Congrats .... your country has a Winner . Really really nice pics. -
"Fly-bys" near entrances will be hazardous since something can be thrown at the coaster traveling 55 mph. I'm sure if it has any locations like that it will be protected by some sort of screen that will still let people see the coaster speed by. I'm looking for a grand opening day late summer/early fall.

I spoke with Chad Miller (The Gravity Group) yesterday. He was mentioning how their website will have an update on Bullet in the near future. Says that Kemah Boardwalk is tight-lipped about any progress or announcements to keep building up anticipation for its debute. Still no word yet on grand opening day. Glass half-full ??

Troy makes Boardwalk Bullet look very boring This really is a beautiful coaster. Congratulations to all the people that are living there definitley. -
Make sure you have the latest version of Flash. Correct. But I did right click and PLAY and it took me to the map, and it worked. The virtual ride was a lot of fun. I cant say that the first drop was intense, but its turn around design at the top gives an excellent rush leading up to it. Seems to be generous for airtime. I like the first covered tunnel on the "s" curve after the first drop. I wonder if they will follow through with that.

Photos are great shots ! -
Doesn't part of the track pass underneath the station? I need a second look at the models. I wish all the models could be in one place just one click away... : ( You can sort of see it in the link BiCoastal Kid provided on the previous page. youre right. its the cue line, then a fly thru under the station, then a 2nd flyby right after the first drop, then a flyby crossover on the outside edge

Troy really looking good. Exceptional layout and lots of space to race across. It is totally opposite of the current construction of the Boardwalk Bullet in Kemah Bay, TX . -
Maybe you will, but then again you didn't grow up with it. You didn't have the memories, and I sure bet it wasn't your first coaster. Amen jmccalip... I don't think they were old or tall enough to ride Texas Cyclone in the glory days with its original trains and before track modification. William Cobb made Houston proud and will always be #1 in my books. As for Bullet... gee can't wait.
