Will you pretty please put a heartline roll over the Skyride?

It's great to see an Intamin coaster coming to the area, what were the main factors for choosing them? Was anyone else considered for thr project? Compared to other BGT coasters with higher top speeds, will Cheetah hunt still feel fast IYO?

I know several people who have seen it in person say it will go over. It will be very cool from the Skyride.

There isn't a single normal thing on this bad boy. It looks like a bunch of freakin lunatics built it and had the Nitro Circus guys design it. I would love to get a few riddes someday.

Hey Jarmor, I was wondering the same thing but several people who have seen it in person say it has to go over the top. They claim there is no way it can go under and still have clearance. It seems strange to me that it would go over the top but it would be awesome. This will probably be answered for sure by the end of the day, someone will have a shot of it.

^What is the deal with TPR and that website. The guy has had nearly daily updates of the construction and I have enjoyed them quite a bit. So where did it go wrong? I know you guys have good relationships with other sites.

I have heard from a good source that the first s-bend will go over the Skyride. In the official video it goes under. If it turns out to be true the element will have to get up and over and down into the trench under the EOA trail bridge pretty quickly. Sounds pretty cool I hope it is true. Think of how cool this will all look from the Skyride, especially the fly over if true. ^ I think for now I had better rides with the old trains. They were mixed in with rides that were zero fun as well. The Flyers will find the track a little better with time and get a little faster. It felt slow to me but I did get to ride in the back which was no chance before the new trains.

I hope Intamin's Florida debut goes a little better than Mauer"s. I have had some pretty fun rides on Rockit but some just awful ones as well. Here's an idea: since you will never ever ever ever get the capacity you were hoping for why not remove the first brake run and turn it into the mother of all airtime hills .

I love how the BGT coasters use the terain so much, they have some beautiful rides.

I took some time on this last trip to watch Kumba run for a while, you can get soooo close. It really is one hell of a roller coaster right now. The year Kumba opened I missed quite a bit of school, some of the best times ever. I also ride back seat right and will have to pay more attention to what you have mentioned. Honestly it was so out of control feeling I just must have missed it. I am going to get back out next week and hope for similar riding. I mean seriously i came off the ride seeing stars. Just great. The reason i ride.

I went out to the park today, sorry no camera, but about 70% of the track is up for Cheetah Hunt. You will be below ground a lot on the ride. It really is looking nice. In other park news; feeding the Kangaroos is great fun, I love the Lories as well. My rides on Gwazi were both limited to Lion and were smoother and slower. I am sure the trains will find a good line and be a little better but I have had better rides on the PTC trains so far. The Flyer trains look great and allowed me a back of the train ride on Gwazi so thats an over all improvement. Looking forward to Tiger, summertime and night riding. Kumba was awesome, one of my best rides ever. They were running one train but it was well worth the wait. This park already has a great coaster line up with more on the way, good times.

Looking more awesome with every new video. Can't wait to hear what people think of the ride experience and hope life takes me to Texas someday soon.

Not theme park related but while watching the Super Bowl my sister said; "wow that guy is a professional football player and a professional bowler?" after hearing that a player was a Pro Bowler. For our non sports fans, the NFL all star game is called the Pro Bowl.

Chroniq said: "P.S. Friend Request Me." This is funny. I hope to God I have punctuated properly. Oops, pulled the chair out on me.

I think those new Sketchers would take that right off.

I have read this entire thread and have to say these are some great photos. Has Hanno commented yet?

Wow. Never thought I would see that. Looking forward to the grocery store, do they sell manatee meat?

^ Have a great time. Sadly I can't go. Reguarding operations on Gwazi: I know the guy from GCI spoke about redundancy for safety but did anyone ask BGT why they dont check both at the same time. In there defense if someone could get away with not clicking there seatbelt to ride I am sure they would. I remember when we were kids we would keep it loose on Blue Streak for more airtime. There probably is a pretty reasonable explanation, I would love to know the honest reason. Maybe with the ride not sucking now they will put more emphasis on capacity. I mean who knows maybe they just didn't really want anyone to ride it before.

I bet Saturday will have some pretty brutal lines for Gwazi. Sorry to here the load times have not gotten better. I wonder why they do it that way.

^ I think the drop ride is fun too. I was pretty surprised. I now have to wait until next week to go ride Gwazi. I have never ridden while they duel so hopefully they will be next week.

^Beautiful day today. I'm just sayin. Hit the coffee and get out there man. People are riding. Tiger side was ridden without headache, regret or spinemelting by a Thrillnetwork member. I will be there Saturday but today is just epic weather wise.

Hey bro, RollermanDan said they are soft opening the ride today. I really wish I could make it down there but the 2 hour drive is a gamble for soft opening.

The one they bring to the volusia county fair is pretty good. I think it's better than the bigger ones. It reaches the top and immediately drops so you dont know when you will fall.

I think this idea came from aliens, there is no way you guys thought of this.

Best Cheetah Hunt photos yet. I have been looking forward to a better shot of the twisty bit. When that is filled with water it's going to be awesome. Night riding is going to be just epic.
