FeelTheFORCE 4 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Looks great! I just hope that they don't rush the opening so much that those spots won't get painted. I'm sure they won't and will have them painted quickly, though. I can't wait for that real-life pov!! Link to post Share on other sites
haux 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Anyone know more of what was going on in the station/tunnel area that needed more work?They're putting a ceiling/floor in above/below the station so things don't fall on the track before the launch as the train goes under the station.

Loco 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wow, It turned out better than I thought. Not bad at all, can't wait to ride it! BTW is it just me or does the turn have a little "pop" to it, like a little bunny hop? Link to post Share on other sites
ECZenith 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wow, that was fast! Gotta give them credit for fixing the problem so quickly! Link to post Share on other sites
SFOGdude25 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 That turned out a lot better than I thought. I like the little pop in the curve. It might give some air! I can't wait to ride this thing! Link to post Share on other sites
waterviper 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Wow, that was fast! Gotta give them credit for fixing the problem so quickly! You know what else I find kind of odd, this is turning out to be a quick fix as if they anticipated it! Hmmm! They probably designed that spot so an S-curve would fit perfectly in case the heart line needed removing..which it did. Link to post Share on other sites
jarmor 9 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Exactly im sure it's not the "oh no we open in 2 days what to do" type situation. I feel they knew after the first couple test but decided to keep everything under the wraps and then make an announcement and give the impression they just found out but meanwhile track is being shipped to the US even before the announcement. I think its a smart move to make it seem like the issue was solved over night. Link to post Share on other sites
Gnome 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 S bend looks retarded. Link to post Share on other sites
Jakizle 9 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I personally think the transition looks awesome. Hoefully that small hill will be significant enough to provide a quick pop of air! Link to post Share on other sites
IceDragon 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I personally think the transition looks awesome. Hoefully that small hill will be significant enough to provide a quick pop of air! I'm sure the transition of the track will help with that too! Link to post Share on other sites
stealth2006 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I personally think it looks great! But then again, it will still be travelling at speed, and the transition will be taken fast! So the neck-chopper will still happen I think! Link to post Share on other sites
PKI Jizzman 20 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Umm....what happened to the kick ass tunnel head chopper fly out? Link to post Share on other sites
Carnage 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Umm....what happened to the kick a$$ tunnel head chopper fly out? It's still there, you're just looking at it from a different angle. The tunnel wall is inset from the end of the tunnel itself. Link to post Share on other sites
PKI Jizzman 20 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 ^Ohhh yea, I remember that now. The water is filling back up now! Maybe it will be open within a week! filling up or filled up Link to post Share on other sites

coastrfreak2000 0 Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Even though you didn’t see it in the animation or original plans, we’ve installed what are known as “water bombs” that will explode as each train dives over the lagoon after the second launch! They’ll go off in sequence adding to the adventure and excitement of the ride. Awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
