Dang it, now I'm wishing you had the option to remove your votes like you can on YouTube.

Just drove by fenced in area!! A crane has appeared to accept track pieces as they arrive!! How do you post pics on here?

Upload them to imgur, then to post pics, click the picture button in the toolbar and paste the url in there.

Is it healthy to feel like a kid on Christmas morning when pictures of trucks loaded with coaster track, and now a crane shows up close to one of your favorite amusement parks?

I think it was posted by another user, but these should be the steps that were previously posted to assist me.

Step 1: Download the picture to your computer. (Right-Click, Save-As)
Step 2: Upload it to Imgur... There's other services, but Imgur is the most popular and reliable.http://imgur.com/
Step 3: Once it uploads you'll see a page like this: http://imgur.com/gMBYrwl
Step 4: Click on the picture you just uploaded. That will take you here: http://i.imgur.com/gMBYrwl.jpg
Step 5: On PointBuzz, click the picture icon in the reply box. It's the square with the mountains and sun.
Step 6: Paste the Imgur url (in this case http://i.imgur.com/gMBYrwl.jpg) into the box that pops up. The URL should end in something like .jpg, .png, or .gif.
Step 7: HIt OK.

"pics or it didn't happen"

I once made out with Taylor Swift at the top of Millennium Force. Unfortunately, her bodyguards confiscated my phone before the ride....darn it! No proof!

I didn't take a pic because it was fairly dark, but I drove past their an hour or so again and I did see what appeared to be a crane next to Breakers Express. Also noticed the fencing had the name and number of a rental company so I'd assume the fencing is temporary... although of course it is. Not like they were gonna put a bio hazard dump there.

Well, with the recent thgs that have happen and now the delayed annoucement, I guess the sighting of a crane in the area might " lift up " our spirit and excitement again. Would they bring the track w out the annoucement though ? Has a new date yet been set for the new annoucement ? At least, if it is so, we will have a sure fire clue as to what is what, or maybe not ?

Maverick's track was staged a long time before the announcement.

Maverick was being assembled before the announcement. Not just footers, but supports and track.

Thanks on the reminder abt Maverick track. Well, then I guess we will soon have answers on part of what will come all clear. Hum, could that mean a clue that in the announcement date poster I call , the waters will calm, and the stormy skies and lightning will go away , to a beautiful day ? I know im reaching here but, hey its a thought.

Can also confirm the presence of a crane and one other piece of heavy equipment in the fenced in area. With the original announcement scheduled for today (8/18) I wouldn't be surprised if the first shipment of track arrives the 19th or 20th.

Dragster was basically finished when they made the announcement. Wonder if they'll do the same here

Considering that the ride was already suppose to be announced, I doubt that it'll carry on that far.

Halloweekends- Harvest Fear, Tombstone Terror-Tory
Ride Operations- Professor Delbert’s Frontier Fling

With Dragster, the sheer height/size was part of the mystery, fueling the speculations. That was a marketing strategy to prolong the hype.

With Valravn (unconfirmed even if only just), the details are likely already out there. That and they had planned an announcement for the evening before delivery of the first track. I don't see them waiting too long for the rescheduled announcement; just enough for a respectful grieving period.

The (rescheduled) announcement date has nothing to do with the ride's construction schedule. The new announcement date will probably happen when CP decides that it's the "right time," considering the incident.

They will wait until they are sure to get good press on the announcement without someone mixing in the fence jumper with the new ride info. I doubt "grieving period" has much to do with this, Raptor was up and running the next day (as it should be).
