  1. I really don't get this statement though. . . What makes you think that this launch won't be reliable?? (Aside from the height as you mentioned.) I really don't see how height alone is going to cause the launch to be unreliable. . . And what makes you think this coaster is going to have frequent roll backs?? Aside from the height, and hope?? I'm not 100% sure who they settled on building this thing (or even if they have), but I know at one point Intamin was talked about. If that's still the case, no need to explain further! [emoji38] However, regardless of manufacturer, launched coasters do experience more than typical downtime usually, and as I was watching the POV, I was just struck by the fact that if the ENTIRE launch doesn't go off without a hitch, every time, going completely vertical no less, there's going to be rollbacks - plenty of them! Besides that, there are just other things about this project that seem a little... I don't know... Off? Sketchy? Hard to pin down, but watching that video, the fact that it's a huge vertical launch (has that ever been done, even on a smaller scale), struck me as a definite potential problem spot, right off the bat. Hopefully not, but it's a reasonable thought, at the very least... The only coaster that comes to mind with a vertical launch is Wicked at Lagoon Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
  2. Does anybody have a picture of the control panel for Thunderbird at Holiday World?
  3. I think it was a moderate crowd on Mothers Day (not for sure but heard) I would expect a little more for Fathers Day, but it shouldnt be anything like Memorial Day [emoji12] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
  4. They are made to flex at the end. You have to use force to rip it off as they are "glued" in the middle Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
  5. Has the side padding that somebody tore off of Storm Chaser been fixed? Blue train, Left seat, right pad Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
  6. It is very true that the front features more ejector air than the back. But the second seat (back of the first car on the train) is the true "ejector seat" on the coaster, as you're getting launched out of your seat violently the entire time! I prefer the front, for a little less aggressive, but still very aggressive and airtime filled ride! It's kinda funny because everybody forgets that seat. Most of the seats where a 3 train wait and we walked straight on in the 2 row! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  11. All I gotta say is that CSF turned the track to where you can't see the stickers and that the piece of green track has the holes for a brake/trim.

  17. One Thing I Noticed On Storm Chaser at Kentucky Kingdom is that when pulling into the station from the brake run is that it brakes HARD about a quarter way into the station Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G928A using Tapatalk
