[Vonni]

So are they going to call this area YOLOville? Or YOLOplaza. Or they could get all Euro on us and call it YOLOpalazzO!

 

I am all for YOLOpalazzO!!!!!

Sadly, I can't make it to ANY of the ERT times! Just how my schedule works out.. So I will be riding on Sunday, June 23rd. I can't wait! I'll be there at opening. I'll be at the park tomorrow. I'm deciding where to take my camera to do an update or not. Reply and let me know if you want me to do an update from tomorrow.

Was anything ever put in the spot where Flashback was, or is it still vacant?

It's still vacant.

Anyone else having technical issues with registering for the Saturday preview? The "Select a Date:" drop-down box doesn't have any options to choose and it won't let me continue without selecting a date. They're not out of space already, are they? Maybe I'll just go during the next week and get in at 9:30.

It would be perfect for a HH expansion. I wonder if that is even an option for SF corporate.

Actually they did use it as an expansion for HH, its a Cabana spot now.

Yes, the link now shows the 22nd preview as full. That was quick...

In case anyone was interested in how testing is going, here's a video that shows testing rom yesterday from just about every angle. It looks a but faster now than it was in the beginning.

Looks like there is going to be great hang time at the top of the loop.

From the overhead shots on Google Maps before zooming in really close it still shows that area as a vacant lot. There has always been a little cabana area right next to where Flashback was, but I don't think they ever expanded into that lot when it was removed. I'll be over at Hurricane Harbor next week so I'll have to check, but last time I was there they hadn't expanded.

Maybe that's where the new for 2014 ride will go: Launch to Breakrun: The ride. It just launches you and then you hit the brakes. It's short, but man what a launch!

[ahhculdee]

That's totally the new ride, all five seconds of speed & breaks.

The picture does appear to be slightly dated though---Full Throttle has no visible construction

Isnt that called Formula Rossa?

Yeah, I noticed that. I figured it had to be within the last year or so though. I could be wrong. I'll just have to check it out when I get out to Hurricane Harbor.

We already have one of those!

Do you mean it "breaks" after "five seconds of speed"?

 

I think the word you wanted was "brakes."

Well knowing the mountain, it might actually break apart

lol yeah I was just about to say, at SFMM that might not be a typo

The first two shots look slower than previous test runs!! I REALLY HOPE this isn't full speed.
