CP's Beating A Dead Horse

The latest pic on the CP site's blog shows a horse in the back of a pick-up, which is following a cement mixer. Anything to say about this? Is something else going on besides WWL?

Is there a change to Maverick? Is there an adjustment that will allow for the reinstallation of the missing heartline roll? Are they getting a Pony Express clone or are they too marquee for clones?

I think this might be looking into something too much. It's probably just something to do with the new ride.
The picture wasn't taken near Maverick, so I don't think it's anything to do with that.

Probably the same minds that came up with the "clues" for Intimidator.

Just like to yank our chains and get people talking.

It means absolutely nothing. The horse is from Seville (the old town/buildings that will reside next to STR) and is probably going to maintenance to get a makeover. As for "beating a dead (plastic) horse", like Wes said, is T&T loving their game playing.

That can be done easily. If you took a look at Maverick's original barrel roll, the "roll" itself did not start until a quarter of the way through the roll... only half of the space that was available for the roll was actually used.

Maverick (Cedar Point)

If you see what I mean, the barrel roll did most of the twisting in the middle. If they kept the rate of the twist uniform, they could have kept the barrel roll. Hopefully, they may be doing that.

It's just a fun picture of them moving scenery from Paddlewheel Excursions. They're not playing games. They're just point out that, no, you don't see that every day.
