Awesome photos...CP in hibernation mode....

It's really eerie seeing a park so empty and dismantled....having an off season tour is great...I'd LOVE it!

This fulfills all of my nerdy Cedar Point dreams to no end :airtime:

The weird things from Corkscrew that you weren't sure of are parts for the brakes.

This really gives you an appreciation of just how much work goes into an offseason for these rides...imagine just how much time it took to dismantle those trains, let alone the fact that you had more than half of the coasters represented there... very cool pictures! Thanks for sharing them.

Well said.

It has to be a HUGE undertaking to dismantle all of the rides, inspect them, and then rebuild the ride in just 6 months.
