I am very curious how this will rate against other woodies. I know it won't be a number #1 since it isn't super tall or anything. I guess time will only tell. I think it will be cool to hear others view on the ride.

What kindof mechanical problems? Lapbars wouldn't lock or something?

I do hope kemah does get more rides & expand in the coming years. THe space is a problem and they would need to be even more creative if they can't get more land. What a great way to make a statement with this ride!

Yeah this coaster is awesome and so different from any other woodie that I have ridden. I think the fact that it is so compact is the reason why you feel the speed. Why do you guys think that lady who lives in the house next to it is saying bad things but then showing and acting another way when ya'll were riding with her etc? That just doesn't make sense. Is she wanting the media attention or do you think Chronicle is just twisting her words? Or is she just wanting more money? It would suck to live by the coaster year round. But what I have heard (if I am correct) is that they just bought the house knowing kemah was expanding and aren't living in the house year round. Any thoughts? Please correct me if I have my facts wrong.

Plus that ride is wicked. It would imagine it would be near impossible to actually get good footage without molding it.

Aw I really wish I could go out there again. But I was on YouTube and found a POV at night on it. It's not the best quality though. http://youtube.com/watch?v=-BSvYDFaMNM

Honestly...the ride was so fast pace I couldn't really sperate all the elements. It's really really hard to firgure what part you are on. It's so wicked! You are twisting and turning so often and so fast it's hard to realize what just took place. The people that have ridden it alot already can probably tell you what elements feel like what. How ever I only rode it three times...I couldn't try to tell you. Awesome ride!

Yeah...I think I saw you but I wasn't sure if it was you. I am kindof a shy person and didn't want to go up to you if it wasn't you! lol! I am sure you saw me. I was out there with my whole family with the stroller and all. We got there a few minutes before they let everyone get in line.

I firgured it might require a special camera. What kind of cameras do they normally use to do that kind of video anyways? Anyone know?

I REALLY want to go out there today but I have to put my school work first. I really hope to get down there again this weekend sometime before tuesday. Can't wait to see the video! Is kemah going to let ya'll take an on ride video? That would be AWESOME!!!

Yeah same here Jason...we weren't thinking about it. More concern with riding! We did get a pic of the entrance (that you already have several of). I am kicking myself for not taking photos now. Oh well...guess it's a good excuse to go back:)

My thoughts... It was great meeting all you! The bullet...needs its own catagory under woodie. It was not a typical woodie that I have ridden (I have only ridden texas cyclone & rattler though). It was crazy fast. The polgerist on wood would be the best way I could explain it. I don't think the texas cyclone and the bullet can be compared after riding it. Two totally different rides. It was a good ride. I wasn't expecting it to be so wickedly fast. I liked the back but it was definately more jerky back there. The front was alot smoother and a different ride. Your going so fast in so many different directions its unreal that a woodie could do this. I give it props. So different it takes a while to try to firgure out what the heck you just rode. It's mind blogging. That is the best I can discribe it. I hope to go back soon! I probably won't be making as many trips as some of you since I am a struggling college student.

I am sure I will see you all down there...it has now turned into a family event...I think my little neice might come also. Needsless to say I will probably be down there closer to 4 once we get everyone together!

Whoo hoo! The office is closing here at work at 2! What time is everyone planning to go down there? just curious when I should head down there...

Yeah...I am surprise there has not been a news article on it online yet.

I was amazed too! I hadn't been to kemah in a while. I knew they had expanded the amusement but I was shocked how busy it was. I remember the amusement part use to be pretty much dead before compare to now.

Well I am thinking most people probably won't get there till after school lets out now that school has started. I am hoping to get there before then...I am hoping I am out of here by 2pm.

Thanks for the information! I have never really gotten to ride one of those coasters yet. Floater air is when you lift out of your seat and hover for a bit. It usually comes at the top of a camelback hill or long speed bump. Shivering Timbers, Superman SFNE, Titan's speed hill, Expedition GeForce all have this kind of air. Voyage has TONS of it. Ejector air is a quick pop where the rider is launched quickly into the lapbar, then back down into the seat. Using your TxCyclone reference, think about the drop off the "post turn", that turn directly below the big turn after the first drop. Excalibur's drop had some nice ejector air in the back seat. As for whether Bullet has more or less air than TxCyclone, I'll know later today. Honestly, other than the back seat, I never got much air on the TxCyclone. It was more about wicked drops and the delicious contrast between the quick hills and the slow turns. I think a better comparison coaster for Bullet is the TxGiant. YES, the Giant is much, much larger, but it seems a bit more fair to compare that twisted layout to Bullet's than it does to compare TxCyclone's layout. TxCyclone was drop, slow flat turn, drop drop slow flat turn, etc. Giant and Bullet are both full of wild, undulating, curving and twisting track, taken at breakneck speeds. I sorta expect Bullet to be an extended version of Giant's "flying carpet" finale. I'll know more after tonight.

As of today? Or there will be commercials on tv? Why is everyone so worried about how Kemah is advertising this ride? The fewer people that know about it, the shorter the lines! BTW...there are commercials on TV saying it is open.

Yeah...I was trying to check the sign on I-45 on the way to downtown this morning....but it was kindof hard since it faces traffic going south. Needless to say I did not see it in my reeview mirror to see if it says open yet. I am hoping we get out early from work today(we normaly do before holidays). I am so excited! I will definately see you guys there tonight or possibly late afternoon!

So what do you think this will rate again other woodies?

I think he just knows people and got to ride as a test dummie:)

...website is NOW reflecting new pricing & listing bullet as a ride on the main website. Hints and rumors are everywhere....get ready! I would be more surprised if it doesn't open this weekend...keep your schedules open.
