^ Then we must have another email in our database that is pointing to your current one. If you have removed your email address, there is NO WAY that email address is still active. Something else must have happened. Either you have re-registered for something, someone else has added your email address in our "subscribe to our newsletters here" box or something else. Also, we only send out emails when we have something to say or announce. Sometimes that happens frequently, sometimes it's weeks between each email. If you don't want the emails, fine, but if we happen to announce an event or ERT session at a park near you or have something exclusive only to people on our mailing list and you've missed out because you're not on the mailing list please don't be upset! --Robb

^ I know it's been covered here already before, but there are a lot of other crews also working on the ride - guys doing theming, queue areas, onride photos, lockers, landscaping, etc, etc, and they really can't run the ride where there is all kinds of people all over the field. When those crews leave, they are able to do testing. --Robb

I'm told they cannot start testing until 6pm. --Robb

I thought the same thing! Carrabba's....mmm....lucky! --Robb

Video on YouTube has sufaced that shows the creature: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdJgwtwGHng&feature=channel_page Actually looks impressive!

Welcome Emma!

Guys. This is the Terminator thread, not the earthquake thread. --Robb

^ FYI - We didn't even feel it here in Valencia. --Robb

^ It's on Thursday.

^ That is correct.

X2 is 45 seconds from the drop off the lift to the break run. I think Terminator will be about the same. --Robb

^ The first drop reminds me a LOT of Kentucky Rumbler. --Robb

Oh! Those tunnels aren't done yet. I was told they were waiting until testing to fully enclose them and it should be done in the next day or two. --Robb

^ Quasi tunnels?

^ Most GCI's with two trains are listed at 850 people per hour. So is it 1/12 of 850 times 2 is the difference between the 12 car train and the 11 car train? --Robb

I really wish I knew what was causing it to stream slowing on some computers, and ones that have a high speed internet access. I have to assume it has to do something with that persons setup because I know it's not the TPR server. I just wish I knew what it could be so I can start to point people in the right direction. Any of you tech-savvy browser people, any ideas? --Robb

There was an edit in the video. You have to remember though that ride time is station to station. So you have to factor in the lift hill, stopping on the brake run, and pulling into the station makes up that 3 minute time. --Robb

^ Hmm...it loaded in about 90 seconds for me. Can everyone please post how long it takes for the video to load? --Robb

Don't go on a Saturday. Do Ghostrider first (the line gets TERRIBLE) and then hit up Silver Bullet, then Xcelerator and then everything else. Honestly it doesn't really matter if you hit Bullet before Xcel, it's just on the way, and it seems to get the 2nd longest line in the park. As long as Xcel is running two trains you probably won't ever see THAT long of a line for it. I think people still just can't find the entrance! But hit GR first. You'll be pissed if you have to stand in line 45 minutes for such a craptacular coaster. --Robb

I've also just posted the HD version of the video to CoasterTube as our first HD test. Please let me know how you all think it compares to the original one I uploaded! [coastertube]http://www.themeparkreview.com/coastertube/play.php?vid=terminator_testing_qb9l[/coastertube] Enjoy! --Robb

I have just uploaded our first HD resolution video since the H.264 compression got added to CoasterTube. Please let me know what you think. (This version is different from the one posted in the Terminator thread, BTW, just in case this didn't work!) Enjoy CoasterTube in HD!

^ I can accept that. Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine when someone makes a hard opinion on something they've never ridden. Had you said for example, "Based on all the photos and videos I've seen, it looks to me like Prower has the edge over Terminator, but I'll report more when I've been on both..." Would have sounded a bit better. I know everyone has their own opinions and that's fine, but I do think sometimes people should conisder their "delivery" or "presentation" on their opinions and how others will react to them. Honestly, I'm just trying to make yours (and other peoples) posts sound a bit better and be more well received. --Robb

Yes, because you can absolutely make that decision based on an at-dusk filmed video taken from one side of the ride.
