Boardwalk Bullet on Friday. Whoo-Hoo !!!!!!! Now we're talkin'.

I rode this past Friday right after work. I just had to check it out. I tell you... it was the first time after riding the back seat that I walked out of the que station TREMBLING. Before it was so slow you could re-group yourself by the end of the ride. Now you can't. I rode the famous 61 sec ride. Awesome first drop and whole lot of ejector. Hard right bank turn soooooo smooth. The bay turn a blur and slam/cruise into the Water tower hill and makes the 2nd big drop totally different. WHOO-HOO! I love racing into the station at the end. When it stops the whole station SWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS ! Now I understand what The Bullet logo is all about .. LOL Oh... no neck pain no nothin'... ENJOY

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Now that's what I want to see... Bullet hauling over that 2 big drop! Today our job might let out at 3:00p. Maybe I can come down and check out the buzz and who knows catch a ride they way it was designed to do Anyone else going down there this afternoon?

Poor Bullet. So it sounds like the issues with the design is a permanent feature. I hope I can get to ride before its down again.

Does anyone know if Memorial day weekend at Kemah is overcrowded? Will there be long wait lines on the Bullet?

Today I found out the Bullet first drop is 55.5 degrees from Chad at TGG. It will not be made steeper.

Why does it close for maintenance around the times that they need it to be open the most? Could they have fixed it right the first time or is it a month by month situation?

I hope its to correct and achieve max speed down the first drop and who knows maybe make it a few degrees steeper ???

Enjoyed the encouraging report. I still don't know what a rain ride feels like. Maybe one day.

Gorgeous day to ride eh?

We love the Bullet because its the only thing we have right now. And I feel its worth the $4.75 in my opinion.

Is there any substance sold that can be "painted" on without coming out in the wash to help it stay consistently 60 secs?

Hey TeX... Ride 1L and 8L for me : )

Bullet 1.0 before could dislodge all the intestinal plaque from Orson Well's guts ... LOL How's it operating today in the mysterious 80 degree weather? Anyone get on today?

GG: "On another note, the Bullet has been running a solid 65 seconds all day today, which is faster that it has ever run solidly before. This is a good thing. Perhaps we'll loose a few more second in the coming weeks when things break in." Won't it be great! Soon we will ride under 60 secs or less.

Its been a long time since we had fun to ride a rollercoaster in our area. And its easy to access because you dont have to pay themepark prices to ride it. We're just so happy!

Anybody ride today? Tell us how was it.

I've posted earlier that it is running the same speed as before, 66-70 seconds from end of lift to mag brakes. -GG I'm sorry I meant mph. At what point during the ride? You mean max M.P.H. during the first drop? I don't think anyone has tried to clock that lately. I believe we calculated the average speed of the entire ride from end of lift hill to brakes to be about 27MPH. -GG That part into the bay turn. It seems to haul faster there like 50-ish?

I wonder has anyone clocked its speed since spots were retracked?

It seems to lose it steam up the 3rd hill for some reason. Maybe section of incline to steep?? or its turnaround too tight?

Ok, I just tried two different machines and three different browsers and it just says connecting for awhile then says "ready". As long as its working for others. -GG How much it cost you? (wrist camara).

The video is not working for me, it worked for you? I might have to try to re-upload it and check which codec I used. -GG Yeah worked great clarity and definition.

Neat. I like a mean first drop that pins you to the lap bar and slams your bottom to the cushion. I wished the first drop could be 12-15 ft. more.

Yeah, I wear prescrips and I was still teary- eyed.
