I believe the layout shows a zero g then an oversize cork. Regardless, I recall someone saying it's a mockup of their take on a potential layout in NoLimits (on another forum, TPR maybe). When we see something from Cedar Fair it will be Keith McVeen's polished work.

Not too much news, but Cedar Point has said that they will reveal the 2013 plans on August 13th at 3:30pm (EST).

Looks like this will be happening with the entrance pillars:

And on the roll behind the pillars there will be near misses with the pillars. So I say well done.

This is just a real beauty! One small thing that I have to say about the ride, though, is that the end seems anticlimactic, but hopefully that's just me. This thing still looks awesome though.

HA, I DON'T HAVE A SIG - wait, what?

Yea the MCBR is kinda close to the end but it's pretty much for blocking purposes the get three trains going otherwise there would probably be something else there.

They took out Space Spiral today in a very explosive conclusion for the ride.

^ wow, can't believe they used explosives to get rid of it. Sort of a scary chill went up my spine watching that thing fall over.

holy crap! I've never really seen them do anything like that! Pretty neat none the less.
^^Lol. It did kinda look like that at first!
EDIT: If you look at the second view, right before it hits the ground the car shoots to the top!

There hasn't been an update in a while on here...

Track work should be finished this week. And they released pics of a train today!

I like how the train lights up like that. Should be a pretty awesome sight at nighttime.

It looks really cool and that color scheme is good for the park, but I just gotta say those keyholes are huge. They are much bigger than I was expecting and much less frightening than they could be.

I was thinking the same thing... But with heads and feet in the picture it may be closer than we think. I've seen it in person just in a distance. A few friends that are there now say that it's closer than it looks... But we'll find out in May!

I suppose that's true. It's also a difference when you're going speedily through them on a Wing Coaster train.

So I'm hoping I'll get to test ride during training week cause I know we'll be constantly cycling. I'll let you know, but this will be the only wing coaster I've ever been on so I can't compare
