I looked there already. It was a black and white picture.

It doesn't look black and white to me. In fact, is there even a black and white picture on this site, beside the history section.

The picture I'm looking for is a black and white picture taken from a distance. I just can't remember where I got it.

I think I know what you're talking about. I believe it was a PR construction photo.

I still remember seeing that photo for the first time during the off-season of Raptor's construction. It was kind of mind-blowing to see how much that part of the park had changed.

^And even now.. It's crazy to think that Raptor was there before even Mantis and Power Tower. The park looks so "low" haha.

Not to mention the Giant Wheel on the "wrong side of the park.

That's not quite the one but it's extremely cool.

That's not quite the one but it's extremely cool. It was a more distant picure I believe.

I liked Big Wheel in that location better than where it is at now. But, we would not have Millie if it hadn't been moved. Also, Big Wheel's light package back then wasn't as ghetto as it is now.

Yeah... what is up with that? I wish the Big Wheel would get some of those cool LED lights like Windseeker.

I like the location GIANT wheel is in now. It gives a cool view of the entire park and Lake Erie better than it's original location IMO. The lighting package is pretty sad on it.

I hope it gets LED lights too. It's crazy going from Windseeker to Giant Wheel because of the dull lighting. It's like driving down the road during Christmas time...the house on the right has a small selection of big bulb lights, while a couple more doors down on the left is a house with LED lights on the outline of the house, shrubs, trees, etc.

I guess that was kind of a bad comparison since I miss seeing those old fashioned big bulbs during Christmas, but you get my point.

I guess I would be happy if they just got the current lights on the Giant Wheel working correctly. Pretty sad that they have not worked correctly in years.
