After looking from above again I think I am off on this one, this must be drainage and the flyers are over to the right, its hard to tell whats what on the ground, but looks like the flyers will go over near wwf old entry point, just based on what they are building and how it looks circular from above, which it has before...

Why on earth do people take pictures on rides it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.If you want to take photos ride sky tower

Anyone else think the bluegrass music being played all around crossroads in a "hint" at whats to come next year :lol: Byrd Farm....

Another thing that had crossed my mind was could Byrd Farm be what Cornstalkers "farm" was, but it turns out it was called Cormack Farms, so that wasn't it. Anyone know where the Byrd Farms is from? Is this at another Cedar Fair park too? :?:

Had to be an employee. That's looks like an early morning shot and you can clearly see no one is in the park. The water park gate is not even open yet or the park just opened and only a few people there.

This may be far fetched but we all know that Cedar Fair is putting teasers all around of the parks (ex. Canada's Wonderland teasers at Cedar Point or the Son of Beast teaser we got at Carowinds). I wonder if Byrd is referencing the new dive coaster in Canada's Wonderland that is rumored to be themed after the Ziz (a griffin-like bird from Jewish mythology). What do y'all think?

from the shadows, and with the sun setting in the West (i.e. the right side of the pic), it means the pic was taken about sunset, right as water park was closing. So probably NOT an employee who took the photo.

Yea I have saw some of the teasers and things linking all the parks, havent really followed it very close though. has granny always been "granny byrd"? I dont remember her being referred to as that before, but could be way wrong. It may just be a brand new thing they came up with for us, I really hope so. I do believe the whole entire area will be themed like a farm. It could be about the dive coaster, namely ZIZ, I doubt it will be named this though. Hard to say. That would be hilarious if their dive was copperhead strike :lol: :lol: I know this is not likely, but it would be funny.

1) could be referencing one of the inversion elements?
2) could we be back to this being a spinner?
3) longshot: could the flyers be incorporated as part of theming (they are the mixing bowl or something visually)?

I hope the ride is not a spinner but the ride could break more records.
