hyyyper

prolly just PTC's, the only thing to look out for is the color, the logo is already on the site and IMO they'll use it on the front of the trains also. And why take the tarp off? it's more practical to just let it be and remove it once they put the trains on the actual track

I don't have console, so i play Frets on Fire, which is basically the same, only you pick up your keyboard upside-down and the F-keys are the frets and the enter to play the note

I've got another 4 testing videos from the 18th. These are decent and from different angles. Sorry for the double-post but it was easier to upload this way. If i have time i will upload zips for the ones who can't stream later this day part 1 of 4 part 3 of 4 Troy Testing II Part III.wmv Troy Testing II Part I.wmv Troy Testing II Part III.zip Troy Testing II Part I.zip

just a teaser, vidoes will follow tomorrow

Ok, i've added a download for the ones who can't stream. If you can stream it might be wise to download it anyway. Because the streaming made my video to a 4:3 while it's filmed in 16:9

Testing video is available in this topic: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36449&highlight=

Sorry for the bad quality, but the sun was right in front of me, i hope to get better footage tomorrow. For now, enjoy! Troy Testing.wmv Troy Testing.zip

Yet another update. The first train has been put on the track!

Anyone with more than 4 braincells and who had biology in school knows that were here because of evolution, and not 'the-dude-on-the-cloud'

Hey, i looked at the first post in the topic and EXACTLY ONE YEAR has passed since the news of the woodie came out, and look where we are now! anyways, i thought i'd post some pics from my side. They're from last tuesday Big Size Big Size

All the bents that fell down on march 5, were back up in 12 days. Toverland had caculated a 2 week margin, so we should be ok

i've seen the pic on the dutch boards, and it's already on my desktop, but why open a new topic for it? can some moderator plz merge these threads?

i recommend you search google for coaster dictionairies, most of the top results cover pretty much everything

Update 16-5

Yay, i just got my t-shirt, w00tness

I'm sorry I didn't understand... I'm very interested by DATman's question! I thought it looks like an anti roll back but it's strange to put that for all the ride!! It's not an anti-rollback. They make a very large strip of all those little pieces and put them on the middle of the ties. Then that's done, the workers that put the actual track in place, make sure the distance between the two tracks are equal. They do this by putting each track at the same distance from what you thought was an anti-rollback. If you look at other GCI's construction, you'll notice the same thing during a certain phase, but when the coaster is completed, it's gone

From that 'thing' the trackers can make sure the track has a consistend width (the room between the rails should be constant)

What a day was today. The usual Friday-update, together with a meet-up and a construction tour at the end. I won’t be typing a really long story here, just caption the photos. To start with the horseshoe, which was just over halfway done when we arrived at Toverland. The horseshoe, is shaped in that way that it’ll give pops of airtime on the way up and down. There goes another bent. The bent, again. After after short time is was almost ready to be attatched. Overview I. Another bent going up. And up. Once a good altitude, it’s being guided to the horseshoe. Horseshoe meet bent. Bent meet horseshoe. The towers that, at this moment, are about 16 and a half feet high. Which means that there will be another 10 feet on top of it. The to-bo-theme-area, from the Boosterbike. Poles! Even the technical staff of Toverland is helping out. The 70-degree-turn is receiving track. Overview II. Triple-crossover. Overview III. Overview IV from the survivalcourse. Overview V from the Boosterbike. Overview VI also from the Boosterbike. Skyline of Toverland. Then the tour started. We first got a presentation on Troy. For us coasterfans there wasn’t much new, but it was fun for the once who didn’t know anything on coasters. Especially when NoLimits was used to show off the ride. After the presentation we went outside to walk around Troy. Us, coasterfans didn’t. Because as soon as the gate opened we were running, around, over, under and through the support structure to take pictures. . When you walk towards Troy, you’ll come across the Tojan Horse. The foundation has been installed. The Roof The horseshoe. The triple-crossover. Same as above, only from the flytrough. Entrance of the horseshoe. Looking back on the 70-degree turn from the crossover. Entrance of the horseshoe, this time from the track itself. The drop. The triple-crossover. The drop (again). Under the top of the lifthill. The outside of the parallel turns, this one goes from the triple-crossover to the big helix. Looking upward to the lifthill. Looking back to the big helix, from underneath the crossover. The big helix from the inside. Crossover from the big helix, also from the inside. Trackshot of the little helix. Looking from the little helix towards the horseshoe. Trackshot from the end of the little helix into the brakerun. The brakerun. Trackshot from the bunnyhop. Bunnyhop. Entrance of the little helix. Trackshot from the lifthill (it is forbidden not to take this picture when you are on the construction site). Horseshoe. Horseshoe with a little bunnyhop. Prelift from the place where the transfertrack will be. Horseshoe with the prelift on the foreground. Trackshot of the part just after the flytrough. Horseshoe. Triple-crossover. Trackshot of the 70-degree-turn, taken backwards.. Drop. Big helix. The outside parallell turn, facing the crossover. The inside parallel turn, also facing the crossover. Triple-crossover with on the background the horseshoe. Drop with 70-degree turn in the foreground. And then the 30 minutes were over, and a quick snap of the gate/towers. Not to forget, in ThemeParkReview-style: Troy trough the trees! Little background info. The first picture of the tour (with the horse’s foundation) was taken at 7:49, and the last pic (trough the trees) at 8:18. 40 pictures in half an hour, not bad. After the tour I decided to take another off-site tour of Troy myself, to make a few twilight-photos. Troy from the employersentrance. From the parking. 150 feet to left. The big helix. Both helixes. The little helix and the horseshoe. Skyline shot. Behind the lift/bunnyhop. From here you can see the height of the horseshoe pretty good and think of how dominating it’ll be when the horseshoe is done. Last picture, IMO the horseshoe is already dominating enough.

My pictures from yesterday(evening)

you could have found it yourself my putting Eindhoven and Toverland into googlemaps, but i'm in a generous mood http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&saddr=eindhoven,+netherlands&daddr=toverland,+netherlands&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=41.224889,81.035156&ie=UTF8&z=11&om=1 a little over 40 kilometers

awesome paint job indeed

i think it's like the voyage animation made in a sort of 'super'-version of Nolimits that is used for this purpose

Update Friday 27 April I went to Toverland early today, because i didn’t want the sun to get in way while taking pictures. First, de drop. Railing and catwalk has been installing, wood for the track is waiting to be installed. The triple-crossover, only the top part need his ties, raillings and catwalks. The prelift is also done, except for the actual track. Onto the boosterbike. Since they moved the fence foward, i need to use the boosterbike to get some good shots. Ah well, I can’t say no to 11 times frontseat in a row. Theming. Little signs have been put up with info and concept arts. The foundactions of the towers has been made. And three ‘bonus’ pictures. The first one is from workers doing some lateral bracing on the first drop. Second is the turn that comes from the fly-trough, dives under the lift and goes into the final helix. The third picture is taken 1,500 feet from my own house and 2,5 mile from Toverland. (If anybody with a big zoom lens wants to take a detour sometime, pm me )

Odd. We received the photos yesterday through email from one of our guys on site. they are in fact from coasterchi, owner of toverland.info, i recognize the 'yellow' wood. I guess coasterchi gave the pics to Stan or Clair, and they sent them back to Sunbury
