I don't think anyone knows absolutely for sure but it seemed to be the train gauge was off and slowlying the ride down. Nothing abnormal with the design or anything like that. Just needing adjustments.

Do they normally let the construction works get one of the first rides? I think they WELL deserve it.

Did you right click it and save first?

What timing I had!!!! I drove up, as I parked Bullet was going up and made the first run!!!! It followed with 2 more runs, the third being almost twice as fast over the first main hill!!! I have video and pics of the third run for posting later. They will be testing it remainder of day!! 9n vcar computer pleasse excuse typos and stuff. WOW GREAT News!!! I am amusing that it did not valley:) Can't wait to see pics & video. Do you know by chance what time they normally stop for the day? I might go up there after work if it's still running.

Anyone been out there today?

As far as some mysterious problems...I don't think it's a mystery to the people incharge of the project. I think it's obvious at this point its the track needing adjustments. Nothin abnormal or mysterious. Look how compact it is...I would be more surprised if it didn't need readjustments. Am I correct experts out there?

That is sweet looking! I hope I can get down there this weekend!

Cool! When I was there last weekend they had some merchandise but no t-shirts. Do they have any hats? Is it similar logo/design on the keychains and stuff?

That's GREAT news! How exciting! I might try to squeeze an hour down there this weekend and see if I can watch the testing going on from a distance. I will make sure I do not disturb them if I do go.

Thanks for the update!

I promise I will start studying "coaster lingo" on my spare time so I understand these conversations better

I see. I read his post "tearing down" as reprofiling. Again...I am not expert.

I am definately down with getting together. I think after this last part of construction the ride should be ready after testing. As what I have heard it has barely not made it. Taking the Bank out should add speed to the coaster. What I have read banks actually slow the coaster down. Right?

Awww...makes sense. Does that mean the general public can ride it during the "soft opening" or just workers etc. It's just it hasn't offically been announce, correct.

what does soft opening mean?

I'll second that. By constantly calling and asking about test runs or when the ride is going to open is probably adding extra stress they don't need right now. It'll be ready when it's ready. I agree. Even though I know we are all interested (including me), I think it's only respectful to not bother them. I know they must be frustrated at this point already. I will continue to let the people do their job in peace. Yes I would of loved to call to get updates but I have not nor will I call cause it's only respectful not to.

Oh cool thanks for the information.

What does it look like? Is it a machine or what? Just curious.

So they haven't removed the second train that vallied yet? What is a pull thru?

Which hill did it not clear? Anyone has a picture of the hill by the bay?

Thanks for the updates!

That's all she said? Did she say why?

I just thought about it and did some math....Testing nostop would put 100 hrs the earliest 4 days and a few hours. 3 days is impossible even if it is non-stop. I think it will atlease be testing for 7 days (about 14-15 hrs per day) if not more once they get it to continue. I think it will still be lucky if that happens. I think it will be more like 12 days (8-9 hrs per day).

I think Kemah needs to invest in a transtar camera So we can view the progress 24/7
