MylesG4L Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 to any club TPR member or Robb Alvey, can you please pm me. I have a question about joining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMGeek27 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Just got back from the park and MAN was it dead. By about 3, X2 only had a station wait. Longest wait I saw was about 30 minutes for Tatsu. And that is strange.. Because the parking lot was 100% full. There must've been a lot of people at Hurricane Harbor... Riddler and Scream were running 1 train. Â Also, I saw 1 test run while on the X2 lift, but that is all I saw. Looks to be about the same speed as the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanreich Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I'm really hopeful that Full Throttle will have a somewhat significant effect on the lines for the rest of the coasters in the park. It would just be an overall better day at the park with shorter lines for the big coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhculdee Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 That's totally the new ride, all five seconds of speed & brakes. Â Do you mean it "breaks" after "five seconds of speed"? Â I think the word you wanted was "brakes." That was really ironic considering that was a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Found this nice video with a lot of runs from different points of view. Interesting enough, there were a few comments mentioning the way soft/hard wheels affect speed. It looks like now everyone is an expert on types of wheels just because Cedar point released that video where they were mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotura Violenta Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Looks quite fun! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 ^^I love how the hard/soft wheels has become a huge thing people turn to now when a coaster looks slow in testing. Like how do you even know it has soft wheels unless your an engineer on this? I find it quite hysterical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 This video is great! Thanks for sharing. At about 1:09 in the video, when the train is coming over the loop it looks to be going pretty fast. At least a lot faster than other videos, so hopefully that is a sign of the future. We'll actually get some airtime over the top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porsmond Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 looks like the launch into the loop at the start could be prone to rollbacks maybe, but I'm liking the concept of this coaster now, looks great, the track over the loop look like it could give great airtime. Do we know if there will be any effects in the tunnel when it first goes into it to simulate its going into a backwards launch??I'm thinking a scenario like flashing red lights,Warning lights,Malfunction noises etc to really build up some drama and make it exciting???

willh51 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I can just imagine the following dialogue played over speakers in tunnel: Â Boy: "Hey, why'd we stop?" Girl: "It's time to go [actual name of the coaster]." [pitch black is cut by strobe-light lightning, robotic voice booms "REVERSE THE BEAT"] Boy: "Wait, we're going backwards?!" Girl: "YOOOOOLLLLLLLOOOOOO!!!!" Â Dubset slams into your ears as the train rockets into reverse. Upon re-entering the tunnel riders question whether the boy and robotic voice are also yelling "YOLO." Â I imagine you would have previously met these characters on cardboard cut-outs in the queue and memorized each placard due to the three-hour, one-train assisted line. They probably have futuristic names like "Treble" and "Wah-Wah." Â The End. Â But I like the skateboarding dinosaur, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_hunter132 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Thought I'd sign up instead of just coming on here everyday to see if any progress was posted. Â I just bought tickets for the Midnight Opening of Full Throttle - Hopefully it isn't to crowded (You wouldn't think it would be, but who knows.) Glad that it comes with a lovely YOLOshirt and YOLOmeal. Can't wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
