Came across the same article that is getting press around the country including FL talking about CP's new coaster. Here is the link to the FL site. I have a couple more links from PA, OH and MO but its the same article.

From the November 14th article related to the same link:
"Cedar Point will announce its new ride within the next few weeks, according to a conference call to investors by Richard Kinzel, who is the chief executive officer of the park's parent company, Cedar Fair. "
Let's see... November 14th + December 18th = around 5 weeks... and still no official announcement. Man, the suspense is still killing me. Not for what it's going to be like, what it's going to do or all that... but just the official name, the theme, and how it's going to be publicised (sp)!!

It's not really an xmas tree but just a tree of some sort, and it usually goes on the tallest part of the structure, not neccesarily the last piece. It's a superstition relating the strength of the structure to the tree. Like "As long as the tree stands, the building will stand" or something.

Looks like NBC has copied that article and put it on all of thier affiliate sites.
Those aren't NBC affiliates. The station that generated the original is in Cleveland, an ABC affiliate. My guess is that they're all owned by Scripps Howard.

I agree Jeff. Our local ABC affiliate, WXYZ, did a piece that seemed very similar. When I used to work there, they said it was the "backbone" of Scripps Howard.
If only, Billy Bonds would come back ;)

Just to scramble things up more, NBC4 Columbus is network O&O. But, if one NBC (or other net/company affiliate) picks up a story, usually the other affiliates get it too - it's up to the news director what to do with it.
Isn't technology grand? :)
