Blue Turbo

I am so excited for this place. Hopefully I will be able to go opening weekend as I live only an hour and a half from Vegas.

I just went to Thorpe for the first time yesterday and was very pleased with their loose article policy that they have on some of the coasters (Saw, Stealth, X, and Swarm). They have a station where you hand them your bag, they put it in a cubby and hand you a wristband that had the corresponding number to the bin. When you get off the ride, you hand the worker the wristband and they get your bag. It worked really well (except for on Swarm as it was placed right at the merge of the normal, fast track, and backwards lines so there was no easy way to access it).

I am studying Materials Science and Engineering and the main cause of fatigue is cyclic loading, the material is exposed to either periods of tension and then compression or tension and then returns to normal. So once a microscopic crack appears in the material, the cycles of differing forces cause the crack to grow with each cycle until it gets to a critical size causing the failure.

I don't do well with anticipation. I must know now!

^They really don't have time to be waiting until Saturday for the lift if they want to meet their deadline, which they seem to be very adamant about doing.

^Take the tunnel!!!!!!!

^Plus with all of the -ests is that who know when someone else is going to come along and out -est your -est

^Now that is how you make a train

I love the low profile of the sides

^LOVE that movie!

^I would actually want to wait in line if I could watch that the whole time

^

^Great pictures. I am excited to see this finished and luckily I only live an hour and a half from Vegas so will be able to check it out when it opens.

^But especially on a B&M hyper. The way the seats are inclined with the clamshell restraints makes then super secure and seatbelts virtually useless

^One is blue and the other is green

^It will be slightly less than that due to friction and air resistance, but pretty close

You might be a coaster nerd if you are reading a novel (The Sea, the Sea), and you get really excited when you see the name Schwarzkopf and get really excited

I am rather skeptical as to whether or not this will actually happen

Here is a video of the game. It looks like to build a coaster you have to spend both types of currency, which is really annoying. Also, at 24:42 it shows a $124.99 microtransaction! Are you kidding me right now, why is that even an option? [youtu_be] [/youtu_be]

^That's what I was thinking

WOW! This is just amazing. I am so glad to see that RMC will be taking Europe by storm with this. Kolmarden is definitely putting itself on the map by building a good, solid ride without gimmicks that will force its way to the top if the polls.

Great work. It is projects like this that really show how amazing NL2 is and how beautiful it looks. The rolling pretzel is really cool and should be implemented into all new flying coasters in real life.

This. Companies like Disney are very strict with rules and don't give second chances. In the college program if you break any major rules you are done there, so they actually work hard.

There might be a catch-22 if those coasters were in another park. In any big park, Cyclops would have ratcheting lap bars, a re-profile of the drop and/or a complete stop before the drop - or all three of those. I could see Hades doing real well in a place like Holiday World. They would run 3 trains, too There sure is enough time and track for 3 trains... Three trains? I would be happy with two trains.

^I really like the sound of that. I love that they are actually listening to the people that have experienced the new system and working on ways to improve it. This is what make Disney so amazing, they actually want to make their customers happy by offering an amazing experience and are constantly working to make it better.
