12/1 Update   

The construction continues 

      Experience the Point had the chance to check out the progress on Cedar Point's new-for-2003 thrill ride. Below is the main points (We regret that no photos can be posted - we shoot several photos but they were ruined in the development process):

  • Tower's height: The tower now stands well over 300 feet, and taller than any other structure at Cedar Point. Our best guess for height is around 350 feet.

  • Construction was really picking up near the Power Tower end of the site, as numerous new (since closing day) footers have appeared.

  • The staging yard (Soak City parking lot) for the new ride is virtually empty except for some construction equipment.

  • Parts of the launch track have been installed

  • The colors of the new ride seem to work with each other quite well.

  • The new ride truly looms over the whole park and the twist on the "down side" of the tower looks incredible.

  • Schwabinchen now sits, in pieces, in the main parking lot near Demon Drop, though the lady was no where to be found... 

  • Wildcat received a paint job. Now the colors are fluorescent green (structure) and purple track. The colors make the ride look "wild"... Word is that Mantis will be repainted.

Again, we regret that no photos could be posted, but this is just the second of many off-season updates.
