I wonder if the GCI wooden coaster is going to be pushed back now. I would think so due to new restrictions likely to come from the wake of Sandy.

Well I do know two things. 1. Just because a ride op may allow it/ignore it does not mean the park authorizes according to their policy. 2. I would not post any POVs on this site.

Coaster looks great but becasue it looks great does mean it will be an AMAZING ride. I am honestly afraid that the ride might not have much speed as it navigates each element. Then again, some rides look slower from the ground then when actually on them.

^ROTFL @Roller Skater with frog hopper the end!!!

They did it at Mt. Olympus and it make me very un-easy. I've heard of crossing tracks when the train is in the station like at six flags parks and by crossing i mean crossing through the car (not in front or behind the train or between to cars of a train, but through the actually row of the coaster car). At Six Flags Parks, I know you would be

Maybe they can make the closure useful and make some final modifications to the ride. Basically, this would be a great opportunity to possibly modify the tunnel (make it a larger diameter so that they can take off the arm covers on the cars). Wishful thinking but highly doubted.

Doesn't that length vary?.. I always thought these rides accelerate only until the ride reaches a certain speed (as read by the rides sensors) and then it lets up/maintains that speed. Thus depending on the weight of the train with riders some lauches accelerations may take more track than others.

All the food stands at the xuxa looked like food stands in RCT1&2. Also interesting with the number of Mcdonalds. I want to visit Brazil so bad!!!

Yeah I305, only has 2 trains, but because the course is short, low to the ground, and the ride hauls a$$, the trains is ready to advance into the station before the prior finishes its restraint checks allowing. I305s line moves much faster most of the other rides at KD. I think IR could end being a people eater.

You hit the nail on the head. They did win me back with Terminator Salvation... but now we are back to a new coaster every year...

^ You guys ate those two women? lol

Oh man I remember TwistedRails. I used to visit that site religiously back when X was being built. I also miss danimation.com ... sucks that many forums don't go back to the late 90s early millennium anymore. You might want to visit www.Americacoasters.com as well.

Speaking of ... I can't wait to see the trains!

Hypersonic XLCs launch. Intimidator - bottom of first drop El Toro - Negative Gs (self explanatory) Wild One (final helix)- Lateral Gs From what I've been told I haven't experienced anything yet until I've ridden Montu with the MCBR turned off.

Yeah I think there needs to be some more manufactuers added to this poll.

I still think it is too early to speculate as to if the ride will be longer or not. At the same time, I think no one can slam the ride (having not ridden it) if it happens to end right after the tunnel. Either way, the ride looks awesome, and I am sure it will be awesome. Based on the former layout, the only thing that can happen after the tunnel is some sort of hill into an upward spiral/helix into the brakes (Nothing to cry about if you don't get it). I think of rides like Volcano at KD which builds all of this adrenaline rush with the launches and then has all this potential energy to unleash as it dives back into the volcano at the end of the ride. On my first ride, I thought all hell was going to break loose after diving back into the volcano but instead there were brakes and the ride was over. However, your heart is racing, you are still screaming, and you want more. This makes people want to ride again and again. I think the same effect will happen with IR if indeed it ends right after the tunnel. The question I have is, with NTG, it runs with 3 trains (understandably with the mid course block brake), so will IR have only 2 trains?

Splashtacular posted a video of Downunder (aka Bonzai Pipelines).

Most likely using a softer wheel. On JJ one train was always louder than the other and when I asked maitenance they said its the wheels.

I thought these rides had more than one train or the ability to run more than one train.

^The drop is going to be amazing

I've never appreciated just how tall this coaster actually is. It's almost or just as tall as el toro right? That Quarry makes my eye think the ride is shorter than it really is... I had the same trouble with Sky Screamer.

WOAH!!! This needs to happen! That would a huge!
