DBInternational Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I dont think so. Its too central of a location to put it there. Nobody wants the first thing they see when entering an area of the park to be a smoking area. Especially when it ha a beautiful new canopy above it. If I had to guess its probably some sort of eating area with new tables. 4
UnrealNightmare Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 What? I was talking about the concrete slab behind Sling Shot.
MantisMan Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Maintenance access road. Not sure why everybody thinks there will be people strolling around underneath the ride. 5
myklhicks Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I'm talking about the new concrete just poured. they can easily block off the rest of the road after that.
UnrealNightmare Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 And it's not directly under the ride. Not anywhere near it really. I'd say you're a lot closer to Vortex on the midway then if people were to walk on that path. 2
Gemini XL-200 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 It looks like the roof of the shade structure is about to be installed! http://174.121.245.214/cfki/WindSeeker1/Camera4.jpg?r=1395852490395 Edit: Nevermind, just realized that I was just seeing Ice Cream Zone's roof. Nevermind then haha. Carry on. 2
stinky Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Also: has the arch over the two stone columns been there, or was that added yesterday or this morning?
Gemini XL-200 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 It's been there for at least a few days.^ They're testing now!
WailsLikeABanshee Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 *cries* When I first checked, the train was at the top of the loop that interacts with the lift hill, I went to save it, and then it was gone! *continues crying* Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk

Coasterama Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I can see people walking in the queue line. ~coasterama, who has enough free time to check the forum at school. 2
CharleyTheDinosaur Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I can see people walking in the queue line. They're probably testing it. "Ok we go straight. Check. Then left. Check. Then right. Check. Then left. Check. Then right. Check. Then left. Check..." 13
myklhicks Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I don't see why they'd add the trees and mulch if no one's going back there. 1
HTCO Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Considering it isn't indicated on the park map as a path, I would assume it isn't for anything as of now. One could speculate that it might appear on the map come Haunt time
homestar92 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Considering it isn't indicated on the park map as a path, I would assume it isn't for anything as of now. One could speculate that it might appear on the map come Haunt time Or it could be a maintenance path, as those are also not on the map. 6

One could speculate that it might appear on the map come Haunt time Or it could be a maintenance path, as those are also not on the map. Indeed but most maintenace paths are either straight gravel or asphalt. Why would they spend the extra money to pour that type of concrete? Unless of course it is just gravel and the webcam makes it look like more than such. Not to mention they have landscaped around it. Just speculatin' 3
upstop Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 With the new seating area in front of Delirium and Ice Scream, do you think the exit to Delirium may be directed to the back of the ride to prevent congestion in the area? seems like the area near the dive loop has widened and there is an opening (most likely a maintenance entrance) in the fence at the back of Delirium. 7
Gplez90 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 ^^ Thats a pretty good thought! That area has to serve some other purpose besides a maintenance area. Theres little to no machinery back there, and if it were to connect with the road under AE's entrance that pathway would have to go down a pretty steep hill. Also i agree with myklhicks, whats the point of adding trees back there if no ones going back there? Riders on Banshee sure won't be paying much attention to them. Im thinking this will be a great spot for guests to snap some good pictures.
KI FANATIC 37 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 That does sound good but it also goes back behind Slingshot. Wonder what that part is for?
upstop Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Maybe there is another Reds Grille-type patio in the works. Wouldn't that be cool! And the path could at least meet on the other side of Sling Shot, next to the AE entrance someday if they want to extend it.
Gplez90 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Jason McClure, Matt Ouimet, and company take a spin on Banshee. Looks like they really enjoyed it! I wonder which brand new B&M they enjoy more, Gatekeeper or Banshee? Image can be found on Cedar Point General Manager, Jason McClure's Twitter page. EDIT: Is it me or does it look like they have AMPLE room between their legs and the restrains? 11
stinky Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 They are getting the timing tight! Each time the camera updates, a train is on an earlier part of the track. Running 1 1/2 to 2 minutes between each train?
KI FANATIC 37 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Are those pillars and arch by the entrance of the ride a second sign?
ChainDog Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Maybe the lighting effects will be situated along that path
ChainDog Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 But right now, it looks like the fence at the back of Delirium is open to the path
GamesAndRides Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 That does sound good but it also goes back behind Slingshot. Wonder what that part is for? Maybe people could have a choice, Head out into Action Zone, Or head into Coney Mall.
TheBEASTunchained Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 @KIGMGREG on Twitter : This tweet can be found here. ....So any suggestions KIC? 4
