Going to be out at the park tomorrow morning. Getting my pass processed then hopefully getting a few rides in on twisted colossus.

I for one really really hope we see some topper track on ghost rider in the near future. Even if the park deciced to go with a full iron horse, it would easily be right up there with twisted colossus for top ride on the west coast.

Planning on going to the park Sunday. Hopefully crowds wont be like they are today.

A friend of mines there and got on one of the first trains of the morning and got a duel on both laps. So yes running 3 trains and dueling (at least earlier)

Pretty sure the one they were using was one from Free fly systems. I know for sure they were using one of their gimbals. Im kinda a drone nut so i found it extremely hard during the shoots not to stare at the drone. Also you have to factor more in than just the cost of the drone. By the time u add fpv, flight controller, gimbal, and battery a 4,000 dollar price tag for the frame can almost double

Those "talent" people were extremely annoying. They acted like they were above the rules and when I was in the trailer during some of the downtime they were all sitting there complaining and talking about how they wanted their overtime if they went too long there. Another one was borrowing everyone else's phones to call his talent agency to get more jobs. I saw the guy who took the "pov" video editing it in the trailer and it was nothing more than a shaky unviewable mess that mainly had the camera looking at the seat in front of him.

Interesting that u overheard that. Thinking back at the day now I think that might partially explain why sometimes they were having a hard time dispatching the second train while the first was running. The operator kept saying he was getting an error. System might have been running into issues timing the 2 trains rather than the 3 it is designed to run optimially at. Honestly I can see the dueling getting FAR better and more likely to occur if they iron out ride program and maybe varry the lift speeds a little more to even it out. Hopefully with Alan there tommorow maybe he can help them even out the ride program

Haha i kept messing with them telling them how much i wanted their job. Seems like a really good company to be apart of especially with what they are doing

Tommorow probably. Its media day

Just left the filming early unfortuantly because my girlfriend was sick and wanted to go home. The ride is AMAZING. Like chickenbowl said ive been anticipating this ride for years and its simply amazing to have a RMC creation so close. The airtime is endless and there are so many low headchoppers it feels like ur hands are litterally going to touch it. This is definitly the new #1 coaster for me (havent done an east coast coastee trip), and will easily be a #1 on the west coast for just about everyone. When it comes to dueling tho thats when things i think will ultimately lie with how much the park wante it to duel. Getting the timing right was pretty good today but there were times where it was definilty off. When the timing was perfect it was amazing, but it seemed like anything could throw it off. If the green lift would slow down more i think the chances of this thing dueling consitantly would be higher. Overall tho this is going to be a monster hit for the park

So excited for tommorow after reading some of the early reviews. Really looks like this will be the new #1 coaster on the west coast. If anyone else is going tommorow look for the guy and girl wearing tie dye shirts and say hi.

Interesting that they still looking for 50 for tuesday. I wonder how many trains they going to be running. Me and my girlfriend are all ready confirmed for tuesday if anyone else is going.

My friend hasn't posted the video yet but heres one i found from the same instagram profile robb posted earlier: https://instagram.com/p/2XT5YlgyA-/

Have they started racing trains yet? A friend of mine was at the park today and he told me they were racing them today. He got a video he'a gonna upload later.

Im suprised at the overall speed throughout the course. For some reason I was expecting it to be going alot slower through the top gun stall then it is. No matter tho this thing looks insane and can't wait to ride it.

Is this an alternate universe or another six flags park? I can't believe their testing and its not even May yet.

Magic mountain really doesnt have an excuse on getting it running again, there is no reason why intamin would stop supporting their product and couldnt repair the elevators and bring them up to code. If anyone they would be the most qualified in my imagination to fix the elevators

Looks like they are completet trimming down that second turnaround, didnt think it was going to get that big of a trim

Ive been in the park before when there couldnt have been more than 300 people in the park. Sat on xcelerator for 3 hours and didnt have to get off or move once.

I got a car

Ill be out in vegas next week, hoping to finally get to the adventuredome, haven't gotten down there in my last few trips to ride el loco. Any tips to get to adventuredome and avoid that disgusting casino it is built in back of as much as possible?

I dont think so, kinda of how people thought there was going to be 2 loading stations for the longest time when looking at the video+press release easily answered that question

Thank God they didn't put that creepy clown on the front like they had in the survey

X2 has a tendency to valley if the wind is blowing so thats why they probably not running it

This is how I think it will work: The train that is finishing its first lap will hit the lift hill, if train 2 hasn't left the station yet or is too far behind, train one will continue through the course without dueling. It will mess up the dueling aspect of the ride for a few cycles but eventually as long as the crew gets their act back together (who knows might ruin dueling for the entire day because it's six flags after all)
