^ Wes! that Inferiority complex that you talk about. It may explain some strange things that were going on up there near the end of the season, thanks for pointing that out to me. It is all starting to make sense now..

I didn't see much pavement in the webcam shots from the turnaround... Maybe it was covered by dirt from the footer holes, but it looked like it was all dirt down there.

If my memory serves me right, the park never did say what they were gonna do under the coaster. It was an idea on this board when the question arosed if they were gonna leave grass or the parkinglot when construction started and it was holes in the asphalt instead of full fledge tearing it up. Here is the initial post...

This has been touched on a little in the main thread but I thought I would create a poll to get a feel for which is more popular. After listening to some of the interviews, it appears that Cedar Fair hasn't made up their minds whether to tear up the parking lot and plant grass or leave the asphalt and theme it to a race track.
Which would you prefer to see?


with construction being over and done we now know the asphalt was indeed ripped (from the silver screen 8) ) up and it seems quite natural to just plant grass or some type or greenery...
