We have been speculating about an S&S Power Attraction coming to Cedar Point for the past several months.  The Point Online now has confirmed that an S&S Power attraction will be built for the 2006 season.  This is proven in these photo:

Small shipments have arrived from Logan, Utah, the home of S&S Power, containing some extremely large nuts, bolts, and screws for the new attraction.  These shipments have been placed right next to the infamous blue tarp, which conceals the top of attraction.  Also in the area is a lot of wood and rebar.  The Point Online strongly believes the new attraction will be a S&S Screaming Swing.

Over the week a little bit more wood has arrived.  I personally believe the wood will be in some way related to the construction of the Swing, most likely to add a slight theme to the ride so it blends in the area better.  The wood may be used for the station.  However, it also could be used on the Mine Ride, as the exit ramp will most likely need to be diverted to accommodate the new ride.

The Screaming Swing most likely will be placed in between the Mine Ride and Snake River Falls.  If you are having trouble imagining that location, just think that the ride will be exactly where the lockers are.  The lockers then will be moved to a near by location.

Last week I reported that a large shipment would arrive, and I guess I was wrong.  I did however hear that the shipment did arrive and Cedar Point is trying to hide it.  The new pieces I have been told arrived on flat beds and were placed inside of the warehouse next to Breakers Express.  I drove back behind Breakers Express hoping to find something, and there really was nothing there.  However, there was what seems to be part of a semi-truck sitting there.  I’m not sure how long it has been there, but it is there.  You decide on why it is there.

Next week, unfortunately, is Closing Weekend.  That means I not only will have a full report of what new parts are arriving, but also of what will be done over the winter and what will be changing.  The Point Online is also preparing for tons of new articles on a variety of features brought to us by our Editorial Editor.  We also will be going to Sandusky during the winter and seeing what really happens when the park is closed.  Is Route 250 really dead in the winter?  Do people actually go to the indoor water parks?  The Point Online will be bringing you pages of information on everything Cedar Point.  Remember, Cedar Point may close during the winter, but The Point Online is open 365.
