No official announcement has been made for Cedar Point's 2002 attraction, but construction has begun. The back portion of the former aquarium building has been razed while giant footers have been poured on the beach behind Giant Wheel. A few photos have been posted on Guide to The Point.

The footers are arranged in a line parallel to the midway and perpendicular to it. Marker #13 seems to be the end of the large footer, and it is worth noting that while none of the footers appears to be very deep, the big footer at the end (#11, 12) is clearly constructed to have more concrete on top of it, and my guess is that the top of the footer will eventually be at the same height as the existing midway...probably three feet higher than it is right now. Also, there is foam insulation attached to the side of the midway next to the footer, indicating that they are planning to pour concrete right up to the side of the existing wall.
