayed even in a little breeze. Who knows they could be re-attaching it a little bit better.

If you look near where the one piece of track is on the ground, it almost looks as if they are building the foundation to a footer....
Those are nice photos. Anyone else think MF looks extra blue? Maybe they painted it like we all wanted!
I can't see what you're seeing Cpman could you point it out a little bit better. Sorry.

Maybe they are replacing/working on the brakes up top.

Life is like a rollercoaster! It is full of ups and downs
Be sure to take a close look at Millennium Island. ;)
OMG IT'S THE FOOTINGS FOR THE 500 FOOTER!!!111
No but they did clear out some of the trees. There is also a excavator parked over there. I sure hope they don't get rid of too many trees though.

Finally! I was testing everyone to see how long it took to make it from TPR to here. I'm glad you all enjoyed my aerial shots! It was a great day for photo taking and the sun really made all the colors pop. I ran most of them through photoshop to make them look better, so Millennium's blue color may be a bit blue-er than normal.

Actully, looking back at Millennium Island, it looks like most of the bone yard is all cleaned up/missing too.
^And there's the second big thing with the update. Well Schuyler, it didn't take as long as I thought it would for this to be found out.:)
Let the 09 speculation begin.

It's been sold and leaving the park lol.
2007 trips=39..08 trips=47..09 trips=79
maverick rides=143
dragster rollbacks=27
So that's why all those trees had orange X's spray painted on them last fall. What a shocker. Looks like Terror Island needs a new break area.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
