Wicked Twister added to banner on cedarpoint.com

dt4ever, Ok if you don't belive anyone, here is a picture I took from Battery Park during MF's contruction(I scan the new Wicked Twister one in soon). And to me, thats the same view from Cedar Point.Com

If the photo was taken at from Johnson's Island or the "sandbar" you would get a view of looking straight on to Millennium Force's first drop.

Ok, we'll if I had a scanner, I would scan the picture I had, taken from my boat. looks exactly the same. I'm not trying to make an argument out of this, but I just have my opinion of where it was taken from.

By the way, have you ever been on Johnson's Island, or by that sandbar?

Actually Jeff, you mentioning about that 3rd hill of MF being in the center of the lift hil on the banner. Well I noticed that. Then I looked at Andrew's picture, and then looked at my pictures from shorline park, and I would say the final verdict in my mind is "there is no doubt it's definitly Battery Park." It's amazing what a few feet difference can do to the angle of a picture. I very rarely go to battery park.

Isn't Battery park where they set up the MF construction cam? Wouldn't that lead credence to the idea that they would take a picture from there?

No, they had the webcam on Point.

The picture was taken from Battery Park. For those of us who have been to Battery Park can back me up, hopefully. I've lived in Sandusky my whole life and I have been down there a lot over the years. It WAS taken from Batter Park.

The Web Cam was on point? We're talking about the same one, right? The one that shot pictures from the other side of the lake to watch the lift hill construction?

Yes, it was on the Boathouse. Don't believe it? Check this photo from virtually the same place.
