Great photo TR - Thanks for sharing For whatever reason, Everest seems to be operating in B nearly all the time now. I'm beginning to wonder if they ran into some sort of problem.

Well, all I will say is that most people will not like them. I think the ride will rock anyway but they are definately a little over the top in terms of being safe. Should we be surprised? This is NJ afterall. Pictures will come in this weekend once the park opens. Of course, they may have moved them or covered them.

LOL, being from NJ, I know what you mean Actually, the 1st drop can't be started just yet or they could end up with a permanent crane in there. They have to build in a specific order to keep from getting boxed in. As for when it opens, this IS NJ

I have the old site backed up on my work PC. If I remember (or you remind me!), I'll post a link to it I'll totally 100% backup what RJ and Stew said. When the launch pulses, expect a typical ride where you creep over the top. When its one long pull, its basically considered a overlaunch which IMO is the real reasoning behind the holding brake on the downside of the tophat. If you haven't had one of these launches then you haven't ridden the real Kingda Ka. Those of us involved with the commercial shoots and media days or those that just go to the park way to often know this ride a little bit too well. You really can tell what kind of mood the ride is in by the launch. As for the video, nice job getting something that looks that good under 8MB. Perhaps there should have been a disclaimer about the f-bomb though ?
