Rev's lift idles when there's no train present. The station chain has its own motor but its speed matches the idle of the lift and once the train is on the lift, then the lift motor speeds up.

Angel-Fire was hosting it and the site is best when viewed with Netscape via a 56K modem connection.
Wow, that was a time warp!!
And I now realize how much I just dated myself....

Holy crap, a Proboards site?!
They still exist??? I had one of those like 10 years ago. I linked it to my Freewebs site, so bad-ass.

Funny thing about this is the company that makes these fans is called Big Ass Fans.

For one thing, Thunderhead is just atrocious anymore. The park seriously needs to dump some money to get it fully re-tracked. Not just sectional track work. It is nearly as bad or worse than the Son of Beast rides I had prior to all the modifications. It's downright brutal, and I have high tolerance for tougher wood coasters.
Pretty bold statement, sir.

Well if Coaster Alley says it then that means it's guaranteed to happen!!

Maverick replaced White Water Landing.

I just love how you momentarily stopped a FaceTime call just to screen shot that.

forget opening weekend, what's the consensus on lightning rod being open for the thrills in the hills event april 8/9?
Give me just a few minutes and I'll have the answer....

So now you all are just going to jump on the bandwagon.
Sheep!
I was the true believer! Just as I believe that the Chargers will one day win a Superbowl before I die, I believe in Dolly! I believe in RMC! I believe in the Schilke! I saved the remainder of the puppies! I and I alone!
You can all thank me as you see fit. Preferably with money. In large denominations. $20s, $50s & $100s. And don't worry if you don't have that kinda coin all at once, you can send me monthly installments. I'm flexible.
You're welcome!
Here's your payment....

The "flag" would be the square tube welded onto the tread plate on the right wheel housing. If the wheel housings were indeed new, one would imagine everything would have been thoroughly painted.
Interesting. I never noticed that square tube before. Why is it called a flag, what is it for, and why does it appear to only be on the very last car of the train? My first guess would be it's an old school sensor to let the computer know the train has cleared a block.The flag is what the ride's sensors "see." Rev also has proximity sensors that "see" the wheel bogies as the trains pass by. (Highlighted in image below)
Any part of a train can be used as a flag such as: Car chassis, Wheel bogie, or brake fin. It all depends on what the programmer of the ride's control system is trying to monitor.

This Intamin definitely got built under the radar. Looks like a lot of fun.

You keep insulting teenagers but keep in mind that people like Coaster Studios or even the guy that created All american thrills are both teenagers. You shoudn't judge a person based on a comment he made online. Yes there are some dumb teenagers but there are also some very stupid adults in this world like Trump. You just can't stereotype a certain group of people.Yeah the layout of this coaster looks awesome but all of the supports and the I-Beams just make it look like unfinished ride even tho they're not done building it yet. Without the I-Beams, this ride would look like a more polished ride but the I-Beams are crutial for the type of inversions that these coasters do. Taking out the I-Beams would create immense stress on the supports that could lead to the supports tearing up easier.

It's probably just because I live in the St. Louis area, which is pretty much a sh*t hole.
You've clearly never been to San Bernardino....

Wow that's sad to hear. Glad Sea World released that video.

Bacon > Strippers
I've seen where too many strippers come from, being that their homes are always piles of filth and dirty burnt spoons next to hypodermic needles are always nearby. The magic has been forever ruined for me.
In your line of work I can only imagine!

How about bacon-covered strippers?

Well, I've flown out of O'Hare many times, and it can't possibly have a worse configuration than that one. I don't know the arrival gate yet, but where is the Alamo desk?
Agreed. O'Hare is the pinnacle of horrible airports.
