i have no idea what your talking about, but it isn't a ball coaster........ well.... idk... Judging by the currently public designs, no, it isn't

TRACK IS NOW STANDING!!!!

Check out Cedar Points Web cam. Center - Right!

yay, a turn...[:P]

I think this is going to be that freefall tower thing from RCT3 where the tower rotates and lets go of riders. Ofcourse, that is just my own two cents. If you think about it, its a new concept and it fits what Cedar Point has been getting us all hyped up about. Stengel already made a patent for it. Let me look around for a sec.

Edit-there ya go:

wow, interesting, a vertical reversing mid-course switch rail

Hm...very cool find. I could actually see CP building this.

If you want to see this project right now, go to the cedar point website, then go to webcams. They have a new one with Project 2007 in it. By the way remember that weird peice if track with the bar supported by boles at the bottom of it, after examining Kingda Ka, It is a peice that hold Break fins. I will look for a pic.

EDIT: I thing ADENA is going to build one of the following:
1. The Station
2. The Transfer track storage shed
3. The Hydrolic building

Just some thoughts

EDIT2:
Got a pic. just look at the to left where the green train is on the break run. Right there.

TRACK HAS BEEN ERECTED. Look in the back neer the trees. It is on the righ by the lake. ENJOY!

well from looking at the supports its doesnt look like it will be to tall

ya, i think this is low to ground, really twisty coaster...with inversions

maybe, but that could also just be the first segment of the the support in some places

i watching the webcam but i don't see mutch activati at the site

It begins....

Looks like more track!

Until the end of August

^dork, it's augustus, but in english August

Damn...that transition looks pretty tight, actually looks sorta painful if its going to be taken at high speeds

They're gonna wait until the last minute. CP loves the buzz they generate and the publicity. With so many web sites and blogs tracking the building of this ride, they have to be thrilled.

I am guessing a rita / storm runner type ride - as in layout

Just look here:

That transition is insane.

That transition is too intense for a long train. Start thinking about a shorter train. Possibly a ball coaster. It's got to be something inovative because the site itself is simply not big enough for a height/speed record breaker.
