halation Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I was just comparing (I guess I'm jealous) Renegade and The Voyage. Both coasters cost six million, five hundred-thousand dollars. The Voyage is significantly higher and TWICE as long. I suppose there is not much point in comparing what is done but Valleyfair could have got a woodie that is MUCH better (not that I have rode Renegade). Waaaa.Waaaa.
steel Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Woah, let's not go near a comparison between Voyage and Renegade. That will result in a vicious flame war and a locked thread.
Thrillrider15 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 I just hope over the years it doesn't become trimmed (like all the other rides in the park, but I'd doubt it would happen).
steel Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Where would they put a trim? The only straight track is the lift hill.

The Voyage is significantly higher and TWICE as long. I suppose there is not much point in comparing what is done but Valleyfair could have got a woodie that is MUCH better (not that I have rode Renegade). Waaaa.Waaaa. Good point! My guess is that Valleyfair probably has to build a huge concrete base for the entire part of this ride outside of the floodwall, which is basically on riverbed type land that often floods in the spring. Other than that, I can't think of what would make it so expensive in comparison. Ja, and don't worry about Renegade being possibly "bad". I mean, by looking at a picture of the Knoebel's Phoenix, for instance, you have absolutely no idea how awesome the ride is because it just looks kind of "meh". Renegade could turn out to be the hit coaster of 2007, who knows? I think we should all wait until we ride it until we start reviewing it.

Your last point is right - people said El Toro was lame before it was built, judging off the CGI.
CP_RULES Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 Where would they put a trim? The only straight track is the lift hill. Any non-turning piece of track can be trimmed. For instance, lets say the air-hill after the first drop.
alpengeist04 Posted October 25, 2006 Posted October 25, 2006 ^^Very true. People should never judge a book by its cover, so don't judge a coaster till you've ridden it.
CedarPoint420 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Seems like they got alot done in 4 days. http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm If I counted correctly on the 21st they had 4 bents up and by the 25th they had around 20 done.
CP_RULES Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 Im guessing that's the turn-around. Correct? Either way, its lookin' sweet.
coasterfreak101 Posted October 27, 2006 Posted October 27, 2006 I'd say that it is, considering that there appears to be long straight sections of footers leading to/from it. Whatever it is, it looks great!
CedarPoint420 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Another batch of photos. It's moving along nicely. http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm
halation Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Another batch of photos. It's moving along nicely.http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm Very cool. I was there on Saturday and couldn't see anything. B.T.W. Valleyscare was really fun. They must have put a lot of work into that. Definately will be going every October.
the_rock401 Posted November 2, 2006 Author Posted November 2, 2006 The turnaround is just about done, and is best viewed from County Road 101 during daylight hours. It also appears that this won't be as hard as we thought to get pictures of the site. No sitting at Flying Cloud with a massive telephoto lens trying to get pictures. Paul
CedarPoint420 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 4 New Photos http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm
CedarPoint420 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 Another batch of photos. http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm
apollo210 Posted November 14, 2006 Posted November 14, 2006 That is going up faster than what I can type! I hope this turns out to be good!
CP_RULES Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 New update: http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm -Justin "Hott!" Seabaugh
DallasAlvey Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 Rolling right a long. At this rate Renagade will be finished in no time.
CedarPoint420 Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 New site overview pictures. http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm
CP_RULES Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Check out the construction gallery and see SIX new pictures of Renegade! The ride is starting to look pretty dang good!
kennywood!007 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 WOW! Their moving along so quickly. This ride could be finished very soon.
Xme3 Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Wow, this is getting up so amazingly fast. And because we have been having a mild winter (so far) I don't think that the construction team will be in any danger of being snowed-out.
CedarPoint420 Posted December 21, 2006 Posted December 21, 2006 4 new photos showing off work on the lift hill and some work on the transfer track. http://www.valleyfair.com/public/information/photo_galleries/index.cfm
