Did you know I dated his daughter? Haha

1. Large Orange Steel Sticks = New Perm Stage 2. Lone Construction Worker + Behind Nick Ride + Side of Blue Man = Station 3. Trusses between Hole in Wall + Mummy Building = Asylum In Wonderland Stage or Arrival Show or Thunder Dome for One Mighty Night or Rock The Universe or Mardi Gras ... the list goes on. it's two stages that they merge to fit their needs. None of this will be used for the new perm stage. I am quite sure it will be used else where in the park for special events and what not.

did you know... two of the main reasons for the rhino rally water portion being broken are - 1) the water contains chemicals that keep the track and rovers from rusting. now keeping in mind the ride has proxies under the water that monitar the location of each train. not only was it a bad idea to put something elecrtical under the water but the chemicals eat away at the proxies and causes elecrtical shut downs. 2) the 3d-ish nature of rhino rally has the third running rail within the trough. the purpose of this (cam pipe, as its called) is to turn the pontoon back and forth to simulate the feeling of a real run away pontoon. (yes, rhino rally was built by vekoma. it is a complete track circuit that includes two drops and a lift hill!) THIS IS SO COOL! how do you know this? Is there anyways they can change that? I rode RR today and the water portion was more fun. I think that they should perhaps add some type of special effects and make the rapid area more....well...rapid like. lol did you know if you post on a db like this and AB finds out, your pretty much screwed? take a note sam06pr! just a friendly reminder

Did you know that Rhino Rally was the worlds first 3d coaster... And thus the gap between traditional coasters and the 4d coaster was filled!

Don't forget the mummy rides and the launchers that have the dual sliding load station that have moving track pieces as well. Mummy still has a lot of issues with it's track switches.

...

Actually, the 2nd drop on Griffon is a steeper angle than on SheiKra... SheiKra's 2nd drop is only 80° while Griffon's is around 88° or 89° You sure about that? I don't think so. Lol

If you look at the new photos you can tell that it will be floorless and feature a longer train like Griffon.

Both coasters move at the same speed when ascending the lift. SheiKra takes my vote due to the fact that they shoved such a large coaster in such a small place. (Everyone loves it when you take something big and shove it into a small place!)

I don't know if it's been said or not but this will be a floorless DM. You can tell by the diamond plate panels that run along side of the lift running rails. Griffon came with them and SheiKra installed them for the floorless conversion. They support the evacuation platforms the ride operators use to help remove guests from the ride.

I know myself and many another ride op who could careless about you taking a camera on the ride. But as rules do say they can hurt people and or the operators. I mean hurting another guest is one thing but you hurt a Op your going to have problems. Not to bring up bad memories or anything but I feel this could be a good lesson for you guys and gals out there... Rob came to busch and rode on my ride SheiKra. He got a onride and I procided to yell at him and well threaten him. Only cause I had a bad experance wit ha camera and the back of my head one time. So after he explained he has permission form PR I apologized knowing that he had went the right way. This is also something to note if your with the PR people and what ever your doing is going to make the park look good you would be suprised as to what they might let you do...Rob got his cam on the ride diden't he? PR gets in to it with us ops from time to time. But if you go the right way you will get what you want one day... Sorry again rob but I had to bring it up so people know just how a op can feel when a camera flys off a certin invert coaster at bgt and gets nailed in the back of the head and had a mild concussion and bleeding... Its all good tho its how us ops role...
