  1. Look for around Memorial Day. Anyways track is onsite in the overflow lot. Pretty nice morning to go sit on some Intamin track.
  2. The tower element will be something like this. The drop may be less steep and I may have the support connections mixed up but thats the general idea. The track goes under that top banner from the launch in front of the station. Looks like one of the trenches will have a waterfall at the end of it. I think this one is near the third launch.
  3. Yeah there are two launches very early on. Launch out of the station then you go into that overbanked turn over the indoor cheetah holding area. Right after that turn its into the boosters to the tower. I am not 100% sure about all the inversions, a while back someone showed me a picture from Busch that had the layout and there is one labeled "Heartline Roll over RR" which would be the element someone circled from the video. Then there is a "heartline roll" in the old rhino rally water area, and then a third "corkscrew" over the EoA path. That was pretty early though and some things may have changed.
  4. That figure 8 element is high up in the air. Remember this picture: Those are the supports for it, you launch into that element. From that tower, you drop into the trench that is along side the sky ride building. I can assure you the trench that is near the sky ride does not house a launch, I think it was assumed because it was a long straight piece of track. We know where all the launches will be, there is only 3 of them. In fact here is a profile view of the trench near the sky ride building. Looking at the video again, I am sure that it is starting in that trench. That video is picking up right after the drop out of the tower element, that path it goes under is the train bridge. However I do not see the pond that is supposed to go over.
  5. Just so you know that layout picture is absolutely correct, but Lance over at Screamscape always had the launch wrong. See how it says "launch in trench," that is actually not true, the launch is before that, in front of the monorail building. There is a long straight away in the trench after that tower element.
  6. All the files were available for anyone to download. Just like the other guy said, it was clearly posted in their "planroom" section, which isn't all that uncommon.
  7. Just to clear this up a bit. Yes, the pictures in these files were available on a contractors website. They were available for anyone to download, some where password protected zip files, some were not. I originally posted them to Orlando United, and they took them down. That night I got a message from their mods asking to explain the situation and they would go from there. Once I explained how the files were obtained, they agreed it would be okay to post them on their forum. In the mean time, another user asked if he could host the files at his blog. I said it may not be a good idea, but I didn't prohibit him from doing so, as the files are not mine either. Thats when I found out about this park secrets blog. I do not run that website, but I can say that the files are indeed legitimate. Back on topic though, how about the supports for the tower structure? To my knowledge there hasn't been anything done like that before. Usually you think of supports as being symmetrical for the most part, but to see the supports for this tower, it truly is one-of-a-kind.
